Today

I am getting a cold, my head is stuffed up and my nose leaks badly. A good day to stay home and rest. But alas, no. Today I am heading downtown to report for Jury duty. BLAH! I postponed it in Dec. when the little boy in my class died, and so there is no postponing it again. Oh well, at least I am not around the children in my class and hopefully I will get dismissed. I will take a bag with some items to amuse me while I sit in the jury room for hours on end before getting called. I am so glad we have a country that allows trial by jury (even though many cases go to jury that clearly shouldn't)~ I just am not one that wants to be on a jury.

Have a great day!

I've never been called for that. Yay, on one hand, but on the other, it would be an interesting experience.

My cousin got selected for a murder trail that she said was interesting but I have never even been called. My husband has a many, many occasions but never been selected.

I certainly pray you heal quickly. God Bless!

No, I don't want to be called either mainly because I don't drive downtown and the court is in an undesirable neighborhood. I have served on a jury, years ago, the experience wasn't too bad and we did get free lunch and travel expenses.
Sorry, you're getting a cold. Drink lots of warm drinks and gargle with salty water.
I imagine being in school, you're are exposed to the bug more often.
Have a good week regardless,
