Obvi. Sorry for late reply, I almost next check my kinja notifications anymore!

I was on!  and he didn’t let me finish my dumb story! sigh. 

I should have known I’d find another one of us in the comments here ;) 

If no one strikes her for cause that would probably be malpractice.  Hell, I’d use a peremptory on that. 

I am so so so sorry for your loss and for what I am sure is/was a lot of time trying to figure out how to deal with it. My mom killed herself and it’s been brutal (especially a lot of comments from dumbasses) but I can’t even imagine it with that added layer. Sending strength to you.

aha.  NYC here. 

It’s funny because I life in a Jeopardy-first state (New York) and I’m always like WHY WOULD ANYONE SHOW WHEEL FIRST??

He’s very heavily made up for filming (to be fair, we all were), but very polite and charming. The buzzer’s a little tricky, but you get some rehearsal time to figure it out!

I know the air date, but I don’t want to doxx myself TOO bad.  It’ll be in the fall :) 

Any Jeopardy nerds here?

My mom was a hand model! They used her hand completely unattributed in this movie poster, which she didn’t realize until she saw it around the city. She made a huge stink and got a big settlement and used that to see her first therapist. I like the story.

Attorneys for Perry countered that Gray doesn’t have the patent on sounds, okay?

Yes!  I’m 6 years into a career that I love :) 

I studied for the bar while going through a breakup. It was hell. My anxiety got so bad that I got up and ran to the bathroom and vomited 4 separate times over the course of the two days. Even my always-supportive parents were convinced I had failed.

Nope. These are typically career attorneys who serve through several administrations. Attorneys have ethical obligations not to make misrepresentations to the court, and they are obligated to withdraw from a representation when the client puts them in the position of either lying or revealing something that will inure…

Yup. I’m taking on all the things. Keeping busy helps. I worry about what happens when I no longer have to track down all her bank account info, and other busy work. 

Thank god my dad’s childhood friends have literally been calling to check on him every day, so I guess you’re right. 

Thank you so much for sharing this story with me, and I’m so sorry about your mom.  I have sort of moved in with my dad for the time being, so we’ve got the togetherness part down... (we live in separate parts of the same city, so we won’t be too far even when I return to my “real” life, whatever that is)

I remember when you were dealing with your daughter’s issues, and told you that I was feeling that pain with you, because I know how hard it is to have someone who is SO important to you in so much pain, and being unable to fix it. I hope she is doing well now. <3

Thanks. I’m currently temporarily living with him so we can support each other (different part of the same city) and we have both taken time off work. I worry about what happens when I have to go back to my life in my own apartment. Sigh.
