Blown Off by a Judge
 
Well,
OK, a "Master" really.

Most of ya'll know that I have RSD, and TBI, discs and depression.


(This is the beginning, or, could be the end of my divorce hearing).
I bought my house in 79. Put about 75 Thous. into it, additional room, and full bathroom, with whirlpool, central air, especially designed for "low flow" no outlets can blow on my bed or chairs, etc. and it's designed to dehumidify, rather than "blow cold". Of course the whirlpool is for my rsd.
The house has hydronic baseboard heat, computer regulated by the outdoor temperature. (This is my business, I am a master plumber / heating specifier).
My company did all the installations.
It's a Four Bedroom, Cape Cod, with two full bathrooms.

I bought out my first wife from the property!, NO WAY was I going to let the second, who was broke when I married her, in, with out a pre nup, nor, put her name on my property!

My attorney did not show up, and my wife, this lovely woman that I married, became a "court stenographer", and I'd think that she's in bed with the "master", if I didn't know better...... BUT, I'm certain...


This master tore me from one end to the other.

OK, true, my attorney is a putz, and did not show. (I hope he's insured) NEVER HIRE AN ATTORNEY WHO'S NOT INSURED!! (Get a certificate of insurance, from his ins. company, that is the ONLY way to do it) Settle for nothing less!!!
LET THIS BE YOUR LESSON!


I showed up @ the hearing, just so that I wasn't a "no show". So I could say "I object" to this hearing, I have no counsel"!
My lawyer hadn't returned my call for so long..

The Master has written now, that "I admitted that I take Methadone".
I did not admit that.
I stated that. (answering a question).
How's that an "Admission", it's a mere fact!

He wrote that I have RSD, no mention of the TBI,
he wrote,
that I have
"only A tenuous connection with reality".

Lot's of you here know me.

He went on, to mention that I could probably make a good living (OH LORD< I pray), if not for my (Not quoting) but something like, my self indulged drug induced lift style.
He went on, to berate me, for not having a copy of my pre nup, (which wifey took),
and, made No Mention of my testimony, other than what I said above, I have a "tenuous connection with reality"....


WHAT?
Obviously, this is how dirty the courts in Philadelphia can get.

Since wifey emptied my bank accounts, and had her hands in my business till's, and I've been payin her over 1 grand/mos. in spousal support, from my disability, (while she's working, getting her medical paid, while I pay $850/mos. for my own Medical Blue Cross, and she also has started a court stenography business on her own (Using my Office! and supplies, and computers, etc.)
WTHeck, am I to do?

She forced me to close my two business's, stole my supplies, and is using them! AGH!

This guy is NUTZ!

He doesn't even mention a thing about RSD. He didn't mention the TBI!


So,
He's gonna give her MY house, which her name is not on, and doesn't even mention that it's full of my furniture, (and some very beautiful heirloom furniture that was my parents),
and that's it!

AGH!

I just thought, that you might be interested, but, not spread it around, how a judge can "interpret" our drug use..........

BxSTxRD!

I love you all here,

Pete

Sue your attorney and appeal the ruling! Hell, sue everybody....

stressedout 06-14-2009 08:56 PM

I am so sorry. Appeal if you can with the help of a new lawyer and then sue the other. Unbelievable.

Jomar 06-14-2009 09:02 PM

Isn't there a copy of the pre nup somewhere? the atty that helped write it up?
doctors reports of you dx & why you take meds?

That atty is a jerk for not showing!
Whpo k knows maybe she bribed him to not show?? or offered a kickback if she wins.

something isn't right here and they are taking advantage of it!
get a real good lawyer and find out what can be done to fix this.

First I know this does by no means help, but I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that and it seems by yourself. Even if you weren't there by yourself the house gets pretty quite once everyone has gone. here is a hug and I don't know you......... but i don't like to see anyone get railroaded either.

I'll through some ideas out to try and help in pieces.
-As to the pre nup that was taken was it registered with the court house? Or does anyone have a copy of it ie lawyer,friend,computer. Who put it together for you does that person have a copy or who witnessed the signatures? If nothing else a notary should have noted it on the date and time it was signed.

-GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR ATTY. ASAP. - DO NOT CALL GO TO OFFICE. Sit and wait to get a minute and explain what happened at the masters hearing as you do have a time frame you are working with to appeal this to take it the judge for a reconsiteration. With that you mention all the things you did here as to what happened. Sit down and write it out as to try not to forget anything as i don't know if the stenographer will have finished your case by the time you need to get your paperwork in.

- as to your bank accounts that gets a little more touchy maybe. Is her name on them? If not get the previous months statements and how the money was taken out. If it was done by checks without her name on them you really have her criminally and through your divorce proceedings. If not you still have her in a way maybe did she work for you? did she have legal access to the money? if not the banks or atms will be able to pull up pictures of who pulled out the money but when did you start the busnisess during the marriage? if so the most she maybe able to obtain is half unless she gave you money it which she will have to show proof for.

- you have a lot of work to do as fast as possible so this does not go through and believe me she will be shocked you stoped it.

- On the off chance your lawyer can't or won't do anything there are attys. that will help on income based fees. it's not legal aid but i can't remember the correct name for it at the moment but it should be in the phone book.

I hope something helped.........

loretta 06-15-2009 03:03 AM

Hi Pete,
I can't put in words how disgusted I feel about this. I do know we can't count on justice. But I agree with all the suggestions made to you, especially by cuffs, you can tell he definetly has some legal experience. Get that appeal in yesterday. Were you married to 'her' when she was going to school to be a stenographer? Who paid for her schooling? Maybe you should be asking for alimony or repayment of her education. Believe me when I say they make very good money.
I can't imagine what this is doing to your pain level. Please know I'm thinking of you. Can't imagine a judge giving a ruling without you having representation. Keep in touch, we really do care about you. Your friend,loretta

llrn7470 06-15-2009 03:52 AM

I know this won't help, but you have my sympathy.

As I sometimes say at work "They wonder why normal people sometimes go absolutely bat-**** crazy." You know all of those times that people on the news claim "he was a wonderful neighbor-never thought he'd do x,y,z." Um, yeah, it's crap like this.:wink:

bassman 06-15-2009 07:39 AM

Pete,

I am not a lawyer, and I don’t know Pennsylvania law, but I think that everyone is entitled to be represented by council. There must be some type of "emergency relief" available that can put a halt to the execution of the court's ruling, based on the fact that you asked for an extension until you were represented and the court refused to grant it.

Is there some kind of state or local legal aid association that you can contact to get something done fast? (Deal with your original skunk lawyer later.) But first, you need to keep from getting moved out of the house and so on.

Keep us posted. All the best to you,

Mike

screwballpookie 06-15-2009 12:29 PM

Hey Pete,
Just wanted to let you know how bad I feel for you and to tell you DON'T GIVE UP! You are strong even if it doesn't seem like it somedays you are. You are a great person and what everyone says to do I 100% agree. First do get your appeal started ASAP and later deal with your attorney. Get a different attorney that knows what he is doing there has got to be someone out there for you. Don't let her take everything from you like that. You deserve a fair trial and THIS DEFINITELY WAS UNFAIR! If there is anything i can do to help you out please let me know. I will be here for you. My sister went through a divorce and she had to get letters from a certain amount of people saying what kind of person she was and I was one of them that was selected and I did everything I did so I could help her. Well hers ended up with her winning partly because he was a no show. But I am really serious if there is ANYTHING i can do to help you please let me know I will do whatever it takes to help a great friend like you out. Don't forget about the man upstairs he is always there for you even though somedays it doesn't seem like it somedays especially days like you have had but he really is upstairs for you. Please try not to get to stressed out as this is not good for your condition. you don't want to let her make you hurt more,number one she is not worth it and number two as long as you don't give up yet think of the big party you can throw when everything is all said and done...lol. But seriously don't ever give up.
Take care and keep us all updated. My prayers are with you.

Sincerely,
Tracy

fmichael 06-15-2009 02:48 PM

Pete -

Now, I am a lawyer, but on inactive status with the State Bar of California. So I'm unable to give legal advice under California law, much less that of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. That said, here are some "common sense observations":

First of all, assuming the report of the master is only that, it may require the entry of a court before it can be executed on. Check that out ASAP.

