Children are not responsible for the self-inflicted problems of their parents', but
some parents are really good at putting guilt off onto their kids. Navy Vet, history of alcohol and addition, marries and has 3 kids. Marriage fails, Mom gets divorce, is awarded minimal child support. Dad disappears for several months, returns broke, but is drawing unemployment--- with part going to State for indirect child support. Repuublicans kill long-term unemployment benefits. Obama gets re-instatement of long term unemployment program. Dad is no longer "On Unemployment" so can not regain benefits Dad becomes homeless and child support payments to State stop Dad has no mailing address or income Dad gets into special housing (only) program for homeless vets State mails Notice to Dad's old address to appear in Court for missing child support Dad gets arrested and put in jail for not appearing in Court Dad gets kicked out of vet program for having been arrested Oldest son in community college, working part time, but now has become very distressed over Dad's situation. Son now talking about quitting school to get FT job so he can care for Dad G-parents are very proud of G-son's concerns, but are trying to convince him to stay in school. |

Assignment 3/last one for the semester due tomorrow at 10 a.m. Australian CST. I have 4 records more to catalogue and it has to be done before I go to bed...I've had my mid-afternoon break which consisted of a walk to the supermarket and a coffee at an American chain which shall remain nameless, then came home and had a swim. Now, must concentrate...must concentrate and finalise code as fast as my fingers will allow me to.

Now committed to putting on an addition so that Mom can move in with us..... assuming the loan comes through.

So are you hoping the loan goes through or praying that it won"t?
I have exactly 3 more days to fill out a 50 page form from Uncle Sam that, if approved, will give me the money to get re-trained for a real job that pays actual money. And I haven't even started on it yet. I was going to start yesterday and tried to find some of the information I need online. I ended up spending two hours surfing the net and looking at Simon's Cat cartoons on YouTube. This morning - well, here I am on the Cellar. Nuff said. http://youtu.be/I1qHVVbYG8Y |

And back to Hector and Hockey -he got his first reffing gig tonight - for this Saturday. he's really nervous. The $18 helped a little ....and it's 12U house girls, so it shouldn't be fast or physical.... but he's all wibbly, poor lamb. And I'll probably be stuck in Detroit with the child doing an Academic Games Tourney.....

so i decided to say fuck everything and try to get my wife back. its a long shot that can totally come back to bite my ass and probably will, i quite likely just gave her an actual case for the harrasment lawsuit she's being hoping for. but whatever happened, at least i gave it a good shot.
