You have to prove you can't leave your job, are a gun "NUT", racially biased, a bigot, or just plain loony to get out here. It's not so easy here either.

They pick from your voter registration and driver licenses here I think. I wonder if they pick on the house address too? I'm not sure and I think every state is different.

I got to fill out a jury duty questionaire, I'm gonna do it on-line.
I hope I get picked, and I hope it's something good when I do get picked, and I hope I'm on the jury and I hope the trial lasts months.

This is something I've always wanted to do and have never been picked. What the hell.

When I first moved to NJ I used to get called every week. My ex the ass, he just made me throw out the letters. I'm surprised I'm not in jail for that!

At the time, I had no NJ driver license yet and I had not registered to vote ever. I wonder if like Trudi says, they went by the home owner and that we recently bought the house, we got picked?

I was actually on one one time, it took two days for the two of us to turn the other ten around and convict that sorry sack of shit. He probably really should have gotten away, I mean nobody really saw him doing it.
You should have seen the look on that fuckers face when they read the verdict.

I love, love, love it.

On a whole, people are a bunch of sheep who will follow anyone.

Not that you are "anyone" mind you.

I almost forgot, I saw some tasteycakes in the store yesterday....you know I bought them.
I have not tried them yet though because I made some giant 1/2+ pound fat burgers and homemade french fries for supper and had some turtle pie for dessert. When I'm bad I'm really bad, take like a 36 ounce package of hamburger and make 4 burbon soaked burgers, 8 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese, 4 giant kaiser rolls, about 4 pounds of potatoes cut into fries, some olive oil, a couple of cake pans and the george forman grill. Then that frozen turtle pie from walmart.
I also had about a quart of whitetrash white boxwine while cooking.

I'm thinking about making pumpkin bread today.

Man, those burgers sound good.

I've been experimenting with ground chicken lately. Made buffalo burgers and was very surprised they were delicious. Then I made lemon pepper meat loaf, again, super delicious. I can't think of a sauce to put on that so I used BBQ sauce for now. I'll devise something better as I play around. Matt's been getting a chicken chili when we do our monthly Tuesday night at Atlantic Bread Co. and he wants me to try my hand at that.

Beef is over $7 / pound right now and we just can't afford it, even chopped meat is over $5 right now. It's insane here. Lamb is cheaper, so we buy lots of lamb, chicken and pork, but these items are far from inexpensive too. When the recession hit, all the food prices here doubled and in some instances tripled. Fresh produce is also insane right now. Chile's earthquake is surely going to affect winter fruit and veggies now too.

Geeze I think I paid $6 and some change for a 36 oz package of 80/20 hamburger at walmart yesterday.

Yeah, you live where they keep prices reasonable. Big chains are allowed to set prices according to the financial status of the 'neighborhood' too. It's always been very expensive to live here, been saying that for ages now. I think the cost of living here is close to 50% higher than the rest of the country. When prices go up elsewhere, we get blasted with even higher prices.

You don't want to know what I'm paying for insurance on a 11 year old truck.