That said, my principle concern is that if you take an appeal and/or contest the report of the master, then the reviewing court, presumably the Court of Common Pleas has only the evidentiary record that was before the master: UNLESS YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A HEARING DE NOVO ON THE MASTER'S REPORT. (Meaning from the start.)

Therefore, unless you are entitled to a hearing de novo, WITH THE ABILITY TO SUBMIT NEW EVIDENCE, it is also vital that you find out what the time limits are for bringing A MOTION FOR REHEARING before the master and then break your posterior to get a copy of the pre-nup and your relavent medical in advance of the filing date. The motion must explain why you used reasonable diligence in attempting to get this before the master at the first hearing (you thought your lawyer was taking care of it, etc.) and then ask for reconsideration based upon the pre-nup and medical records, the pre-nup at least you would attach as an exhibit to your affidavit, which would also address, under oath, your prior reliance upon counsel, etc. As far as medical records are concerned, you want to include copies of what you believe are the most relevant medical records, including corespondance you got from Schwartzman as well as the notes of your current treating physician. And where s/he is in a better position to authenticate his/her medical records than you are, you want his/her affidavit as well. (And see if s/he can authenticate Schwartzman's letters as records that appear and are regularly maintained in his/her medical files; otherwise, authenticate and attach it/them to your own.)

The reason this is so important, is that if the motion for reconsideration is denied, then you can seek review, either by way of appeal or contesting the approval of the master's report, from BOTH the initial ruling and the denial of the motion for reconsideration: that way the copies of your pre-nup and your medical records are in the record and before the reviewing court.

Good luck, Man.

Mike

ps I wish I could offer more, but my only contact with the Municipal Court or the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia was in 1973 when I lived in Center City, shortly after taking a leave of absence with terminal incompletes from my college, that place between 30th and 40th Streets, Chestnut and Spruce. I first got busted for putting my trash out a few minutes after pick up, and had to appear in the "rat control" muni court, where everyone was duly and individually admonished and the charges were dismissed. More significantly, I was the complaining witness in a holdup case, where they kept putting the matter at the end of the calendar so that it would have to be continued, in hopes that I wouldn't show up at some point so it could be dismissed. Finally, after six months of this, when it became clear that I wouldn't go away, trial went forward, the court denied a defense motion to suppress the lineup because the defendant was wearing the same clothes he had on at the holdup and subsequent arrest a few hours earlier (little did the defense know that I had been given a ride to the police station by the arresting officers). In any event, it didn't make any difference, half way through my testimony the judge announced that he was entering a judgment of acquittal for the defendant: apparently, where the kid (18) had already spent 8 months in county jail, unable to post bond, the court didn't want to hand him his first adult felony conviction for what was in essence a kid-upon-kid robbery. Only problem was that a few days later the guy who had been the alibi witness at trial, and someone else I couldn't see clearly from my first floor apt. window, tried to break down the front door of the building. The guy at the front door split as the cops showed up, and while they picked up and verified the identity of the alibi witness who was starring in from the car, they had no basis to hold him. A few hours later, the phone rang, breathing, no one there. My girlfriend and I left ASAP for the apt. of a former roommate, and we spent the most of the night with him in South Jersey. By the next day, my 19 year old, bearded long haired gnome of a self, was officially under the wing of the Witness Protection Program of the Philadelphia Police Dept., along with my girlfriend, until our parents heard about it a few days later, at which point our chains were jerked but good, and we moved into her family’s good sized home in Croton on Hudson NY, commuting by train a couple of times a week so she could finish up her art school classes and I could see my shrink, before she transferred schools and we moved to Minneapolis a few months later.

Funny part was, a few months after our move to Minnesota, someone gave me an MMPI and when I got to "There are people who want to kill me," I had to answer truthfully: Yes!

True, my wife has taken all her best shots.
I have not taken a "swing" yet.
No counsel!

I will not give up, I could fight this fight for Anyone, yet, why does it seem so so difficult, to do for yourself?

I just want to thank you ALL, for coming to my side! You are the best family a guy could want!
I truly love you all!

