As I pointed out before - if that's what it's like on the receiving end, imagine what it's like actually experiencing one of those.
Celebrating 20 years together this weekend.
Seen some good times and some bad times.
Here is to hopefully 20 more.
It’s been a great hat.
Somehow I mistakenly disagreed with this post. Was a stupor, I assure you.

You know, I've never wanted to compete until I joined MT. Those of you who do seem to love it so much, I now feel cheated. Good luck!tournament tomorrow!!
I absolutely love going to a school and doing beginner material. I'm always amazed by how much more fun their beginner material is than mine.
No.

I don't often go on Martial Talk on weekends, but when I do, I make sure to post at least once on the Last Person thread.

Yesterday's training was great. Normally I follow this pattern: one day I will do 15 minutes of improvisation on the wooden dummy. The next day, I will do 15 minutes on the heavy bag. I give myself a rest day (on Sundays, of course). However, yesterday I was feeling inspired so I did the dummy AND heavy bag. Today I think I will do the same!

Does anyone else here have kids, but they are no longer with the other parent?

No question. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced the joy of being in this position. LOL

MY favorite? When they say, "Hey I just bought something for the kid for $500. You are supposed to reimburse me half."
Then you say, "Can I have the receipt for my records please?"
And you get nothing.

yeah, but the hubub around it, it's disgusting.
the little lad has been made the postershild of the rightwing lifers, to discredit national healthcare.
While in the US, the family would be begging for cardboard boxes to cozy up the bridge they are forced to live under....
Rest in peace, little dude.

I think the problem was that wishful thinking was at the root of this.
the medical staff in Italy reversed their offer once they learned the true condition of this poor worm.
In any case, while I feel for the parents, the circus around the case is horrific.
It's not like you throw the babe in the back of your car and truck on down to Italy....
I am sure the media distorted the verdicts, too, especially The Blaze and co, what one person on my FB feed linked to....propaganda to defend for-profit 'healthcare' that bankrupts us and leaves us sick.

Um...I PAY my support. I am talking about when the ex probably wants to buy herself some fancy new electronic toy, but they tell the father, "Yeah I spent X amount of dollars on the kid, so you need to reimburse me half."
I say, "No problem...just give me the receipt for my records first."
And then no receipt is presented. IE...there never was anything bought for the child.
Scamming CAN go both ways. The mom isn't automatically the better parent and/or a saint simply because the child can grow inside her.
