*pokes head in cautiously*

In WA if you are selected for a jury, depending on the trial, you go Monday through Friday. You get paid $10 a day for going but you do get compensated for your mileage.The judge is certain that it will be over Tuesday but I really think that will be left up to us.

My kitty has been pretty content to lay under it when it is lit up. It is artificial, so I don't know if that helps deter the eating.

My kitties don't eat the tree either.  They like to play with any ornaments that may have fallen and check out the tree's water dish.

Does anybody else watch the new Hawaii Five O?

We usually put a train around the base of our main tree and it freaks the dog out when we run it so she stays away from the tree even when it's off.  i have a 90 lb scaredy-dog.

That's quite smart Loopsters.

PetalPockets2012

Too funny Loopy.

Growing up our trees would seem to not last very long. We finally realized that the dog was drinking all the water for the tree. I guess she liked it better. Too much trouble to move about 10 feet away to her water bowl.

I don't watch that, Midge. Is it good? I always love the commercials because I see all the Lost people. 

I almost started watching when Locke popped up in a commercial. 

nhahn2206

C- what is the trial about? Or can you not say?

ETA: Hi Ladies!

Ciaram22

All I'm am allowed to say is that it is criminal.

midgetthemighty

Yes, it's very well done. The episode FI and I just watched from the DVR had Jimmy Buffet and Brittany Spears' twin guest starring. I swear the resemblance is eerie.

Loopyseven

Hi nhahn.

I haven't really seen you around before.  Tell us about yourself.  If you've done this already, fill me in cause I missed it.

nhahn2206

Hi Loopy. Sorry I wasn't more helpful with the job thing. I was hoping we'd have more similar career paths.

I popped on here a few weeks ago to introduce myself. I get bored in the evenings and love that you guys always have a thread going.

I work in food and beverage at a country club, got married in September, have two adorable beagles, and wish that it wasn't going to be a low of -3 on Monday. Anything specific you'd like to know? I'm an open book.

C- I'm intrigued. I don't have much interest in actually doing jury duty, but think it could be cool if I had to do it.

eorea

Welcome, nhahn! I was married in September too.  

Ciaram22

I think the hardest thing about jury duty is the fact that I can't talk about it. Not talking about it is the hardest thing. It's like a secret that someone tells you that you need to tell someone but you know you can't. Only this is against the law.

Loopyseven

That's okay, I appreciate you reaching out to me just the same.  I have waited tables at a few points in my life.  It's a fun industry.  I celebrated my first anniversary in September.  What is your favorite meal and what do you think of Tom Hanks?

andy71781

Russel Wilson just made my husband happier than I've made him in a loooong time.

nhahn2206

Sushi. I freaking love sushi. When you get out here (if you like sushi that is), you should try Izakaya Den. So good!

Tom Hanks. He's ok. I like Cast Away, but don't think he's a particularly attractive guy or anything.

What about you?

PetalPockets2012

Can you talk about it after the trial is over? Is it okay then?

Ciaram22

I am allowed to talk about it after the trial is over. Than god I don't think I would be able to keep it in forever.

Loopyseven

Sushi scares me.  I am curious about it, but it gets a little pricy for me to spend money on it to try it cause if I don't like it I'll be mad I spent $ on something I won't eat.  

I love Tom Hanks.  I have not seen Castaway.  But I'll pretty much see any movie on the basis of Tom Hanks being in it.  I think he picks awesome characters and does a great job with them.  Charlie Wilson's War is my favorite recent (ish) movie of his.

eorea

Well now I am really curious about it. Details after it's over, Ciara! 

I have never been on Jury Duty before. It would be hard to keep that secret. 

eorea

Whoa, Loopy! You have never seen Castaway? You must watch ASAP! Especially if you love Tom Hanks. 

Ciaram22

Trust me I will definitely be spilling the beans when it is over.

PetalPockets2012

Ok good. I will try to contain my curiosity until you can share.

I love Tom Hanks movies. I want to see that newer one with him and Julia Roberts. I love her too.

eorea

Besides Forest Gump, my favorite Tom Hanks move is That Thing You Do. My obsession with that movie when I was young was crazy. He isn't really the star of it but he made it. 

nhahn2206

Oooo I forgot about The Terminal! That's a great one! Maybe I like Tom Hanks more than I thought...

Ciaram22

I love Turner and Hooch and Big!

Loopyseven

I have moved Castaway to the top of my Netflix queue.
