Not me spending a few hours researching and being positive that I downloaded several cases and uploaded them to the file before closing my 30 Lexis tabs

We anxiously waited months for that bill. Finally, on like the 3rd time I called to check they told me we didn’t owe anything. It is insane that we felt lucky about any part of that whole ordeal

I bet. Reminds me of once we were going from my wife’s insurance to my employer’s and for like 3 weeks the policies overlapped. During that time, my wife went into the hospital for 5 nights with what they initially thought was meningitis, ended up being sepsis.

Wow, that is amazing! We had a BCBS preferred plan, and a c-section after an attempted induction with 4 days in the hospital cost us $4k.

It is, and they along with their only real competitor Westlaw are insanely expensive. No one is using it unless their employer is paying for the subscription.

Agreed both guests were great, and everyone had great chemistry.

When she was trying to explain that it was not funny and inappropriate to be asking for a book about nipples, I was being super helpful by laughing so hard I couldn’t breath the whole time

Christmas lights will do it, but I’m also 33 asking myself “so…how much longer do you drive at night?”

Us too, we thought raisins were like onions, garlic, or even chocolate (other than dark). Best to be avoided, but with her being 50 lbs the amount she’d be able to get from anything she snuck at the house might be enough for some upset stomach and diarrhea.

1 raisin per 10 pounds is all it takes

Our toddler gave our dog some of his raisin bread one day. We were very lucky that it ended up with only a $2,000 emergency vet bill and a healthy dog afterwards.

It is no joke, we are now a strictly raisin free house

Are third family values the same as first family values? Might be a communication disconnect here. I never considered when they say “family values” they might mean act in a way where you have to keep trying again with the next family

The right amount of pasta is one box. 2 people eating, one box. 6 people eating, one box and maybe an app.

It’ll all get eaten and everyone will be happy either way

I don’t think it makes it much harder to sign someone else’s name digitally.

I’ve used the snipping tool to just pull my signature off a previous filing when my assistant was out, and I didn’t know where she saved my signature. Anyone else could have downloaded a filing from Pacer to do the same
