Ahh... Days off are nice. Since I haven't been working the last little
while, I almost miss work. Funny how things work out like that
often...
Hehehe...Any vehicle can be a real pain. My dad gave me an old '89
Taurus
Wagon back in July and it crapped out on me in August. Some grounding
problem that was figured out after a little while. Got it up and
running
again, after a few hundred bucks (I'm so greatful that my dad worked
all
that out since he's the autobody guy and his good friend is a mechanic
that
he actually bought the wagon off of) At the time, I worked as a
partsman at
an auto parts store, so in the end, it was a helluva lot cheaper to fix
than
normal. I was so glad when I got my Volkswagen end of October, but now
there seems to be a belt of some sort that's come loose. Even free for
me
as well, it still costs no matter what! Good luck with fixing yours,
and
shop around if possible! You'll probably find that if it's not one
thing,
it's another, but hopefully that doesn't happen to you.

Crappy jobs is something I'm sure almost everyone has had to deal with,
so
don't worry. It's a job, and it seems it's more of convenience and
what is
making life easier for you, and your family, so that's definitely a
plus.

Yup, almost always it seems like forever to make the most accurate
diagnosis. I know it took me from when I was about 12 until I was
nearly 18
to finally find out what was going on, and to get some sort of
medication
that worked best. Hang in there, it's well worth the time and effort,
and
all you can really do is be as patient as possible and hope for the
best.
Eventually, hopefully sooner than later, you'll see that things are
actually
'normal' and that no one is really crazy or losing their minds. ;)
Also, if you have a daughter that cooks and cleans for you, would you
mind
if I borrowed her for a day or so every week? I can't cook much more
than
what I can make warm in a microwave, and my cleaning often gets so out
of
hand. :( lol

If everything seems to be alright, then don't sweat it. Do what you
have to
do, and do it ONLY for the sake of this child. Don't do it for
yourself and
make sure that what you do isn't hiding anything shelfish. I'm not
saying
that it is, but just ALWAYS think of that baby. I definitely agree
that
dragging everything through the court system is probably best avoided
if
possible. Any hard feelings between family members is definitely not
good.
Being on friendly, happy and good terms is something that is a must.
You
now have, basically, the rest of your life with the other side of the
baby's
family, and that's if you like it or not. Again, just do all you can
for
your grandchild! She deserves a loving, stable family all around! ;)

Any type of dangerous driver would scare me, especailly the father of
my
child or grandchild. Hopefully he can learn to grow up and act more
mature.
I've only had a valid driver's license since I was 16, which is only 6
years
now. I've been in one major accident when a lady ran a red light and
T-boned me. Even though I was cleared and not at fault, I've found I
am
still, to this day, I'm even more cautious of a driver. This accident
was
back end of September in 2002. I just hope for his sake, as well as the
sake
of his family (you and your family included) as well as the sake of the
public he has fianlly learned a lesson. I just hope that it doesn't
take a
serious injury or even worse for him to learn.

Ha! And you already know that this "no!" business never really stops,
right? ;) It's kind of funny and cute to start... But I know with B
it's
starting to become a real issue. lol She sounds like your typical
little
one, and that's good. It's good to see that she's definitely as normal
as
any child can be. lol Just keep doing what you are doing, and do it
all
for her best interest. Try and keep the peace so she doesn't suffer.
Best
of luck to you all!

Meh... I've noticed we all get busy... Sometimes I know I just sort of
disappear and appear when I need to, but I usually find the time to
read, if
not always say hi. Just do your very best. That's all you can and
really
need to do.
