Half the guys here probably wish they were the one you flirted with.
Seriously, it's very admirable for you to say what you just said Chakka, but if I were you I wouldn't worry about it.

Who is the best looking, most intelligent,
by Dutchie inbest dressed, wittiest, sweetest, nicest woman who posts on this forum?.
it's eyegirl .
the fact that she sent me the best christmas gift that arrived in the mail today, to my total and complete surprise and delight, has absolutely nothing to do with my assessment of this person!

Hey, count me in as an eyegirl fan.....she's a good friend!
One of my fave "features" about her is her accent - sounds Canadian even though she is not north of the border. Cool indeed.

CB,
The lead defense attorney went to the judge and expressed deep reservations about defending the guy. However, the judge mentioned that the accused is entitled to a defense.
Why they took the case to begin with, I'm not sure. Made for good TV, I guess.
Tres, as for David E. Kelly, at least he got some comeuppance recently - his creation "girl's club" (yes folks, all lower case letters) was cancelled after just two episodes. I guess people didn't find the lives and, oh, yeah, the work, of three babe attorneys to be compelling TV.

Did anyone else see last night's airing of The Practice?
The firm defended a guy accused of repeated molesting a teen-age boy. The guy even admitted to his lawyers that he did it. The lawyers defended him sucessfully mainly on two points:
1. They mentioned that the boy was the only witness to the deed.
2. They attacked the boy's credibilty - he did have some history of lying and of cheating on school tests.
However, in this case, the boy was telling the truth. The jury verdict was interesting. They said "though there is a strong possibility of guilt, we find the defendant not guilty".
As I mentioned, the guy did admit to it, so anyone watching the show knew he was guilty.
Any thoughts on the episode?
My thinking was that they were obviously able to put questions in the mind of the jury about the boy's credibilty. Though 'one witness' was also hammered home by the defense, it appeared that it was the boy's questionable credibilty that did him in. However, I did think it was interesting that the 'one witness' argument was presented.

Going in service on holidays
by dsgal in.
remember how embarrassing it was to show up at someone's door on a holiday?when i was a teenager i went out with a very zealous pioneer sister on christmas day.we worked an upscale neighborhood of town and of course all the servants were off so they would answer the door themselves.i rang one doorbell and a lady came to the door and i could see her family inside sitting in chairs in a circle opening gifts.they all looked at me to see who in the world was calling on christmas,i suppose.i gave my presentation with a red face and she just looked at me and said"don't you know today is christmas?
"how embarrassing is that?so glad i don't have to do that anymore.

I always felt self-conscious and embarrassed doing holiday witnessing, especially on the more family-oriented ones like xmas. I think the householders deserve a break form that stuff on holidays. I think many witnesses really don't enjoy it; in fact, attendance for meetings for field service on such days is usually pretty poor in my area. On top of that, many fo our favorite coffe-break sites are closed.

Thanks very much Dana, take care.
Btw, I wil be rooting for Ohio State on Sat. vs. Michigan....I like both teams, but I'd like to see OSU play in the title game, though I doubt they'd beat Miami.

Thanks must be relayed to our resident "researchers" (cough, cough) LB and TH. Good pics there, guys. I think Britney looks prettier than Shakira, but when Christina isn't doing wierd stuff with her hair, I think she is hard to beat.

Thank you for the replies and the well-wishes.
Xandria, thank you for the informative web site posts!! I checked them out, and fortunately, I do not seem to be extending hospitality to any of the critters listed. But who knows - I go back to the doc on Tuesday, and we'll see what she says.
Hugs to Beck, Robdar, Sloan, and ugg...hope I didn't miss anyone.
My wife tells me that this thing will eventually work its way up to my brain, and then die because there is nothing there.
ugg, I am soaking in a solution of 1 gallon of water and a pill provided by the doc that is actually poisonous if swallowed (my daughter says she will gladly mix this with my oral medication.). It turns the water purple, and it's supposed to work against the secondary infection that I have which may be due to bacteria or fungi. My toenails are now purple, lol. I guess now I know what it would look like if I had ever decided to paint them.

As some of you know, I have recently been away to the tropics. I returned about a month ago. What I am posting is mainly for information purposes, and it's not meant to make anyone queezy - but it might.
When I was down there I started to experience some itching and burning around the toes of my left foot. Though I have not had problems with athlete's foot since the days a long while back when I'd shower and change in the local gym's locker room, I do occasionally get a small crack or opening in that area if my feet are wet. So I figured I just had a mild case of athlete's foot, and treated it as such.
Well, after several visits to my family doctor and a specialist, it seems that I have been infected by a parasite. This became evident after swelling, blistering, and especially an odd tunnel-like red trail around the bottom of my foot, a zig-zag line that erupts with pronounced itching, and also hurts when I put my weight on it.
I did some research on the Net and consulted my doctor, who was so intrigued by this thing that she had my foot photographed so that residents can be instructed. Such problems are very rare where I live, and she had to call around to several pharmacies to find appropriate meds.
Evidently, such parasites, in this case likely some type of larvae, can be just about anywhere at a beach resort in the tropics. And since I was all over the place barefoot, I could have picked this little critter up fairly easily. For example, such parasites often inhabit feces of animals (and there were some cats at the resort to ward off birds that tried to help them selves to buffet scraps). The cats were sometimes on the sand in the area too,
So I learned quite a lesson - never to again take for granted that walking around barefoot is not always such a great idea. Obviously, I was having fun and not really giving thought to foot care, but next time, I'll think differently.
One thing that the doc said, and my research and her med book confirmed, is that this thing is evidently "self-limiting" - thus, even without treatment it would eventually die, but that could take up to three months. Needless to say, I don't want to wait that long.
So if you're vacationing around water, pools, hot tubs, sand, etc, and you may be prone to maybe a getting a little opening of the skin around the toes, well, like I said, I posted this for info purposes.
In closing, I'll add that the analogy to Star Trek II has popped into my mind, but those critters were a LOT bigger and nastier, lol.

Joanna, that is funny.
Yerusalem, I had the same problem with that lyric too.
And yeah, the Manfred Mann song was always a laugh too.
