Yay, Spook! But where's the photos of Aprella? And what about the cleavage of Veronica? or that fabulous ass of the Contessa? Last night was so much fun. I couldn't sleep last night after the show, and when I did, it was with one leg hangin' out the bed. Rawr. (And I was by myself, sadly.)

Can't we just tell them that Santa is making extra rounds this year?

Spook, you are scaring me! I don't know if I want to breed with you anymore!

Yay! Yay! Yay! and YAY!

Ha! So my paranoia is accurate for the once! Whoo hoo! Now, my theory on plastic bread ties........

Why not both? Taking care of ourselves physically supports our self-confidence and creativity. Creative outlets provide us with (for lack of a better word) spiritual energy. Keep up the good work! (And I should follow your example.)

I thoroughly agree there. If I were in that father's situation, I do not know how I would handle the emotional devastation; unfortunately for him, the law as it written, does jack-shit to protect him on an insanity defense. IMO, the insanity defense requirements are not written to protect those who have acted violently in response to extreme emotional distress, nor to assist those with genuine chronic conditions, but instead to punish those who have been caught red-handed and may want to resort, falsely, to such defense. The effectiveness record of the defense is abysmal, largely, I think, because the public demand for retribution of crimes committed is far greater than the desire for rehabilitation, even in the case of people who genuinely need psychiatric help. I think the insanity defense is a trap and that is why the requirements are so whack. If the defense did what it is purported to do, the father would have a chance in hell here; he doesn't. I don't agree with what the father did, though I understand it all too well.

And you are right. That is why the legal definition of insanity and requirements wherewith for qualifying for the insanity defense are whack. Because the government isn't interested in protecting people with chronic issues. Tits was pointing to the legal definition, not what persons with mental illnesses can or can not do.

Yeah, well, when you look like she does, narcissism is your right. I mean, if I were her, I'd do me. I mean her. If I were her. Yeah.

Thank you so much!

I don't know precisely how Tits meant her statement, but in her defense: "Insanity" as a legal definition pursuant to a defense has some really bizarre, often incongruent, and against common sense requirements that have nothing to do with the actual ability of persons suffering from any of several disorders. In law, the insanity defense is precluded in the case of rational planning (something pre-meditation negates), remorse, the ability to distinguish right from wrong, the ability to predict consequences, and several other things people in common parlance "crazy" are known to be able to demonstrate. So, please, don't take this personally.

My guess is that Law & Order: SVU will be the first to pick it up, although something might appear in CSI as well.

Thank you. I will check them out. Does anybody else have personal experience with, or have heard good things about through friends and family, another law firm?

Um, yeah. Police have been overlooking suspicious deaths in Detroit for years. Case in point: in 2003, I was residing in an apartment building a few blocks off of Wayne State University campus where my then boyfriend worked as building manager. One or two residents reported an odd smell in one of the apartments. Then residents reported that they were approached inside the building by a man who asked them if they wanted to see a dead body and offered to show them a corpse for money. So my ex resignedly went to the top floor to find the source of the odor. No man was found, but the door to apartment 414 (none of the apartments were numbered with 13--I guess the builders were superstitious that way) in which I had previously resided (but vacated because of the inescapable roach situation) was ajar and there was the mouldering corpse of the registered female tenant in the bathtub. Without conducting any interviews at all or even looking for the guy residents had spotted, police decided, even before autopsy, that it was an accidental death. Case closed. Nevermind that the woman's belongings were missing and that she was found under such strange circumstances and that the corpse had been "mutilated" according to one witness. Of course, the assumption was that the kitten, starved for food for the three days prior to the woman's discovery, had done that. Hence Grendel, the man-eating monster kitten, got her name. What a darling kitty she was.

See, it shouldn't even matter if the work conditions are responsible or not. There is supposed to be a method wherein I can get medical assistance after which my claim can be accepted or denied by my employers' insurance. Since my employer never secured insurance and are denying me access to that process, they are in violation of state and federal law. This is why I am in need of a liability, and not just a workers' comp, lawyer. I need a recommendation of a firm since I'm not comfortable just going through the phone book.

K. I don't know anything about banking, but I have this crazy theory. Say you are bank. There are only about $2 million in savings in it, but there's about another million, say, in cash flowing in and out daily, and you want to increase your take. What do you do? Well, if you delay the cash flow by one day and have it go in and out of an account you lend from and collect on in a ratio where the loans and payouts never exceed the collections then you make oodles. That's what I think happens. But I don't know. It's purely conjecture on my part. I just think they have a way to make money from pushing it through an account somewhere, even if only for a day. And the more banking institutions involved, the more delays there are.

Welcome back!

My back has hurt me since Monday when I strained it at work moving cases of 20 oz soda. The pain has grown steadily worse, and, despite home remedies, rest, and a prolonged appointment with a state certified myomassalogist, my comfortable range of motion has continued to decrease. So, I called around to see how I might be able to get medical help. The "free" clinics (which are not free, but are based on income and much cheaper) did not have an available appointment until December 11 or later. Other normal clinics would not see me unless I obtained permission from my employer to be seen under workers' compensation. I followed up then with my employer, a temp agency, which the Michigan Department of Energy and Labor confirmed was not exempt from providing workers' comp. My employer told me that I would not be eligible for workers' comp because the injury I obtained was received while I was doing work that was part of my job description. This didn't make sense to me. I thought that was precisely what workers' comp was for. That's when I called the Michigan Department of Energy and Labor. I was transferred to a claims department to try to find the name of the medical insurer for the company and found they have none. I was then switched back to the hotline and it was strongly recommended to me that I, no matter what my injury, consult a liability lawyer ASAP. Does anyone have a recommendation? Please, I need your help.

Ooh. I love your name!

Calix: Nevermind that some parts of the description are antithetical to one another. I'm chill and tightly wound, huh? I suppose I'm paradoxical like that.

I made corrections to the grammar, but this is totally untrue of me. More likely, I will project my anger as being the other person's animosity and question myself endlessly as to what was the cause of his/her wrath and analyze endlessly whether or not it is indicative of a) simply a difference of personality, b) a personality flaw on my part, or c) a shortcoming on his or her part. But revenge never occurs to me. Hell, I only learned to stick up for myself a few years ago.
