DYK I have given serious thought to being a guardian ad litem. You basically act to protect the interests of specific kids who are in the court system for whatever reason (mostly abused and neglected kids).
DYK there was a significant training requirement, though, and I could never figure out how to do that around my schedule. Plus I don't know if I could handle hearing all about how awful some people are to kids.
DYK a quick web search didn't turn up anything for NJ, but here is the FL website for GAL: http://www.guardianadlitem.org
"dyk it did go really fast. She just landed in LA and Frank is there to meet her. She's been travelling for over 24 hours and she's still got the LA to Newark flight to go"
"dyk We have ceiling fans in every room, our a/c is set at 78. So far our bill has been around $175ish which is great.
dyk We also have a radient barrier (we payed $1,000) and I think it has already paid for itself?
dyk Lowes and Home Depot can install them."
DYK Thanks for the info about the radient barrier, Karri?
DYK I had never heard of that, but I'm looking into it?
DYK I'm running 2 AC units here, so that is why my electric bill is so high?
DYK We have a separate unit that runs only the upstairs bonus room and although we keep the temp pretty high up there, we have computer equipment running up there so we can't afford to let it get too hot up there?
DYK While I love having my bonus room, I hate the cost of running the extra AC?
