Hello! My husband and I are visiting Napa in November as an add on to a Thanksgiving trip to see family. We would love any advice on vineyards, restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, bike routes, really anything you wish you would have known on your first trip.

We are happy to pay for tastings but just want to avoid the $$$ tourist traps. We appreciate wines that are really unique and stand out from what you would find at any reputable wine shop.

Thanks in advance to this group for sharing your knowledge.

I’m genuinely worried that north Boulder is going to catch on fire. What is wrong with people, we all know who is setting these off. I’m just furious at how idiotic and selfish people are. We had to close all the windows because of the smell, oh and very afraid of FIRES. Thank you for listening to my rant.

Ugh. I feel like such an idiot. Basically, one of my letter writers uploaded a letter without a signature. I only noticed bc it was not approved in Interfolio. Dont ask me why my advisor had me use Interfolio for AMCAS and direct upload for AACOMAS but they did, so here we are.

So when the qc check on that letter did not pass due to missing signature in Interfolio I asked that they re-upload to both with a signture. They said they could nto find the AACOMAS upload link - since the letter was already received in AACOMAS I could not re-send.

So I had to create a new entry for them with a different email. I like a fu**ing idiot did not realize that you cannot specify letters in AACOMAS. Now I fear im screwed.

I emailed the support desk, I know they are usually pretty quick, but it's Saturday, and I already have secondary requests.

Help!!! Ugh I just cant believe I did this

Other notes: I was in a bad relationship most of undergrad, deeply impacted me. I have worked at barns throughout undergrad to make money, TAd for upper level physiology class, had a software internship and other industry internships in my bioinformatics masters.

I am an older student (28) and I’m married so I have another person to consider. I just need a better idea of what schools are worth me applying to (ie I won’t get overlooked for my crummy stats).

Thanks in advance (please don’t be mean to me)
