I am home because I had to take the e-Verify webinar in order to get paid by the State as an independent contractor. I only passed with 89%, out of sheer boredom. (I have no employees.)

I am also home because our county is under a tornado watch, and since it's about 10 months since Mother Nature whomped the hell out of us, we're all taking this ( Read more... )

OMG y'all! (Octavia Spencer)

I keep pointing out that we Americans have already seen "The XFiles" and ST:TNG & I want more Stephen Fry, preferably in QI.

I have heard, over the past few weeks, my neighbor screaming at her kids and them crying. Tonight I could hear her calling them M-F-ers and threatening them with the belt and kids were sounding petrified. So I went next door and pounded on the door. She herded them upstairs, screaming more. (The baby daddy wasn't at home ( Read more... )

There's no app for that, is there? Oh well...I'll struggle along.

I am on the point of going to court as the guardian ad litem for a custody/visitation case. The child in question is 15! The mom snatched her from her legal custodian, and kid wants to stay with mom because mom "home schools" her (i.e., lets her watch television all day and grades ( Read more... )

I have finally unearthed my address book. As I love holiday cards I shall be posting them out to y'all soonish. I got one from my former next door neighbor, she of the 3 a.m. bare knuckle fights. Nothing is quite so chilling as pulling out, at one's home address, an envelope stamped "THIS CORRESPONDENCE IS FORWARDED FROM AN ALABAMA STATE PRISON" ( Read more... )

I was in felony court Thursday when P. came up to me, just before the judge came in, and told me I had blocked her cell number. (Of course I had. Gee) I said, "I don't even have my phone, my purse was stolen." Just then the Judge came in and we all rose, as one does. I later heard from another lawyer that P. said she was going to check and see if ( Read more... )

Someone turned my purse into another store in Georgia, and all my stuff was there. My mom got it and it is being FedExed back to me ( Read more... )

Or, rather that it won't "stick". I don't know---I'd rather stay home than run around in 36 degree F rain. But again, I do have to get some money, as my clever plan to buy a certified refurbished iPhone is not working, as in Verizon is out of stock of 'em. Dang. How can I get by with a phone that just TEXTS? I need mah apps! I need mah Netflix on ( Read more... )
