Oh, and slave duty.

They get to do chores if they can't behave. Having a car, having electronics, going out with friends, those are all optional. What's that joke about CPS and snotty teens? The one stating all we have to provide is a roof, a bed, clothing (even used), and three meals a day?

What is wrong with me? A slave to my emotions (sm)
I am in a bad marriage. My husband has been distant for a long time but because of my children I have tried to keep it all together. He is gone all the time, travelling for work and for fun with his friends. When he is here he is still emotionally distant. I believe he is having an affair but haven't been able to ever find real evidence and have given up trying. But for two year now I have been seeking and finding online male "friends" to talk to. We talk about our marital issues, our loneliness, etc. But it is never enough. So I have several people I e-mail with and find myself constantly checking my e-mail. I know in my heart that I just want to be free to find someone to date and be close to. Instead I go through this daily routine of e-mailing back and forth.
Jury Duty
I've been called just once and because I used to work for attorneys, I was good friends with the Judge and I couldn't serve. I'd love to, though.
Jury duty in Idaho (sm)
In Idaho they go by driver's license and voter registration so if they don't get you one way they'll get you another I guess. They would miss a lot of people if they only went by voter registration. I have included a link to a page that explains it if you want to check it out. Maybe some states or counties are different, but I bet they probably all do things pretty much the same. Of course maybe this is good for you, it means you were both right, sometimes that's a good way to end a debate amicably.

And who shows up for Jury Duty
I went to Jury Duty months ago. A judge came in the Jury Duty chambers and told us about the lack of a true system in Russia. He personally visited Russia and interviewed their judges and prisoners. Thus, be grateful you live the US. Be grateful you can speak your uncompassionate words.
Anyway in Michigan Jurors show up 47% of the time. Kinda frightening given the judge's comment who is present for court every single day:
Long story short: A rapist was let go because potential jurors don't show up. The case was dismissed. That's really quite sad.
Please no matter no state you are in...........go to Jury Duty.
I need some heavy duty face cream...
…I have some areas on my face that are extremely dry, around my hair line, around my nose and I have used several creams trying to soften these areas up. Sometimes I even flake on my eyelids like I have sunburn and I use dandruff shampoo on my eyebrows because if not they will flake- no dandruff in the hair, though. I know this sounds awful but this is getting on my last nerve. I have put petroleum jelly on my face overnight- still dry in these patches. Does anyone else have something like this and if so any remedies? Thanks
It's a mother's duty to protect her children
if at all possible and until she knows more about this woman she has no obligation to let her speak to her children - you have obviously never been in this situation. I understand what you are saying about way worse and horrible situations in the world but that is not this OP's problem - her problem here is the emotional wellbeing of her children and it is her call and IMO she made the correct one.
I once was assigned guest book duty.
Like you, I didn't know what that entailed. When I arrived at the reception, I was told to hold the thing as people walked up and signed it. Basically, I was a human podium. If that's what the bride wants you to do, tell her to leave it on the table! How rude of her to expect so much! Show up in the red dress and don't even sign the silly guest book!
How many times you been called for jury duty? sm
We have lived here for 10 years. My husband has been called 4 times! They have never called me. He never gets selected when they find out he is prior military, but we know within a year or two he will get called again. He does not mind and has actually told me he would like to be selected and hear a case sometime. It just makes me wonder, though, how often does everyone else get called? 
First of all, I am sure that painting the walls is the landlord's duty.
Same with the carpet, the landlord has either to clean it or put a new one. It was also his duty to fix the stove and pay for it.
Regarding all the mess in his basement and all the leaks, which emerged after you signed the lease, the landlord is in the wrong, as he did not disclose it to you before you signed the lease.
You are definitely confronted with an dishonest landlord and as a former poster said, get a housing inspection which will prove that the home is 'uninhabitable.'
All this 'junk' in the basement is a perfect breeding and hiding place for roaches, rodents and other pests.
You can definitely get out of this lease and have the right to ask your deposit back.
Yeah, I just did jury duty, served on 2 trials in my small county court. There was a girl
did absolutely nothing. Good-looking, well-dressed young lady, may went out a few times (I'm sure to deliver a message or something), but other than that- absolutely nothing. What a job!. Am sure in my county at least, its all in who you know.
Good luck with your jury duty.
