Evening

musicalsunlight · May 2012

That is a huge bummer, Angel.

I feel badly for your FI. Having family with confidence in you is the best feeling, so I wish he had that too.

It is a silly thing for me to feel happy about, but my dad does a shitton of writing for his job and had to write like an 100 page paper at one point, and he has been my paper editor since HS. lol.

[QUOTE]How much can you look up and interpret with laws, Holly? I'm always curious the extent of what paralegals can do but I don't know much about it. <strong> I don't get it, Poke...is your shower on Sunday and she is going to a movie on Friday? So her movie isn't the same day as your shower? </strong>

<div>Basically what happened is that she wanted to see the movie the day it is released which is the same weekend as my shower. She can't really ask for two days off of her retail job in the same weekend so she chose the movie over my shower. </div>

[QUOTE]Musu, laws aren't typically that difficult to find and read. I've spent a lot of time reading legal jargon and whatnot, so I'm pretty good at reading laws and cases and such and understanding what they mean. I can interpret laws - that's not really legal advice, per se. I just can't tell people how they should act on the law.

</div><div>Gotcha, I know what you mean. Sounds kinda like what I can do right now, without the 'license' to do anything else. Paralegals do a ton of work, I am always impressed with the paralegal at my internship. She does so much for my mentor attorney. </div>

You and me both... he really needs it too, he gets so down on himself because of it. I honestly can't wait for him to get out of that house and away from them. I like them enough, but I know they beat his self esteem down constantly. He hasn't been the perfect child, he's given them trouble, but at least give him credit where credit is due, KWIM?

</div><div>Ohhh ok, now I get it. I was confused for a bit there. That is a bummer, I'm sorry she did that. I had a really good friend, like, we've been best friends since we were babies (well she was younger so I guess since she was born). I asked her to be a BM and she declined because she suddenly felt like we "grew apart" (which was totally out of the blue). Then she declined the shower invite because she said she was busy with work. I saw her Twitter the day of my shower and she said something about having the day off and how she was gonna play video games. It really hurt my feelings. I know how you feel. </div>

J's family is kind of like that too, Angel. None of them see any benefit in higher education so they don't really encourage him much. He's working so hard and I think he wishes that they gave him more credit. They are all from a small town and have never left the small town, except for his grandpa. He went to college and became super successful in business. So he's the only one that really cares and understands.

Its better to be safe than sorry, Holly! Good night!

angelstar975 · May 2012

I think I better head to bed too. So much for getting to sleep early tonight... hopefully I'll do okay on 6 1/2 or so hours of sleep..

musicalsunlight · May 2012

Yeah I should get back to studying, I SUPPOSE. :P Final bright and early. Good night!

<div>Yeah, I don't feel like she's being a very good friend. She also KEEPS telling me that she can't afford to buy me a wedding present. I have 59 items on my registry under $30. 20 under $10. Then when we went to the renaissance festival she complained that she had to go to the doctor so couldn't spend the $150 on souvenirs instead. I know I shouldn't judge what other people spend their money on - and I'm not, really. It just sucks that she tells me over and over again that she can't afford to buy me anything yet she spends a lot of money on "extras" elsewhere. Like, I'd rather her just not say anything at all - you know?</div><div>
