What the heck is wrong with people?!?! An 11-year old boy is found living alone. What happened to his mother? Oh, she was moving in with her boyfriend and decided to let the boy live alone to help him deal with his depression over his father's death a year ago. But don't condemn her too much...she stopped by every day to bring him food. [/sarcasm]

You learn something new every day...

Cracklin Oat Bran is NOT good when it is stale. blech!

Well...I have had my first real taste of what it means to be a lawyer. I advised my client and she did exactly the opposite of what I advised. At first I was really irritated...but my husband reminded me that I have nothing to gain or lose by my clients' stupidity, so I shouldn't take it so personally. I can only give my legal opinion and let the clients do whatever they're going to do.

Makes me really wish we had a limit on billable hours for each client though. As an assistant prosecutor, I find it completely unfair to my other clients that one client eats up all my time and their projects/requests for opinions get shuffled to the back burner. I spend so much time cleaning up the messes from certain clients (because they don't take my advice in the first place), that my other clients don't feel like they are a priority. There should be a limit. I know we're statutorily appointed counsel for political subdivisions...but I think some are taking advantage of their "free" legal counsel.

Anyway...as I have said for a while now...my job would be so much easier if I just didn't have to deal with my clients. lol

Did you see that NASA has definitively stated that it was a flaw in the application of foam that caused the space shuttle Columbia explosion? How horribly sad for those involved. Can you imagine how it must feel to know that such a tragedy was completely preventable?

Have you SEEN these???





Breathtaking!
