Wait a sec, you saw one - remember? and NO, I would absolutely not do that. they aren't here any more - they usually head your way by the end of Feb/beg of March.

my brother from another mother is a jeep enthusiast. we tool around in his whenever we go out as he is far more comfortable driving than being driven. he had a second one which i almost bought from him. I really wish i'd done so. frown

yes.. up in a tree with no camera gear ..lol
cell phone pics on the iPhone aren't the best. So until i capture one in flight with full wing span.. I don't count them. Snow owls and hawks.. those I have way too many.

Never too late to buy a Jeep. I hear many used ones are being bought from Canada because of the high american dollar.

hah well ya have to be picky, eh?

I have no, none, zero, nada snowy owls EVER.

Just. Saying.

I'm contemplating a Volvo C30 manual transmission as my next car. I will keep the V70R for fun and the C30 as the daily driver. I have one in my sites now, but ... not sure the timing is quite right.

You are the jeep guy. I'm the rare volvo gal. I did want my bro's jeep tho and had visions of clearing driveways with it. I know. I just saw you cringe. I'm sorry.

(oh, and i do want a range rover, but with a lioness on the roof, ala Elsa in Born Free. I quite fancy a screaming yellow Defender, but they are cost prohibitive)

I meant credit for using the new place as a door opener and informing the girls. She could have said nothing. She is still trying is my point.

Hi Roist

Yes in a logical and rational way I see that.

Her reason for doing it is to save paying out money and her boyfriend can claim more social assistance without her salary in that household. That's illogical in a normal world. In mlc land it's thinking they will cheat the system and walk away with more $$

The right thing would of been getting an appartement in our town , close to the kids so they can go over.

Her scheme to save 40$ a month in child support to me is a joke. It will cost her more in rent alone.

Anyway, I like your positive views on it but I see what's in front of me and so far it's still all about her. This time saving child support. It's not a step closer to the girls.

I get you. Trust me I do. I do tend to seek out that positive part and give it a little boost. This is moreso to be sure it doesn't go unnoticed and not to weigh it up against the negative.

I am sure that you are right about her motives and the likelihood that it is not logical financially. But did I mention she reached out again!! If she keeps trying eventually she will dig deeper and get an opening with the girls. Neither are ready for that yet but this is paving the way. It isn't even a foundation to build on yet, but more like a sketch of a future foundation.

Best wishes Irish.

Don't get me wrong. There is nothing more that I'd want than the girls having their mom in their lives as a healthy, loving person.

The girls will one day reach out to her out of curiosity.

Her reaching out is typical with MLC.
Xmas, New Years , Mother's Day, birthdays.

Besides that it's Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.

D14 turns 15 this week. Yes XW will reach out and yes it will be the same message repeating that she is their mom and get over it , i did nothing wrong, I love you more than anything in the world and will do anything for them.

It's nice but it is followed with empty.
