We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Strix, depends on the lawyer. But I think most family law lawyers are familiar with the issue of keeping the hours down. A friend of mine once cut a deal with her lawyer, to do a lot of the research into the same issues you're dealing with. The lawyer saved time and Cheryl saved money.

Thanks, Suela! I'll mention that to him, because I can research like crazy, and any databases I can't get into or my sister the PT college librarian can't get into, I have a TON of librarian friends who could probably hook me up.

I was the Court Liaison for two DV shelters, so I'm not afraid of getting to the courthouse and asking questions till I get the right procedure down, F2F, either.

God, what would I -- ANY of us -- do without Buffistas?

Ahahaha, on Good Stuff Happened Today, the toddler who's crying when he met the sanitation workers -- he lives in my neighborhood! We know his dad (mostly as a nodding acquaintance, but still).

I saw that somewhere else a few days ago. So cute! And I love that the sanitation workers take the time to entertain the kid every day when they see him watching from the window.

I posted the link to an ABC news story about it on my FB. I'm cracking up that he went viral.

Isn't that the best? And they were so happy to take a picture with him!

Right? My neighborhood has got it going on.

Oy. Now my aunt is freaking out about bed bugs because she's reading online reviews, and wants my advice about hotels in Chicago. I live here. I don't stay in hotels here!

Does anyone have Chicago hotel recs that I can pass along?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

shrift, last May I stayed at the Holiday Inn south of the Cumberland station on the Blue line. The hotel itself was unremarkable, but getting to and from the train station was a little awkward due to road construction. There is a Marriott on the other side of the train station that looks much easier to get to, but is probably more expensive.
