I passed the third grade ,but grammar is not my best subject .. so jeesh now I have to look like a porn star, cook clean and spell .. the pressure is too much .. going to stick my head in the oven..


I think most anyone familar with the internet can overlook typos and such. Like using two periods after every sentence,,,,LOL. But putting together hundreds of words with no breaks, all caps, and rambling. How many people will read that versus just skip it because it is too hard to follow/read.

And yeah, some evidence of an education in being able to write is a good thing. At least high school level!

If someone expects their profile to be read they should at least use punctuation & grammar. A profile of 600+ words with no paragraphs or even halfway decent punctuation is just too hard to read through. Add in those that use all caps and it's just a mess to try and read. Especially when it just rambles on and on.

So either that's their best effort (not serious about it) or they have poor grammar skills (not an attractive trait, to me anyway).

Hey everybody,

I'm looking for a book that will destroy everything I believe about the world and then build me up with a new understanding of things. What is your vote for the best book ever?


While I don't consider it the "best book ever", a good current release is "The Shell Game" by Steve Alten.

Pick up a copy of the book "The Shell Game" by Steve Alten. You'd be surprised about quite a few "facts" that Mr. Alten has brought to light by way of this new book of his. If you read then you will not view the neocons the same ever again.

There is no "set age" (law) that is used for this. If there are no circumstances (abuse etc) that would make the kids want to live with the other Parent, a Judge can "interview" the kids in a private setting (chambers) and gather information from them. The judge can, and may even call in a counselor (mental health professional) during the interview process.

Once again, there is no "set age" for consideration. It is based on the Judges descretion. smokin


briank66 is correct. It is discretionary. Most judges (good ones anyway) are reluctant however to drag in the kids. They will carry the unpleasantness of such things for a long time. Best to keep them out of it IMHO.

In many states the judge does NOT want to hear from the children. It isn't up to the children because as kids they do not know what is best for them (ex: will want to live where there is insufficient parental supervision, lax, etc.). Usually the deciding factor is, in legalese: "what is in the best interest of the child". Kids pull this "I wanna go live with _____" crap all the time in dvc situations and it isn't usually for the best reasons nor in their best interests.

Personally I believe the children should not be dragged into it or pushed into court or in front of a judge. That's not good for them at all. Keeping them away from the parental/adult legal matters is in their best interest. Instead it is the parents job to sort it out (or fight it out in court) while shielding the children from the unpleasantness of divorce proceedings.

These things can be confrontational, children should not have to "choose sides" but rather allowed to love both their parents. Putting them in a position to 'testify' makes them choose sides which is not healthy for them. Beware PAS (Parental Alienation Syndrome) during times like this.

If you believe that the children should now reside with you the majority of the time then there needs to be a reason (not just that the kids 'want to). A substantial change should be cited(since the father obtained custody legally to begin with). With such reason in hand, obtain an atorney and petition for custody change.

You'd need an attorney anyway since the custodial parent (per your description) doesn't sound as if he'd just agree. Obtain a dvc attny and be guided by their advice for your state. As for advocate for the children (Guardian Ad Litem) that must be directed by the court for a reason and most times the parents will have to pay the bill for the GAL (an attorney). It isn't free.

Good luck. It doesn't last forever :)

How important does a person have to be, in order to use the word assassinated instead of just killed or murdered? Oh, just something to think about, I guess.


A public figure with political power.

Considering that they are a nuclear power and have a potential for radical (even terrorist) political activity it is something that matters to most of the entire world.
