_bossanova_:
I'm with geckogirl-you owe us many more appearances down here than you're putting in.
It's always nice catching up with you.
It's always nice catching up with you.Since I asked Onie three questions, I am obligated to do the same. So, there is the deal: If you read this, you get to ask me 3 questions and it does not matter how personal, dirty, private, or random. I have to answer them honestly. In turn, you have to do the same in your journal by posting this message and answering the questions...

Nice to see have seen again man!!
andreaandrea:
I was good to meet you as well. We look forward to the next time...we'll stick around longer.
Damn car problems. While I stuck here watching the Braves game at home, the SGATLiens crew is throwin' down again. I could complain more, but no one will give a shit.
On a more lighter note, I highly recommend Keane's album, Hopes and Fears. Words fail me in describing how good this album is from start to finish.
So, what's new with the rest of...

Thanks for the birthday wishes. And nice saying.

Thank you, sweetie. I know a lot of my longtime friends on here have seen me go through this with him before...but this is it, which just makes it harder. So thank you.
I begin my career (OK, summer, but it's a start) as a public defender in less than 3 weeks.

Despite the fact that I have four felony jury trials on Monday, i decided that I needed to get out of the house and see the SGATLiens crew. And I am glad that I did. Llona, you are always on the top of my list people that I would like to see, and I am so grateful that you think highly of me. Onie, you...

There are times that I have great things to write in this journal, but when I sit in front of my computer to type, my brain goes completely blank. So, in its place, you get this piece of crap.
Anyhow, a few thoughts:
1. While I am a healthy heterosexual male with an active imagination, I cannot fathom why in hell anyone would have sex...

Hahah.. I did partake too much, indeed. And you're right, I DO need to get down to an ATLiens event. I was supposed to make it to the open event, but work got in the way (grumble, grumble). Damn clients and their need to have everything done NOW when it could just as easily wait.
How's the transition back to the old job going?

I am stuck with rape cases, children charged with agg. child molestation, vehicular homicide cases, and more work than one lawyer can reasonably can handle. But you know what? To quote Droopy, "I'm happy." Also, to quote Dwight Yoakham, "and there is no other place that I rather be."

By the way . . . Is the GA public defender state-funded?
luis:
Wow, that's awesome. Some of those remind me of place I've seen in Kentucky. One of the disadvantages of being a military brat is not being able to call any one place home.
Some random thoughts:
I took some pictures of my grandmother's home yesterday. Some people do not believe that I am one generation removed from farmers. I will have the pictures to prove it soon.
Although I learned of the crap that I am going to inherit at my new job, I am still happy and damn proud to say that I am criminal defense attorney,...

2. I feel that I am facing a mighty thunderstorm and I know that I should run and take shelter. However, I am...

I seriously, seriously admire you. I know the temptations of the well-paying legal job and I know how hard it is to leave one. Congratulations. You are a better person than I.

Crown lengthening involves reshaping excess gum and bone tissue in order to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to one tooth, to even your gum line, or to several teeth to expose a natural, broad smile.
Crown lengthening often makes a restorative or cosmetic dental procedure possible. This is especially true if you have a...
