My dad cosigned for me when I was in my twenties and had a good job. He knew me well enough to know that I would be responsible with payments. I paid off the car early.
I think my children are the only ones I would do that for, and only in a similar situation (good job and responsible behavior). Thankfully they're all in their thirties and have good credit.
When my son got his second car in his early twenties, he didn't have good credit yet. My husband offered to cosign for him, but he refused, saying he would take the high interest loan and pay it off quickly to establish his own credit, which he did.
My husband and I both have excellent credit, so we would never have to cosign for each other.

I agree, ignored the warnings last year, never got a stream to work. Reported it, never heard anything back.

I just wonder if most (I did not say all) homeschooled kids get a rigorous science and math education

It's a valid point. Here in Baton Rouge when I was home schooling, I recognized that I could handle most things, including math, but could not adequately teach science after 8th grade. What most of us did was arrange a group class taught by a grad student, a qualified parent, or a private school teacher for our high school students. I also sent one of my students who was struggling with writing to take a class with a journalism instructor.
I don't know how much research people do now, but before I started and for the first few years, I did a lot of research and took a class on how to teach phonics. Many of my friends did several things like that. I remember The Well Trained Mind book; I read it and found it interesting. I suspect some curriculum writers back in the 80's and 90's wrote for the market they were targeting (mostly Christian conservatives) but didn't share those beliefs.

When I was in 7th grade, I had an English & history teacher who disliked it when people said "well" all the time. She told us at the beginning of the year if anyone said "well" unnecessarily, she would say "hole in the ground" every time. People got tired of hearing that fairly quickly, and most of us learned to improve our speech patterns.
So, maybe start doing something annoying when she says "like". It may be a losing battle since you're not with her all the time, but my teacher was only with us two hours a day, and her technique worked.

I know a lot of young women who cook and bake, whether they work outside their home or not. It's a lot less expensive and healthier.

Who gave up the HR?

Went to high school and college in the seventies. No gender dysphoria among the students. Richard Raskind "Renee Richards" was the only one I had heard of. He was the one who made it possible for subsequent "male to female" athletes to compete with women, in his case, in tennis.

You're better off asking that question here: LSU Women's basketball
The people who care about WBB gather there.

The Methodist church rarely has open spots on game day now because they sell season passes. You can find out about the Presbyterian church here.

Volcano rolls are usually good at most of the restaurants where I've tried it. Try a deep fried roll for a change; those are really good.
