They only time I eat crawfish is when I eat étouffée. I liked it ok, never tried it just by itself, tho.

Cool! I'm sure you're in for a good show.

Those poor animals in OH.

It appears the owner of the preserve set them all free and then killed himself. WTF is wrong with people. Did he think they were just going to find their way back to the wild?

When you reach the point of no hope, you aren't thinking rationally

I'm so jealous! I never get called for jury duty.

It's weird how it works. I've been called about 8 times, only one other time in the jury box selection but cut loose, and this time I was the last one picked and 20 or so other people were excused after me. Had they picked just one more number I would have not served.

And I've been called once a year for 2 or 3 years in a row, then nothing for 5 years.

It's an interesting process, and I've always wanted to actually get on the jury, but now is such a bad time for me. Had it been this time last year or 6 months ago I would have been fine with it.

My factory is in the monumental process of moving. My wife is having pretty bad health issues, and my brother is having surgery this morning. It's never very convenient to take time to serve, but I can't remember a time when I have had so many things going on at once. If I would have tried to postpone, they would have given me the Christmas break, and I don't want that even more than doing it now.

At least for now I'm only an alternate. If no one else drops out I may only need to sit in the trial today, and I won't need to deliberate. Unfortunately, listening to the whole trial and not being able to deliberate is the worst! Endure the pain, and not get the fun!

I know. Just. Still. Those poor animals. And the stoopid news for showing them just dead. That's not a lion watching over a sleeping zebra. That's a beautiful lion, and tiger, and bear (oh my) not sleeping

I know that they were trying to tranquilize as many as they could and shooting to kill was the most humane option they had for most. It just upsets me so much that this happened to begin with.

I hope that this spawns a crack down on exotic animals as pets and questionable animal "preserves".
