garnet80 I couldn't believe that he was gone when I heard. He is so young and the world has lost a very talented young man. I feel for Michelle even though they are not together any more and especially for his daughter.

Do you share a checking/savings account?

amaleigh73 @amaleigh73 (499) • United States 16 Jan 08

I've been hearing about married couples that have separate bank accounts and whatever they make go into their own account. They consider it "their" money? I'm not sure what I think about that. My husband and I share our accounts....

garnet80 Girl Scouts is meant to encourage kids to get out and about not to sit on their bottoms and be couch potatos. What is the world coming too when they are handing out badges like that.

garnet80 That is so sad I don't know how someone could do that. They must feel sad surely by what has happened. I don't know if there is a way to track down the birth Mother, I hope there is. Maybe they'll find out by a DNA test or something. It's so sad.

garnet80 She walked out. So she made the choice to leave your child behind. I don't think you are wrong to want full custody. She was in the wrong by cheating. But for you child's sake let her see him occassionally so the child doesn't feel resentful or feel that they...
