Single Men

[nurse.darcy]

Normally I would go back several pages, read up, and provide a very humorous update, but I just got back from a 4.5 hr drive and don't have the energy so I will just say that I saw a lot of "very freaking cold" in the posts. Listen, I'll trade you. I have had enough desert heat to last me till the next millenium. I want a tropical beach, a mai tai and a good book right now. . .lol.

Since I am sure some of you are just DYING to hear all about my personal life, I will tell you that my final court hearing was today on my son's custody case. . .

To bring some of you up to speed, I was not looking to remove my son from his father's home. My son is happy there cause he has his school, friends and church. But his father thought he could get more money out of me for support if he took me to court. Well, the custody arrangement stays as we had always agreed and the courts have determined that based on my income and his income that I only owe him $50 a month in child support. Considering I already give him more than that, we agreed to set child support through the court at zero. This was the funniest and happiest day of my life. . .lol.

My son is happy, I am happy, Tony is sort of happy (I don't have to pay him a dime, but I do. . .its my son afterall). And the freaking thing is over and not hanging over my head anymore. Maybe I can find my humor again. . .lol.

Congrats Darcy!!! I know how awful dealling with these things can be. Now you can look forward to your December trip without that hanging over your head!

Speaking of that I am also living with a much lighter load on my back. Although I was to be laid off in January my company was offering 200 jobs (to 1200 laid off individuals) in the other factory. I was offered and accepted one of those jobs yesterday! The company is not in great shape but it gives me atleast another 6 to 9 months of job security. Needless to say I am glad that I didnt cancel my trip for December!!!

I am not sure what I am going to do this winter, I just bought a new house and for the first time...it doesn't have a fireplace....

I though Fireplaces were a part of the building code in VT

I just go to my parents when I want a fire - I don't have one either

 

[Ragnrok23]

Mmmm Hockey player.... Ice or Deck???

My litter brother plays, but he never learned how to skate.

Ice- I grew up in building that were freezing cold, so this weather is nothing

I am not sure what I am going to do this winter, I just bought a new house and for the first time...it doesn't have a fireplace....

pay alot of money in heating?

Darcy- glad everything worked out

Fireplaces and Hot Tubs should be a requirement for all VT homes!!!

 

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

Welcome Montreal friend...
I am 2 hours away and many friends of mine will tell you that Montreal is my home. My dad was Canadian (New Brunswick) and I was there for many summers at a time. I also did a semester in Canada for High school.
I really love being in Montreal and I always feel like I'm coming home when I get on the bridge and see the horizon...

 

[Ragnrok23]

everytime I rent a house in NH, they always have both, I just assumed it was the norm?
