Yardies at home and farrin (part 10)

[dancehallquana 5]

I wish the 'n word' would just be completely abolished! I know some say it's a way to minimize the impact of the word but I feel like it only perpetuates a bad cycle and no matter how you try and slant it, it's still very disrespectful. I feel like as long as that word is in use, there will always be barriers to improving 'race relations'. [end rant]

Like whatever happened to the days when instead of THAT word, people would say 'brother' or even 'homey'?!? Brother is a lot more unifying than THAT ugly word! [NOW end rant]

The trouble I have with it is that it will be said by one black guy about another (for example Usher uses it in his song Love in the Club). Well my son, who is white, will be singing along with the song and gets stumped on that part because I have taught him never to use the word and the impact of it. He's like but wait --- Usher calling his friends that?!?!?!

i wish I had an answr island, its a really messed up issue, and I would hate to be on the other side of the coin cuz like u said the use of the word is very prevalent in music and movies and its like the elephant in the room, nobody supposed to act like its there.. ur made to listen to the word in ur favorite songs, even laugh at its use in some of the movies out there but still know in the back of ur mind its a disrespectful and vulgar term..

I'm so EXHAUSTED....why didn't ya'll tell me custody/childsupport/visitation was such a long drawn out process. I really feel like just saying the hell with it. I have six hearings next year. These won't be resolved until April 2009. Now, I see why some women don't bother...

Glad you got your answer!

Hey peeps!

Congrats Jakeswife! Had no doubts!

Gill, there is not much he can do at this point, without the divorce, he can't file on his own behalf. He may be able to request another interview date. But, that may be pointless because the wife is not available for the interview.

He can check with Vital Records to see if the wife filed the divorce without him. Sadly, he should have handled his business instead of running off to NY. I bet the wife got the interview letter.

YAY!! Well, wish it was sooner but at least that's not too far! Now you just tell him he better make it to this one and safely! Hopefully he'll make sure to get a driver who doesn't drive like a mad man!

Hey Jaws

I was thinking along the same lines Gilly. I am sure the wife got the letter and didn't tell him about it. I would think he would have to file a new petition as failure to show up at the interview would be a denial. He could request it to be reopened but that would be a can of worms. Probably best to refile something new. Now he is either going to have to find her and see if she is willing to go joint on the petition or he is going to have to file for divorce (if she hadn't already) and then file for ROC on his own after he gets a divorce decree. I am sure that he will have tons of explaining to do in regards to why so much time has passed and he never followed through on the paperwork. Maybe a consult with a lawyer would be the best thing. Just to make sure there isn't a roadblock we aren't thinking off.

Quana; we tried to go to mediation afterwards and he was just telling more likes that I physically abused him for 10 years, so I walked out. My lawyer told me I could leave the session at anytime. The lawyer is not permitted to be in mediation with you. Now, I have to take "PARENTING CLASSES" since he's concerns about me being and unfit mother...I damn near fainted
