Walked in on An HCGUBM convo

Lady was bragging about how she will continue to withhold visitation AND seek that he never has any visitation.  She just won 100% custody of her DD.  Apparently biodad/her ex-husband has been and is paying CS all along.  She just wants him to be a wallet.  He has objected a few times and she moved the court date around on him so he wouldn't get notified in time.

They are all among us!!!!

So preliminary doing Chef's taxes and lo and behold the part where you are to attach Form 8332 is broken!!!  This year he is to claim the house shitter.  Not much of a discount because he is not filing head of household but single with dependent as an NCP.  

But of course!!! 

NYE For Old Folks! :)

Had two custom crafted cocktails by a local trendy restaurant.  First one was whiskey based, the 2nd was cognac based.  Then went to a glass of cab.  Was home by 8 p.m.  Watched a bit of TV then went to bed!!  Up at 6:00 a.m. the next day to start 1099s, Chef's taxes and four hours of business filing, cleaned house, took down Christmas decor.  Back to my regular job today!

 

Spin Off on Skids Eating Habits--Dining Out with Peccaries

I should preface by saying that when I was young, fast food was, well just not there.  There were mostly diners and formal sit down restaurants other than the lunch counter at Woolworths.  We were taught early on about table manners, how to hold your cutlery, napkin on lap, elbows off the table, chewing with your mouth closed, no talking and chewing at the same time, how to say "no thank you I don't care for this or that" instead of "YUCKKK!!!!"  not to take more food than you can eat, no bodily noises at the table, only polite quiet conversation when mouth is not full.

The Seven Deadly Sins of Biodads

1. Unilaterally agreeing to sudden schedule changes/events with BM and not consulting with SM in advance
2. Allowing BM-sponsored skid espionage
3. Reminiscing about previous marriage/family incessantly in front of SM
4. Allowing mini-spouse activity/disrespect of SM by BM and skids
5. Playing victim and not even trying to parent because "I don't have that much time with them" "I can't influence them"
6. Taking frustration out on the wrong parties (i.e. taking frustration with BM/skids out on SM/blaming SM)

My DIL is GREAT!!!

It was just the four of us for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Evening.  Awesomeson, DIL, myself and Chef.  Chef had to work both days (one of those days on the rental property to get the heat downstairs up and running).  

Barf!!!

As I was playing "Christmas Time Is Here" by Vince Guaraldi on piano (youtube)  an ad popped up for Pandora of a dad who was buying his grown daughter what looked like an engagement ring from Pandora; then it showed the open cabin of an airliner.  Just made me cringe.  Maybe it's just me?  I don't get it!  My father NEVER bought me ANY jewelry.  That was considered something done by lovers.

Chef bought the Animal Torturer a heart locket.  She would never wear it as she was already PASed out beyond belief at age eight.  I ended up putting it into a pile of old jewelry I have.
