I do hope that you and Ms. H can catch up with each other. She's a wonderful lady.
Wow Snodderly! What a nice thing to say, thanks!
As for the snow, most of ours is melted already.
You are all going to laugh when you read what I have to share with you.
My brothers friend, CJ, who serves court papers, went to serve ex his papers.
First he showed up at his and ow's house. He asked for ex and told ow what he was there for and she said that ex wasn't home. CJ said "Well his car is in the driveway". She says "Well I have his car today and he has mine." So CJ says to her "Ok, well what kind of car do you have?" and ow responds, "I don't know, I forgot". LOL CJ then asks when he will be back and she says she doesn't know. Said she was trying to play dumb and was being an ass. So he went to his work instead.
He goes in the office building and sees his Uncle who he works for. He tells Uncle who he is and that he is there to serve ex papers because he is not keeping up with his support responsibilites. Uncle tells him "Well that doesn't surprise me about him. I just try to stay out of it". Uncle also tells him that he just missed ex as he left to go home for the day.
So CJ goes back to their house and now sees ow's car plus his cars. So he knocks on the door and this time a guy answers the door. He claims he is ow's brother and he doesn't know where ex is.
CJ hears my kids in the house and tells him and ow, "look, I know he is in the house. Tell him to come out and be a man for once and take the papers." They again tell him he is not there. CJ tells them "Look, this is EXACTLY why I am here because he is dodging his responsibilites like he is now. If I go away today I am just going to come back here or at his office until I see him and give him his papers. So he might as well take them now". Again, they played dumb.
So CJ is going to try again tomorrow. He said by law that if you attempt to serve someone 3 times and they refuse to be served then you are allowed to tape the papers to the front door and be considered served. So he is probably going to do that tomorrow if he tries to avoid him again.
And if ex doesn't show up to court on March 4 then a warrant will be out for his arrest.
Well, why am I not surprised at him dodging CJ? What an @ss! Too bad the kids didn't call your h by "dad" and then he could have been served. He really doesn't understand what the consequences are of what he's doing. It's not pretty once a warrant is issued for your arrest. As for his uncle, he's smart by staying out of it, but he knows what is going on. I do hope and pray that this issue of support is resolved once and for all.
I hope that you are taking care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Snodderly, an @ss he is. I hope he does show up to court on the 4th of March just so we can get this over with. As it is, I will be missing classes that day to go, I don't need to miss another day to show back up to court. He is wasting my time.
I can't believe he was that much of a wuss. You would think CJ was there with an arrest warrant for goodness sake! He can't run away from his responsibilities forever.
I think it's funny that his uncle now knows what's going on. And he doesn't seem to be surprised by it.
Well heading down to visit my parents for overnight. My dad's sister is down from Mass. visiting them so I would like to be able to go see her since it's been a while.
Ex has been served. It was done at work. CJ, the server, walked into his work and his uncle (also boss) recognized him right away and said "He's right in the back." The back meaning the kitchen. CJ asked "You don't mind me walking back there?" and uncle said, "nope, not at all. Go right ahead". I think his uncle knows what an arse ex is and deserves what he gets.
Ex didn't say anything to me later that night when he drove the boys home. But he did TM me later saying, "I got papers today. Did you really not get those payments?" I wrote back, "Stop playing games. You know damn well I didn't get them. I have been telling you for over 2 months. You left me no choice". I haven't heard from him since.
Also, an update on my dad. Turns out his bad headache, nausea, and dizziness were all from his blood pressure medication. As soon as he stopped taking it, he felt better.
However, the marking on his brain that showed up on the catscan and MRI was from an old stroke he never knew he had. It was on a part of his brain that would not affect the body so he had no symptoms.
He is supposed to be on oxygen too but he is so damn stubborn he doesn't want to take it. My mother is tired of fighting him over it. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it.
I'm glad your xh was finally served. Now, let's see just how long it takes the money to start coming back in. What a piece of work.
It sounds like your father may have had a mini stroke at some point in time. I'm glad he's found out what was causing him to be so ill. Did they change his medication or the doseage?
Your father sounds so much like mine was....stubborn all of the way around.
I hope you have a good weekend.
