All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Seriously? I can't believe they can steal the wages from a day at work due to their incompetence, or that it can't be resolved with a phone call.

The really screwy thing is that the case number doesn't match the case number on all of my paperwork. It is so obviously a mistake on their part in every way.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I would at least call them, Allyson, and ask to talk to a supervisor. Maybe you can get it fixed without the hearing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The summer I was in San Luis Obispo, my friend and I were waiting for a bus, and this guys comes up to us and asks, with huge deep breaths at each pause, "Would you marry ... and have children with ... an aging hippie ... from the Woodstock ... era?" We both declined.

My one sister is a very big girl. She will get the occasional lewd " DAAAAAMMMN GIRL " from homeless/possibly homeless guys, construction workers, guys making a fuss, etc. who follow her down the street for a while and make complimentary noises about her butt. The best ever, was in San Francisco where a guy loudly announced:

Damn, Girl. If I weren't gay and homeless, I would marry you...

Which, so tragic and ill-fated and all. It's practically an Austen novel... if only he weren't gay and homeless...

If this was like, any other time, I'd be super annoyed, but right now? While I'm already half broken? It seems insurmountable.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That is utterly ludicrous, Allyson. Esp given the different case numbers I'd try Perkins suggestion first. It could be a mix-up.

I can't believe Franny is still awake. She must be comatose.

I can't believe Isaac is almost 3!! Egad, I have to plan his party.

Allyson, can you email me a copy of the letter you just got, along with your case number? If I have time tomorrow or the next day (and I should), I'll call.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

In a random note I really want a barn right now so I can have see owls and possibly bats... just not have to clean up after them (I can see the bats and hear the owls outside now).

Dude, Perkins, you are just made of win.

Thanks, Perkins. I'll scan it when I get to work in the morning because my scanner is being a jackhole.

I printed out copies of the canceled check, and am putting together all of my paperwork.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Seriously??? Allyson, I'm so sorry. They suck. Perkins, OTOH, rocks like a rocking thing.

Clearly this is a sign that you need to move to Pasadena or Glendale or Burbank where we can thumb our noses at LA proper and tell them to fuck off.
