Lloyd. It's a secret. Well, not really, I want to see if I get that job first, you know, before I unseal my lips and tell everyone about the location. Superstitious.

And it's true that you end up living for your kids which is a good thing. I still am trying to balance living for my son with what I want out of life and how to do it and maintain pride. What I'm learning is when I seek happiness with another person, it oftens compromises my pride. So now, I need to get far away from that person, and be content with living for my son and for me.

Wait, so you're dating someone else as well? My don't we get around? JK! How old are you?

[artyemi]

oh lloyd.. i broke up with my son's dad over a year ago... i would never cheat on him.

i don't know if i considered it dating someone else. not when you've found that they were with you because of gratitude and loyalty. it was almost like he was trying to repay my generosity by being with me. it's pretty pathetic of me to want to be with someone whose reason for being with me is out of gratitude. it was a mistake. i'm ashamed. so i try to forget that we "dated." In my books, it never happened. But I can only pretend that it didn't happen, because it did. And then, I'm ashamed all over again.

But it's okay. I'm done with it. But I'll pathetically crawl back and try to get his friendship.

I heard that if he had a good lawyer, he can claim that it'd be a hardship to get to see him etc. and could keep you close.

A good lawyer and you can get away with pretty much anything.

I mean, if people have actually won cases vs McDonalds suing them for "making them obese."

you know the caution:hot on the cups. it was because someone sued one of those places for hot water that burned them when they were drinking it.

Tone, no one won that case, they threw it out.

yes, they won $10 million i believe. he spilled it on his lap and claimed it burnt hie tesicles and he could never have kids, or some bs like that.

[artyemi]

but then recently, a bunch of people also tried that again, but the judge didn't let it pass. they knew the coffee was hot and should be more careful. haha... <3 these things..

Are you sure? I could have sworn a few years back people talking about how ridiculous it was that someone actually won that case...

No, they threw it out. But it was still a pretty pathetic case.

[Tone]

And all these years I thought our court system was full of holes and ... ohwait

[artyemi]