Wow I am so sorry. Divorce is stressful I have heard from my family members and on top of the current health you have to face I can't even imagine. Do you have family/friends to help you fight this battle? I would reach out in real time as much as you can. Is there a way you can get another lawyer. I too would go to the office and wait or call every hour if you are not up to it. Then I would file a complaint cause that is unacceptable. I am so confused but if her name is not on the house then why can she get it? Your health conditions really should have nothing to do with this. They are seperate problems. Actually I feel with your health problems you should be given more since unable to work etc often. She sounds like she is healthy physically. Well you are in my thoughts and I hope things look up soon

OMG, I am so angry just hearing this !

I would start with reporting that judge to whatever authority he answers to and quickly follow up with a lawsuit against him for violating your rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Add in slander and libel.....as he both said it and will write it up in the order.

This is beyond frakked up !

aj822 06-16-2009 06:57 AM

I am so sorry that you are having to deal with this mess! You have a lot of support and love from all of us so don't give up! Take a quick step back, regroup, make a plan and go for it!

Remember, we are here for you...The power of prayer and positive thinking will carry you through this trying time. :grouphug:

Mike,

First of all, thank you for your great discussion about Pete's problem. This site has people from all sorts of professions. Even retired or otherwise moved on, your opinion is worth a lot more than those of us who have never practiced.

I have had to take the MMPI several times through the years, mostly for employment screening. I have always thought of the old joke "Are you still paranoid if they really are out to get you?" ;)

A friend of mine got his Doctor of Psychology at U Minn. and said that test was the laughing stock of their department.

Pete - HANG IN THERE, BUDDY!

AintSoBad 06-16-2009 07:44 AM

You folks, are ALL the Best!

I've been seriously considering ending my life.
(When it comes to something like this, isn't that my choice?)

I do realize that God wouldn't appreciate it.

I do keep reading the "Book of Job".
Heavy stuff!

Again, I cannot thank ya'll enough for your kind friendship.

At this time, when those I most "Traditionally" depended on, have departed me,
yet, I realize, that they were in for my cash, my money.

Who will love me with a minimal amount?

No one here judges me. This is Beautiful!

As if Biblical..

I cannot tell you all, how I do love you all!

God gave me a gift, how DARE I take it away?

That would be the ultimate in stupidity!

You're right!

Even though, EVERYTHING I have worked for, and have been so lucky to have been gifted,
is now gone, I could not be so idiotic!
No Way!
Thank you, my young friend!!!

God, and his son,
have and hold some other reality for me. (And, for all of us)!

I've just never been so low...

You all, lift me to a higher place!

I was CRAZY to give my love to someone who was only sent by Satan, to use me!
I feel "dirty"!

You all, make me feel "renewed", and I cannot get that from my "loved ones", my brother,
my children, etc........


I want to thank you all!
And, all for your PM's!

Please, don't be shy!
Keep them coming.
I am at the lowest time of my weakness.

Yet, I'd do anything to save anyone of ya'll!!

Truly, I mean that!

Your choice is either to accept the ruling, or to follow Mike's friendly, helpful suggestions, as well as your other buddies on NT.

Ending your life is not a choice,nor an option; however, it is a selfish act. :Speechless:

Why cave in and make life easier on the X? Fight!

You are so much stronger than you realize, and as a friend, I am reminding you that your LIFE makes a difference to those in contact with you. I don't believe you are a selfish person and I am sure many on NT and those that visit you at your home, would agree with me.

Thank you Pete!!:hug:

I am SO glad to hear that you would never, ever consider taking your own life!!! We all need you and you DO have a purpose on this planet for as long as you live!!

I lost my aunty to suicide and it was devestating. She commited suicide after her daughter died in a car crash as she couldn't cope with being on her own. I was always told that suicide is the 'cowards way out' and I truly believe that it is!! As you said, God gave you life and have to respect that and live it to the fulliest!!!!

Suicide is not a nice game and I don't think the sufferer realises what they are doing to their family and friends when they are so depressed. Yes suicide may end all of their problems but it creates h*ll for everyone else in their lives!!!

I'm sorry you are feeling down! I can relate as I have been feeling pretty depressed lately for some reason. If you ever want someone to talk to, you know where I am as I truly understand what you are going through!!:hug:

Take care and I hope things start picking up for you soon!

