Hola fat chatters! How's everyone's  Wednesday going? What's your eating habit? How's your laig? Is your mattress making you look fat?  

"Ow my laig" is part of my vocabulary now. 🙂 I will be snacking on crackers and an assortment of delicious cheeses (more than one, because that's how I roll). I have some grapes, but they're not the best, so I might end up not eating them. Dr. Now would be proud of me.

So, Paul's original episode was aired in 2021, and the WATN is from a year later.   He really made a lot of progress.   He worked in Carnivals. I feel so sad about him.  

Carrie's is also from 2021.  She lived in a rented trailer with husbandChris with a bunch of cats, the trailer flooded.

I'm watching the Conners but I'll switch over at 8:30. I had a bag of Hershey candy-coated chocolate eggs and now I hate myself.

Don't hate yourself! We are all sometimes tempted,  and fall. And really, candy coated chocolate eggs are iresistable.

Evening people. I had a big ass salad for dinner to celebrate my not being chosen for a jury trial today! 

 

Yahoo! I have a jury summons for next month, but according to my brother, since I'm over seventy I'm not required to serve. News to me. I wouldn't mind if I got a grand jury, though. My son had to serve on a grand jury a couple of years ago and he got paid! Which I wouldn't mind. It was only three days a week and they were usually done by lunchtime. Poor guy, though. He's a sensitive soul and some of the cases really got to him.

Grand jury terms vary a lot by location.   I had jury duty a year ago, and had a two day trial.    It was a very solemn thing to judge someone.

Hello, my lovies! I'm not hungry so my eating habit may be an orange and a slice of pie later on. I haven't seen these two, I don't think. I walked all over town today and then went to a Pilates class so I am *tired*. The extent of my productivity was throwing a load of laundry in the washer and taking out the trash and recycling. But I walked all over town and did an exercise class!

I served on a jury several years ago. It was really quick, though, over in a day. Some crazy dude who was bagged for trespassing and some other  thing. He was sleeping under a shrub at the police station! He INSISTED on going to trial. Crazy as a bedbug, said he was working for the FBI. I get a summons every few years, but most of the time its cancelled. I had just been idly thinking "Hmm, been awhile since I've been called" and Bingo, what to my wondering eyes should appear in my mailbox? You guessed it. 

When my son did his grand jury service it was for about four months, three days a week. The district and superior courts are both in my town, too, so getting there isn't a hassle.

I almost got a trial for 4 days. Luckily they didn't want me but made me sit for 5 hours on a hard chair and I needed caffeine so badly. Not the most fun I ever had. My friend got a grand jury for 6 weeks, that would have really bummed me out. 

In Maryland you can opt out of the jury pool at 70 also.

I'm sure I've told this story before, but the last time I was called and had to hang around for hours it was for a big high profile murder trial (high school kid who murdered his teacher, all over the news, ghastly).  Everyone at the courthouse was very tight-lipped and didn't spill but it became obvious once we'd been there awhile. I was FREAKING out. I know that the jury has to go to the murder scene and look at horrible graphic photos and all that. I was frantically reading the witness lists in the vain hope that I'd know someone, but I'm not sociable and don't know people, so no joy there. We were there waiting around so long they put a movie on for us. Finally they brought us in to meet the judge, and all of us had to approach the sidebar individually and tell the judge that it wouldn't be a hardship to serve. I'm freaking out. I do not want to do this. THEN I see the defense team. One of the lawyers was the mother of one of my son's classmates from elementary school, and we'd been pretty friendly back then. So after I told the judge it wouldn't be a hardship, I walked past the lawyers and was all "SUSAN! HI-EE! How ARE you?? How's Jackson! You're looking GREAT!" She was mortified. As I was leaving I heard someone say "STOP THAT JUROR!" and I was dismissed. I can still feel the relief that flooded through me.

I just started Severance. What an original and fantastic show.

I need to watch that. The "Lumon Industries" building is the old Bell Labs building (now called Bell Works) where my dad worked for 35 years. My mom worked there, too. They were both working there when they met (though not together, it's a big place; they met at a bowling outing or something like that and he thought she was someone's little sister! 😄). She left when she had my brother and went back as a temp when I was 11 and stayed for 13 years. My dad retired when Lucent started circling the drain. Now the ground floor has a bunch of shops and restaurants, and in the middle are some seating areas, a big play area for kids, ping-pong tables, basketball hoops; there's even a branch of the county library in there. The upper floors are offices and stuff.

Easter is a bad bad season, I love those gooey Cadbury eggs so I can't even go by the candy aisle.

I used to love those things. Haven't had one in several years.

I had to go to jury duty once; it was supposed to be for a week. I spent most of the day in the courthouse basement reading a book, they called me up for one panel and they picked their jury before they even got to me. At the end of the day they said if we weren't picked we didn't have to come back (so I called work and they put me back on the schedule for the rest of the week). I got a summons twice in the next several years, both times for the county I had just moved out of. The next time I got summoned, everything was closed for an expected blizzard that ended up being a sleet/ice storm. We were told to check the website the next day; my group was on standby for day 2 and it said to check again the next day, at which point they apparently just decided to skip over my group all together. I got summoned last January and it said to check the website and see if we were in the group to join the zoom orientation. I was not. I had to check every day for a week but my number was never included in the group that had to go. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That is funny, it is so sinister looking in the series!

First rule is make sure you have a good book. I've spent most of the time I've had a call for jury duty in the church basement across the street from the courthouse, waiting around to be called. Its so deadly  boring. 

Every time I get a summons, I get summonsed to Lawrence, MA, which is about twenty odd miles from me, and no public transport to speak of to get there! I do not drive. I live in Salem, with both a district and superior court! And the bus goes right there! I have to request a change of venue every time. So annoying.

I think I was called for jury duty when I was a college student but they never followed up.  I'd be interested in serving, depending on the case, of course. But I'm a retired federal employee with a work history in law enforcement so I am pretty sure I'd be bounced. 

I always figured I was a prime candidate, being a fat old white lady. I suppose I could wear my "Question Authority" button, or my red fist one.

What beach town was he in? 

Pensacola, I think.

How can these people not know if they've lost weight? I know they have a script that they love to repeat: I hope I lost the weight! I hope Dr. Now will approve my surgery! Oh no, I gained 30 lbs!!! I don't know how that happened because I've been working so hard! Blah blah blah. It's so transparent that they're lying.

My husband always get called to the Newburyport courthouse, and that's civil court, so its all property disputes and whatnot. Talk about boring!
