Hello, I think and believe that we should spend the funds on a continued education. College degrees cost a lot less than jails, prisons, and some rehab places. Just my thoughts... |

I would say neither. Since Wally World (Wal -mart) rips off employees, health care and benefits. And then the customer who thinks’ they are getting a good deal, news flash, Wal-Mart’s products are made from the cheapest quality that suppliers can find since they are forced into a price locked quota for Wally world to sell their products.(just call the suppliers, they will tell you that). And I did work at a Wal-Mart DC so I know this for a fact but I got smart and quit; with the head games and the rest of Wally’s ****. And I thought the military played head games when I was in. And if you were to go to Wal-Mart for employment, full time is around 26 - 31 hours weekly, so you will need that Kmart job as well. |

Road Rage
|

I had an encounter over 6 years ago with a crazed motorist. I was going to work and some knucklehead was tearing down the highway at 90 or 95. He was moving so fast and stealthily, that I just barely saw him and avoided a collision with him, [I was going to change lanes]. The motorist also had to hit his brakes and take evasive action. He got irate and started to follow me. I presume he thought my lane change was deliberate, it was not. Well, he followed me for several miles and eventually tried to ram my car off the road. I am not a faint hearted individual. When this guy stopped the verbal abuse and hand gestures, [the finger], and resorted to physical violence, I had enough. So, behind me and got out. He threw the first punch and I had him up against the car and was pounding on him. Well, at that moment, the cops drove by and saw me beating up this motorist. It just so happened that there was a procession of 4 cop cars. So, they all took turns beating me. They did not care who started the fight or ask of its origins. This other motorist was a uniformed Air Force Captain. So, I was charged with assault and taken to court. The cops brutalized me, protected the road rage perpetrator, and threatened citizens who had seen what had actually happened, [my version]. To make a long story short, you should ignore these motorists if all they do is honk, yell at you, or flip you off. Try to avoid and evade them. But, if they physically try to harm you, do whatever you have to do to survive. Most states would allow "deadly force". And this was a way to say what? That you don't mind putting others at risk? "I stopped in the middle of a 4 lane thoroughfare. I came to a dead stop. I knew that if he also stopped, his intent was to cause me harm. Sure enough, he stopped right". Something don't smell right about this at all.... |

Your answer is yes. In today’s online world it is very easy for anyone to gather information from your computer when you are online. All it takes is certain software and knowledge on how to steal someone’s ID. But as long as you have some protection for your computer; as in firewalls, but you need to have your firewall or router set up right. Then you should be okay. |

Dude, your assuming defensiveness says it all. Any attempt at objectivity causes passive aggressive insults towards us. And a boatload of assuming. We aren't saying anything in particular about YOU. Or her... You don't seem to see that.... but of course why would you? It's not your fault, right? Mon 04/13/09 09:08 AMQUOTE: The problem with spending time with my sons during the week is that I work second shift.(she has also told them that I could see them during the week) If I could go to first with out the difference in pay, and the loss of my position that could be a way of taking care of that.(state of the economy has factors in this as well) "Well, this just answered it all. No point in posting more, at least to me. And I will add your posts are WICKED defensive" Ok were did I miss read this? |

That tears it! Dude you know what, some folks try to help and bring a little light and help YOU look at your situation from another angle. You post on a public forum, and when you do not get the answers you like you go all sixth grade on everyone. Good luck buddy. In response to this posting that you make. During your response to my post, you say to me using the word "you". I respond by showing simple facts that show the reasoning behind my post. And then you say I go "sixth grade on everyone" which seems to further more false accusations. Now maybe I have miss-interpreted what you wrote since you probably should have used “parents” in reference to using “you”. But could you explain where I go sixth grade on “everyone” in my response to your post? |

In response to your post. I think that for some, this is a way of venting their past; since they have not been able to get past that point in their life. So this is their personal way of dealing with hate, rejection, misery and anger. and what ever they can do to make others feel the same way as them makes them feel good, or is it that they are Bipolar? I know what you are saying, I have this one forum troll that seems to follow me whenever I decide to post and turn something simple I ask into like me trying to take over the world. But then again I see her posting a lot of negative responses on the forums toward a lot of other posters. Wow she must have a lot of hate inside of her. I just hope that one day she finds her happiness and can move ahead of her past. |

