I understand where you're coming from... in general people just complain too much ;)Blossom Barden (NorthLaurel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07809939585303395939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846019086778213773.post-74521178589159888932012-02-16T14:45:23.762-06:002012-02-16T14:45:23.762-06:00I don't think I've ever been summoned. Tha...I don't think I've ever been summoned. That sounds funny that I don't remember, but the only thing I think I have was testifying in a trial when I was almost ready to have Emma. I panicked because it was the type of trial that could have lasted long into and past my due date. Thankfully there is a president for that. It didn't go to trial. <br /><br />I take testifying seriously as well. It is a heavy weight to be responsible for someones fate. Not all trials are murder trials but the outcome of a verdict can still be life changing none the less.<br /><br />I'm with you, I wouldn't want someone who didn't want to be there either!Libby@Everything's Coming Up Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748948698844030314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846019086778213773.post-73242603101104900132012-02-16T14:27:40.528-06:002012-02-16T14:27:40.528-06:00I will be more than happy to be on jury duty - tho...I will be more than happy to be on jury duty - though I think I'm so opinionated that I'll never actually get chosen from the pool! - but not right now. I actually was summoned in '10 and was able to put it off till '13 (at which point I can hopefully delay a few more years). It's just not realistic for me, with homeschooling and doing babysitting, to go to jury duty, especially if it ended up to be a long case. I don't have people who can care for my kids for me - and I would have to totally sacrifice all the babysitting income if I had to have the parents find alternate care for a few days or (heaven forbid) weeks. I'll be happy, though, to serve whenever needed when my kids are more independent and/or graduated. I wish they'd be more sensitive to that.Tina Hollenbeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694089806217921117noreply@blogger.com
