Jury Duty - waiting game today

The judge came out and told us that we should all be proud of ourselves for being part of the greatest justice system in the world. He says jury is getting so great (I'm typing this with the free wifi they are providing in the jury lounge), that soon we will have to pay to serve! Seriously, I'm happy to be doing my civic duty. I know if I have ever have to go to trial, I don't want slackers representing me.

Quote about life

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

These Really Work - Home Remedies

AMAZING SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES:

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP..

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

Quote about patience

I can’t find the source for this one, but I think it’s often relevant...

“Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience.”

SAVE THE DATE! The party is ON!

My annual client-appreciation party will be Friday, February 19, 6:00pm - 10:00pm at the Castaway in Burbank AGAIN. (the only difference this year is the open bar will ONLY be from 6:30-9:30pm)

It's been a tough year, and continues to be rough, for a lot of us.
So more of a reason to cut loose, or relax, and give each other moral support!

Use it as a networking event, or a reunion, or whatever helps you have the best time possible!

If you are going to be in Los Angeles, or can make arrangements to be, let me know if I can help.

I'll be sending out an Evite for your RSVPs.

Thank you for your continued patronage!
:)
