In Reply to: jury duty - Eileen

It definitely gave me a whole new perspective on the process. I am a person who is strong on principals and was disturbed by how "soft" many jurors were. Also disturbed that the judge refused to provide further information asked for. It was what should probably have been a short 1-2 day case, but it took 5. Can only imagine the stress involved in a serious case. I would do it again, but out of a sense of duty, as it certainly was not fun.

Have you been served with papers
If you were served with papers, I would definitely seek the aid of an attorney. If not, then don't worry. If someone else you know has, the best advice to give is to see an attorney for legal advice as we are not attorneys. She might be doing this so she doesn't have to pay the back due wages. Go onto People's Court. Good luck. But if you have been served papers, don't wait do something about it.

I served it with biscuits and veggies.
Made the broth gravy and so it went well with the biscuits.

.....served up in a dirty ashtray....

When someone says the pie you served is "exquisite" and in my mind

I briefly think that is a bad thing.

When I first started in this field and heard that word used to descirbe pain....it blew me away. (Still cannot understand the concpt of exquisite pain!! )

A party is about getting together, not what food is served! :-)
I say to make whatever food you feel comfortable with and encourage others to bring covered dishes to add variety. I have found those types of get togethers the most fun. Easy food, music, pool, games for the kids, whatever. Good luck! :-)

To the Geez: You just want it all served on a silver platter, don't you!.
Can't you figure out the rest by yourself? Obvious not! The rest depends on the Window system, do you get it?

And I was not talking to you!

You know what you are? Two things: One is lazy, the other starts with s and ends with d, that's you!

Fried tofu, stir-fry veggies, served on bed of kale. NM

Roasted parmesian garlic sauce over grilled chicken served on bed of vermicelli, green salad
