Can you attach them like you did in the e-mail you sent me? I would think it would work.
And Steve M. I hope you can see that people are empathetic to your plight (at least I am for the sake of the animlas) but there is a difference betweem empathy and sympathy. We can empathize with you, but we do not sympathise for you. There are many, many things you could have done differently to keep the situation spiralling out of control.
It seems like your ex might have worked with you if you had talked with her before the courts filed a warrant on you. She knows that if you are incarcerated there is no chance of you bringing in income to pay off your debt and the courts do not usually file bench warrants for that very fact usless the other party is non-communicative.
I hope you have learned that waiting and ignoring problems does not make them go away.
I hope Chris (who I feel was just working in his capacity with and for animal control) is able to recoup his losses taking care of the animals that were left. I'm sure you feel better knowing that, at the very least, they were taken care of during the timeline involved here. Ideally they would have been with you, but they have been cared for and for that you should be greatful no matter how bad the taste in your mouth is.
If your landlord and the Burrough jumped the gun, I am sure the courts will take that into consideration in your case. Perhaps that is why this is taking so long and the wheels of justice are turning even more slowly than usual. I would take that as a good sign.
Rattler can empathize, but he does not condone what led to all this is the first place. You are not blameless, although I feel for you, I do believe that. If the laws changed in your state or county it was your responsibility to be aware of those changes.
I am constantly in contact with my DNR reps (who are the ones who notify us here) just in case a piece legislation was slid into another bill here or what-have-you. It is also your responsibility to keep up on your child support, although there may have been extenuating circumstances, someone felt it was necessary to have you incarcerated to recify that set of circumstances. Do you have a township trustee in your area? One of their capacity here is to help low income and small business keep their utilities on in times of hardship and mediate with landlords to keep the rents paid. You should have looked into a resource like that in your area. Relieveing the burden of those things might hav enabled you to catch up on your back taxes.
You could have brought your problems here so that we could have given you some of these suggestions before it was too late. (Hint, hint, that's what your friends are for- Goofy!
)
Rattler knows that. We all know that. We are your friends here, but we're not giving you a free pass, although we're not going to beat you up virtually either.
