Damn, I didn't get that judge

But as my favourite divorce joke goes...
Q: Why is divorce so expensive?
A: Because it's worth it!

"if only" is the shortest sentence in the English language..."I do" is the longest

but it was the goat....

Who me ? Nice to meet you....I just ate The Hippy and I'm in charge now.

I bet more than half the court room has smoked MJ in their life.
Including Judges and crown attorneys. and here they are arguing against what even they want.....

Hey Goat... Go puke Hippy on the judge.

There should be an awful lot of warnings that you should have to read before they let you get married.

Absolutely, there should be mandatory 2 year courses and a 5 year back-out clause My ex hasn't worked a day since we split and there's no incentive for her to work, ever again. And that's after I spent a fortune to reduce the support amount (the investment in the lawyer more than paid for itself). Makes me sick when I think about it. Most of the time I just think of it as a very large tax break, it makes me feel better

But you know, Karma always catches up to you in the end. She's bitter selfish beatch now, hasn't had a relationship for more than 3 months since we split 6 years ago, my kids avoid her at all costs, while I have a great relationship with them and see them almost daily. What's that worth? All the money in the world to me...

[midge63]

I think patients are the only ones who know which strain is right for them better than anyone!

 

[midge63]

Gov't council downplayed patients self reporting on health as good only for "at least" knowing if they are feeling better.

 

[midge63]

Walsh said "I wouldn't say at least"

 

[midge63]

Walsh said limitations in the CAMPS study are balance by having a larger sample of respondents. Gov't lawyer picking that apart

 

[midge63]

I am not as good as you are at doing this doing dishes!

 

[midge63]

Walsh said he has confidence that the CAMPS study is representative due to research standards used and it passing peer review

 

[midge63]

Walsh: CAMPS study showed financial barriers to cannabis in the fee doctors charge for paperwork and the price of #marijuana itself
