Welcome to the ZZLP, rock!
Damn!
First obvious question - has a paternity test been done?
If no, one needs doing.
If yes, the “father” needs a second test done completely supervised by personnel working to guarantee an accurate result. Point - if the Mom had a paternity test done, it might not be accurate.
The “father” might have been “cowed” or “buffaloed” into providing a home for the mother and child.
The “father” needs to be exceptionally careful going forward. He might face unfounded sexual assault charges from the mother and allegations that he’s assaulted the child.
Why is the mother moving her child from her father?
- He’s abusive to her, including sexual assault/rape
- He’s abusive to the child, including rape/sexual assault
- She wants to be near family
- She’s found a new honey
- She’s found a wealthier honey
- She’s hoping family/friends will take over caring for the child

Earl the Pearl deceased. 80 yrs old. Great pro career. Here's the NC connection.
Monroe rose to prominence at a national level at then-Division II Winston-Salem State University, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Under Hall of Fame Coach Gaines, Monroe averaged 7.1 points his freshman year and Monroe tells a story of when he wanted to return to Philadelphia as a freshman. Coach Gaines called Monroe's mother and after a stern talk, Monroe stayed in college.[8]
Monroe then averaged 23.2 points as a sophomore, 29.8 points as a junior and 41.5 points his senior year (1,329 points in that 1966–1967 season). During that 1966–1967 season, Jerry McLeese, a sportswriter for the Winston-Salem Journal, called Monroe's points "Earl's pearls."[9] Soon after, fans began to chant "Earl, the Super Pearl," and the nickname was born.[10][7]
In 1967, Monroe earned NCAA College Division Player of the Year honors, leading the Rams to the 1967 NCAA College Division Championship with a 77–74 victory over SW Missouri State in the Final.[10]
Overall, in his four years at Winston-Salem State University, Monroe averaged 26.7 points, with 2,395 total points in 110 games.[10] He remains the leading scorer in Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association basketball history.[11]
After he finished his collegiate career, Monroe graduated from Winston-Salem and passed the national teaching exam. Monroe was not selected to the 1967 USA Basketball Team to represent the country at the 1967 Pan-American Games after trying out. The 40-person committee failed to select both Monroe and fellow future Hall of Fame player Elvin Hayes.[12][7][13][14] Monroe has said that USA coaches said his style of play was "too street, too playground, too black." adding, "It has always left a very, very bad taste in my mouth."[5]

My doctor stopped asking for fasting. I am so glad about that.

About to smoke a piece of back bacon over applewood. It's been in a brine 6 days, rinsed and dried uncovered in the fridge overnight. I'll get it to 140- 160 inside, let it cool, refrigerate it again and slice tomorrow. If It do 140, it'll need a little more cooking before eating. If 160, it's a finished product. It can be fried but doesn't have to be.

Well, today I learned about a new concept, Kessler Syndrome. Thanks a lot Elon Musk.
Link: The Imminence of the Destruction of the Space Program
Short version: Kessler Syndrome - Where a collision between objects in low Earth obit results in a cascading chain reaction that pretty wipes everything in low Earth Orbit.

The swedish are intelligent car manufacturers.
My daughter came home from college over the Thanksgiving holiday. Her driver's side, front turn signal bulb had burned out and she asked me to replace it. On most new cars, replacing any of the front bulbs is a pain in the ass. My wife's SUV, if you follow the manufacturer's rules, has to have the front bumper removed to replace the headlamp. My car requires, at a minimum, the removal of the air filter assembly to replace the headlamp.
I figured it was going to be a pain in the ass job, so I decided to replace the headlamp and the turn signal since I was already going to be in there. She has a Volvo S60.
It took me about 10 seconds to remove the entire headlight assembly. All that was required was to remove what could best be described as plastic tent stakes and to disconnect the wiring harness. That's it. I was able to take the whole assembly into the garage and easily replace all the bulbs.

Fell for a parking lot scam this weekend in Miami. In the Wynnwood which has a general lack of parking as it’s become popular. Pull into a lot with a few empty spaces after circling the block. SJO signs about the rate so I pull in, struggle to squeeze in. Four passengers get down from the vehicle as I saunter from the vehicle to the pay station. From a distance it says $16…. A little steep but okay. As I get closer, I read the much smaller print below…$16 per hour plus municipal tax, 2 hour minimum. Fuck, do I load everyone back up and keep looking for the elusive spot? I paid $40 for parking.
Later I realized I should have bit the bullet and paid for a valet service.

I remember watching this in the theater; and, thinking, “Just because you can do something digitally, that doesn’t mean you should.” Similar to LOTR “Return of the King” with the scrubbing bubbles and the “Eye of Sauron” and the collapse of Barad-Dur. Even worse than several digital segments of Two Towers and Return of the King were the farcical digital scenes in The Hobbit. Done just because they could do it.
Back to Gravity, digital scenes done just because they could be done.
