Out of order. I'll show YOU "out of order"! You don't know what "out of order" is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too ####### blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do ya think you're talking to? I've been around, ya know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these. Their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit. There's no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot solder back home to Oregon with tail between his legs, but I say you are executing his SOUL! And why? Because he's not a Baird man. Baird men. You hurt this boy, you're gonna be Baird bums, the lot of ya. And Harry, Jimmy, Trent, wherever you are, #### you too!

Seems to be missing Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls

 
Some old dude that parks a kettle corn oven/tent in front of the court house here once a week just told me he makes between $500 and $700 bucks each outing.  Seriously, that stuff is vile.  How is anyone eating it at all, let alone willing to hand over five bucks a bag(ten for the large ones)?

It appears I need to invest in some 100-year-old cooking oil and a giant cauldron.  Apparently rednecks think this stuff is freaking ambrosia.

I'd gladly pay $5 for a bag of kettle corn right now

Replied to ex's attorney with the terms the ex and I had worked out over the last few months. Four days later her attorney replied with the request for financial discovery and nothing related to what I sent. 

So guess who just shelled out many thousands more in lawyer fees?  #### this, he can deal with it on my behalf.  Hooray for attorneys!

profit?

i'm doing life wrong

 
I don't think I've ever bought kettle corn in my life.  I've had it but never bought it.   Probably never will.

I seem to remember telling you that informal negotiations would just establish a baseline of what you were willing to give up, and that she would then take that to a lawyer who would use it as a starting point for negotiations.  Maybe I'm thinking of someone else, but I remember thinking at the time that working with your ex to hash things out directly was a bad idea.

Don't try to do anything else involving your children or your divorce without an attorney.   It will just make it worse.   Every time I know someone that ignores this advice, they end up shelling out tens of thousands of dollars more than they should, losing their kids and ending up in fights that last for years.

Lawyer up then mediate a settlement.   You need to find some leverage, as well.

Sorry for the complete lack of empathy in this post, but I'm a lawyer.  I don't have a heart--not even a cow heart, like HF.

Yeah, I don't think this is going to be very Oktoberfest.  Something something hath no furry something scorn.

Yes indeed.  We were going to lay out the parameters and then have someone write it up. But that isn't very profitable for the legal profession so instead we laid out all the parameters over a few months and then had an attorney (hers) #### on it for $350/hour. 

Lawyers will be handling it now and my extreme generosity is the first thing that's been removed from the discussion. 

Also, #######s that put their laptop bags in the above storage space on full flights are worse than whatever melon it is we hate this week. 

 
My ex and I used the same lawyer, spent $550 total, easy peasy. Of course, she had Husband 3.0 all teed up, and I just wanted as far away as possible.

where do you fall on kettle corn?  I never really liked the taste compared to regular with butter or caramel, but i can understand the appeal. 

 
Got a call from school social worker today. My 8 yo daughter was at recess and one of her girl friends was tickling a boy (under arms). My daughter joins in tickling same boy in the stomach and accidentally touches him in the penis. The social worker explained that it's not ok to tickle people outside your family. 

Not really sure how this conversation will go with her tonight. I mean obviously we aren't mad and won't make her feel badly at all.

She's either tickling a LONG WAY under the arms or that boy REALLY enjoyed the tickling.

Ok, when my sister, i believed emailed/called the school they said they do have the right. She  is meeting with the principal and will ask where it is their policy as it  was implied that this was ok.

Local high school administration here also goes over how "we have the right to look through your phone if we feel the need to" during every beginning-of-the-year class meeting. I, for one, am shocked to find that they're full of ####.

You mean accidentally touches him in the groin area? He had his pants on, right?

$2500 using same lawyer and a total of 3 months time.  But the hate was strong and growing and we both wanted away without harming the kids. Lawyers for each would have ruined that.

Should clarify that I filed an uncontested divorce with my attorney. She agreed not to hire one.  Had to have her sign off on this. But I set her up very very well.

Seriously, I mean, the kid is 8. Unless he's Ron Jeremy Jr, he's probably only sporting an inch. Unless she was intentionally going for it, it seems unlikely that she actually touched his junk.

I'm poor at notebooking so apologies for not knowing, but why is there a social worker at her school?
Click to expand...
I don't know. That's how she introduced herself. It's an upper-middle class district so...extra money?

Kid told the teacher at recess. Teacher asked all 3 to go see 'Mrs Anderson.'  They go to her office, she talks to them, then calls us and then my daughter gets home I said 'honey, I need to talk with you for a minute.'  She says 'Yeah, I know. Mrs Anderson said I should talk to my parents.'  

Her and I talk, she's calm and not freaked out, I'm calm (inside I'm thinking this is a huge overreaction but whatever). 

She says 'Well I was worried you'd be mad.'  

'No honey. It was an accident. People are just very careful and cautious when things like this happen. It's not a big deal.  By the way, what does mrs anderson do at the school?'

'Oh she deals with harassment and bullying and stuff like that.'

:shrug:
