So my Mom has gone crazy. Raz on the March!

[merithyn]

I think she's moving to close to where you are.  Mattoon. 

Heh... she's about 45 minutes away from us. Odd place to move in Illinois to restart one's political career. I would guess that you're correct on the boyfriend front, Raz.

[Razgovory]

Apparently she can take classes there, for her medical billing thingy.

That she can. There's a relatively decent community college there, as well as a good four-year school, too. But for the political world? Not so much.

The union medical billing job was her political in, remember?

And yet you managed to yank up your kids at a moment's notice and make them follow your dreams to another state, so let's not, mmmkay?

Huh? 

You've got me confused with someone else. I lived with my ex-husband for three years after I left him. When I did finally move out, I bought a house no more than 20 minutes away. After another two years (and five years of the ex not bothering to parent), I moved about two hours away. My kids still visit their dad every other weekend, every holiday, and they spend the summer with him.

But good effort, there, Seedy.

You didn't yank the kids up at a moment's notice so you and Max could go to school in another state with that whole Urbana debacle?  No? Nothing?  No bells there?

Seedy fails geography. And time management.

Urbana, IL, nimrod. 

And I gave the ex six months notice. but sure.... a "moment's" notice....

[CountDeMoney]

Pfft, whatever.  The important thing to remember is you didn't even TRY to make your first marriage work.

Okay, Seedy. Just relax and pet your kitties.

[CountDeMoney]

Just one kitty, you insensitive harlot.

[PDH]

All I can say is that when the spouse ups and leaves and take cash, whether it is 500 or perhaps (and who is to say how much) many times this, it sucks.  This in from personal experience.

That is a pretty good sign to get a lawyer and start the procedings for for themself.

An artist's rendering of the event...

[Caliga]

I agree with Seedy.  Urbana is in Illinois.  Chicago is in Chi-CAAAAAAAAAAH-goah.

[Razgovory]

I discovered that my mom claims she has a new job in Illinois waiting for her.  She's going to write about local politics for some online publication.  All for the princely sum of 200 bucks a month.  Still it's interesting since she knows nothing about the local politics of central Illinois and very little about writing.

Sorry to hear that Raz. What's going to happen to you now? I mean, can your father pay your medical bills and keep a roof over your head on his own?

[Razgovory]

Yeah.  I should be good for right now.  We will probably have to sell the house though.  I've been going out more lately, so that's good.  I really disturbed a lady today at the Walmart.  She was sitting in her truck and I saw she had a flier attached to the windshield and stop and read it.  I didn't see her because the window was tinted, but according to my dad she was visibly upset when a strange man walked up to her truck and stared at her intently.

So I may not be ready for prime time yet.
