That's what sucks so much - of course I can't!

Lawyers, I correct them every time.

Judges and clerks, you gotta be nice to . . . no matter how stupid they are. :roll:

How do other people's toenail clippings lodge between your toes?

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I need to trim my beard and a haircut. I looked like Rasputin when I looked in the mirror after my shower this AM

Seeing as how referrals are a big part of the solo business, you might want to reconsider correcting the lawyers. In fact, in our adversarial profession, I'd suggest that refraining from correcting your colleagues on matters outside of the case at issue is part of the expectation of professional courtesy and civility.

It's actually well-meant advice, given far far outside of the courtroom.

Why is that I never crave anything that's actually on my diet?

Not a good year for my company. Just the headline of that NYT article is brutal.

I'm talking about colleagues with whom I already have a very good working relationship and who do not mind when I offer suggestions on their pleadings drafts nor do I mind when they do the same for me.

eta: I'd rather be corrected gently by a colleague than make an embarrasing mistake repeatedly by standing on pride.

Did you see last week's new one "A Thousand Suns"? They seem to be getting their grove back this season after some lackluster crap in season 8&9.

Putting on brand new socks is like getting new feet.
If I had one wish, it would be brand new socks every morning.

Men, if you're at the hardware store with your wife, looking for a new composting bin; DO NOT DO WHAT I DID!!
