Did you administer justice, or were you dismissed?
Power ~ma to them that needs it.
Saffron: He's my husband. Mal: Well, who in the damn galaxy ain't?

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I was dismissed. Most likely because it was a personal injury case and my dad was a doctor and mom was a nurse. Can't have a juror that might understand medicine.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Or one who might be inclined to side with the doctors.
Cops kids, lawyers kids, etc. I think its pretty common to be dismissed if they think you could have some sort of built in bias.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
YAY dismissed! I'm thrilled that you aren't stuck there all week.
Erin, that sucks royally. I hope that they have somewhere to go if the power doesn't return soon.

They are going to have a hard time on this one. The defendant is Bank of America. At least half the jurors were current or former customers of the bank. One of the potential jurors was the husband of a vice president at the bank. There were three receptionists in law offices and two people with law degrees.

Power~ma to Erin's folks. It looks like a lot of Missouri got slammed. I hate ice storms.
Also, fuck. I was just walking out to the mailbox with the dog and normally he just goes down and back without any trouble. I got involved in trying to extract a package that the mailman had apparently pounded into my mailbox and he nipped at a passerby. The guy first was all "Look, it broke the skin," but he stopped when I brought out the digital camera, because there was no mark at all. Still, that's completely unacceptable dog behavior and I have to figure out the right training for that.
He was looking for work, so I've got him cleaning off the deck. The dog is in his crate. So not what I needed today.

Ginger, look at Good Owners, Great Dogs by Brian Kilcommons (sp?). He has some great techniques.

Oh, Nora. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think one of my co-editors just came on to me. He has never gotten over my answering him back with Kellerman's line: "There's nothing I won't do, but some things will cost you extra." Isn't that ridiculous?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That quote is a glimpse of your spicy brains, Erika. Seems like an excellent reason for someone to get a bit of a crush.
