Judge Judy might not have the "Basic Instinct" I have.. She would be giving the EMT's orders instead of batting her eyelashes at them, when they are approaching with the Jaws of Life.. You have to know when to hold them and when to fold them..

Habs, remember the famous quote from Westy: "If you can believe them....". LOL

So, Gran, you're saying it's all in the way we cross our legs...?? Okkkkay. I'm listening. Judge Jude (sic) could bat her eyelashes but she'd still have that grin that says "I'm gonna KILL you, suckah!". The jaws of life might accidentally snap shut. Oops!!

Jury duty.. Ugh! Last time I got jury duty, they asked if I was a member of the military (I was at the time.) they also asked if I supported the death penalty (I do.) they looked at me and let me go. They haven't asked me to do jury duty since.
Threads that are Golden don't break easily

It was done. He was the last left alive out of his group of friends. He'd just thrown first earth on the last one. Suicide, supposedly. He knew the real reason, though. With him being the last, he knew She'd come. Just like last time. Just like every time. He snorted. The memories came, unbidden, and he saw days gone by:

1981. He was only five or six. He was out in the back yard when he'd spotted a woman looking at him. She was tall, pale white skin with green eyes.. and the blackest hair he'd ever seen. She wore a somewhat antique looking black dress. Being young, he had no fear of strangers. So he'd spoken with her.
"Who are you?"
She'd smiled and looked at him. "You wouldn't understand yet." To his amazement, she'd turned and left. Later, his grandfather would die.
1988. He was two weeks from his thirteenth birthday when he saw her again. He had just gotten a bicycle and was out riding it. He was trying to hook into a 'j' turn when she appeared. To his surprise, the world seemed to move in slow motion. She waved at him. He tried to turn, but the handlebars locked. The look of surprise on his face was probably Kodak perfect. He vaguely heard a van accelerating hard to his right.
"I'm gonna die." he was heading for a steep drop off at top speed. Some choice, van, or a fall...
"I'm not here for you yet." she said with that odd smile. He hit the curb and shot skyward, the van passed, and he plummeted earthward. Yet it was all moving so slowly... He closed his eyes as he fell. He knew he was upside down. He knew he was going to land on his head, and break his neck. He accepted it. The impact never came. He opened one eye and found he was on the ground already. Unhurt, even though he had to have fallen through a thorn bush to get where he was at. Odd.
1990. He ran into her while out hiking alone. She stepped out from behind a tree. And giggled.
"Who are you here for now? Why are you here? What do you want from me?" he was tired of running into her like this.
"You know what I am. I'm merely dropping by to look at you." a small laugh, "I'm not here for you, but you might be able to guess who I am here for."
He hated guessing games. Crossing his arms, he leaned on one leg and glared.
"What are you looking at?" he turned around in time to see someone step from behind a tree. They raised a rifle and fired. What??! His head snapped left in time to see a branch disappear from the tree next to him. He ran. He heard her laugh and say something to his back. "You would prefer that your end be for a good cause rather than ignoble."

1995. This time, he called her by her name when he saw her. He had no idea why she followed like this. He had no idea wy his friends had started dying, one by one. But he knew that She'd appear soon afterward. His friend had just hit a tree at 77 miles an hour. By accident. Mistaking the gas for the brake. ....to avoid a squirrel. J.C. was always like that.
"Why are you following me, Death?"
"So you've finally said my name?" She smoothed her hair and looked around. He glared. Inhaled, then asked another question.
"What do you want?" the look he got told him she'd never say. At least, not until she was ready to take him.
"You look so handsome in white..." she muttered. He looked down. He was wearing black.
"I'm not wearing.."
"You have no idea what you really look like to me." she said this with the look someone gives to a double-dutch chocolate cake with fudge frosting. He shivered.
"Leave my friends alone."
"Why? What will you give me instead? What would be worth it to you?" He spread his arms and gestured at himself. She looked sad.
"You would say that, wouldn't you? Stay, noble one. I am not here for you yet."

2000. He didn't know why, but he was still around. He should have been dead a hundred times over, but he wasn't. A touch to his shoulder said why.
"You again. Why are you bothering me?" He had the feeling she was toying with him, so much more to sweeten the pot. To sweeten it for the day he eventually did die.
Her look told him he'd guessed part of it. Her cold hand brushed his face lightly. She said one word.
"Soon."

Well.. It is raining here. And I thought I'd try a shortened, more macabre version of a story in me head.
Could be worse, though. I could've stuck song lyrics up in complete form! uh, oh..

Deluxe, sublime
Gigantic for all time and Space
I wish for you the stars bow down
I wish for you their infinite Crown
In Velveteen I will surround
With Velveteen in your name
In Velveteen I will surround
I'll keep this Velvet in your name
I'll keep this Velvet from the Rain
So long - Sleep well
Your purity speaks well - as you lay
With all these flowers in your bed
With all these flowers you had lent Away
In Velveteen I will surround
With Velveteen in your name
In Velveteen I will surround
I'll keep this Velvet in your name
I'll keep this Velvet in your name
I'll keep this Velvet in your name
I'll keep this Velvet from the Rain

Sponge, Velveteen.

Or uncross them.. lol 8-) Whatever floats your boat.. Just never forget the main objective and what you want out of it.. Then make your plans and go for it hog wild.. EMT's are not the only hot things out there you know.. There's lots and lots of good things..
