hope things work out for you.

Thanks

No problem Hon. I know all about dealing with exes.

You worry about that for now. I always have SOMETHING hatching if you decide you need birds later

Thanks. I plan on getting more, Motorcyclechick "convinced" me "Gavin" needs more. lol

I just don't get it. The paternal bio-material-donor (I'm being as nice as I can) doesn't see, ask to see or even ask about Gavin for 3.5 yrs, then files for primary custody (receives joint legal and visitation), sees Gavin for less than 1.5 yrs, then VOLUNTARILY stops visitation. Now that things are finally falling into place on my end (and it's been over 2 yrs since he saw/had ANY contact with Gavin) he sends me a friend request on facebook (I blocked him). I just have a sinking feeling he's going to want to see Gavin again and that's going to foul up the 6 mos required for abandonment (if the bugger won't sign off when we file for my fiance to adopt Gavin). Gavin doesn't want to see him (hasn't for nearly 2 years) and wants to have my fiance's last name, and don't get me started on the counseling so Gavin no longer thought it was his fault.

It would be mildly understandable if he lived on the other side of the state or even out of state, and at least asked about Gavin. But he lives an hour away, and there's no communication of any kind from him, until this crud tonight. I need to talk to my lawyer and find out IF we can begin the adoption process as soon as my fiance gets home, or if we need to wait until we're married.

Sorry for the rant/back story, I just don't want anyone thinking I'm one of those parent's that prevents the visitations. If he would have stayed in Gavin's life I'd feel differently (I was very open, [honestly happy at the time] to him being involved and very accommodating as far as pick ups, drop offs, and all that stuff), but I refuse to have my son played with and hurt by a supposed adult. I'm in full blown momma bear mode because of this

.

Again sorry for the airing of laundry but this is one of those things I need to vent about, even if it's to people I haven't met (minus 3). And of course my family is visiting NH for my one cousin's graduation, so only one here is Gavin and I can't rant to him, it wouldn't be right.

I think I'll watch Predator, Predator 2, or Predators to calm down......ah calming down just thinking of it.
Yay, my sense of humor is returning to it's deranged self.

I'm not much of a zombie fan (except Resident Evil) but I thought this was funny.


Gavin asked a guy at Weis this about eggs the other day. It was hilarious, the poor guy had no clue how to answer.

did you hear about the big tanker truck that caught fire on 322/80, north/south it was on an over pass/exit. Huge fire...I wonder if it damaged the concrete, if the overpass is damaged structurally....Hey , seriously...when we go to visit family Lanc. Co., there is usually an opportunity to send birdies along...just putting it out there

Major structural damage. Roads in that area will be a mess for months.

My Patches wiggled out of her wrap during the night. Luckily she knows not to run around alot in her pen! So I let her out of it until about 30 mins ago? I let her in the tub so she could clean any poo on her feathers and stretch. I got more wrap 7 dollars and change for a 4 or 5 pack (I can't remember and I just had it!) She is now dressed in blue camo! I did a different method of wrapping where her wings are allowed to move. I will get pictures eventually. My allergies just LOVE me this year! Went to the store with red poofy watery eyes. Probably thought I got into that green plant and decided the store was a good place to be! My Cat went to the vet yest. and she is having an issue with all the pollen in the air as well, its irritating her throat/ breathing ways and its causing her to cough a lot. So we are both on benadryl.. and we both have asthma.. How about that one....

oh yuck! Allergies! I have one kid on Zyrtek and one on Allegra. DD#2 tells me that she found out about some miracle allergy medicine where you put 2 drops under your tongue? She's got the name written down somewhere, I'll post when I get it. Feel better!

Overpass 22/322 W over 81 the subfloor and rebar in the concrete melted. The concrete combusted. Burned for over 45 minutes. The overpass above that was damaged by the intense heat below and the jumping flames. Both bridges will have to be removed and replaced. 81 is closed until they can safely remove the spans. They are estimating at least 3 months before the repairs will be completed. If you are heading north on 81 you must exit at 581 and take that over to 83 to head north again on 83. If you are headed south, those spans were already the bypass to Front street (bridge is not safe going into Harrisburg.). You know it's bad when the Turnpike is free between Carlisle (where we live) and Harrisburg (where DH works). A normally 45 minute drive took him 1 1/2 hours yesterday, and he was one of the lucky ones. Governor also let the state employees leave early 2 hours yesterday to ease up on rush hour.

Don't apologize. Sometimes talking to the imaginary people inside your computer is the best therapy, as we are not emotionally involved, and don't make judgements.

LMAO...the guy @ Weiss probably believes the same thing my mother does, that the eggs magically appear behind the display and are put in cartons and shoved out on the display.

Says the woman falling in love with Lavenders (an easy find) as soon as she finds buffs! One look at a Barred Rock. You'll want those too!

Yeah, another sexlink type - more Leghorn like.

Hmm, really going to have to plan this going BIGGER thing out right

. In all seriousness, there are just so many great birds out there. I just have to stay focused on the ones I am "into" now, keep a list of the ones I'd like to learn more about & try not to get too ahead of myself. I am loving the Wyandottes I have, they are wonderful, working on Orps. so I think that will be good for awhile

Thank you for the road info. Missy...what a MESS!!!

Well, there goes the 3 1/2 hour ride to Lac. Co...now it will be like 4-5

Thank you....

Please, don't ever lose your scence of humor. I swear it(humor) & Todd are the only reasons why I am still walking around! He is a funny guy!

I hope this will quietly blow over smoothly for you & you son

 

[Blarneyeggs]

Now I feel even worse about this...and I'm beyond sorry to anyone who was hoping I'd take some girls. Something came up (custody crap) and I won't be able to take in any new girls until I've seen a lawyer, paid all the fees ect. I want to make sure things a financially stable again before I bring any new girls home. Again I'm sorry, hopefully this crud won't take too long or too much.

Hang in there, we are all routing for you and Gavin.
