    I don't know the whole story, but from what I understand, his ex was in jail for DUI and they both agreed outside of court to have the kids stay at his mothers house temporarily. His ex never informed the court this was arranged, even though he was paying g' ma directly, the old support accumulated to the point where a warrant was issued.
    Now I would say he is obviously in part( or wholly) to blame by not following up himself.
    But this is an effed up situation here. His wife had to pay a $15 visitation fee to visit him in jail for 5 minutes time. I've never heard of that.
    I don't understand out system sometimes.

    My daughter is in jail and we don't pay anything to see her but, that is in MI. I guess each state/county has their own way of doing things.

    I also have a son who doesn't take good advice about his child support and is very close to being locked up himself. Once the State/county issue an order for child support, that's it! You have to pay the payment, every week, for 18 years. When it fall's behind, they throw you in jail. Sure, I agree, jail doesn't make sense,,,how is he going to pay when he isn't making money? But, that is our system and I was on it once too, many years ago.. I got smart and took the kids from my ex so, I didn't have to pay child support anymore...lol I hope your friend gets his act together soon and things start going his way.

    Ok, I was misinformed . She had to pay $15 for a 5 minute phone call with him. He also had $40 on him upon arrest, somehow that came up missing after a county transfer. Yay govt.

    I discovered recently that I can't have too much coffee. Caffeine and I have a special relationship in that if too much is ingested, I feel funny. Like not right funny. All tingly in my face and kinda jittery. So my coffee intake is reduced. And I have had to switch to a citrus blend of green tea as well.
    I don't want to get into the consequences of too much milk right now, let's just say it isn't pretty, and there are a few hundred other things that are better than that result that I would prefer.

    If you're so inclined, check out http://mattressinsider.com/

    You'll have to measure your truck mattress because each one is custom cut; there is no "standard" truck mattress size. I bought one of their mattress pads because no matter how new a truck mattress is, it's still a pretty thin mattress. I put mine on top of the new mattress in my truck and never slept better.

    You aren't a sales rep are you? A paid actor endorsing this product?

    I actually have memory foam topper at home , but it's queen size. It really does make a difference. I don't want to mutilate that one to fit my truck, I may get a twin size to put on my current mattress .
    Im in Texas right now . I had a load to Dallas. At first I wasn't looking forward to it, thinking it would be another downtown street offload. Once I reached Irvine ave, I saw it was an industrial area I can easily fit into and get out of. After this I go deliver in Colorado.
    Dont forget kids ; it's chain season! Make sure you are carrying them from now until June1st .
    Im due home on Sunday, hope it works out that way. Salmon are running at home! Got to get a line in the water!
