Sorry, we're closed. Under new management.

Alabama...was COLD. Brrrr. Jeff...I DID try pickled okra and sweet tea but was reluctant to eat moonpies. LOL. The main joke was about AL red clay.

STBXW threatened me with calling the police when I returned home and came upstairs to unpack and go to sleep. She was sleeping in the bed when it was my week in the MBR. I went downstairs to the couch after her threat.

Not much to add. Spoke with my L. I DO trust her. I DO believe she knows what she is doing (doing matrimonial for 35 years, keeps on top of all new rulings, spoke on radio, defends mostly men, nickname is 'the barracuda'). Unfortunately, NYS is not much different from AL: "the kids are better off with mommy."

FIB - define cold. Is that like below 50 degrees for you? lol I've ridden horse in AL and got a sunburn and then had to cover it up with downfilled parkas! Someone got me one of those red clay tshirts - Alabama dirt shirt.
I've been on Long Island too in a winter parka.

Although your life is not easy street at this point I think you could help yourself a little by thinking more about what will be good in your life to come rather than dwelling on negatives. Yes, I do know how hard that is.
PMA. Please?

WCW..that's a deal..PMA. Cold? I think Montgomery was in the late 40's lol. Not cold by Long Island terms but in the south I was surprised.

Last week, our son asked me to see if we could connect his XBox to the internet to play against his friends (XBox Live). We read the manuals. I have an unused router upstairs. We did it together while I taught him about routers, internet, connections , etc. Later that evening, in front of the kids, STBXW asked me what a TV was doing up in the office (our old 1993 TV)? She created a scene when told about our project. She told S9 'No...this wasn't discussed with me' and crushed our son. She blamed her response to him on me....that not talking about it with her was wrong.

Today, my son told my STBXW to "stop ordering him around".

I don't bask in this...I'm just sad that she can't "see it". What others have said here about shooting oneself in the foot, I think, is starting to show signs of occurring.

To all....this Thursday, Dec. 03, is the first date of trial. This has been thrust upon me. Not even sure HOW we are going to pay for this. I"m sure there will be some pre-trial stuff where the judge urges a resolution beforehand. Knowing STBXW, she has dragged out ALL prior legal things, will not listen to any judge and push this thru. I will do my best to keep my head up, stay cool and present things honestly without malice. Sadly, the system is stacked against me and I'm SURE my STBXW is going to try and shred me in front of the court AND she will have her whole family there including (I bet), her brother in his robes.

Thanks for all your support through the years. FIB

thanks all. Thank goodness for my blog here. Head up. Shoulders up.

My atty is so on the ball. She called me to just prep a bit. She told me a judge recently ordered joint custody in NY when only sole can be awarded. It was appealed and his order was upheld. It may be a precedent. We'll see.

I found all of you in July '06. Filed in Dec. 07. Finality is here. Such a long road it's been. Will update. Crap. Should probably Twitter. LOL. NOT.
