Unfortunately, Walter Reed is not accepting any cards addressed to  "any injured soldier," and the post office is now returning all mail addressed to "Any Injured Soldier"

If you would like to send a card go to

http://www.letssaythanks.com/Home1024.html

Pick your card and a saying and it will be included in a care package to the troops.

How about husbands?   LOL

My pet is Colonel, the biggest German Shepard I have ever had.  He is mostly black, has a huge head, and weighs around 103 pounds.  At least he did the last time I took him to the vet.  He is spoiled, but I love him anyway.  Probably love him more then I love Jim.  At least that is what Jim says to me.  LOL

Here is Kjell and Colonel. Kjell used to walk every evening and come by and get Colonel. They are the best of friends.

Beautiful Shepherd!!!

Jury service in Houston

Similiar to w Gray.  You start in a big room with assigned numbers.  Then they call numbers and dismiss you or send you to the courthouse for jury selection.

We are having such a problem with people showing up that one judge in Sugarland (small town sw of houston), sent his bailiff into the streets and started pulling in everyday citizens off the streets (http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=local&id=3372245). 


Many potential jurors here have complained of being treated poorly by the officers of the court and the judges.  They are trying to change this impression so much so that the judges are now sending thank letters to prospective jurors if they show up (my dad got one).

I actually think I would really enjoy being on jury.  I think it would be interesting.  However, being totally self employed I would have no income at all and if the case went on very long it would be quite a hardship.  I just simply write a letter stating my situation and I have always been excused.


In Texas most employers don't pay for jury duty.  You get paid 6.50 for reporting to jury duty but it cost 7.00 to park.

My mom got called for jury duty once and they called her for a murder trial.  The attorneys were grilling her about the death penalty in which she told them she could not sentence someone to death (her reasoning, unless she was willing to kill the person, she couldn't force someone else too).  The judge didn't believe her and threatened to throw her in jail for contempt of court.  After much arguing and pleading my mom was fed up and told the judge to put her in jail.  The judge dismissed her at that point.