Job is the bomb
 
You are really on the right track reading Job. It is a humbling and inspiring book, isn't it? Remember, Job did not ever feel that God had forgotten about him and never stopped leaning on him (even when I would've long since thought no one was there to lean TO.) There are many things that can be taken from you-really everything-but only you can take away your own faith.

I'm not typically a very active believer, but couldn't help but encourage you to stay in Job...so many promises and inspirations! It's my absolute favorite book.

AintSoBad 06-16-2009 11:39 AM

it's a very odd sort of feeling.
As if my feets aren't touching the ground.....
Nor, my anything can touch anything!

It's ALL left up to God!
This is No Carnival Ride!
(And, I hate those)

So then,
What might I do?
I did think about ending it all. I won't lie to ya'll, my good friends!
Of course I thought that!

But, it just couldn't work!
No how, No Way!

I must live, according to the "Code".
Do it right.
If not, I'm a total royal F*** up!
(sorry for that).

Yet, it's true!

Perhaps, God wants me to see and understand what it's like to have "nothing".

I don't think, I'd be much different....
I've given it much thought.

I worked "mightily" for my home, and children, and business's.
Yet, the only thing left, is my home.
Why shouldn't I lose that too?

My Brother, the family thief, who stole my father blind, and all I did for dad,
wimply refuses to help me.
My step mother on her death bed, whom he stole from also, has told me ALL the facts, and I've really reamed him with them, he refuses to see the truth.
OK.
That's fine.
My pain psychiatrists, have told me, over and over again, that I was "taught, or patterned" to just give".
OK, still feels good to me.
Yet my bro won't believe it, older sis is dead.
So What?
We all will die.

That Brother won't help, (and he's recently become a paraplegic) with an awesome wife, or , fool, whatever,
If she and her family knew what he really did, it would spin his world upside down. Yet, I cannot do that to him.
I just can't.

While he denies me, and holds Dad's and my cash.

So, I may end up where many of us do.
no place to live (even though my home is paid for),
and, many worse things....

I truly believe in this one truth,

What "Comes Round, Goes Round".


I Truly, Truly want to thank you all, for you kind words here, and your PM"s!!!

Please, Keep them coming,
and I will keep ya''ll
up to date on this evil, lied about divorce thing....


Love to Ya'll!

Pete

Hugs!

Hi Pete,
 
I just wanted to say how sorry I am about what you are going through. I am praying that you gain the strength to go to your lawyer and ask him questions about why he never showed up and if you paid him then tell him you will see him in court to sue him for what he hasn't done for you.

Also I hope you fight for your home. I know how hard it is for us to fight for anything when we are in the shape we are in. Hell, I was depressed last night about not being able to just pull myself up and move on after losing Bill, not being able to work and little things going on with me.

With RSD as Diana says, we seem to be in a world of our own. We look normal, at least most of us do with it, so therefore everyone thinks we are fine, yet we can't function like what I call normal people.

When it comes to divorce, I think a lot of times, it's still a woman's world. I think even though women have fought for rights they didn't want to give up the divorce right to take men for all they have or drive them nuts even after they are divorced. I know some women come out losers in divorces but I don't think it's to the extent of the men.

I am sorry that your family won't help you in any way. It goes back to them not understanding what we are going through physically and then when we get another burden thrown on that we can't deal with then they don't seem to understand why we can't get through it. I'll be honest with you, I don't deal with this issue but I see many that does. Families don't stick together like they use to.

I do hope you start feeling better soon and maybe in a day or two when you start seeing things more clearly then you can think of what your next steps will be to keep your home.

We are here for you.

Ada

Hi Pete,

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for all that you are going through right now. You are in my prayers. Please stay strong and don't let this beat you down. You have faith, hope, and love.

Our courts are beyond messed up
 
Number one go after that low life attorney of yours. 2nd appeal this outrageous ruling and bring it before another judge. Than heres the important part while it looks really bad right now wait until after the appeal. You may not get everything you want but if the house is in your name and there is a prenup as you said than you will be able to get it back. Plus a attorney that actually does his job should have no problem getting the house at least for you.
Try not to be down as that lets your exwife win easier. And don't you dare give up!!!

daniella 06-16-2009 04:56 PM

Again I am so sorry. You have to hold to Hope and I know this is easier said then done trust me. I am not a religious person and actually have to really work to be positive as even before this condition I was a "Debbie" downer. Hope even if it is in something small to get you through the day. I am glad you have a psychologist and I know how hard it is with lack of family support. Do you have friends in real time that can be there to help you? I am not very familiar with law stuff but there has to be somewhere to get this to be seen as wrong and that justice is not being served. I wish I had more answers for you but you have an email buddy here too. You are not alone and I know it can feel that way often. Sending better wishes and times ahead

OK, a "Master" really.

