My Dad passed away many years ago and my Mom is still in love deeply with him. She talks about the things they did when he was alive and how she always did things to please him. Although she also told me she got her own way a lot...

copswife62 Aha! Indeed, I did misunderstand. Thank you for clarifying that. I'm glad you enjoy hearing your mom's tales. It's stories and "lessons in love" you can pass down to the next generation of your family. Your folks were lucky...blessed. Rarely do we hear of...

My husband and I reside in Central Illinois. We are looking to do a direct adopt (when birth mom agrees to allow us and only us to adopt her child).If you know of anyone who resides in this area and is pregnant and not ready to be...

copswife62 Thanks for the questions from all of you - I appreciate your interest. I prefer direct adopt to avoid the over-inflated costs of agencies (loving a child, wanting a child, should not be a for-profit business, in my book), and because I would hope that the...

This is interesting. If I even had been a fan of his, I wouldn't be now. He gives all responsible non-custodial parents a bad name. Shame on you, Tyrone! Copy and paste this into your address bar, then respond and let's hear your...

copswife62 You're absolutely right, castleghost. One little error by the state, and people like you (who have paid and always paid faithfully) can get royally screwed. There is a website you can go to to check on your support payments. Just Google Illinois SDU, and...

copswife62 I agree with you - his support payments are most likely high due to his income (in Illinois, it's about 20% of the annual income, perhaps a bit more). I, too, think it would be easy for the state to collect. However, I'm owed just over $48,000.00 and the state...

I have read many postings on here that include awful spelling and grammar. Not everyone is a speller by nature, or has good grammar skills. M-w.com is the Merriam-Webster site. It not only has a dictionary, but many other tools....

Raising kids is a tough job for anyone, but harder when the father does not care to be involved. In the last 7 yrs my teenager has seen is father for only about a month and a half. I have heard many stories similar to mine. I want...

copswife62 Good for you for not giving up until you got some kind of result! I don't know about Canada, but here in the States, many counties have websites that list property owners (Recorder of Deeds offices, Tax Assessor's offices, etc.). I found out the father of my...

I've noticed here on myLot that many, many people cannot spell words correctly. This is a pet peeve of mine. Should myLot implement a spell checker? How do you feel about the matter?

copswife62 Thanks for all responses. I know that sometimes, when I'm very tired, I'll hit the wrong key and make a mistake, but some postings I see are just filled with errors. I have to agree that some just might not care, but words that are spelled incorrectly stop the...

It seems to me that lately there is so much negativity in the news that it really is getting me down. Has it affected anyone else like this? I'm especially concerned for our armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. I hurt so much...

copswife62 Your most welcome. Bipolar is something not a lot of people understand - they think people can just "shake it off." So not true, and don't let anyone try and convince you of that. I cannot say that there are not times when I don't get the blues, and I did...

My almost 6 year old says one of her lower front teeth is loose. At her last dentist visit in April they said it would be a year before her teeth started falling out. I'm afraid to wiggle it to check becaue I remember being told...
