OK we need some.

This may be funny to no one but me, but I'm 12 days out from trial and a little in the zone ATM.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see titles like "Married to a Canadian - Please HELP!" or In Love with a Boy from Xaire - HELP ME!" and just for a brief moment in time before you read the post wonder what exactly the person is trying to get help with -- immigration or relationship? It reminds me of those banner titles that used to appear on the True Romance magazines, honest.

I know that the first time I saw one of these, I wanted to post: "I can't help you, I have never been married to anyone from <fill in the blank here> but I'm sure they are nice people! "

As I said, it might be funny to nobody but me. But I've noticed it a few times in the last few days

Has anyone else ever noticed any thread titles that made you do a doubletake?

Oh well, back to expert witness prep I go

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has had that thought!

Hi:

Fortunately for this lawyer, most removal hearings are of what the "real" lawyers call "short cause" -- a LONG hearing will take several half-days.

Nonetheless, my better half recently was discussing something with me and paused in anger and said "you're not listening" and I replied "I've got a trial tomorrow" -- and she then said -- "OK, we'll talk in two days" -- she knows my mind is in a different space the night before and I'm dead to the world from exhaustion the night after.

However, I once made an appearance as a favor for my brother in probate court on a trial which was supposed to be continued. Instead the trial went forward and I was stuck there for four days. Fortunately, the entire first day was taken up with the direct testimony of the person challenging the will AND I represented only ONE of the beneficiaries of the will [e.g. there were three lawyers at defense table]. I do NOT recommend trial prep during lunch and the first evening of a four day trial. BTW, we won.

I have forgiven my brother and have warned my niece [a lawyer now for two years] to be careful of her dear old dad asking for favors.

DA, your post did make me smile!! And there is one currently called "married to a Brit (please help!) -- I am scared to show it to Kurt, as he is marrying a Brit -- me!! Is it that bad??

Giggle ... Debbie I was thinking of the same post when I started reading DA's post.

Don't worry Angel, you're not alone. I do wonder what they are talking about before I open up the thread, and I start envisioning topics from a bad talk show (i.e. Geraldo Rivera or Sally Jesse Raphael)

I love that one...... Married to a Brit (please help). It's actually a very sweet faux pass.

Hehe, I know what you mean... Going by some of the recent posts I was beginning to think that I was the only fiance who wasn't pregnant!

Cheers,

Mr Pink

I think that everytime I see the "I'm married to a Brit, HELP!" thread.

Nathan,

I just realized who that picture is of. Scandalous.