Most of ya'll know that I have RSD, and TBI, discs and depression.


(This is the beginning, or, could be the end of my divorce hearing).
I bought my house in 79. Put about 75 Thous. into it, additional room, and full bathroom, with whirlpool, central air, especially designed for "low flow" no outlets can blow on my bed or chairs, etc. and it's designed to dehumidify, rather than "blow cold". Of course the whirlpool is for my rsd.
The house has hydronic baseboard heat, computer regulated by the outdoor temperature. (This is my business, I am a master plumber / heating specifier).
My company did all the installations.
It's a Four Bedroom, Cape Cod, with two full bathrooms.

I bought out my first wife from the property!, NO WAY was I going to let the second, who was broke when I married her, in, with out a pre nup, nor, put her name on my property!

My attorney did not show up, and my wife, this lovely woman that I married, became a "court stenographer", and I'd think that she's in bed with the "master", if I didn't know better...... BUT, I'm certain...


This master tore me from one end to the other.

OK, true, my attorney is a putz, and did not show. (I hope he's insured) NEVER HIRE AN ATTORNEY WHO'S NOT INSURED!! (Get a certificate of insurance, from his ins. company, that is the ONLY way to do it) Settle for nothing less!!!
LET THIS BE YOUR LESSON!


I showed up @ the hearing, just so that I wasn't a "no show". So I could say "I object" to this hearing, I have no counsel"!
My lawyer hadn't returned my call for so long..

The Master has written now, that "I admitted that I take Methadone".
I did not admit that.
I stated that. (answering a question).
How's that an "Admission", it's a mere fact!

He wrote that I have RSD, no mention of the TBI,
he wrote,
that I have
"only A tenuous connection with reality".

Lot's of you here know me.

He went on, to mention that I could probably make a good living (OH LORD< I pray), if not for my (Not quoting) but something like, my self indulged drug induced lift style.
He went on, to berate me, for not having a copy of my pre nup, (which wifey took),
and, made No Mention of my testimony, other than what I said above, I have a "tenuous connection with reality"....


WHAT?
Obviously, this is how dirty the courts in Philadelphia can get.

Since wifey emptied my bank accounts, and had her hands in my business till's, and I've been payin her over 1 grand/mos. in spousal support, from my disability, (while she's working, getting her medical paid, while I pay $850/mos. for my own Medical Blue Cross, and she also has started a court stenography business on her own (Using my Office! and supplies, and computers, etc.)
WTHeck, am I to do?

She forced me to close my two business's, stole my supplies, and is using them! AGH!

This guy is NUTZ!

He doesn't even mention a thing about RSD. He didn't mention the TBI!


So,
He's gonna give her MY house, which her name is not on, and doesn't even mention that it's full of my furniture, (and some very beautiful heirloom furniture that was my parents),
and that's it!

AGH!

I just thought, that you might be interested, but, not spread it around, how a judge can "interpret" our drug use..........

BxSTxRD!

I love you all here,

Pete

Asb....????


--- I'm new to the site and just trying to nav around. Spent awile trying to find it again... Anyway, I hope i was helpful and have a few other ideas but didn't want to step on any toes. I was in law enforcement for quite awhile before rsd. I was one of a few females that thought everyone had a fair shake. good luck if you need anything & if i can help let me know. I tried to leave an email for you but i haven't left enough posts. don't get that one but rules are rules. I'll check when i can.

allentgamer 06-16-2009 09:56 PM

Hey bro, sounds like you got pounded, but im glad your not the type to take the easy way out. I totally identify with your situation, although the way you would lose is different, it is still losing everything.

What I do have to share might sound cheesy, but it happened for me. When I first realized that I could not work any longer, my future looked very bleak and scared the cr*p out of me.

