Smartie's Dew Drop Inn Bar & Grill #59

I have another waste of tax payer dollars story. I was on a jury for an assault on a kid on skates by a 6th grader. The kid lost a tooth. We found out it was a baby tooth. Mom was trying to build a case for suing against the "bully's" parent's homeowners insurance. The kid was a little thug, but we didn't convict him. It cost his parents a lot of money to pay for their high dollar attorney, so justice was served.

 

This gal was definitely looking for a free ride. It came out that she was getting medical treatment for a slip & fall at Walmart a few months before she was supposedly in this crash. When the jury came back in with the verdict.. she came walking in dragging 3 little kids. She didn't make eye contact with any of us. She's a double moron for dragging this poor guy thru the courts since 2011, then demanding a jury hear her case. Guess her lawyer figured a 5 woman 1 man jury would sympathize with her. They were both wrong.

 

Our courts are so overrun with that kinda crap. But it's like one of the atty's said today... anybody can sue anybody over anything in civil court. It's a zoo.

They held eviction court this morning and that was kinda interesting. The judge tried to get the landlords to cut people some slack if it seemed like they deserved it. But mostly he called out names of folks who weren't there and granted evictions to the landlords.

Cold business.

 

I had an employee pull the 'slip and fall' when I was a middle manager at a large corporation. She saw deep pockets and claimed she fell over a carpet seam. Other workers said they saw her standing there and then when their backs were turned heard her yelling and when they turned around she was rolling around on the ground grabbing her knee. Not so unfortunately for her, security cams at the company's entrance caught her limping in to work that day on the same leg. She put in for a transfer and I gladly obliged. No they didn't fire her...in fact they paid her medical bills. She ended up living with the Vice President of the company.

 

Do you have to sit on more than 1 jury?

 

No... we were just a jury pool while evictions were going on. IOW, playing on our phones.

I haven't even told the worst part... about losing my car in the underground parking garage downtown. I knew I parked near the elevator on level 3, but didn't know there was more than one elevator bank. Must've walked around for 30 min trying to find somebody to ask... finally happened on a mailroom with the door open and a nice county employee directed me to the right place. I was frustrated and sweating when I finally got outta that dungeon... THEN it was on to JP court 10 miles away.

I'm just glad I don't have to do it again for at least a yr. It was harder than work.

 

Knob Creek! Oh yes!

 

Good morning and back to the real world! Hope everyone has a marvelous day!

 

I dunno. I'm thinking more in line with a nice Gasthaus { German Tavern } where
you enter a whole other world once inside.Wood everywhere and not a speck of
plastic in sight.Pleasant and melodic Vienna waltz music can he heard as if
in a storybook setting.Streams of thick white smoke from pipes and cigars
that add to the surroundings,yet aren't intrusive.Little tables mostly, with an
occasional big table and of course enclosed side booths.The beer flows as does
the conversations,however down to mere whipsers.Because the year is 1936 and
the gestapo's are out in full force,Germany entering a phase that it can't reverse itself.
Loud speakers are installed in town squares to inform the public of who is on
the gestapo's list.Descriptions are made over these loud speakers as well.
That was Then.
This is ... ?

 

Morning, Foolie. Sounds like a Twilight Zone episode. You been watching reruns again?

 

Ahhh, looks to be good day so far...

 

I'm loving this rain in Beaumont, I just wish it would rain at my house.

 

We got some good showers yesterday. .. hoping for more today.

 

Late lunch, eat up and enjoy.

Chicken/Shrimp/Sausage Gumbo for dinner tonight! Wife had a late doctor's appointment and I decided to make something that would keep for her until she got home. Enjoying a bowl of it now.

 

Throw a little pepperoni & Italian sausage on one of those leftover healthy things and I'll have it for supper, OK?

Sounds yummy, Max. You're a good hubby. While I was in Galveston, had a bowl of crab bisque at my fav Pier 21 restaurant. Best stuff on earth right there.

 

Ummmm...crab. I have a packet of crab frozen, and thought about tossing it in, but deferred to toss in frozen shrimp because it was older. Now you have me thinking of what to do with it.

 

SHHHHHHH!

People are getting ready for bed.
Prunie.

 

Love Dino.

9 pizzas is a quick lunch?

 

Um ... did you count the crab.How do you know you weren't short changed.
Or it wasn't that Pollock { much used fish for Crab salad }.
Used to be Scallops were given the quick once over.
Know Thy fish.
Better still make friends with the local fishmonger like them old ladies used to
with the local Butch { Butcher }. I lot of good it did for - Marty - {1955 } Best Picture.

 

Ernest Borgnine won an Oscar. A fabulous movie. East of Eden
was the same year.

Truthfully, I've not found a use for Crab Bisque. Tried polishing the floors
with it and it was a disaster. The Midgy Widgy won't eat it. I thought it was
too thick to use as a drain opener. Am I wrong? How do you use it?

 

This is sooo embarrassing.

I just drove the truck into the front of Smartie #58. I wish
this site would put up road signs.

My britches are caught on a... a... I don't know what that is.
But, and it's a big but, it's seems to be breathing... I've seen
her before...

Midge is peeing on the carpet. I think it's carpet.

Oh good grief... it's my favorite jacket I lost a couple of months
ago with my favorite blue jeans...

I'll be glad when Friday gets here so I can do some serious
drinkin'. When is Friday this week?

 

Ya'll enjoy and mail me some of these.

This is my last post until my next post.

I know this woman who told me that women always have chocolate. I told her
that I've asked women for chocolate and they told me that they didn't have any.
She assured me that they were lying. Women always have chocolate.

A few months ago I faked a robbery in an attempt to find some chocolate in her
purse and failed. But, and it's a big but when I kissed her goodnight her breath
was rife with chocolate. Not just milk chocolate but White, Dark, German, Swiss
and Hershey's! I was using seasoned criminals to help with this experiment

I'd like to know where you dames, I mean dames, broads, chicks, birds, etc...
hide your chocolate.
