We've TEMPORARILY lost our children

[Denis]

Sorry to hear this. Best wishes for getting them back quickly, and as unharmed as possible.

At the hearing, did you have counsel present, or represent yourselves?

[First Shirt]

Chris and Mel, you have my heartfelt sympathies, and my prayers. I almost lost custody of mine once, and know what you've been through so far.

We're all pulling for you!

I unfortunately had to represent myself and I got railroaded.

Insert long string of expletives here.

As the others said, good luck and let us know if we can help.

I'm currently setting things up with a Canadian lawyer that I've been in contact with since early 2008. We'll be retaining him and filing as soon as we can.

So there are two things (other than cash flow) that would help.

1. a place for me and Chris to stay in northern Washington while I appear at court. Preferably along the I-5 corridor, Bellingham or Blaine would be awesome.

2. a place to stash my firearms in northern Washington while I'm in Canada where I really should be able to defend myself, but am forced to be unarmed.

[Jennifer]

I'm so sorry guys. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

[Aglifter]

As far as defending yourself, at least years ago, it was pretty easy to bring a shotgun or rifle into Canada.

[Durham68]

Praying for you and yours.

[Precision]

My thoughts on the subject are not fit to print.

The judge sounds BRIBED not lazy.

And that is the most civil thing I can say there.

Chris and Mel, words fail me. I don't pray as a rule. But I will tonight.

[Aaron]

Well whidbey island is about 45 minutes from i-5 and we have a ferry nearby into Victoria. House is a mess and I'd need to consult the wife, but mi casa su casa

[Mud_Dog]

+1 to what the others said.

Not much I can add, but if I can help let me know!
