NWI INGO General Post - Part 22 - Racoon Pets, Sadclowns Kids, and golf carts

Well we agreed to property division and the house was listed yesterday with 4 showings today. She only wants half the value of my firearms which is nice but they have to remain in storage till 2024 unless she has a change of heart and drops the stupid PO. My nightmare should end Aug 26th at the latest. Now to find an apartment or home to rent for the next year.

Does it have to be storage or can family hold them?

Tuesday morning. How about the full moon last night?

You know there’s an “unsubscribe” button right?

I wouldn't mind a reasonable number of emails to keep track of sales. But 3-4 a day is ridiculous. Do they really think they will increase sales that way?

Well, sometimes the "people in charge" think "more is better".


And some of us think, those people are idiots.

I've never seen wood grain like that.

Seriously? or pulling my leg? I know you've seen a lot of stuff.

If serious, it looks better in person as you move it around in different light. Hard to capture the chatoyance with the cell phone.

That particular pattern.

At the Lake County government center about a gun bill.
50 minutes in, and they are still "housekeeping" (bills, pay, etc.)

Spent my Monday at the Court building, hoping I wouldn't get picked to be on a jury. As interesting as the process is, the trial I would have been serving on was going to last into next week, so I wasn't looking forward to that. I did luck out, and never got put in "the box".

Can you tell us more about said gun bill? I must admit to being ignorant on local actions underway.

They cast a wide net with a large volume of mail and if a couple percent result in new sales, it's a win for them.

It was your lucky day. I have been put in the box twice, released the first time and stayed for a three-day trial the second time. I find the jury selection process to be interesting, hearing everyone's views and life experiences that may or may not influence their opinions on the case.

I guess, but I would think that it would **** a lot of prospective customers off. What can they say in 4 emails that they can't say in 1?

I served on one trial jury a few decades ago. One is enough, if I have my way.

You're right though, the people are interesting. Yesterday, had a guy pull the race card in order to avoid service. He said he couldn't be fair to the prosecution because he had been traumatized by how law enforcement had interacted with his "disadvantaged hood". Judge let him go with a quickness.

Others worked hard to get let go, but backed off when the judge put the screws to them. Most of them got gone too, eventually. In the big scheme of things, I guess it's best to get rid of reluctant jurors. They won't operate in good faith anyhow.

Both of my experiences in the box were on murder trials. I was shocked at the number of potential jurors who detailed how their lives had been impacted by the murder of a relative or friend. Also, a number of people reported being wronged by the system as you described.
