Tuesday, January 3, 2006 by starkers | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Took us for a ride over 3 days & took off again.....case worker assisted it
Can't take any more, I'm moving on.
Will check in once in a while but other priorities come first.

You are truly an exceptional man! Don't think I could stay sane with all you have gone through. My best wishes and great respect go out to you and your wife.

Well done, Starkers & the misses! I agree with the removal of kid gloves and all, maybe she'll get an idea. You might try casting out in the yard, just to keep the dwelling to the liking of the misses. Have her roll you and your PC out there! Good luck with googling, no goggling though!

Thanks, Tapper....tho I don't know about the sane part. Not in an Einstein sorta way, but I think sanity is relative....being that it's relative as to whether or not others think you are. Fortunately, I've not been out in public long enough for anyone to make an informed decision yet. 
Nice ta see you again, Scorpio. I'm glad you support the removal of the kid gloves, but we decided in the end not to store away the cotton wool....still need it for the 'mum, dad, I'm broke and need some money' phone calls.
Did the casting thing outside, as advised, but now require extra padding on my puter chair...the hook extraction from my ass is still a little tender
And why's it okay to google but not to goggle? There happens to be a very nice young lady across the street who undresses with her curtains open.....and I'd sorta like ta have some memory that I too was once young. 
I ask you...no, I beg you, please do not deny me the only remaining alternative I have, other than to use ma' stethoscope ta check to see if my heart's still a beatin'
As fer the wife a rollin' me outside...admittedly I had a couple of minor strokes and haven't been 100%, but I'm generally okay now and not seriously impeded in any way, just a little numbness here and there, a few headaches, etc, from time to time. Other than that, I'd be up for the marathon in the Seniors Olympics if I could tear meself away from this here darned puter....WC long enough

Now I'm REALLY PISSED! The case worker not long ago rang to abuse me/us for not attending to Tanka's medical needs after she was beaten up. We were accused of neglect and a number of other things, prior to my slamming the phone down in her ear.
If the girl had come to us for help, it would have been given....but she didn't and we couldn't assist her, so where does this pathetic excuse for a woman get off accusing us of neglect, etc.
No more though...changed our phone no, made it silent/private so she cannot bother us again that way.
Dunno how high we have to go to get results, but we're going to get 'em one way or another...legally, of course.

UPDATE
Sadly, I think we've lost the battle
Just got a late night (here) visit from 2 members of yet another agency to inform us of their intent to press criminal charges against Tanka in the morning. Given the nature of their complaints, the fact that they are govt/semi-govt workers who carry more weight and have considerably more influence than we do, it would seem the matter is entirely out of our hands now. Prior to this, Family Services considered her wild streak/nature as non-indictable juvenile behaviour...but a repeated overstepping the line in the last few days has changed all that....with Family services now being replaced by the Justice Dept to ensure the matters are correctly addressed.
I simply cannot express the negativity coursing throughout my body, heart, soul and mind right now, but I not gonna let it beat me, and we'll continue with our plans to move on....obviously without her. Leniency, we are told, is no longer a consideration!

So very true.
And speaking as a father that is about go through his own custody battle in two weeks, and who has more dealings with so called "experts" than I'd care to admit, this totally sux mate.
Both Moira and myself are thinking about you guys, sorry for not being in touch via email mate, but things have turned to crap for us down here....for now that is...
Hang in there

No worries about the emails, mate, we fully understand that you've got your plate full and are otherwise preoccupied. Fairly much the same here....and today she turned up here, accompanied by two officials who were least pleasant to say the least, to collect the remainer of her personal posssessions. Indications are that we may not see her again...except for some upcoming court issue, but you'd hardly call that quality time, given the most likely outcome will be an enforced separation, imposed this time by the authorities, who seemingly only act when it suits them...NOT BEFORE.
Practically got down on our knees and begged them for help...genuine help for all of us, as a family. For all the good it did us.....may as well have drunk weed killer and pissed on the pot plants to if they'd positively respond.

There's a thread on here about prayer and religion, etc....the evils of the world.
Well I've come to the conclusion that Satan/ The Devil retired some time ago....handing over the reigns to 'presumed' child care workers.
But even the title is a misnomer....a person actually has to achieve/produce something and be functional to be considered a 'worker'
The title child care worker, to me, implies that the bureaucracy requires distinctions to know the difference between who is a typist, pencil pusher, receptionist, etc....and the "child care worker" is the one they shove in yer face cos the pecil pusher's to busy and don't have a university degree in Golden Book analysis.
The bloody Satan has got alot to answer for....at least when he was still in charge, kids got a good swift kick up the arse for stepping out of line too far....now they're given enough rope and left to their own devices, which is obviously, negative and non-productive for themselves, society and the distraught parents pulling out their hair and losing the battle to keep it all together.
World war 3 won't be nation against nationagainst nation militarily...it'll be todays youth in complete anarchy and rebellion...doing al Qaeda's because our generation/society betrayed and let them down...to put it bluntly, when enough of them have had a gutful of our blaze` attitudes, ineptitude/ inactivity

Precisely my point....though I must qusetion the conext in which moron is used.
The word moron could imply more on than off....and it seems to me these scum bags, elected or self appointed, are more OFF the job than they're ON it.

| A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element has been named Governmentium. Governmentium (Gv) has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete, when it would normally take less than a second. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 4 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutron exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass. When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium - an element which radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons, but twice as many morons. |

Tried seriously to tell Tanka that her bad behaviour was about as funny as a fart in church....immediately had to leave the room, saw the funny side of a rip roarer during a sermon, the priest's reaction, and spontaneously burst into laughter. If there's a funny side to something/anything....guarantee I'll find it. Like when I almost cut off my left big toe and the doctor said that I may lose it: " No worries, doc...don't really need it, got one just like it on me right foot."
Latest on Tanka! My wife was earlier informed by someone who had just seen her, that Tanka had been beaten up quite badly...black eyes, bloody nose, fat lip and chipped a chipped tooth. We told her that she was creating enemies with her bad behaviour and attitude. Maybe now she will realise that mum and dad aren't so full of @%$# after all, that the streets are as cut throat as we say they are...and prison is far worse.
In any event, she's taking her lumps, and maybe learning the hard way is the only way. We've put away the cotton wool and taken off the kid gloves. If she's comes to us sick or injured, we drop her off at a hospital; if she needs a bed we drop her off at a refuge; if she's hungry we take her to a soup kitchen. Yeah, that's harsh, but its in compliance with what she said she wanted...the bed she chose to lie in, etc.
In the event of a crisis/emergency, we will respond accordingly, other than that, we're not pandering to or supporting her activities with funding or anything else that assists her to continue as is. It's not that we've given up on her, far from it, the tactics we're using just aren't working so a strategy change is required.
Sooner or later, if the Justice Dept doesn't intervene first, she will become desperate, sincere and repentant enough to want to come home with her tail between her legs, at which point, we will be given the bargaining tools with which to set down reasonable guidelines, rules and what is acceptable behaviour, etc.
In the meantime, however, I'm in trouble with the wife...was practising casting and got a fish hook caught in her best curtains. I tried desperately to placate her by saying that if I tied on some fly fishing accessories. etc, it would make quite a nice decoration...needless to say, she wasn't impressed.
