Curse you, Barb, and your thoughtless footwear linkage.
Y'know, if it makes you feel any better, I'm weeping right along with you, because those really ARE lovely and no way will I be owning them either.

You know, Barb, if you're moving north you WILL need boots.

Of a grody gay bar?
When the OWNER of the bar says "On that yucky floor!" you know it's bad. My boots STUCK to the floor when I was dancing there last month. Lay down in it? Just shoot me.

And, this turned up in the paper a while ago. Shows just how EVIL someone can be.

I know the judge in question, and she's a sharp cookie. I'm surprised that this happened in her courtroom.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Bleh. Nova decided to start meowing at 1 am. (Luckily she stopped soon after, so we could go back to sleep) It's been raining all day, and I have a bit of a sore throat.
Who put the Monday in my Friday?

I'm surprised that this happened in her courtroom.
I honestly can't feel any anger towards the judge - I WANT to, but...well, signatures as "proof of understanding, consent, or intent" are so 150-years-ago. How is any legal jurisdiction supposed to be able to prove that forgery ISN'T occurring? Hire an army of handwriting experts?
Absolutely horrible that it happened, and 99% of my empathy is reserved for the victim - but that judge is going to have some harsh eyes glaring at her for a while now, too.
