:( son is heading to Iraq for a year, and his wife is expecting in Sept.

 Just found out a few minutes ago.

I knew he was going to be deployed, was not sure when or where (he was going to Afghanistan originally). It has changed over time. Now I know.

And I did not know his wife was expecting (they have 2 kids). He asked if I could come out first week of April before he heads out, he will have a 4 day weekend. I can't afford to go - and I don't have a car that could make the trip even if I could afford the gas.

"How's things going? haven't talked to you in a bit. Been real busy at work getting ready to deploy in a few months. Was in the field this past weekend, got four days off this weekend and four days the first weekend in April. You should come down one that weekend and visit cause I'm not sure if I'm gonna get back up there before I leave for a year. We are expecting another baby in September, not sure if I told you already or not."

No, you didn't tell me. Your brother was here today with me and we called you. You didn't tell me. I don't even know if Zach knows yet. And he is getting ready to go back into the military himself.

I can't get there to see you - but I will save up and get there I hope when Alicia gives birth. She won't be able to handle having another child while you are away. If I have to walk to Ft. Hood, Texas I will get there.

Why are we still in these wars? Why don't have a job? If I could make enough to have a decent car and some gas, I would be there tomorrow - it is a 17hr drive to you. I would hug you before you go. I would hang out with my granddaughters while you were gone.

Your half sister, Hannah, misses you and I think she would understand if I came down there for a spell. She might only be 8, but she knows who you are and misses you.

End these wars now. Bring our kids home.


Sorry - just found out and needed to rant. Going to be a granddad again.
 

I expect all you DUmmies to give till it hurts.  Just like the last time he needed help and the last time and the last time and the last time ...

 He needs me, Hannah needs me. I can't be two places at once.

Nathaniel made it safe to CA, Zach is heading (back) into the military, and Hannah is only 8 and needs me here. I can't be all the places I need to be.

Damn I need a drink

Is this the whiny metrosexual boy whose wife left him for another guy, but they're still best friends and thinks it's okay to scare the crap out of their daughter by telling her mom is going to die of some as yet undiagnosed disease? Who wants to take said ex sky diving and was (supposedly) offered this great high paying job? Evidently emo angst overruled the obligation to man up and earn money to support his family.

This is the critical point where he needs an accomplice to make a sympathetic post asking for his PayPal account. An accomplice is absolutely essential for a successful DUmp scam. Otherwise DUmmies, who are accustomed to panhandling themselves, will just look the other way and let it slide. This is the point where DUmmy SS's skydiving scam, which was really promising, just fell to pieces. Without that weeping accomplice, the DUmmies will never pull the trigger and start shelling out their welfare money.

Don't let people tell you that you don't have any power - you do here on the net, my example

 Call it petty or stupid, I don't care. In the big scheme of things a recent issue I came across means nothing compared to the whole health care debate/unions/schools/etc and so on.

But it meant something to my little girl. While some battles may be small we can learn something from them.

And how to battle big companies, or even not so big ones.

Since moving back to Ohio my daughter has went through a lot, and I won't go into all of that.

One thing which she and I have enjoyed, and which has brought her untold joy, was a game I played with her online. Even when she was not here with daddy we could play online. She has worked on her character for over a year - and finally, recently, became a 'grandmaster'. A year+ of hard work. Whenever I could I bought her some in-game extras. I don't spend money on many things, but I did on this game for her.

She just bought a new house and outfit there - was so proud of herself. Her B-day is coming up, and with my unemployment was going to buy her some more in-game money. She had many friends online, played with me on the weekends - always helping out other kids when she could, as I do.

Then last night I got a message. She was banned from the game. She cried herself to sleep. All over a conversation she had with some friends online (and there are a plethora of kids there who will report other kids if you don't treat them how they want to be treated - her crime? She joked with a friend that she could 'hack' my account - IE, log into it - which she does at times to help her own character with quests. She just used the wrong terms).

8 years old. And they never even bothered to email me with any issues they might have had. Take my money? Sure - without a thought. They deleted her character and all the things she had bought, all her friend lists, her house, and she was left with zip.

I was not about to give in that easy. One strike and she was out? Not if I have anything to say about it - and there are other kids facing the same thing.

I created a facebook page for kids who were banned from there, found the twitter account for one of the VP's and posted to him, posted on their forums, emailed their support team (they don't take calls...).

Now I hear that if I make my case the founder of the game might re-instate her. Guess folks don't want negative press. They don't want to be seen as not so family friendly. Not sure if she will get her account back (if it was me I would just forget about it all) but I feel she should - and instead of just letting some company get away with something easily I fought back.

WE spend our money with these businesses - why shouldn't we use all tools at our disposal to try and get the best result?

If we don't stand up when we are pissed off - from credit card companies and banks to smaller companies - who will?

She invested her heart and soul, and my money (I don't have a dvr, or even a remote for my TV that someone gave me) in this - between her mom being sick, our divorce, her cats dying, etc, one of the things she looks forward to doing with daddy on weekends is playing together online (not to say we don't fish, etc).

She is 8. You can take away a whole year + from a little kid without so much as a thought and call yourself family friendly? And you think I won't call you out on it?

This is not the age of big money any more - it is the age of the little guy who can rally the troops online, social networking, and calling out companies and politicians.

You can pay for all the commercials you want - but more people will see folks online and how your company really is.

We might not have money, might not invest in your company so you might feel we don't have a voice, but like the hippies of the 60's we won't just sit around quiet while you run over us. We don't need superbowl ads. We have the web, we have message boards, blogs, facebook, twitter, etc - your voice is not the only one people will hear anymore.

From the big issues - to the small ones like I am talking about. Your corporations might be able to pay for ads now on issues and candidates - but your media is a dying dinosaur, and our media will hammer you.

We the people have a new press - and we will keep using it. For the little things, like what I am talking about with my daughter and her game, to the big things like health care and illegal wars where you send our kids to die over lies.

2. Well, now I am not so worried about it. Son is heading off to Iraq and his wife is expecting

 Just found out a bit ago.

Damn. I feel like beating my head on a wall right now.

But I know too what is important to my little girl is different than what is important to me and my oldest son.

I don't think I can balance it all too much longer. I just want my kids to be happy.

Oh woe is me.

4. Our dear TSS and family . . .

 wish I had more to give you and yours, wish I had more than words, more than wishes for a better world . . .
This evening I am tired and stupid. Even with everything I know, I don't quite understand how things turned out like this for good people like you and your sons. It's not right. I am not sure anything I will do can change it. I can only try anyway every day to put one foot in front of the other and to do whatever needs to be done for us.

Be well. Be with us. And goddess be with you and your family.

Not a chance without a helper. He needs to register an account for the kid, and use it to prime the money pump. The andyscam gave all would-be DUmp fleecers a roadmap.

That game sounds like the one the Las Vegas Lardass spends all his disability money on.

Well, well, well.  Thanks for this, Shadeaux, TSS is one of my pet DUmmies this year.   I never thought that second story would end, the whiny douchebag just went on and on and on.  Good point, Alpha about teaching the brat consequences. 

This middle-aged loser cannot afford fuel, but can spend vast sums of money on a goofy computer game.  I was decidedly uncomfortable reading him begging for gas money at the DUmp.  Keep em coming, TSS, I'm rooting for you to win.  For once in your life, you could win something.  Come on, champ!

So, your son is going to serve his country in a WAR, and you can't figure out a way to go see him?

The saddest part of this story, if true, would be that your son wants to see you. 

To make myself feel better, I am going to replay Dummies lie all the time in my head, so I don't feel sad for your sons, because hopefully your son doesn't care that much for you.
