Allyson, in terms of the haters. Not surprising: but the unfairness of how your brother is being treated is not changed by the fact that the involvement of an immigrant attracts racists.

And the open hatred of illegal immigrants. In New Hampshire.
NH is fairly conservative as a rule. Among other things, they teach creationism in a number of school districts. It's no Vermont.
I'm very sorry about all this sh*t your brother and his family are going through.

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
No, I realize how conservative New Hampshire is. But the pure venom about illegals takin' our jobs...in New Hampshire? Really? NEW HAMPSHIRE?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Ahh...monday. I have a jury summons.They couldn't tell me until last night if I was going in --only to say call us back at 11am . And I am going in. I wouldn't have cared -- I just like to plan my mondays ( they tend to be my most productive days at home) so today feels half-assed.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I took a look at some of the comments that were on an SFGate story about an Armenian family who were turned down for asylum after waiting 16 years for a determination of their status, which is as disheartening as you might think -- lots of blather about how illegal immigrants should be kicked out, which of course, they weren't and still aren't technically as long as they're appealing the ruling.
The stupidity, it BURNS.

Owen got one of their dolls, ran some water in the bathtub, dumped the tub toys into it. Sat the doll in the tub and got some fresh, clean pjs for her.
Did I mention how much I love having kids?
