    Vintage 1950's Christmas Festivities

    Our Thanksgiving is this weekend, but I still can't really justify it since Hallowe'en hasn't passed lol November first is when I break out the Christmas tunes. This song I felt okay about, though, because it's really just about winter :p

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    I've seen the TLC show on people who coupon. I admire you! I would not have the patience, though I would adore the savings.

    The shortest hair in the 40s and 50s?

    I love that episode - "Yeah, stay married to him! That'll teach him!" lol Liz Taylor's hair was similar in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, maybe just a bit longer: I've contemplated it a few times, but my face is too fat.

    The Wifely Duties

    You just described very accurately many females I've met, and one in particular that I was good friends with. We became friendly because we had things in common, but I grew tired of every conversation being about the next guy, and of the hysterical late night phone calls when her new romance...

    The general decline in standards today

    I know you might be joking, but I am serious. In the course of my study and work experiences, I know that an accused is more likely to get an impartial decision from one trained adjudicator than 12 impressionable average-joe's (not through their own fault, but because they are human.)

    The Wifely Duties

    Which I think is terrible. Marriage is not the answer to your problems, it requires constant work from both people, much more than a person with self esteem that low can handle. On TV, Rhoda Morgenstern was a great example. I'm not surprised her marriage crumbled, what with her constant...

    The general decline in standards today

    If one of those plebs had made their statement out loud, I'm sure a new trial would have been arranged. Jury trials for civil cases aren't all that common, and having worked in civil lit myself, I can tell you it is so much better to go to mediation (or if that fails, arbitration) and the...

    I broke down and listened to this today :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA2ItJ1CxNs

    The general decline in standards today

    That reminds me of a statement my evidence law professor made in college that instantly changed how I thought about it: "It's not the truth that matters, its the truth you can prove." (It requires some explanation - He wasn't inferring that an advocate should push his or her fabricated version...

    Do American courts accept polygraph tests as evidence? They don't here or in the UK.

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    I'm slightly fearful of asking lol My brother usually tells them he is an Anti-Cosmic Satanist.

    The general decline in standards today

    Oh yes, personal greed and oneupmanship throw a wrench into what is a beautiful design all too often. Even still, it isn't fair for people to paint the whole judicial system with that brush - I've met many more honest defense counsel, impartial Crowns, and fair (but sleepy) judges, and I'm sure...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Maybe they fed him hormones for breakfast for that purpose lol Brilliant! :D I don't get any other door callers other than in an election 'cause I live in a triplex, but if I'm keeping that one in mind if I ever own my own house. My brother and I once staged a drunken domestic for a...

    Coming this fall: ABC's "Pan Am" -- "Mad Men" in the skies?

    I'm having a difficult time getting past all of those things, too, like the actors doing what they think was right - It interferes with everything pretty badly. I hate how prissy the girls are. When I watched the pilot (ha, ha) I thought it was alright for a first attempt, and said I've give...

    How do you wear a blouse?

    I'm trying to do that, too. For me, I need more button up blouses lol

    No, the choice is made based on the best interests of the client, which is what defense counsel is there to do. People who talk about "the offender running loose" and "justice not being served by crooked lawyers" are ignoring everything that defense counsel does. The Justice system has...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    I wonder lol Right now, the urge was to wave my tenancy agreement in his face and yell "MY PLACE!!" I would have gladly wished for that after I turned 19 and ordered a screwdriver at a restaurant up north, and the snotty waitress said to me "Oh, you just became of age. You're probably...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Yeah... Pretty badly. Hitch along with Mae on the way to pick up Hoosier, and bring the pecan pie and cool whip. I'll set the table ;) Rant: So this kid comes and knocks on my door (we're having a provincial election next week), and I'd just washed my make-up off. He says "Hello, are your...

    The general decline in standards today

    I know you are, but not everyone reading this is. No harm meant by it. That's all well and dandy, but you're missing a few key details: Firstly, the fact that the accused has the final word. His advocate is there to follow his instructions, and while they can make suggestions, they...
