@Alohamaid: I wonder if she's not a family friend or something - she's about the same age, I assume. Maybe she's been telling the family that she can totally win the case, as soon as she passes the bar.

@MsWhatsit: Nope, now the prison economy runs entirely on snacks. Well, snacks and narcotics.

@SheelaNaGig: And if her former lawyer dropped her because she insisted on appealing, it's probably because she knows that an appeal is baseless. Which means that she can't ethically pursue it. I guess that's not a problem for her new lawyer.

@Tippi Hedren: Also, no sales tax.

Homegirl would get laughed out of kindergarten around these parts.

@crismess: She's juss jelusss.

@Alohamaid: Aw, crap. I knew it.

@Alohamaid: What's the story with this dude?!?

@HelloHappyFace: Woo hoo! It's hard to go wrong mixing liquor and ice cream.

I got Avatar on Netflix and I'm not sure if I should watch it. It was ordered for the brother but he's out of town right now. Is it worth a watch?

@ArmerFarmer: I thought the context of the original poster's story was quite clear. No need for nonverbal cues for me to know that she was directing her comments at the generalized experience of being treated as a decoration for men to enjoy.
