Sorry, I know I haven't any business, as a *not single* posting in here, but, I, for one, wouldn't mind if Eevee had a "wardrobe failure." Just sayin'. K. Outta here.

Congratulations! Yay!

I always preferred the flying fuck, but if you're aerodynamic enough, you might be both. Welcome!

Hope you had the bestest barely dressedest birthday and came down with the plague!

Yay! *giggles* That was delicious.

Is spankee! hMMM. Indeed.

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.
