November 19, 2005 Thanksgiving Magic Cruise

[Mickeyhugger]

Tri-Circle, do people (relatives, close friends) 'hit-you-up' all of the time for free legal advice? My uncle (retired lawyer) used to get calls from extended family, etc., asking for advice. (Leave the poor man alone! )

DH is a tech supervisor for Gulfstream. I'm SAHM (volunteer a LOT at DD's school.) We live for Disney vacations!

Gas dropped here today from $2.19 yesterday to $1.99 today. I think I like this trend.

Well boy am I glad I didn't elaborate about the people I train!!

Well, I was hoping that I wouldn't have to disclose this until later, but I am an attorney, too (just like Mr. and Mrs. Eiss). Please hold the lawyer jokes. Seriously, one of my law partners and I have been friends for 20+ years. We socialize with our wives, and have taken trips together. For some reason, people sometimes act funny when you tell them that you are an lawyer, so back in the day, we used to say that we were firemen. Everybody likes firemen. Nobody cares if a fireman has a beer or acts crazy. After 9/11 it didn't seem right, so I can't use that cover anymore. Years ago we went on a cruise with a big group and took over the bar on karioke night. People were buying us drinks, some travelers from Latin America called us "Los Bombadiers" ( I hope that means "the firemen" in Spanish-maybe it means something else). We were famous for the rest of the cruise. Now, I'm just a boring old attorney.

The DW is a preschool teacher (4 year olds). She is the one who works hard in our family.

TCD_well you seem very nice and you have a great sense of humor so I guess not ALL lawyers are bad. Actually my husband had a really good friend from high school and she's really wacky and also an attorney, she married a jewish Dr. and they are not the sterotypes so I try not to judge people by what they do.
Thanks everyone for posting, sounds like we have a group of highly intelligent, fun people.

Lampy-now it all makes sense...a car salesman, I should have guessed!

Echinacea is a good idea, I will add that into the mix! What vitamins do you give your kids? This morning I had a one hour stand off with Jackson, world's pickiest eater/drinker and most stubborn child, over taking his airborne. He refuses all liquids other than water so the grape fizzy stuff is a real challenge. Mom won this round!

they take a multi vitamin, one-a-day or centrum plus now I'm giving them some extra vitamin c too. They are fairly good eaters and both love fruit (not veggies though), yogurt, etc so hopefully we don't get sick. I have hand sanitizer in the car, my purse and at every sink in the house. living in this dry Colorado air the hand sanitizer dry my hands even worse, but I also use lots of anti-bacterial lotion so we'll see!

Tri-Circle, do people (relatives, close friends) 'hit-you-up' all of the time for free legal advice? My uncle (retired lawyer) used to get calls from extended family, etc., asking for advice. (Leave the poor man alone! )

Funny you should ask. The family and I were at a church dinner just last night. I have my hands full of cups of lemonade that I am carrying to my table, and this sweet little old lady comes up to me, and shows me a 15 or so page contract and asks me if I think she should sign it. I mean, I don't go up to dentists that I know and open my mouth and ask them to take a look at my teeth!

Actually, it comes with the territory, and there is more good than bad. For example, my brother in law owns a Heating and Air Conditioning Co. In Florida, he is a popular guy. If we ever have a problem, he is there for us. If he ever needs anything from me, the same. I don't mind giving out free advice, just remember you get what you pay for.
