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

Well, I was close.

tod

I would love to play the fiddle - well yes I know it's a violin but it is fiddle music that really makes my soul soar ....



I tired for three years to play the violin --- I was begged not to come back to lessons - I have so little talent I am surprised I am even allowed to listen to music

I would also like to play the piano and  guitar  --- which I also attempted several times over the years


no matter what the instrument my extraordinary lack of talent shines through

TOD:

Piano

I've tried, a few times, to learn, but I just don't have the finger coordination or a musical ear.

Yeah, that finger thing...I've always thought I had rather stubby fingers, not enough span and reach.

Hello, everyone.

I, too, enjoyed the Joan Rivers documentary. She certainly has a lot of drive and endurance. Thanks to HHW for the excellent recommendation.

I am mightily impressed with DR Ginny's weight loss. Especially so since she has even lost weight in her feet!
