Now that you're away, aren't you glad? By the way, it cost us $24.22 To publish this note for you. So if you could just write a check Or even send it via paypal, what the heck. That brings our total to $209.22 The money that is owed to us by you. Cheers! WLU, MDJJ Josh,

If I borrowed $185 from my dad, he'd need to money back - not because he's stingy, but because he needs it. I've worked four jobs since I was 14 (I'm 17 now), but I still come home with a 4.0GPA while taking four AP classes and a class at the college. It's my winter break now, yet tomorrow I have to work 8AM-5PM and on Sunday 11:30AM-8PM, instead of enjoying the time off and doing all of my break homework...it's not that my dad is trying to punish me; it's just that I need to have a job to afford things. I also volunteer 10-20 hours a week as a Washington DECA state officer. I don't get paid for it, but it's something I enjoy doing, and it builds leadership. I do it in addition to my working, my schooling, and my other activities... Actually, my dad even owes me $200. So I wouldn't even be able to borrow money from him...I need to work to pay for my things, like a surgery that I'm getting in January that he can't afford right now... Anyway, I'm basically trying to say that not every parent has the luxury of letting their child not work while they are in school. I am certainly going to be doing work-study at college...that's just the way things are. I think it's a good thing: having a job teaches teenager responsibility. I mean, I can fit in a job, DECA, school, friends, everything into my schedule, so it's definitely possible. And even if it wasn't, I'd still have to make it work somehow, because my family just can't afford to have me not work...

Church Lady voice sez, "Maybe....PA?" Which might just explain why it's Le Note du Jour. So “full ride + still mentioning $185 = X”

But, Gee, if X not= jumping for joy, then what could it be?

Look at the initials: WLU, MDJJ. Parents commonly have the same last name/initial... Sounds more like some high school buddies still at home and they're in a miff over a Prom debt.