I had a ranch with 2 homes, a couple of car payments, 6 kids to feed, with a wife that thought shopping was therapy for everything including a headache. Over the next 5 years I lost or sold everything I owned. Credit companies were after me, banks wouldnt give me a bank account, lost the houses, cars repossessed, the whole world was crumbling around me.

Unbelievably my wife hung in there like the trooper I always hoped she would be, but everything else was gone. I did have one thing that kept me going, and that was my faith in a higher power that has everything under control.

I know there is this higher power because I found a rental house, but didnt have the money to rent it. The next day a check arrived from the state for something I over payed. I had my rental, but zero income :(

Making a long story short, the lord seen me through the worst 5 years of my life, not saying he saved me from the grief and heartache, but I am still in this rental. I was 3 months behind on the rent on 3 different occasions, for over 4 moths at a time, and the landlord for some reason let me stay. She evicted several other tenants, but not me. A miracle to me.

Every time there was a need for money or there would be dire consequences, the money would show up from out of the blue, and always about how much I needed. I had my power shut off many times before, but not during this 5 years, including up to this day. I guess I had little faith or was tryin to hard on my own power back then. :D

Sure if I let the things going on around me get to me, I would have taken the easy way out. I just gave everything to god because there was no way I was going to do anything about the circumstances.

He is faithful when we can trust him to take care of us. I am living proof.

I will be prayin for ya bro, and the advice in this thread sounds like some good advice :winky: :hug:

AintSoBad 06-17-2009 02:07 PM

I need to ask a favor...
 
Allen, My heart goes out to you!
Lord, we've got to PM.
My prayers are with you..

~~~~~~~~~

It seems as for me, I will lose my home, although it is full of MY furniture, my parents "Heirloom" furniture, etc. my Jaguar E Type in the garage, and on and on...
I'll get some "Chump Change".

I have a Pre Nup with this nice lady. But, as you know, my last attorney has probably "lost" my file... Along with that pre nup
I cannot get through to my children, (MY daugher in this case), Who HAS a copy of it!

Anyone here who uses "FaceBook", and would like to write to my daughter for me, to get a copy of this Pre Nup, would be most appreciated!
I know she has a copy. No matter where she left it, no matter what hoops she needs to jump through to get it, I need it by this weekend.
(The P.N. and her testimony, would likely save the house!)
(When I go there, (Daughter's facebook page), I must be blocked somehow, it comes up in chinese, or japanese, which, would be a shock to me, if she spoke either of those!).

So, write me or PM me, and I'll give you her Facebook name.
Some of you are very nice writters, this might be the "break" that God's looking to give me? I don't know. I'' shivering in pain...


So, I'm losing big time, wifey had a plan for a long time, probably before I married her, and it's working. All I can do now, is try to plug the Titanic.
Which is, certainly sinking....


Thanks for all you kind thoughts!:hug::grouphug::hug:

Pete

Thanks Allen!
You are a genuine friend! man hugs:hug:

I think it would help to have some of the Facebook ladies aboard too.
(I haven't spoken to my daughter for 4 years). As ya'll know.
All caused by this crappy situation.

She can be a hero.
Or, she may choose to hate me. (That'll be her choice of course.).
You may hear some terrible things about me, I don't know.
Maybe, even if I "lose it all", I may regain a relationship with my children!
How much better to choose love, over Gold, Understanding, over Silver!

I wonder, all those of you gals who have befriended me on Facebook would be willing to "venture a shot in the dark" to my daughter, for her, her brother's, their children's and my sake?" (Let's see, my daughter is now about 24 years old. I think you could all have an effect on her!
She has never known how ill her Daddy is. Except for what she saw.. (Which was sufficient, but, who knows?)

I'd only give some basic info, and leave the rest to ya'll, for a short note.
This is now time critical.

I want to thank you ALL for your kind and lovin' support that you've shown me recently! The world is full of good people, they're here! :grouphug::hug::hug:

Any thoughts let me know here, PM, or Facebook, or email...

First, someone msg. me on Facebook, and I'll give you her name.
Just see if you can send her a message? (Don't have to do it yet, just see if it's an available option). /thank you THANK YOU!!

love ya's,:hug::grouphug::hug:
