On my way to Court this morning.....

[FlamingoBlue]

I had breakfast at a "greasy spoon". Corned beef hash, rye toast and strong coffee prepared me for the weekly slaughter that they have each Wednesday in The Oakland County Circus Court, Family Law Division.

Well, after spending the morning participating in the bloodbath, I came home, poured myself a large glass of vodka, with anchovie olives, and began to ponder the fate of those of you who are willing to allow a Judge to make decisions about their lives. (I'm now on my second drink and it's just 1 pm).

Wake up people. The Law is not capable of helping those of you that are smart enough to count to 100 and chew gum, at the same time. Try the best you can to put aside your petty grievances and solve your own problems. Keep the lawyers and the Judges as far away from you as possible. Take control of your lives!!!

Who am I kidding??? It must be the booze talking. People will never wise up enough to learn how to settle their own problems.

And so it goes.

Darling, what you need is a long massage and a nap, in a nice, cool, dark room.

It's not been a good week for me.

Three deaths, and counting, plus Monday's insanity and today's massacre. Think I'll take some time off.

Find a quiet cabin somehwere, far deep in the woods, or next to a lake. No phone, no computer. Just you and her. Alone. Peace, serenity. Remember what life really means. Not to the crazy people you deal with everyday, but to us out here solving and thinking for ourselves.

All work and no play make Blue a dull boy. Sounds to me like you could use some time off from facing Judge Judy and the bunch. Oh, and we still need that virgin sacrafice for your thread. Just keeping ya informed is all.

(((Blue)))

Keep it in perspective. It's a bad week... you've had worse. You'll have better.

You know what your real problem is Blue? You need to switch those icky anchovy olives for habanero olives.

I needed to vent, yesterday, and....

that is exactly what I did. I am taking a long weekend to finish up an emergency appeal to the Court of Appeals,to catch a little sun and to go house hunting with my daughter.

Life, for me is always beautiful. Some days are just more beautiful than others.
Thanks to all of you who responded to this thread. Your kindness and understanding is appreciated.

Here's an alternative...

Let's set up a fifty yard long row of flaming hot coals. Whoever lasts longer wins the suit. We could put it on NBC three times a week. It would make local and state governments millions

Or a death or submission match..either one would cut down the number of suits drastically

 

[FlamingoBlue]

Rambling, it wouldn't work, because....

I am a divorce lawyer. For anyone to REALLY win, everyone has to win.

Family law is unlike any other kind of litigation because the parties must continue to realate to each other. in the future, when children are invoved.The concept of a winner or a loser only creates future breeding ground for conflict.

Did you happen to read my earlier thread about the father and the 2 kids that died in a car wreck? If not, read it and tell me,after applying your logic, is the mother a winner??
