Deadbeat Parents

I read this story on my local new stations' website. It seems that Child support agencies in other states have come up with some ingenious ways to finds deadbeat parents. From putting wanted styles posters in utility bills and now on pizza boxes. I think it is a great idea. Why can't Connecticut come up with ideas like this? I have been fighting for child support for my son for years....12 long years. I know these agencies have limited people to work on the cases. But man, I can remember not getting child support for months. Supposedly there is a red flag in the system when there have been no payments for 4 consecutive weeks. I have waited 8 weeks and called and they seemed to be oblivious to the fact that no payments have been received. It then takes months to get a court date and then if the father doesn't show up, a capias is issued then you wait months for the arrest. I know first hand, I waited for my son's father to be picked up on a capias for over 2 years.
So why not ask the general public for help, these children deserve what is owed to them and I hope that the great state of Connecticut follows suit. They need as much help as they can get.

 

My Journey to Self Improvement

So this journey is not going so well. I am not sure if it is lack of will power or if I am being assisted. About a month ago I decided that I was ready to quit smoking. Three weeks ago I started to take Chantix to help me with that. Well my husband who is also a smoker and was always the one who said we should quit, always lecturing me about how bad it is for us and so on, really has not been supportive of me. More times than not he will sit next to me on the couch and procede to light up! Piss me off. No reguard for what I am doing, it is not like he didn't know it was coming. I had to wait 2 weeks before I could see my doc and another week before my insurance company approved my prescription. So here I am craving a smoke after not smoking all day. So it is the same idea with losing weight. No support at all. I wanted to go to the gym and he gets all pissed off and says he loves me just the way I am. Thanks honey but I am not buying it. You told me what you use to think of me before I gained the weight and you also told me what other men had said. So it is not that you love me just the way I am, it is the fact that you don't have to worry about who is looking at me and what they are thinking!!
