I received this thoughtful email today through our contact form:

EMAIL: affiliates.militaryfriends@gmail.com
WEBSITE: http://www.militaryFriends.com
COMMENTS: 
I really like your blog or website or group……

I wonder if you are interested in having your own military dating site.  We can set it up for you at no cost if you have strong interest.  You can pick the name for your site, and own the domain and brand. We take care of all the backend and engineering work.

You don’t have to worry that no one exists at your site at the beginning.  It will have hundreds of thousands of members shared with other sites we have already set up.  Your users can immediately contact hundreds of thousands of other users once they register.

If you are interested, let me know.

That feels really heartfelt. Especially the part where she tells me she likes my “blog or website or group.” Feels like she really did her homework.

My dad sent me a link to this Flickr slide show from Barack Obama and his family on election night. It’s a mixture of intimate and public moments. Very nice.

This seems to be a real concern even though the distributor is claiming none of these coins made it to the US market. I know I find any in my kids Halloween bags, they’re out!

A warning to parents and kids regarding SHERWOOD BRAND PIRATE’S GOLD MILK CHOCOLATE COINS imported from China.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to eat, distribute or sell the candy.

It is sold across Canada by COSTCO and may also have been sold in bulk packages or as individual pieces at VARIOUS DOLLAR AND BULK STORES.   The chocolate contains MELAMINE which is the same chemical responsible for the death of several young children in China, and the sickening thousands more.

Real Life Lawyer Jokes

Monday, January 28th, 2008 by Rich

I’m not a fan of those overly-forwarded joke emails. But, every once in a while, one comes along that’s actually funny. This falls into that category, IMHO. I have no proof that any of these are actually true, but they fall into the category of “if it ain’t true, it ought to be.”

 

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters.
