just my experience but my father didn ' t want full custody , just wanted to see us sometimes . <| sep |> So I cannot get a restraining order on him preventing him from contacting employers , or harassing me via emailtextetc ? That sucks . NOTE I don ' t want to take time away from him . I want him to LEAVE ME ALONE . I just need to know how to accomplish that , legally . Ignoring him makes his behavior even worse . <| sep |> How is the mid ' 09 still running for you ? I have one as well but the battery went on it about a year ago I have to have it always plugged in or else it dies within 2 minutes and it has gotten very slow over the past year or so too . Great computer to have run this long so well though . <| sep |> You can ' t beat it , but you can certainly get close enough that it doesn ' t matter .
