Why have we been rooting for Hitler?Hey @MWV, you ever going to pay that traffic ticket?
I was going to start a Go Fund Me for that...Hey @MWV, you ever going to pay that traffic ticket?
A classic! Photo taken circa 2007-2008 via Citizens Bank of Northern California after I took over as the manager of the Penn Valley branch. Best people I ever worked for, other than working for myself.I haven't seen this posted anywhere, so I'll post it here. This is a nice business headshot of Mr. Vickers.

Why are you still here? It’s embarrassing.A classic! Photo taken circa 2007-2008 via Citizens Bank of Northern California after I took over as the manager of the Penn Valley branch. Best people I ever worked for, other than working for myself.
Embarrassing for who? For me to be embarrassed would require me to care what a group of literal nobodies (not an insult, but almost everyone here is anonymous) think about me.Why are you still here? It’s embarrassing.
Does Faith have any plans for college?Embarrassing for who? For me to be embarrassed would require me to care what a group of literal nobodies (not an insult, but almost everyone here is anonymous) think about me.
Consider, please, that in the very rare occurrences that I post here, there's always a purpose, and it has worked to accomplish my goals literally 100% of the time.
So have you made any long-term goals for the infant? Will you take him on as the burden on your shoulders or just assist in the nurturing process and finding the right schools and making sure he's properly fed? I have to imagine that you do have some sentiment as it is your flesh and blood even still considering the other half coming from the worst genetic source imaginable.Embarrassing for who?

I’m sure reminiscing on KF about an old job is an integral strategic element of your 8D underwater chess here. Your time would be better spent caring for your grandson, preparing for trial, attending family therapy, or doing literally almost anything but posting here about inconsequential bullshit while your daughter’s life lies in ruin with her worst choices preserved publicly and permanently. It’s not a matter for jolly internet comments, and I say that as someone who’s not even related to her.Consider, please, that in the very rare occurrences that I post here, there's always a purpose, and it has worked to accomplish my goals literally 100% of the time.
Yes. She wanted to start part time for fall semester, but we all talked it over and thought waiting until spring would be better as Xander approaches 1 year old. Schedules are more manageable with that age range once they sleep through the night, don't have to eat every 2 hours, don't have to be changed every 5 minutes, etc.Does Faith have any plans for college?
Xander is Faith's child. Mrs. V and I are here for support and counsel. That's the same role our parents took as grandparents, and it is the role we intend to take. The only time that role would change is in the event that we felt Xander was in very serious danger, and to date, that has not been the case. He's a healthy, happy baby with a ton of personality and absolutely adored by everyone. Was it my ideally imagined situation to becoming a grandparent? Of course not. But when that little guy lights up with smiles and laughter when his four uncles surround him...it's really hard to feel negative.So have you made any long-term goals for the infant?

Xander is well cared for. Prepare for what trial? Family therapists don't usually have appointments on Sunday.Your time would be better spent caring for your grandson, preparing for trial, attending family therapy.
My perspective is exactly the opposite, but you are certainly allowed your opinion. A year ago this time, I had a very real fear that my daughter would be dead. And while there is work to be done, for her and all of us, she is alive (a life hardly in ruin, as you would suggest). How could I feel anything BUT jolly given the possible alternative.while your daughter’s life lies in ruin with her worst choices preserved publicly and permanently.

Good, hopefully Faith can get through school and past the Guntermale.Yes.

Didn't you serve Ralph in Vegas a few days ago?Prepare for what trial?
Is it true you wanted to give the Demon Baby up for adoption? Awhile ago you mentioned you grew to like the poor bastard.Yes.

Mrs. V and I are a team. Have been for over 23 years. No one is happy with the HOW or the WHY these recent events have unfolded. But if the choices are to wallow in shame and self-pity over what has been a blink in an otherwise great life, or move on and make the best of an unfortunate situation, we choose the the latter.@MWV just a quick follow up question: is Mrs. Vickers on the same page with you in this situation? Like is she begrudgingly accepting the situation, still very upset by what happened to Faith, or absolving herself of the situation since it's beyond her control? I would imagine there's some disappointment as any decent human being with empathy wished they could make the outcome different. At least little Xander will have a proper Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.
My comment in that e-mail of "I've grown quite fond of him" I thought would be obviously read as tongue-in-cheek. He's my grandson...of course I'm fond of him.Is it true you wanted to give the Demon Baby up for adoption? Awhile ago you mentioned you grew to like the poor bastard.
I think that's quite an extraordinary amount of cope, Vickers.My perspective is exactly the opposite, but you are certainly allowed your opinion.

I am not a party on any upcoming legal matters.Didn't you serve...?
On the bright side, at least he will grow up very close with his grandparents, and uncles (who would probably be seen more as brothers in a few years)... Many children start off in worse households and with less support than that.Mrs. V and I are a team. Have been for over 23 years.

Xander will be seven months old for his first Christmas. That's a great age.

I absolutely suggested, BEFORE Xander was born that adoption, in my opinion would be the best thing for the baby. This was while Faith was still pregnant. A two-parent household is better than a one-parent household. However, it was never a legally-tenable plan, the comment was made once in the course of a family discussion driving to Tahoe for a weekend, and the ladies in the car (Faith and Mrs. V) pretty much handed me my ass for the opinion, and it was the last time I brought it up.
I certainly never suggested it AFTER Xander was born.
