Page Five!

I am glad that someone mentioned the green light above our avatars.  Now I know that Laura is still around, even though she doesn't show up at the top of the page.

[Laura]

I wonder if I can take a laptop.

[TCB]

And John G. is still with us, even if he is napping or studying.

[TCB]

I wonder if I can take a laptop.

Where?

[Laura]

To jury duty. Next week.

[Jane]

I've decided to burn no bridges with either of my employers, and we'll see how it goes.

I think that is the wise thing to do.  Best of luck with them both!

KV Pharmaceuticals just raised the price of a drug for premature labor  from $20/injection to $1500 for one! What the hell? I hope some group burns their offices down.

That is a shocking difference.  I hope only one shot is needed for treatment.  If the offices burn there might not be a drug at all so be careful what you wish for

Today I picked up my 28 day inject pen.  Without insurance it is Twelve hundred something.  With insurance, until my deductible kicks in, a mere $848.72.  Ouch!

[Jane]

My name was called in jury duty at 3:30 pm. It was so late that they decided to delay the jury selection process until this morning. So, I've had all night to think of really terrible and politically incorrect things to say to get me rejected. But after seeing today's TOD, I think I'll just stand up in the court room, and sing "My Country Tis of Thee" really really loud. That's bound to get me thrown out.

What a coinky-dink!  I got a Jury Summons in the mail.  Unfortunately it was not addressed to me.

Unfortunately?

[Jane]

And one for nurse Jane.

Funny.  Is this for real?

[TCB]

To jury duty. Next week.

I thought you were already done with that, Laura.

[Jane]

So, who was the jury summons for, TCB?

My former next door neighbor.

Not the one we know

[Jane]

DR Laura congratulations on boiling water!

[TCB]

My former next door neighbor.

No, the woman who lived below me when I was in the other upstairs apartment.

[TCB]

I haven't been sleeping very well lately.  I think I will turn in now, so that I can get in a couple of extra hours of tossing and turning.

[TCB]

G'night!

[elmore3003]

I like those ideas, DR TCB!

Are you typing under water from your hot tub or do you do other things while you're there?

If I take the computer into the hot tub, I get a mighty shock.

Can't be any worse than the shock you give the guys in the hot tub when you show up!

[George]

Interesting!



The 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle will be doing TITANIC - IN CONCERT, next season for two night only.  April 14th and April 15th, 2012

That sounds like a great evening.  I think I might try to see that.

I love the score.  We should try to get tickets together, George.  Unless you are too busy with your new BFF Christian.

Well...since Christian and I don't really interact when we're on stage together, we haven't bonded off stage, either.  Oh, well. 

I do get to punch him in the stomach during the big fight scene at the end of the show!

[George]

And now, I must leave and run a couple of errands before rehearsal.

Be back later!

[Laura]

They give you about six weeks to look forward to jury duty out here.

[Jane]

I need to dry my hair now that I have transferred a load of clothes into the dryer.  I wish the weather were nicer today as Sherlock is still very damp from his shower.

[John G.]

As usual, I have driven everyone away, except John G.  Once he realizes he is left alone with me, I am sure he will also depart!

Thanks. I didn't leave because of you. Just went and heated some leftovers for dinner.

[John G.]

DR Laura congratulations on boiling water!

Ramen is next!

[Laura]

We had spaghetti.

[John G.]

You have to boil water for spaghetti, too. Unless you are eating it out of a can.

[John G.]

Tonight's movie: "Pin Up Girl" with Betty Grable. It will go great with "Cultural Theory: An Introduction."

I now know why our justice system moves so slowly - TWO hour lunch breaks...sheesh. I've made a new wonderful discovery though - chocolate-covered cinnamon gummy bears - yummilicious! Anyway, jury selection is taking forever. If someone admits they might be a less-than-impartial juror, the judge, defending attorney, and prosecuting attorney all ask him to talk about that three different times, phrasing the same question three different ways. I just wanted to yell, "look, you can ask him the same question three times, but he'll still be a bigot no matter how you phrase the question!"

Actually, during the jury's 2 hour lunch break the attorneys are researching, arguing issues with the judge, preparing, dealing with witness issues etc.  As a trial attorney, I rarely have time to eat lunch during trial

Nope, wouldn't get her out of jury duty in the courts I practice in. She would just get asked a lot of questions

April 12th is the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War (U.S.)

I really don't like the techno pop music that is so popular today.  I think I liked disco better...

[John G.]

I agree.
