[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 128087, member: 3579"] That [B]HAS[/B] to be the best (and most quoted) Monty Python gag line ever. One of my favorites... Oh, I love the scene where they finally get rid of the annoying Sir Robin, too. I have a few Sir Robins that I wish would find a similar fate. Thanks, Beth. That's my plan, even though it will stoke the firestorm at home. At this point, I don't feel obligated to provide ANY support to him at all. I've already cancelled his phone. If I could find his car, I'd lock it in the garage and pull the battery and alternator out of it. More importantly, I'm speaking with both the Prosecutor and his Diversion Officer this afternoon. In the beginning, I agreed to pay for his diversion fees, drug testing fees, and drug counselling fees if he would agree to take it seriuosly and make an effort. Well, that lasted about as long as it took for the ink to dry on the diversion agreement. ....So, I'm informing them that I will [B]NOT[/B] make the second and final supervision payment for diversion (400 bucks), nor will I be paying for any more drug tests. They need to make arrangements directly with him for those payments from now on. I'm also checking with my insurance to see if I can force McWeedy to be legally responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses that my policy doesn't pay for. I can't just drop him from my insurance policy (wife would kick me out for sure), but if I can find a way to make him pay the balance, then I will. Like I said, this will bring the firestorm. But I'm starting to think it was coming, anyway. Most likely, wife will try to find a way to pay for the things that I refuse to pay for, and that's when the true test begins. But Gen. Patton won most of his battles by starting (and finishing) them on his own terms, not the enemy's. I'm not saying that wife is the enemy, but this is surely a battle. Only, if I win, I win by keeping most (or all) of my family together. Doing nothing will lose my family; Dancer is already suffering and Sarge is withdrawing into his pre-medication chrysalis for the next few years, so, what do I have to lose? Thanks so much for everyone's suggestions. Mikey [/QUOTE]
