How do people with a front vanity plate get away with it? The EU plate that will spell out some BS in a mish mosh foreign characters? Do they ever have a problem? Or can I just attach a random hunk of metal with scribbles and call it a day?

   Lived in Milford for 10 years. Its an amazing town. Just be warned home prices have grown a lot over the last 3 years, more than most places in CT.  Its also over-crowded. If there's the tiniest lot available, someone will build on it. Parking downtown or at the beaches has become unbearable. 
   Some streets flood, including ones a mile away from the beach. There are some neighborhoods barely above sea level, so do your research. Those are obviously the ones on the water. 
  I still recommend it. Its got everything! But do your research. That can be said about any place.

I teach a split level position in lower elementary. I think I found my sweet spot because 6-8 year olds don't disrespect and if they do, a quick glare will do the job. I've taught upper elementary before and I will never be back to it.

That being said, staff shortages are killing us. I have SPED kids who are barely getting hours. The school is k-8 with 1 SPED teacher. I have kids who are exhibiting Emotional Disturbance and ADD and I can't convince anyone to stop suggesting ways to deal with it (incentives that 5 days later turn into weapons) and get them tested. These children need behavior techs, documentations, labels, and paras. I cant keep giving up 4 preps a week on having a meeting about the same 3 children doing the same things. And if I don't, I get the "why didn't you do anything about it last year." I tried and no one listened.

If they have vehicles or investments, make sure all of their registrations, titles, and investment certificates are safe and easily accessible. Vehicles are useless without a title and I spent a year tracking one down because the original wasn't found. DMV has no right to provide you one until the car is in your name, but you can't put it in your name without the title. Couldn't ask the owner, for obvious reasons.

If they have shares, you need the original certificates because it costs hundreds just to make new ones and you can't sell (or transfer) their stocks without them. This part alone added months to probate for me and its the last step.

Learned all this the hard way.

Bank accounts are best to have beneficiaries. You can use those accounts as soon as you have a death certificate to manage the legal fees and estate management while the rest of the stuff goes through probate (a year or 2).

I did this with a messy estate and couldn't have paid for legal fees, probate fees (few grand) and working on a house to sell without being made a beneficiary.