How easy is it for you to be the "fun" parent? I mean, it is easy enough, mentally and physically to see the children once a week and dote on them, laugh and giggle, chill out and play games, go camping or to Six Flags. She is there EVERY day, after school, after work, during dinner, during homework, report card day, sick day, bed time, bath time and any other time with the children when they are having good times or bad. A Mother's influence, good or bad, in the end going to shape a lot of how the children behave and react to what most of us consider to be "mundane" things in life. Understanding is part of my first answer. You, as a father, must strive to do all you can to teach your children right from wrong. The right thing to do here would be to accept the will of the Mother, above all else she deserves as much respect as she can get; Once she sees that you understand where she coming from, things WILL change. Fighting only makes YOU out to be the jerk, the children, no matter how you try, will see this. Who in the situation will have the largest influence in the end over the children? The Mother, because they will see her hurting and angry before they see you. Right or Wrong that is what they will see, and that is wrong. This is so right on I can't even stand it.... BRAVO!!!! I told my ex one night, listen... you pick on me for all that you think I DON'T DO..... when are you ever going to take a look at what I DO EVERY DAY? (This was after him criticizing me for not cutting our son's fingernails as short or as often as he'd like. Dude, I care about homework and bathing, he can have Snoop Dogg nails for all I care!!!) The point is, there are two sides to every story. Don't just look at yours. The other thing I'd like to add is that residential parent's don't usually have much money left over for fun stuff, after doctors and daycare and grocery bills, sporting equipment/fees, lunch money, and stuff is paid for. I'm lucky to swing a matinee... And the "non residential" parent has all this make believe money? I am not sure of the agreement or arrangements you made in your divorce, But We split the bills,except for her rent,utilities ect. My insurance is primary on our sons. And to top that off; Yes I pay child support on top of that. "The point is, there are two sides to every story. Don't just look at yours. " I had to drag this down here, Your have a valid point, But unlike you claim that I tend to be looking upon "just mine", I unlike you dont hold hate or resentment towards my past. Just as I have said my sons have asked me for more time, and as well they have asked thier mom since "they know that she doesn't like to spend time with them" which comes from thier mouths. If I must place this fact in here. |

"The short answer is yes to both..."
Which I can agree with you on that. "One thing you should try to do is look at the situation from the Mother's perspective. She is there, in her mind she did not leave, YOU did; Regardless of how this transpired. How easy is it for you to be the "fun" parent? " Your right on maybe the first sentence. But that is the problem in todays society, "push the blame towards others" and pretend we we right from the start. "She is there EVERY day, after school, after work, during dinner, during homework, report card day, sick day, bed time, bath time and any other time with the children when they are having good times or bad." This one I can say you are wrong on, since the reason being is that "mom" is not there; She shows up an hour or so before bed time. that is why they want to spend more time here. And this is why I posted this. "Understanding is part of my first answer. You, as a father, must strive to do all you can to teach your children right from wrong. The right thing to do here would be to accept the will of the Mother, above all else she deserves as much respect as she can get; Once she sees that you understand where she coming from, things WILL change. Fighting only makes YOU out to be the jerk, the children, no matter how you try, will see this." I dont personally recall saying that I confront her in front of our children, nor do I recall saying that we fight in front of them or even fight at all. I try to work with her and I don't bad mouth her as well.(not to say she wouldn't deserve it) "Who in the situation will have the largest influence in the end over the children? The Mother, because they will see her hurting and angry before they see you. Right or Wrong that is what they will see, and that is wrong." Not always is this the situation; not all children have been raised with blinders on. Durring my marriage, our children were taught to look at both sides, giving them the option choice. finding out right from wrong and how decisions can effect the outcome. |

Thank you to all ...
I for one will NOT re-marry her... for reasons not to be said.(I had to edit), I hope you are joking.. My sons have informed the GC at school and child services about what is going on, but nothing is being done. (there are reasons for child services to be involved) And going to court just seems to makes the judge turn his ear's away from the matters. Which makes it hard on me since my sons are not of age to have the right to say with who they prefer to live with.(1 more year for my oldest son) The problem with spending time with my sons durring the week is that I work second shift.(she has also told them that I could see them durring the week) If I could go to first with out the difference in pay, and the loss of my position that could be a way of taking care of that.(state of the economy has factors in this as well) |

Hello and good day to all. I would like to take the time to ask a question about "spending time" with your children. As for me I am a divorced father with two children that I (thru court) see every other weekend (which is hard) for the last three years. Now with that lil info; my question is for those that have full time parenting rights. and also for those of us who don't. O.K, my sons want to spend more time with me and that means on the "off" weekends which I am more than willing to do. Now the problem is that "mom" does not want them to come here since she claims she wants to spend time with them as well.but on those weekends she has them, she doesn't do anything with them. She will take them to places and leave them alone for hours; or when she is at her "boyfriends" home; they (my sons) do not see mom until she is ready to go home. Dont get me wrong, every once in a blue moon she will play a game that only last a half hour with them; when they are with me I take the time to talk with them and play video games and or watch them. I know that you can say to me "since you only have them on certain weekends" that I do try to do as much with them, but you would be wrong. When I was married I spent a lot of time doing stuff with my sons just as I do now. So my question is... What do you consider spending time with your chlidren? knowing that they are somewhere around you, or taking time to be in the child life and doing things with them? I ask this since I want to understand the logic behind not allowing children to spend more time with someone who wants to take the time to do things with the children? |

.I would have to say no. I look at it like a period of my life that I was able to spend with someone that I really cared for; other than being alone.

Hi,
Well; I would be more apt to say that a 5 or 6 year old computer has seen better days. Probably time to replace it since it will be very hard to find parts even to upgrade it and it would be more than a waste of money. You can go and get those free spyware removal tools for your computer, but be certain you know what you are doing so you don’t delete certain registry items by mistake. Especially if you get "super antispyware" since it has a tendency to remove some registry items that are needed. If you decide to keep the computer you have maybe find an external HD (hard drive) to save programs and items that you want. Then reformat your hard drive. If you decide to do a format of your HD, do a complete format in which it deletes everything since some spyware can hide in your memory. |
