Jazzygirl

Patty, Susan, everyone having a tough time around these holidays with sad news, hugs sister.

Have we heard from Rosevalley lately? Thinking of you too sister.....

Jwoo- 2015 has been a weird year for me. Ready for a new one. Years that end in 6 often are good ones for me thinking back through the years. I am ready.

Good Morning oOwlettes

Hopefully, I am not like this all day

Loveroflife

Hi there JWoo. Happy New Year to you too.

MammaRay, FF is right....Romans 8:38

Susan, your friend sounded like a very special person not only to you, but to your DD also. What a blessing to have had someone like that in your life to help shape who you are.

Ms. Sas, don't crash! You always "write a book" after A short time of silence.

Our dear Rose is struggling (understatement).

MammaRay: Oh, bleep. Hoping you're tucked up in bed sleeping, rather than whizzing around catching up on all the nasty tasks you put off and off and off and off. (Yeah, steroids take me that way too.

Jazzygirl

MammaRay- don't worry about scrolling back, too much to read there! I just hop on and go, when I have been off for awhile.

This thread is like watching a soap opera, you don't need to be away too long to figure out the new plot with many of the same characters when you come here again. As the thread turns.....

Love my Insomniacs!

PattyPeppermint

jazzy. Glad you are home

Hugs all around

Hootie hoo

sas-schatzi

Mamma, Jazzy's right of course. You have enough to deal with. We just yak away. Don't worry your pretty little head abut this stuff.

Loveroflife

Yeah, MammaRay don't feel bad about catching up. You will get confused by the time you are done. Spend your excess energy cleaning or doing somethingproductive.

Jazzygirl

Patty- thank you! Working from home today. You feeling okay today?

Wren44

Mammaray, That is really too bad. It would be so nice if they could be together. A friend adopted 3 little kids, then found out they had an older brother. She made waves until they let her have him also. It would be nice if they could at least have some sort of relationship in the future. Hugs.

Jazzy - What A Hoot - As the Thread Turns

Jwoo - so good to hear from you. On to 2016.

MammaRay - Oh that is so hard and how I feel for you. Agree with Wren in hoping they can have a relationship. Is it an open adoption (hoping yes)? (((Big Hugs))) coming your way. Just feel your way along with your family. When the time comes to tell them you will know it. Meantime taking care of yourself is 1st priority.

Deb - will be in your pocket for Tuesday.

I am officially tired of being cold. We had sun for a bit and now its gone again. Come back please. Temp is down to 48. I know nothing compared to others nastiness. Doing nothing for NYE here. Making a chicken stir fry and watching DH snore. At least there is a hockey game on. Challenger the Free Flying eagle is flying at the start of the National Anthem at the Cotton Bowl. Hopefully will get to see it but you know network coverage.

Spookiesmom

Will be quiet here, just me and the dogs. I don't have a tv. DAH is up north for the funeral.

Spookiesmom

sas-schatzi

Spookie, okay I missed that. Funeral? Condolences? Sorry, you're by yourself. Did DD go with DAH?

Lilgoats, Ya'll come on down, 86*. We can get Spookie and maybe Glennie and have a partyin' time. Pools heated. Not kidding. Smarrty talked of coming some time in 2016. We could make a plan. I have beds for 5 and couches for 3 more. I could kick Donnie out for a whatever time.

Just got a dinner invite BBL

Spookiesmom

DAH youngest bro, 56yo, found dead in recliner Dec 23, by wife. They were separated. Think he died Dec 21. Defiantly alcohol, possible cardiac or kidney issues

Jazzygirl

Spookie- that is sad news about the loss in your family. My condolences. Spookie will keep you good company tonight.

luvmygoats

Aw Spookie. I'm so sorry for you and your DH. Spend some snuggle time with Kris and Spookie.

mostlymom

Happy New Year! 2016 - Hard to believe.... May the new year bring happiness & health to all my sisters.

Bless you all for helping me through another year. I lurk every day and love you all.

We're both (DH & I) sitting here tapping away on our puters while DD is making a grocery & library run. DS was here for Christmas from Alaska - he certainly brought cheer for the season.

Love, Martha

sas-schatzi

MM glad the son brought cheer.

Spookie, condolences. Maybe DAH will straighten up.

I am back into a self created drama. Outcome unknown. During a lovely dinner. Donnie's daughter called. They connected today earlier. He's had 4 phones this year--4 numbers. When the kids had his phone number they would call on pay day. "Hi dad, blah,blah,blah...Can you send some money.

He's way into the indentured servitude to the Florida Department of Child Services. Around 39,000. At it's highest it was above 48,000. Not that he didn't pay. 30,000 was for handling charges by DCS. The back award for child support that is allowed by law is 24 months. Doesn't matter what the divorce agreement says i.e no child support. He kept two, she kept one. She filed for child support. He was not aware. When you don't show up in court . No one challenged her truthfulness. Law allowed her to ask for 18000$. She was awarded that based on two kids. One she didn't have custody of and he was 3 months away from 18. He should have been taken off the the record at 18 and it adjusted for direct support. Not done. He was 30 when I came into the seen. I worked very hard to get things right. Wrong, I made it worse. I got him a lawyer that was a schmuck. That was only known retrospectively.

The day My son the lawyer said to me the law doesn't care about justice, it cares about who showed up. I died a little.

They Department of Children Services didn't follow the Statutory law(legislative law) or Regulatory Law(administrative established by the administrative statutory law).any where along the line. I've read them and looked at what was done. As a non lawyer I got them to change the money taking. That indicated that it should have been done long ago, had they followed their own rules.

Then each kid bleeds him weekly. 32, 27, 20. It stopped when he kept loosing or breaking phones. It starts again the day before Christmas because I teach him how to find them on FB. Well, that was stupid wasn't it.

He comes back from the phone call at dinner. I ask "Did she ask for money?" His look tells me she did. I say " She's a leach" Tada. He walks out of the dinner. Was wonderful till that point. Retrospectively, bad words. Concept was right. Do I feel anguish, angst. regret. No.

So, dunno....................

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Loveroflife

Blah!! Ms. Sas, sometimes the truth is hard to swallow.

Jazzygirl

sas-schatzi

Loverly, which truth......probably the first was---I shouldn't have called her a leach, but what is the next truth?

Loveroflife

Yes, calling his daughter a leech, even though it's the truth, probably was piercing. It's easyto get defensive/protective of family.

kathindc

Sas, don't think about it anymore. You spoke the truth about DBF's daughter. She is a leach. I'm sure he did the best he could raising the two he had. Unfortunately children do not come out of the womb holding a user's manual. Why they hold such sway over him, only he can figure that out and until he does and cuts the umbilical cord things will remain the same. Definitely sounds like some counseling is in order.

Loveroflife

Jazzy, you are not out dancing the night away?

Ms. Spookie, what a horrible way for the SIL to find her husband.

Hello Mostlymom! So you hide behind the scene most of the time like Mema and Eeyore and maybe TeKa and who else

We went to dinner with my BIL and his family. Good Thai food. I'm still full and we finished dinner two hours ago! Nieces and nephew are here playing Apples to Apples with my two kids. I am surprised Mitzy is able to sleep through the noise and laughter as she is usually very nervous around noisy children. Wonder how she will do when our neighbors set off the fireworks.
