How do you seem to manage to be up for crazy scary jury duty??<br />Try saying "Hang 'em high!" if you are being considered again.

I've had to go to jury selection twice, and twice lucked out. It sounds like you don't want to be selected, so I hope you don't!Amy Saiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346366018143891761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470877934076705573.post-90588731517538144212011-06-13T17:52:02.505-04:002011-06-13T17:52:02.505-04:00Go for the wine...this advice from your loving sis...Go for the wine...this advice from your loving sister-in-law....Hope your B-Day was great!!!!!!<br />Are we on for Labor Day Weekend....I never HEAR from you...I have a Jury Duty story not to be repeated on a BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470877934076705573.post-37347669438435538522011-06-13T16:32:18.764-04:002011-06-13T16:32:18.764-04:00Susan, My name is Arleen. Thank you for thinking ...Susan, My name is Arleen. Thank you for thinking of me for the awards but if I have to go court tomorrow, there is the possibility that I will be chosen for a trial. Who knows how long it could last. I don't know if I would have time to do the blog. I will see how tomorrow goes.<br /><br />To Jane and Lance, Molly and, again, Susan, I also think being on a jury would add some spice to my life, lord knows I need it. More though than being selected, I am worried about getting there, as the courthouse is in Philadelphia, about an hour from my home. I used to work there before I was married and now we sometimes go into the city for special occassions, but hubby navigates. Many years ago I knew the city well, but that was a long time ago. The last time I went to court, I did get lost and was almost late, and I am worried (because that is what I do best) it will happen again. I am going to take a 7 AM train into the city, but many times there are delays. You can see I have a whole horrible scenerio mapped out for me already and am getting myself into a heap of nerves. I think maybe I should have a few glasses of fine, fine wine tonight to calm my anxiety tonight That should help, however, it might impede me from waking up on time.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470877934076705573.post-30821105908223472362011-06-13T15:46:39.983-04:002011-06-13T15:46:39.983-04:00I've never served in a Federal court, but have...I've never served in a Federal court, but have served on jury duty multiple times before. Maybe I'm weird, but I thought it was a fascinating experience, and thoroughly enjoyed it. (Of course, there was never any concern about finding a horse head in my bed, either ...)<br /><br />You are so funny. I wanted to select you on my blog today for those two awards, but I realized I don't know your first name. Seemed weird to call you "starting over". BUT, if you're interested in doing the challenge mentioned on my blog, please grab the awards (you deserve them!)and have at it. I just know you have some delicious secrets to tell.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470877934076705573.post-10675753935216533142011-06-13T15:12:48.685-04:002011-06-13T15:12:48.685-04:00Starting Over - I have only ever done Jury service...Starting Over - I have only ever done Jury service once and that was at Crown Court. It was sooo tiring as you have to concentrate on every little bit of evidence! One funny part was when a perspiring policeman had to read out a statement given by one of the defendants. What an eye opener - I'd never even heard some of the swear words used before :) It ain't what you say - it's the way that you say it!! Anyway if you do get picked - the experience is worth it - honest :0)Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470877934076705573.post-2870126090443780782011-06-13T02:41:45.196-04:002011-06-13T02:41:45.196-04:00Hello:

But, equally, apart from the inconvenience of it all, try to view it as another of life's experiences from which, we are sure, you too will gain something of value which might not, in the first instance, be immediately apparent.
