The reporter quoted the president as saying "When it comes to athletic performance we don't make a distinction based on sexual performance" I think he meant preference, LOLWas that from today's press conference? I guess I was asleep by then. I lay down around two, woke up for a bit of the press conference and slept through most of Doctor Phil.And I'm still sleepy. I hope my Britcoms are back tonight and that the PBS begging is over.

According to the summons I received today I will have to begin Jury Duty on January 30th. I have to call the evening before to see if they still need/want me. I haven't done JD since 2006. Before that I did it like clockwork, when the schedule was every 2 years. Now they have made exemptions much stricter and it's hard to get out of JD (not that I ever did). Almost everyone has to show up for at least 1 day. Back in the day I did JD 6 times between 1986 and 2006. I did Criminal, Civil, Federal and Grand Jury (I have the fingerprints to prove it) and all the cases (except for Grand Jury) came to verdict.

I am on vacation...I am on vacation.....WOOO HOOOOO!!!!
I also settled my claim today for my accident. It's not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things, but it fixes the cash flow problem since the accident and makes it totally ok for Edith and I to close the office for a week.
Quote from: Jennifer on December 20, 2013, 12:42:16 PMI need to find something with a very strong smell that i can use to cover the faint smell of the turpentine that is still by my computer.It is still burning my eyes. It was better in the room during the freezing cold smell.Do you have a fan you can blow on the area?I found variations of this method:Air a room where turpentine has been spilt on the floor or carpet. Sop up the excess with paper towels and let the area dry. Clean the floor with soapy water. If the spill is on a carpet, sprinkle baking soda, a powder carpet freshener or kitty litter over the turpentine. This should soak up extra liquid and neutralise the smell. Vacuum the carpet after a few hours.

TOD: Nothing, but I am listening to a live comedy show. It is called "DR Sandra Attempts to Apply for Obamacare." It's a real hoot.
