And I am worried that your aim is getting better. for those taking notes.. See, The great "Yo, Sweet Cheeks.. You Me Sushi" Line has worked yet again!!..

Hmm.. are you talking RuSan's, or this great little place you know in Tokyo? Your choice.

Seriously.. A Guy asks you out. Takes you to Taco Bell.. And you are not thinking What a Loser?? Seriously I expected a more real answer from you.

Hey Sweet Cheeks.. YOU ME Sushi. Whadda you say?

If I know peanut.. Drinking and scaring the wuffos.

Gee, i had a great time when we went out a few months ago and it only cost you a club sammich at the truck stop and a bottle of Absolut...guess i'm a cheap date. But it was a VERY nice Truck Stop and I did offer to take you to the Strip Club afterwards.

So THAT explains it!! So you are saying that my typical: "Yo, Sweet Cheeks... YOU ME Sushi.. Whadda you say??" Isnt always the best way to ask a girl out? I knew I must be doing something wrong.

The first Shart isnt generally the problem. It is the Next one that is really going to leave you in an awkward situation..

Spin off from another thread. How much does a typical first Date Cost? I fully realize that it doesn’t have to cost anything and generally creative dates are better anyway. Ladies.. A Guy asks you out to dinner and you accept. What are your expectations? Guys.. You ask someone out to dinner and they accept, how much do you think you will drop on the night? (Assuming you really like this girl and the evening is going well for both of you)

The only single brother I have is extremely intellectually challenged and no where near as attractive as he thinks he is. Sorry, I couldn’t do that to ANYONE. Kinda like a defective Barbie Doll that really wasnt that cute to begin with.

Keep in mind you are only getting one side to this story. Harrassment and other such things will only make things worse if you friend ever does get this before a judge. The High road is always a good place to be. Get a Lawyer, Let them handle it. Anything else generally only makes things worse.

Dinner for two at a reasonable (Date worthy) resturant.. $80 to $100 if you dont order wine.. A bottle of wine and add $40. A Movie afterwards for two.. another $30 to $60 depending on how big the Popcorn is. Bar Tab for a drink afterwards.. Wuffo Chick - Another $40 easily.. SkyChick - Add Another $100 (But usually worth it). You can obviously get away a lot cheaper but these costs look fairly reasonable/normal to me.

Thank her. She was honest. It may sting a little but better to know that she isnt interested before you drop a couple hundred on a night out and get your hopes up. I cant stand the ones that dont say no. There are lots more out there. Now you know to quit wasting time on this one.

I agree too.. Only it is the opposite in my case. I hate talking on the phone but MUCH prefer it to trying to type a message on a number pad. Take 5 seconds to call and ask a question. It would take at least 5 minutes (Usually much longer) for me to type any message on a number pad. For You or Billy, I completely understand texts but for anyone else Texting is usually a waste of time and generally annoying. Got a Question? Call and Ask. I will answer. End of call. Chatting and/or Catching up should be done in person and preferably over a cold beverage. There are a few (VERY Few) that I will occasionally respond to via text but even then I cant help but to think this would be so much quicker and easier to just call. Most of friends know what happens if they text me (It is not Pretty.. Well.. Except for Divot.. He keeps texting anyway cause I think he likes the picture)

I was in Vegas all Last week. I could not agree more about the Penn & Teller Show at the Rio. Best Bang for the Buck in Vegas in my opinion. Great Show and not as overly priced as some of the others. Try Half-Price Tickets/Tix4Tonight if you want to see a show. Find one of their location sand get there right before 10:00am when they post what tickets they have for that night. Also one more piece of advise.. Stay away from the Craps Tables. While it is mathematically improbable that someone can make close to 100 attempts to get a run going on various craps tables over a 4 day period and never hit a single point.. I did prove that it was possible on my trip.

So you didn't discuss how you were to share finances *before* you entered a lease together? Nice. BTW, just a pet peeve - the only man who's ever referred to me as a female without causing me to cringe was the paramedic who was bringing me into the hospital. If my boyfriend ever used that term to describe me ... ick. That’s right!! Use the proper terminology!! The correct designation for Split Tails is either Chicks or Women depending on the Hotness factor. OK, I will go back into hiding now

Todays Life Lesson: If it Floats, Flys or Fucks... It is ALWAYS cheaper to rent.

Actually Andy gave the only correct answer in my opinion: No one should take chances with their right to be involved in their Childs life or depend on an Ex to “Do the right thing”. Hire the best lawyer you possibly can. Sell whatever you can and finance the rest if needed. Whatever it takes but get a Lawyer.

a) Stop paying Support right NOW. Not another dime. (It isn’t even child support technically, he is just giving money to the ex.) b) Give that money to a Lawyer so that he can actually get some rights. Right now he has NONE and the fact he is giving her money will not mean squat to a court. c) Stop all communication with the Mother. It will not do him any good and generally only make things worse as emotions take over on both sides. Let the lawyers do their job. 16 years ago, My petition to legitimize only cost me about $1500 and the lawyer took payments from me. Best money I ever spent. Let the courts set the rules then you have something to go on. Till then all he is doing is making things worse in trying to deal with a bitter Ex.

He is. Does he have any form of custody agreement that has been signed by a Judge right now? Has a Court Ordered him to pay Child Support?

Every state has different laws. He is in for a long expensive battle no matter where he is. Here area few sad facts.. Child support and Child Custody/Visitation are completely separate issues in most states. In otherwords, Simply paying Child Support does not guarantee Visitation and Visitation right cannot be withheld for failure to pay child support. The courts will almost always side with the mother in any of these cases. He needs to talk to a Lawyer in his area to find out what his options are. I was in a very similar situation when my daughter was Born. Her mother and I were never married and had split up before she even found out she was pregnant. I started paying child support before my daughter was even born. After a couple years, My ex played this same game with me and told me I couldn’t see my daughter. I got a lawyer and we first filed a Petition to Legitimize with the court and requested that the court set Child Support and Visitation at that time. Once I had a Court Order stating what my rights were, I could then make sure I had my visitation. Without that, I basically had absolutely no rights at all. If the mother moves away, in some states there is nothing the non-custodial parent can about that other than travel to wherever the mom moves to pick up their child at the set times. Your friend has a tough road ahead, I wish them the best. It is VERY difficult for non-custodial Parents in most states that want to part of their children’s lives.

Given recent history, no doubt, the VP. Do you honestly think Bill would have listened to Al over Hillary? I dont.

When that "Husband" happens to be the President.. Either could do alot of damage. Which do you think would have more real influence on a sitting president?? The VP or The First Lady?

Agreed. But do NOT for one minute underestimate the Power of the First Lady. She is the absolute TOP presidential advisor. I would certainly hope that a President would have a lot of respect for the opinions of someone he chose to marry. Besides.. As President, He has an entire Kitchen Staff to make Sammiches and Interns for everything else. Telling her Husband that he is wrong is about the only wifely duty a First lady has left.

I think any REAL Man(tm) would do what ever he could make his wife happy (And vise versa). First and foremost that can be accomplished by LISTENING to her. Noone quite has the ear of the President like the first lady does. Pussywhipped?? Not necessarily.
