Yep. They still have the corps. When we were at Homecoming wife saw a couple of former students. One is a freshman in the corps.
Later folks. I'm gonna go watch the game.
I'll be back later to either cry or celebrate.
I know you do, and I appreciate that...but it's one of the reasons I was so hesitant to post that thread about Andy...and why I offered as much info as I could. I want to be as open and truthful as possible. Without giving out too much of the family's personal info online, of course.
You could lie and probably get onto a jury...
I got rejected for my one jury duty. They didn't even call us for questioning, the people decided to settle. And I was glad because I got paid by the hour... and had classes. Someday I'd love to do jury duty, though.
oh yeah... that's a great idea... perjure muhself tuh git intuh court... nuhthanks doll...
thought about that... just put "self employed" tho...
speakin' of which, can yuh freepmail me Andy's address at WRMC?... thanks darlin'...
Evenin' everybody! [sip]
Jury duty... I did that just last February for a week. It was a hoot. Actually got seated on a case. Arson. She was "guilty as hell, your honor..." :-)
Well, there are ways to lie without directly lying. Just, you know, don't mention the little Marine thing. Or the homeschool gun safety thing. Play up the substitute teacher role...
when I was a company commander, muh 1stSgt hadda chastise me when I yelled atta Marine/derelict during NJP that if'n he wasn't a guilty bastige he wouldn't be standin' in front of me... should I mention that at jury selection?...
That call WRT the dog really *does* sound creepy.
Maybe instead of telling her that the owner was found... just say that the dog got out and didn't come back.
Good evening!
I've had a decent amount of Baileys this evening. Maybe Mondays aren't allllll bad.
I should be writing. But right now, I hate my characters. On the other hand, perhaps that means I should start writing some gralloching into the plot...
Odds are she won't even show, if she isn't legit, and I don't think she is.
I should be writing, too, but I'm not in the mood.
Dad and sisters and I went for some Hibachi food (Japanese table-side cooking. Steak bits. Yum). I ate the whole thing with chopsticks which is, for me, an achievement.
so... I shouldn't mention muh gun vault... or the 20,000 primers and Idunnohowmany lbs of smokeless powder... or the thousands of cartridges that are in muh basement?...
Um, no, don't mention those at all or Janet Reno will be knocking on your door...
And if she does show... we have a plan.
mmmmmmm.... gralloching...
nuthin' like offal scattered all around tuh liven up a story line...
hehehe... not if you wanna get seated. :-)
I was surprised at the group that got seated for the jury I was on. On the whole it was a pretty good jury. Lotsa smart people. One guy was even a retired cop-- he said he never thought he'd get on.
The deliberations were also really high quality discussion. We only took three hours, and we were all pretty much for guilty from the start, but we still took it very seriously and reviewed the whole trial and ispected all the evidence... and made *sure* that we all *really* thought she done it.
It really did a lot of good for my confidence in the system.
Mmm...sounds good. We don't have any Japanese restaurants locally...closest is about an hour and a half away.
We have the Thai place, which is good but a little pricey, and several Chinese places, which are dreadful. They get condemned regularly.
