Two or three (I've lost track) more trials dates in May have been cancelled. I'm hoping to be able to schedule trial date #8 some time in June. The trial will not be held before October.
I'm representing myself now. You know what they call a client like me?
A few more of the sordid details are listed in my post on the members forum.
I read your updates on Members. You’ve really been through it haven’t you, Quinn? What a mess.
>>I'm representing myself now. You know what they call a client like me?<<
I’ve heard it said that a man who represents himself has a fool for a client. In this case, though, it sounds like you’re finally going to get some decent representation.
>>This is starting to get ridiculous.<<
It’s ridiculous to the nth degree. I hope it all works out for you.

... and he's tired ... and he never got that promotion to appelate court judge that he was hoping for and he if doesn't feel like dividing up pots and pans he bloody well won't divvy up pots and pans
Divorce was granted a year after filing in July 2004 (trial date # 3). However, the petitioner was unable to join us and so custody and property division were not addressed.
>>.... well .... hindsight is 20/20.<<
>>Not my hindsight. I look back and everything’s still a blur<<
LOL. Yeah. Know what you mean. Every once in awhile something in the distant past comes into focus for me, but not for very long. Some day, it will all be revealed in crystal clear kodachrome, I'm sure.
Do you ever get the feeling that you might know as much as those non-practicing attorneys?
Geez. I think you and a couple people from the boards could write a little manual on what to look for in an attorney, and how to go about gettin divorced.
Quinn,
So sorry to read that you are still going through the mill with this 'here thang'
As per my birthday post I have my 'head to head' tomorrow lets see what stbxh has to say, The depths of his deciect have been outstanding and awesome. I really am bowing to a past master.
Good luck with the self representation.

>>>Some day, it will all be revealed in crystal clear kodachrome, I'm sure.<<<
It’ll make you think all the world’s a sunny day, oh yeah.
RW, I read that manual you tried to get started on divorce and the legal system. I now know more than I ever dreamed possible about exploding kippers in the microwave (what the hell is a kipper?) If you’d like to include a chapter on burning the kitchen using nothing but a deep fat fryer, a bottle of Karo syrup, a head of lettuce, and a bag of un-popped corn, just let me know. Now there’s a kodachrome memory.
Yeah, I said that for the first year. I was done with the opposite sex (or the same sex, this is SF, after all!). And now, proudly past year two, I've got a diamond and a date. And that hindsite? It's no clearer, but I went digital for the future which is where I'm lookin' these days.
Congratulations!!! I've done a lot of soul searching about getting re-married. I don't see any point in it at this stage of my life. I sacrificed the last 25 years for my H and sons. I rarely did anything for myself.
I can now go where I want when I want, eat what I want, watch what I want, say what I want. The huskies don't mind watching Desperate Housewives,
Besides, my parents didn't set a good example for marriage, (SEVEN marriages between the two of them). And that doesn't count the "friends".
I wish all the people here who have new relationships and marriages the BEST. I can live vicariously.
When is the big day? Will you go on a honeymoon? What kind of cake? Please don't have it made with tofu! LOL
>>And now, proudly past year two, I've got a diamond and a date. And that hindsite? It's no clearer, but I went digital for the future which is where I'm lookin' these days<<
Ya gotta love a success story. You keep going digital, Miss Misha.
>>I sacrificed the last 25 years for my H and sons. I rarely did anything for myself<<
We're not gonna do that anymore, right? We're gonna go, say, and do what we want, now. No more reckless self-sacrifice. If we don't want tofu in the wedding cake, well then there's gonna be no daggum tofu in the wedding cake.
For one thing, how would the frosting stick to the cake?
For another thing, wouldn't the little Mr. & Mrs. on the top sink right into a quagmire of bread and tofu? That shouldn't be happening AT the wedding...it should wait a few years, shouldn't it?
I'm with MM. Yay for "all y'all" (my Texan niece tells me that means "all of you") who find spouse #2. I ain't lookin' anytime soon. 20+ years of (failure to perform to) secret "honey-do" lists has me gun-shy.
Chris.

Wow, Misha Congrats!!!!
I'm really happy to hear it.

ps I'd marry again, but there is NO hurry :>) but it is only because I realize that I was married to the most selfish person in the world and the current Mr. Nice Guy has certainly made me realize how good they can come. I just had no idea :>)
I appreciate the good wishes. No tofu in the cake. Tofu is only good in Thai noodles and Thai noodles do not a wedding cake make. (OMG - Yoda speech disease!) Actually I'm leaning towards ice cream cake. We're getting married over the Labor Day weekend which is usually pretty warm in the Bay Area. The other choice is a croquembouche, or creme puff pile. Or, what the heck, let's do both. By the time we get to cake, I won't be fretting about fitting into the blinking dress, either.
