A friend of mine is a specialist in Geriatric Medicine and one of the more challenging aspects of his job is occasionally helping people through their final moments.

Last week a veteran of the Royal Air Force who flew Bombers in World War 2 was about to gasp his last. His parting words were "I wish I could just kill one more fUckin' German".

Now that's how to hold a grudge! Smiley: lol

Who else here holds a grudge that they just can't shake off?

My dad told me about a buddy of his who was dying, and asked to see his arch-nemesis. Everyone assumed he wanted to make amends, of course.

The surviving geezer came to the hospital, spiffed up and feeling a sense of occasion. He was escorted into the room and dutifully leaned down, the better to hear his old friend and sometime enemy.

"Harley? That you, Harley?"

"It's me, Joe. I'm here."

"Harley... before I go... I just wanted to say... fUck you."

And he rattled his last breath.

Give a Brit salsa lessons? Sure, right after I plant this corn in salt.

When I was a young lad, around 19, I bought a new graphics card for my computer from this crappy computer shop on Tottenham Court Road.

I went home, tried to install it, it didn't work, so I went back. The guys refuse to take it back, and we got into a big argument, and I was "escorted" out of the premises by the security guard.

Well two nights later, I went back with a friend at 2 in the morning, and put chewing-gum in their lock.

Muhahaha.

Anyway, with regards to the OP, I wanna learn how to dance salsa too!

If ex wives count then yes. Maybe after I get done paying child support so she can not spend it on the kids and then have the nerve to ask me for more I won't hate her as much.

I probably will though.

Child support only works if the person received the child support actually spends it on the child(ren).

------------------------------------------------------------

that car she bought with YOUR money? guess who she carries arounnd in it. that house she spends your money on? guess who lives there too.

a guy at work biotched up a storm because his wife bought a nice pair of shoes. 300 bucks i think. ranted and rasied all kinds of hell. bever mind that he gives her 2000 a month but her mortguage is 2800, not counting car payments, insurance, food, clothing and the list goes on and on and on.

unless what you are giving her pays for her WHOLE morguage/rent, WHOLE car payment, WHOLE insurance bills, WHOLE utilite bills, she IS spending the pittance you send her for child support on your child. the other stuff is coming from HER paycheck.

i did read it. i just saw it in a differant light. i make good money. i could never afford two households. i dont see how anyone could. you have to do without because you do have to? i can see why you are fustraited. but it is not your childs fault. you still OWE your child. and if his mother buys a fancy meal, your child is eating it too. if she buys a nice car, your child is benifiting from it too.

and unless you are there every day after school to pick him up and care for him so she CAN work a full time job and earn more money, YOU are responsible for that too because YOU are responsible for YOUR child.

i have no sympathy for parents, men or women, who put themselves before their familey. none.

there is a guy at work, a good looking guy, who married a great looking woman. had a couple kids, wore her out till she was in her 40s with baggage, then dunmped her because she biotched at him all day. her fault. a nag. never mind he was looking past her sholder every time a good looking woman passed by. never mind he openly flirted with anything that gave him the eye. and alot of them did.

her fault, she did nothing but biotch at him all day. so e divorced her, hooked up with a really hot looking woman 10 years his junior, and left his mid 40ish wife with her baggage behind.

to this day he cant understand why she hates him. cant understand he took everything from her, used her up, then trashed her future and golden years, leaving her a single 40 plus year old mother sruggeling to make ends meet.....and ranting all the time about how she sucks his money from him for her own purposes.

you made your bed. you ARE STILL responsible for it, even if you dont still live in the same household.

if she goes out and buys a cruise for herself and a new boyfriend, its not YOUR money unless YOUR money pays 100 percent of the needs of your child. the entire mortguage/rent, the entire car payment. all the insurance bills, all food and school needs, all medical needs. ALL of it, AND......AND.....you also allow your ex theh chance to persure a full time career by caring for YOUR child while SHE is at work.

unless you are doing all of those things, its NOT YOUR MONEY.


I'm not divorced, nor do I pay child support; and I can spell gud.

I have reverse grudges: **** I feel bad for decades later and long after the other person(s) involved have forgotten. Example: I still get teary eyed when I think of the time when I was 8 and told my dad I didn't want him to go roller skating with me anymore because it was embarrassing.

My mother still reminds me of a time when I used her handcarved jumprope to lasso the neighbor's cat and it almost choked on the fence trying to get away from me.

That, and the time I told the neighbor my mom didn't really like her, but she pretended to cause her daughter and I were friends.

That reminds me of the time my little brother answered the door. It was the neighborhood gossip queen. My brother yells out "Mom, it's that lady that likes to talk a lot!".

Wow shadowrelm, brilliant the way you read into my post and got all that. I'll not go into what happened because frankly it's none of your damn business but I will tell you your way the fuCk off...waaaayyy off.


From what you've posted I feel safe in assuming that your parents divorced when you were young. Just so you know, it was in fact your fault.

My ex had the nerve to tell me that my child support doesn't cover my 6 YEAR OLD SON's rent. He's 6, he doesn't have rent. He has a bedroom at both of our places.

Then she goes on about how I "NEED" to take the day off work tuesday and take my son because she doesn't want to pay the babysitter anymore. I said "if you can't handle it I'll be happy to take custody and make arrangements myself, you fought me for custody, you won, you're responsible for his care.". To which she replied: "He doesn't want to live with you." (we split up when he was 3 months so this insinuates that she actually asks him these things now) Which is a load of crap, he loves it at my place.

I've picked him up three times now after he's been to the hairdressers to get a mohawk...once with blue tips. I picked him up in February, he was sent to the babysitters without a jacket, wearing sandals.

He eats like crap when he's home, I know this because he tells me what he eats at home while we're have real food for dinner. I have to buy him clothes, shoes, coats etc that never come back.

She's had 2 cell phones and 1 home phone disconnected in the last 3 months. She no longer has a phone.

She went to college for 6 months, left him with her mother and step dad while I paid her child support. She then dropped out of college after running up 38k in debt. She now thinks it's my responsibility to bail her out of all her financial problems.

The child support I pay goes to her party fund. I have no problem paying child support, I don't even have a problem with her using it for the hydro bill or something, but he should have some damn shoes that fit.

Keep a log of everything, including picture.

Same thing happened with my uncle. When his son turned 12, he decided he wanted to move in with his Dad. After a couple years of court battles, and due to my uncle's dilligence with keeping records, he now has full custody of his son, and his ex-wife has to pay back the child support that she recieved because she had proof she wasn't using it for the children.

It won't be fast, and it won't be pretty, but if you do things right, you can get a better life for your son.

When I was a wee tyke, I was on my front porch one morning with some older kids and a jar of lightning bugs my sister had collected the dusk before. The kids were all daring me to dump out the insects and, when my sister popped out of the front door to show me her shiney new school uniform, I did the deed. She ran back inside the house crying and I felt like shit that I did something mean to my sister who was trying to show me soemthing she was happy about.

About twenty years later, I apologized to her for it and she looked at me as if I was retarded.
