Message	Find a bakery in a big grocery store that carries fruit danish. See if they will discount day olds or slurge on fresh. tear em up, put them in a bread pan sprayed with non-stick or lightly greased. Beat eggs and cream, add pre mixed cinnamon and sugar and vanilla and pour it over the danishes. stir it just a little and bake it at around 350f. until the egg & cream is solidified. Raisan bread works well too in place of danish. If you actually measure stuff, try it small at first, like 6 danish to 3 eggs and 1/2 C. cream, 1/4 C. sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon and same for vanilla.

Message	Well.. like I said. I had no problem with meeting my obligation and supporting my children... even without a court order. What my painful realization was, in my case... was that I could not afford to get married and support a wife with kids. 1/4 to 1/3 of my net income was going to child support. And my wife had re-married and my kids wanted for nothing. And for me... in my particular case.. there was no way in hell I could afford to support the woman with kids that I met and fell in love with. Some how it just didn't seem fair that my wife could get re-married and live a good life.. and I had no chance in hell to do the same. If you a are a lower income male you have a fat chance on supporting two families... so, don't even fall in love with a woman with kids. Oh well.. water under the bridge. Except.. that I know there are a FEW men today that are in the same position.

Child support in cash for a single parent, be it male or female, that need it is important. But if she or he marries well and does not need it, they should be happy as hell to have the kids father or mother support them with his or her love and presence. That is the richest support of all.

Message	After my divorce... my ex-wife married a Fireman... and they lived in a big, new house. I drove by one time and saw a huge SUV out in front.... and I remember one day bringing over a child support payment... and the inside of the house was beautiful.. and they had a big screen TV. And as I was driving away.. I thought to myself.. "what is wrong with this picture"??.. my wife is living high on the hog and I am struggling to pay my rent and still making child support payments.. it don't seem right. I thought to myself.... my child support payments are going towards paying off her new car, her new house and her big screen TV... And what if I fell in love with a woman that had kids.... how in the hell could I support her. I can barely support myself and my kids...and my wife's new husband seems to be doing MORE then all right. It didn't seem fair to me.. my wife had a new husband.. a new life.. and was living the American dream.... and here I was living in a studio apt giving part of my salary to her lifestyle... that's the way I felt about it at the time. They were my kids.. and I am damn well responsible to help pay support for them. But, I'm just saying, if your wife and her new husband doesn't really need the support.. is it fair?... or is it just a morality thing? To the extreme.. if your ex-wife marries a millionaire.. should the poor ex-husband still be required to send part of his paycheck to her? I don't know.. I'm just asking your opinion... is there a line?

As I was walking out the door she came up to me and kissed me on the mouth and said "you look sooo handsome".... I still think about that today.. prolly till I die. That was the only thing in my memory that my wife ever said to me that told me she thought I was attractive to her. A very small thing.. but it has lasted with me for well over 40 years.. and will last me for my life time.

The second because I wouldn't stop drinking. Funny how drugs and alcohol can be a lot of the problems (at least in my case). Never saw the first again. The second still lives here (Eugene, Or) and holds no grudges. That did wake me up to what my drinking was doing to those I loved. Don't do that anymore.
