Calli, I hope they can figure out quickly what's going on with your mom. I'm crossing my fingers that it's nothing serious.
eta: and congrats to Stephanie!
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yay noniasteph! Not that any of us doubted your ethics.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Is there sex-offender registry in Toronto/Canada? Cause I can't think of a better candidate.
As for student loan interest, I gather the question has gone by, but it's a deduction you can do on the 1040 and 1040A forms (but not the 1040EZ), with no "schedule ABCXYZ" extra forms.
Who, me? Do my brother's taxes and puzzle out whether he owes capital gains? How did you guess?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, Stephanie!
If you're willing to disclose, which state's bar are you going for?

Trust my rage
Here in North Carolina. It's where I be living for the next 2-3 years at least. I'm mostly interested in immigration law, however, which I can practice anywhere as long as I've passed the bar somewhere (or so I've been led to believe).
The bar itself is looming over me like a giant sword. Graduation doesn't even seem fun. I will be so relieved when it's over.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I seem to recall before it was known that the male contributed the sperm and the female contributed the egg, that one theory was that the male sort of planted a whole mini-baby, but can't--for the life of me--remember which society, or when.
You are thinking of the humunculous theory (I don't guarantee the spelling on that one, btw). And as to which society, well, um, ours (meaning the West); the theory is also fairly modern AFAIK (meaning the Enlightenment, not Ancient Greece or some such).
It was also theorized that the male's left testicle produced girls and the right produced boys, so if you wanted to ensure the sex of your baby, you tied off the undesired testicle. Needless to say, this technique was flawed.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Timelies.
Yay Stephanie!
I am in the middle of remodel hell here in my office. Today, we have no faxes. This is very much not good.
Send booze and cabana boys. Or girls.

I clearly have not consumed enough caffeine for a testicle bondage conversation.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
hunh - just spoke with an old boss and she is trying to recruit me for a position they have open. Not sure I'd want to go back to that place, but looking back it was MUCH better than the last two supervisors. She's not sure she can afford me, but we'll talk.
It's nice to be a desired commodity.
Now to the tasks at hand. sending off letters.

If you haven't signed up for a bar review course, I recommend one. At the very least, it structures your study for the bar. (And yes, I'm a member of NC Bar.)
And I don't know exactly how immigration works, but my experience with other areas of the federal government doesn't contradict your belief.
