Gotta be tough Mark.
Unfortunately, that's all I got for you.

Mark, sorry to hear about the situation with your grandson, he surely doesn't deserve to be exposed to such dysfunction. Hopefully you can counteract the damage done.
Every situation is unique and has it's own challenges, children only add to the trials we face in a divorce. Mine is an unfortunate situation, but I'm ecstatic I no longer have to deal with her and her family's BS. I was miserable for a long time. But c'est la vie.

It's so easy, sometimes, to judge another fellows life and wonder why he isn't "more in control", but realizing you can't control it all and stepping up to do what's right or best is sometimes all you can do...and that can be a lot. It sounds like you're doing it.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

Thanks Mark. I'm certainly not without flaws and I have made my fair share of mistakes, but I do indeed try to do what's best, especially where my daughter is concerned. I also make every attempt to give others a fair shake, that is, unless it's glaringly obvious that they're a moron... or a liberal.

Some use the kids as weapons against their (ex)spouse. How many fps can you get with a kid?

Some use the kids as weapons against their (ex)spouse. How many fps can you get with a kid? Art, Excellent question. It's largely a function of kinetic energy. I estimate that my daughter, at 63 lbs. reached 3 fps, with the force I applied to her in the pool this summer, in order to launch her through the air. I say "estimate" because she was a bit too large to fit through my chronograph, which would have given a far more accurate result. I also launched her towards my brother in the pool this Summer, but we found that the damage inflicted to him was negligible.

Some kids have more inertia than others.

List another state with no income tax, no state sales tax AND an annual per person dividend...
Alaska won't be on that list long.

I love Alaska but I truly believe she is becoming a lost cause. Way too many liberal fuggwads there. And that people that believe otherwise don't get off their ass to vote.
