Thanks for the tips! I am over the 35 year mark so I don’t always understand how this shit works.

Gah! Gah! Gah! Forget stranger danger. Let’s start a band called “Uncle Danger”.

Danka!

I went non-practicing because I like seeing the sunlight now and again. But now I work in police oversight which, well, I’m sure you can imagine how open they are to that. And since I no longer make lawyer money but have lawyer student loans, I have a part time retail job! Hooray for the administration of justice!

Also, have you the power to ungrey? If so I beg of you to bestow it on me...it would go along way to help me forget my uncle’s hand on my ass. And just sicked in my mouth a bit. Apparently, that’s not an easy one to forget.

Your user name makes sense now. I often feel the same way.

As an aside if anyone is interested in the intersection of R&B, and country there was a really great album made in the 90's called “Rhythm, Country, and Blues”. I believe you can watch the making of the album doc on Youtube. I watched it on Much Music back in the day.

I don’t really know. I’m not a huge country fan. But, according to his wiki, “ His greatest musical success came in the early to mid-1970s, when he became the best-selling performer for RCA Records since Elvis Presley.^[2] During the peak years of his recording career (1966–87), he garnered 52 top-10 hits on the Billboa…

Thanks. I hope you see this. Because I am in the greys so never know if anyone can see me *yells hello into the cavern*. I’m never really sure how people can see country music as white people music when um, it started as black music. But, I also have the luck to be from Newfoundland, which despite being the most Irish…

I wish I had read this before I commented up thread. I assume you to are a lawyer? If so, *hand shake* and *holds out bottle of TUMS used to control the acid that rises from knowing we have to be neutral and properly administer the justice system which includes the duty, FOR A SUPER GOOD REASON, that we vigorously…

Yup. One of those in my family. He just died. Luckily, my Dad always hated him so he wasn’t allowed in our home (my mom’s brother). He once asked me to dance at my cousin’s wedding (under the guise of teaching me to waltz...and family wedding so you dance with family members). I agreed because I hadn’t seen the guy…

I think what Whatthefoxsays is trying to impart is that Subway’s failure to act may not create a duty to Jared Fogle’s ex-wife under the law. I’m a lawyer, but I’m in Canadaland so I can’t speak to what the state of tort law is in Indiana. However, (and I apologize if you are a lawyer and I’m explaining what you…

True that. Thou as someone who spent a lot of time in a small town in Wales trying not to get a kicking from the chav girls with Croydon face lifts (if you don’t know Google it-worth it) that hung out by the off licence Lady Sovereign’s demographic was real, and definitely harder than Iggy. Spoiler Alert: There was no…

Two words: Charlie Pride.

Died at, “She’s hot...maybe we can pull this off.” Mens they are all the same.

I’m always glad when Jane Austen gets recognition, but after reading all of the modern Austen retellings from the series this book came from I liked Sittenfeld’s the least. I enjoyed the way she moved Lydia’s plot line away from Wickham but still gave Darcy a way to intervene positively in her relationship. But…

I know that if you have sought out close female friendships and you were betrayed it would be hard to come back from, just like a break up. But as a huge fan of having a girl squad (I even put up with that same bitch that every time she gets a partner is like, GHOST BITCHES, until he breaks up with her and then she…

As someone who has no horse in this race, but lives with a person who is OBSESSED I have been forced to watch the entire run. And my hot take? Nationalism is the scourge of the Earth and Westoros. I get that the Northerners want independence, but fuck your wants when the Night King can kill dragons. Cause you’re all…

Not necessarily. I used to be a Crown in Youth Court. Kids go off the rails for lots of reasons. I think that is what scares and overwhelms involved parents the most. When parents were negligent or absent it was easy to tell why their get got in trouble. Usually it was to force their parents to tell them no and…

This is a thing. I am a lawyer and I worked for the Crown here in Canada doing child protection work. People would always ask me if I thought the laws were too draconian. My response? Nope, they are just applied with bias. You can neglect and abuse a child on 500k a year it is just harder for us to spot because the…
