You know, the more you go on about the girlfriend, the more you begin to sound like there's a lot more going on in your head than just the well-being of your child. Of course I don't know any of you, but I've seen a lot of situations like this and it does very often come down to the fact that...

I understand that I don't know you personally, so please don't think I'm saying that this is specific to your case, but I think you would be surprised to learn the things that can be unconsciously telegraphed to children by their parents and then repeated by the child as their own wishes, driven...

Baton Rouge literally means "red stick". That's what he was referring to.

This is so very sad. I understand from personal experience that losing your child, no matter what their age, is the most devastating experience a parent can have, but it's hard to fathom losing one at that young age from something that started out as simply as a case of the flu.

We don't use our Mental Health thread very much any more, but I am definitely in need of it today. We just had an employee pass away of terminal cancer - only about a month after her original diagnosis. She was in her early 30's with a husband and small child. I didn't know her well, but she was...

OMG, a person after my own heart. I'm a voracious reader of many types of books & genres, but Terry Pratchett's work, especially the Discworld series, is my all-time favorite! :)

Great, now I've got that song stuck in my head! :p

I just did a quick Google search and this is what I found: Child Support Liens in Texas It sounds to me like you can do it yourself in Texas but it also states that the law is very technical and can be complicated and that you should contact an attorney to make sure you're doing it absolutely...

I agree with cbg and txls. Also, I don't think there is anything to gain from avoiding speaking to the manager, even though you will be reiterating what you already told your office manager. At least then the manager will hear it directly from you. It may not change the fact of the write-up, but...

Agreed. There's no rule that says that birthdays can only be celebrated on the exact date. In fact, I remember often having my kids' parties on different dates than their actual birthday, and that seems to be how it almost always works out for my grandkids. The kids have never minded, as long...

Quite honestly, if someone were applying for a job with my company and you, as a complete stranger, came to me with all of this information that you say you have on the applicant, I would probably be more suspicious of you than her, because it sounds to me like you have a very personal ax to...

I agree with txls. I am a notary in Alaska and do the same thing.

We switched phone companies several years ago, and they had the same sort of deal going on to attract new customers. They said they would pay off the contract with the old carrier, up to a certain dollar limit. They never said they would pay it directly to the carrier, or for any amount over the...

Which will be when she turns 18, which according to your original post will not be for nearly another year and a half: "She will be 17 in April 2018". So it looks like you're on the hook to support her until April 2019, when she turns 18, whether or not she's living with you. Whether or not she...

I think she was asking that if she sued her mom, would her mom go to jail. She obviously doesn't understand how lawsuits work.

I just talked to a new employee and asked her if she was going to be enrolling in our insurance coverage, and she said she won't be, because she's already on her husband's plan and it only has a $300 deductible. I didn't know there were any plans out there that were still that low! At my...

We have a supplemental benefits plan that's similar to the duck but our agent for that plan works closely with our life & health agent so when our plan was set up everything was done to coincide with the Section 125 plan year and OE for our medical. Makes it much easier administratively. I do...

No one here ever said they were perfect. I know I'm not and I know I will never be. However, I can tell you one thing, in my entire life I have never once taken money that didn't belong to me or even thought about it. Stupid mistakes, yeah, I've made plenty of those, but never anything even...

What college student wouldn't take the money out? Really?! I can think of any number of college students, past and present, who it would never occur to! Most people have the good sense to know that if a bank error occurs you should let the bank know immediately. Why anyone would think otherwise...

My late ex-husband changed his will completely not long before he died and then, rather than sending copies to his executor, he stashed them in his house for my son to have to dig for after his dad died. Mind you, my ex knew he likely didn't have long to live and the easiest & smartest thing...
