Hey all! I'm at work. Woo!

Shel, I hope you don't have to drive back by yourself!

I keep losing internet. The router box downstairs has a loose connection and I've been down there 4 times already today to fiddle with it. And I'm still fighting off this bug.

Y&R is on now, looking good again! I better not try recapping because I could lose it all in a flash. But I'm around.

I'll have my so pick up a new thingy box tomorrow - he has to go to the store anyway for something else. I can always access from husband's computer, but I don't like his think pad at all.

Hey, Shelly - Sharon and Noah are going to stay with Jack! But Ashley is leaving to go back to LA. I was kind of hoping, since LML is gone, ED might be back permanently, but she just said she was leaving to go "home".

Aw, Shelly, I'm so sorry about the disappointment with Vinnie's early departure! What a shame, but that's life, huh? If you feel like taking a LARGE detour, you could always pop by here for a few days. I could give you expert snowman-making lessons, lol. (Not something I'd especially happy about knowing, but hey, I'm a Canuck, after all.)

Yeah I figure I'm a bit too far South for your path.

Still sick... I thought this wretched, mutant whatever-it-is had turned around, but I began sneezing nonstop yesterday, and woke up this morning feeling miserable again.

Happy New Year to me!!!

Moore, we probably have the same strain of flu/cold/yucks because I was so sure last night that I'd be up and attem today, but nope. Still house bound with zero energy.

Shelly, LML's last episode aired December 24. There hasn't been an official announcement that I could find, but the scuttlebutt has it that she is gone for good. The writers' strike probably has something to do with the lack of announcement. All I know is that Y&R seems to be pretty good again.

Jessica you are lucky to receive child support! I am supposed to be getting it from Ryan's dad, but he's so far behind I could have him arrested. He claims he's not working though. So the judge would probably just have the payments stopped.

He lives in Minnesota so it's very hard to find out if he's working or not.

And I'd have to re-hire a lawyer....

Maybe 2008 will be better in that as well.

I have Circle Pine, MN as his address.

Thanks Bran!

I wonder how hard it would be to get his refund this year? He's over $7000 behind

called my lawyer, I'm going in on Jan 23 for that


I checked my records, he's $10,000 behind!!

wow, this board is a little treasure trove of where to look for child support. I am glad to hear that for the most part internet makes things a little easier. You should try to get whatever money you can though. All three of us are grown but since my dad was so behind my mom is still getting some money.

Well, if he files any sort of return the Department of Treasury should go after it. We usually get a nice little check every October from Cody's sperm donor. We also got his state taxes before we got ours last year. You have to love that. We checked with our child support agency here in town and found out that the evil one's not getting a dime of Floyd's tax check this year and we've started filing for visitation to the little boy. We're also going to sue for breach of contract because there is a line on the Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity that states that she is certain of the paternity of the father. She signed right beneath that. That was obviously a lie. So even though he's not the father and even though that doesn't matter and he'll have to pay child support untilt he child is 18 our lawyer thinks that we can sue her for the same amount he'll have to pay and all back support because she falsified a government document. Funny thing is that our lawyer didn't even think of it until I brought it up.

He hasn't found any other case that has used this approach and if it is successful we could set a precedent. So wish us luck. Oh we also reported her to the state for fraud with public aid because she used the Department of Public Aid to pursue him for child support after she had told him he was not the father. Things seem to finally be looking up in the case.

So how did you find him there, because I wouldn't mind tracking down Cody's father. Well then again maybe not. I'm considering going after him for more money because I hear he's making a lot up at some place around where you live. Now if I were to file for more money and he didn't show up for the court date, it's a slam dunk win. I also hear though that he wouldn't show up no matter what because he and his wife both have warrants for bad checks in this county so they wouldn't show up no matter how much I asked for.
