Havent driven a manual since my test. Dunno if i even could anymore

First time I drove, it was on deserted roads, about 5mph, I ended up in the hedge.

I drove for a few years up in Scotland after I passed my test, then sold my car when I moved to London 10 years ago. I think I've driven maybe once in these last 10 years, and it's frankly ridiculous that I'm allowed to just get behind the wheel right now if I want.

Mexi, what happened with your punching people in the face experiment?

Fight was a draw. Annoying, as the guy could barely stand by the end, and he kept pulling all kinds of **** to get a breather, spitting out his gumshield, throwing me to the ground, complaining about glove straps. One more round and I'd have finished him I'm sure.

He was also quite a big bastard. Never a cruiserweight! I'm in blue:



Anyway, it was a hell of an experience, although not sure if I have the desire to fight again. We'll see.

Nice, congrats. That's something I could never do.

You're not obligated to honor anybody. But let me just be clear here; you have three choices, not two. They are honoring them, not honoring them by saying nothing, dishonoring them by calling them murderers and wagers of war.

I have a problem with the third choice, not the second. And I'm not talking in general, I'm talking about on days of observance, and yes there is a difference.

I'm allowed to say that people who choose the third choice are ****ing *******s. I made sure to write in each post that its MY OPINION. I have lots of them

im gonna sign up for the military and be a soldier. donald trump is the commander in chief. i choose to obey his orders and tell me who to shoot with my gun. thank me for my service. and also please ridicule anyone who questions thanking me for my service.

or bush

or clinton

or bush

or reagan

and on and on and on

Isnt there like 2 whole politard forums AND a politard thread here?

Mexi, do you train for getting punched in the face?

Yeah, I started training fairly intensively 8 months ago, 5x/week for 4 months, then 3x/week the next 4 months. It was mostly to get back into shape, but then my trainer offered me a fight vs someone from another gym looking for an opponent about my size & experience, so I thought **** it.

I've always been pretty sporty, but now I'm fitter than I've ever been, by miles.

Anyone have any experience with anti-depression medications that they'd be comfortable sharing?

I'm going to a doctor tomorrow to evaluate various options. I never did it before because the common side effects of weight gain and reduced sex drive didn't seem super-conducive to me feeling better about my life, but it's been really really bad lately so I'm willing to consider it.

I was also a little worried about doing it if I were to apply for a job in the near future requiring a security clearance, but that's pretty damn moot after last Tuesday, so yay

yay

GL Gad, hope you feel better soon

Thanks

Need to get my **** together before fleeing the country!

GL Gad.

Are you really leaving the country?

Gad

Next time you're in London I demand to take you for a beer

85 percent, at least for a little while

100 percent chance of leaving DC's toxic mess as soon as I can

And thanks for the good wishes

(mexi too -- I will absolutely take you up on that offer, though last time I was in London was 9 years ago and I don't know when I'm getting back there)

master IANAWW is basically right. If there is still a parent in the old state, you are typically going to need to file in TN. If there isn't any parent left in the old state, then you should be able to file for a modification order in the new state directly.

Thanks both of you.

So one of the things that we have now is that my daughter will most likely want to meet with the judge on her behalf and there are certain witnesses here (primarily her therapist and school counselor) who we will also want to testify, yet having to do so in TN would be pretty prohibitive. Would this be something that would be considered if we filed in TN but requested a change of jurisdiction?

just change around to different drugs until you find one right for you

also i think a couple modern ones don't kill sex drive much

One thing that always helped me when I was down was reminding myself how great it is to be an American.

Talking about great and Americans:

Bad Santa 2 is coming out this Thanksgiving!

Jurisdiction is generally not a question of convenience, unfortunately.

It is a limitation on the scope of the court-in-question's power.


Has your daughter lived in WA for 6 months? I thought I saw something about that when scanning the WA code.

Be careful, though, that you don't end up on the wrong side of a Contempt action for violating the existing Order.




You really should speak with an experienced, WA family law attorney. You should be able to find someone to spend an hour with you for maybe a hundred bucks. Look for "unbundled legal services", "low-bono representation", "limited scope attorney".

You can also ask the Washington State Bar or a Legal Aid organization to help you locate these services.

Thanks. That is on our radar for this week. As of right now, we intend to follow the current court order even though my daughter's psych has recommended against it. Being found in contempt won't help us in trying to make a permanent change going forward.
