hugs Q-bert

not sure what else to say to all that... just hugs.

Heya Andy,

Was just off to bed when I thought 'I bettcha Andy's posted a blog' and voila. So be that the case, LOL. hehe.

One) Wow, this is soooo exciting. Every day, every week and it's getting closer. You're gonna be a dad!!! It'll change your life forever.

Two) Well now, ain't he a silly judge.

Three) I think it's sad anyone would do this to you.

Oki-doki, let's hope the rest of your day picks up. Focus on the baby thing. That's sweet as.

@ Lugh - thanks - could be worse, I coulda gotten locked up

@Anyta - um you told me to write about almost getting locked up LOL. Sorry the psychic friends network isn't gonna be impressed by your powers of divination And yes it is sweet as!

Congratulations hun.I'm getting excited for you. It sounds as if things are going really well.

As for the judge, well I know him... or at least a couple like him. I have gone head to head with district judges sometimes when they just won't see the sense in something and actually seem to be deliberately obtuse. I don't know if you have the same problem but sometimes it is blatantly obvious that they havent read the file and we are arguing about things that he would have known about and probably would have agreed with if he had read it.

I have come out of court muttering f**king ass more than once.

As for the rep thing, I know tha Mark Arbour was complaining about the same thing the other day. Some people must have such sad lives to sit there and do something like that. I mean why? What's the point? What does it achive? Does it think that a lower rep will make you less respected? Like THAT is going to happen because of a few numbers.

Don't worry hun I haven't read the last couple of chapter of SS yet because I want to wait until it's all there before I do... you will be sure to get some more reps then

Ten weeks just fly by! Imagine soon you'll be here saying ten more weeks to go!

Also, I'm clad to hear that you really do appreciate the surrogate even with some of the issues earlier. It shows you are a good man. In a really difficult situation. But jej, you got a baby coming your way

**Hugs**

Ps. If you got neg repped, I'm sure it was just someone jealous. So there. Congrat yourself on that instead of feeling bad.

As I was feeding one of my infant grandsons last night, I couldn't help but think of you and another gay couple I know who are expecting their first child via a surrogate. It's amazing how much love there is in the world especially for children. It's hard to believe that so many grow up unloved. You just told us about two who were likely not loved. Of all people, a judge should never use poor judgment. And what loving person would ever attack another's reputation just because they can?

Now you know how I feel when I post in the Soapbox and I watch my rep tumble.

Not Exactly Matt, but you get a "+" for the comment Hopefully you don't get some one who every day gives you five "-" just because. Then you'd know how I feel.

Your hot-headedness just makes you sexier. When my positive points restore (evidently I've used up my daily allotment) I'll help you out.

Going a bit out of order, but here it goes...

I know a judge like that around here... he's an asshole among other not so nice words... and he doesn't like to be called on the carpet (long story lol).

I'm glad things are working out on the surrogate side... I check here as much as I can to get the baby update

Also whoever neg reped you is a moron. 'Nuff said.

Eric

@Cia: Yup and Mike says it looks like a puppy right now - so did all the 'dog people' he hangs out with at the dog show and dog park. Funny how all my soccer friends didn't see it but the dog folks did

@Nephy: With this Judge I said a lot worse, but sadly such is as it is. And yes, the rep thing, it is stupid, as is the person doing it, whomever it is, ah well, take all the points they want, I know it's just one asshole now

@Maria: Ten weeks blew by SO fast. I was like: really??? I was thinking, yeah it's not close yet, then the office asked for leave requests through the end of August and I was like oh man. It excites and scares the crap out of me at the same time. Thanks for stopping by

@Mike: I have this image of Grandpa Mike holding his 4th grandson and it gives me this huge smile and a chill. I see my dad doing this - it will be his 4th grandchild but it is still the same. Grandmothers get all the press but grandfathers are affected even more. No one expects them to be all gaga over the baby but they almost always are. Thanks for the note

@Mark: Dude you can't say things like that, if Mike reads it he'll be all over me - did I forget to mention he is possessive AND jealous??? No worries on the rep thing, just took me a couple days to get over being pissed.

@Eric: Thanks - yeah I had one of those in my first Job too - every where seems to have em. Sad it is so hard to remove them once they get in and start abusing their power. As for the Baby, more than half way through the first trimester. Now that it is 'real' I spent half the weekend sorting through my finances to get things in order as payments are now starting to come due. Good practice for the - Dad can I have $XX# for tonight - I am sure to get all too soon. Rep thing is meh, eventually they'll get caught, last laugh will be mine. Already is.

Mike's never heard of threesomes?

The other thing that's interesting, on this "rep" thing, is that some people will dis a story with the star ratings. It's a lot more subtle, and since their rating gets morphed with the others it's not so obvious. I guess having haters is a mark of success.

Heard of yes, willing to share? Not a chance. For some reason he keeps mistaking me for someone hot - good thing love is blind because I am SO dating out of my league on so many levels

Here's to having enemies - Matt (Tetrefine) said Winston Churchill said it was a sign you stand for something - when I figure out what I stood for that got me my enemy I'll let you know.

Wow, I just saw your having a baby! congrats to you both
