Life has hit a low spot for me. The wife filed for divorce a couple of years ago. I have two kids that she is trying to steal from me, and asking me for 28% of my salary, along with paying for health insurance, daycare, and a lawyer for her, a lawyer for the kids and a 604 evaluation. Now on top of that my computer has gone kaput and I have no music to listen to (because I sold my vinly collection in trying to pay for my divorce/child custody case). My bank account has cobwebs and today the water company came and shut off my water. My gas and electricity will be soon to follow. Then after that, probablly homelessness. This is no joke. I dont even have internet (I'm at the freakin library right now, sitting next to a man who makes Hickman look like a twig and who smells undescribably terrible...and I think he knows I'm typing something about him right now). Anyway, as some of you know. Old Acey-boy has gotten out of many a pickle in his day. Things look bleak right now, but I'm a fighter. I'm gonna mount a comeback, and if any of you sombies out there have a suggestion for a man who is down on his luck, I'd like to hear it.

brainstorm could give you a few tips iam sure.

The darkest hour is just before dawn.

This too, shall pass.

God doesn't give you more than you can handle.

*platitudes 101*

Go fuck yourself.

Oh wait, no, that was too harsh.

Ace, I'm truly sorry any woman ever thought your moronic use of outdated lingo such as "sheeple" was endearing enough that she'd willingly consent to bring your spawn into this world. I'm sorry she finally realized whatever growth potential she thought you had was only the barest, bitterest hope after you turned out to be occasionally tolerable company, and I am deeply sorry that she listened when her Mom said, "Y'know, dear, you ain't gettin' any younger...."

I'm sorry you decided you didn't need your meds and that running a blog dedicated to the most boring, pedestrian music ever conceived by humanity didn't pay off and make you wealthy beyond your dreams.

And I am woefully, tragically sorry I won't be able to tip you when you drop off my pizza Friday night.

There. Was that better?

good luck ace. my prayers are with you buddy. you should probably take that money you were gonna use on a new computer and pay for, oh, i don't know, a few years worth of monthly water bills.
candles. lots of candles.
get used to eating cold ravioli. it ain't so bad.

What the hell? I thought Kory Clarke was an off-the-wall replacement, but Ace?! Cripes!

Fucking greedy-consumer-capitalist BITCH!

Hey man, homelessness is a CHOICE.

Stop your frickin belly-aching.

Don't know about your specific legal case but... those things go on and cost as much as you allow them to. Get something straight, your wife is not taking 28% of your salary, your are paying for the upkeep and maintenance of your children. Custody battles are rough, and being the dad, you are certainly at a disadvantage.

My advice, get out of the library and do some work that you so often talk about.

Life is a battle. Those that lose, die.

I smiled

Well played, sir.

This is karma for all of the subpar boarding you've subjected us to.

Is OP serious? I thought he was a troll.

Hang tough, bruh. Either way.

Who gives a shit. W/e.

Sell advertising on your blog. You could make tens of dollars.

I have almost all the people on this thread on ignore.
I'm pretty sure I'm not missing anything.

Guess what, I'm in worse shape than you, so quit you're whining. I've never had a girlfriend proper, let alone a wife, and I've never had credit nor will I ever be approved for it. Also, to the asshole you deleted my post in the Brett Farve thread, fuck you!

Not anything of note, no. Ace is still a message board poster, but now he can't afford to be. World turns and shit, ya know.

ace that fucking sucks dude

hope you got some good karma saved up

Obviously. After all, he allows you to exist.

I love the way you pretend to take umbrage - since almost no one on the board gives a fuck what you think or say, I know you get a three-inch erection every time I comment.

Three step plan for Ace:

1. Stop whining and start working.
2. Read Coolrock's cancer thread, then see if you still feel like bitching.
3. Stop whining, start working.

if i lost my job and family i would probably still feel like bitching even if some stranger had cancer

I'm sure. It's what separates winners from losers.

nah

No, whipping people with shame is what separates winners from losers. Everyone's pain is relative - winners don't have some extra capacity for compassion such that they can make themselves feel better by minimizing their problems compared to someone else. Masochistic assholes, maybe, and shame-ridden Catholics, but winners? Not really,no.

What disqualifies Ace from being entitled to feeling morose is that he complains about having to pay to take care of his kids. If you want to impress a judge into giving you your kids, Ace buddy, pay the motherfucking child support and shut up. If you love your kids, you support them, without question or objection. Period. No middle ground; no shade of grey. If you love your kids to the extent you'd battle your wife for custody, then you love 'em enough to cough up the cash for their well being. Anything else is just more of your patented bullshit.

Yeah, with multiple kids 28% sounds about right.
As for attorneys. She should have to pay for her own. No need to have one for the kids or yourself.
As long as you get the standard every Wednesday night (overnight) and every other weekend along with first dibs on vacation dates, every other year holidays. As for monetary assets if it's split 50/50. She should keep the house (if you own one) but she should buy out a good portion of what you've put in.
If her lawyer draws up paperwork close to that then you don't need a lawyer. No sense in fighting for anything more. Women have the upper hand and what you don't want is two lawyers battling it out on the clock. Especially in a losing cause.

You should also bury yourself in work, find a part time job if you need to. Show your kids that you're a good person and show yourself and others that you're a stand up guy. What your initial post sounds like is far from that.

Maybe spend less time here too

I spend a few hours thinking hard about this thread last night, and I've come to the conclusion that the best way for us to help Ace would be for everyone to put him on ignore.

OTM

See and I thought you were a dissolute asshole/borderline troll.

You're still an ass, but a moral ass.

Oh, I definitely am. Don't be fooled.




The dubiosity of the achievement stuns even me.

Please fill us in on all of the details on your marriage going south.

Try this:

It's surprising to see long time boarders get sucked into something this obvious.

No shit, I can't believe I posted in an Ace thread, or even read one for that matter. But it came on the heels of hearing several healthy and capable people over the course of the last week bitch and moan about their lives, and wait for someone to give them a hand out.

And btw, I was referring to whining as the thing that separates winners from losers. And if this wasn't Ace, I might not be so abrasive, but I'm going to get real tired of working my ass off to pay for people like Ace who are trolling the SOMB instead of looking for a better job.

Would love to hear Rush Limbaugh rant about taxdollars being wasted so illegals can troll a Jim Derogatis fan site.

Not calling you Limbaugh, Loblaw.

Thank you.

No offence, but you know nothing about my situation. Therefore your attempt at helpful advice to me means nothing. That and the fact that I am much smarter than you and for me to take your advice would be like LaBron James taking basketball tips from Connie Chung.

since he is probably the 2nd biggest loser on this board, I am sure he knows alot about your situation.

It isn't advice: It's simple fact. That you can't tell the difference argues strongly in my favor that you're a worthless, self righteous piece of scum whose kids will grow up wishing they had a Dad around, until they spend ten minutes with you, and then they'll be mad that Mommy didn't remarry.

No, its advice. You say "if you want to impress the judge...blah, blah, blah". Since this is something that has not yet happened, then it cannot be fact. It is simply advice. A fact would be something like this: "KissTheFloor is not a smart person and he has a face I'd like to punch." See the difference now, Shit4Brains?

BTW, I've recently found that one of the great pleasures in spending time on the internet at the library is passing silent but deadly farts in the middle of a crowd and then pretending like you have no idea what is going on.
