For me and my house? I think we will probably stay at home, tucked in all cozy and warm OR go to our son and DIL's house. Depending on what they are planning on doing. We used to be a BIG party family but things have *calmed down considerably* My hubby may have a few beers on occasion and I don't think I have had a drink since we moved down here three years ago in May. But I can re-call back in the day-------------- some really bad :-Xhang-overs  I think I prefer the last three years though.  |

;D LOL Surfrgirl...don't remind me! Since I'll be working New Years Day, I guess it'll be off to bed as usual, on New Years Eve. Wish I had a job that would allow me to stay up late and ring in the new year... Hoping you and your family and all the others on the boards have a great New Years Eve! ;D |

31 December 2003 Wednesday Hi. I will probably still be somewhat upset and angry. And like you, an ice cold beer sounds nice, But just a couple. You be safe, too. Yeah, me, I've gotta drink my ex out of my mind for a day or two. I can't believe he didn't get the kids anything, nothing, zero for Christmas after promising them he would. Instead, he felt it more important that he pay the deposit on the power to be turned on for the new place he is moving to. Now tell me that couldn't have waited until this week or next week?.... I would like to comment on our child support system in Cherokee County, SC. My ex-husband and I went to court last April (2002) because he is constantly behind on his child support. And the court stated then that if he got behind again, missed a payment, or just didn't pay, they would pick him up for 'contempt of court'. They haven't picked him up yet and this is December 31, 2003, and he is still behind. When I ask the Clerk of Court and/or Child Support Enforcement about it, they just tell me that IF he's "attempting" to pay that the judge doesn't like to rule them into court. BUT he's NOT ATTEMPTING to pay. It was even being garnished from his pay by his employer, yeah right. They couldn't even get that right. Is there anyone out there that can help me? I believe I've exhausted all my options here, because they won't do anything here. The court system will continue to let him manipulate them for as long as he can or until he gets so far behind that he really can't pay, and then what??? Why not nip it in the bud not before it get too late. Why not make an example of him for others to get the point across? Why does our system just sit there and do nothing?.....  |

;D For all who are interested??? The above post IS NOT mine! I think the poster (I hope) the poster was just confused about how to go about posting. Is this Teresa? I am really sorry to hear about your troubles with your Ex, but, from the sound of it glad that you can call him your EX. I sure hope your kids had others that made sure they had a nice Christmas. After all Christmas IS for kids and I have never understood how an adult can allow their childen to go with out while they go their merry way. I would not tell you what to do but just a suggestion and that is " drinking him out of your mind will not help the kids any either" I really can't speak intelligently about the child support system here or anywhere for that matter, Thank goodness I was never involved in anything to do with them. But, I do know that the foster care system sucks, almost every where. The only thing I would say to you is what I would do, I would bug them so that, when the judge came down for breakfast each morning the first thing he would ask his wife is "Have we heard from***** my first name) this morning? I would definately be on a first name basis with him. He would be so tired of hearing from me and the sound of my voice he would do something about the situation. I hope the New Year goes well for you and, the situation gets resolved for the good of the children. Happy New Year For future reference you should NOT use your *real* name but a screen name. That way you can feel free to talk about most anything anonymously and that way you can have many friends who will listen when you feel the need to talk. Good Luck |
