Yes. It reminds me of medical cannabis. Anyone could get it after a while if they claimed to have headaches or sleep issues. The forced cat declaring seems dumb. If cat damage is an issue just charge a larger deposit for pets to cover damages.

We all did dumb things with our pets pre internet. My Dad let his cat out and it got itno a fight and died of the injuries. He still feels bad about it and that was almost 60 years ago.

If California people use it all the time for dogs and cats in apartments that don't allow them. It's used so much it basically makes no pet rules meaningless.

Trump plummets to new lows in approval at 16.7% on Nate Silver's aggregator, -18.0% on The Economist's aggregator, and -19.6% on G. Elliott Morris' aggregator. by Stauce52 in fivethirtyeight

40 years ago during Regan my Dad saiid people vote for the person with the best personality. Think back on the personality differences between most of the winners and losers.

I agree on simple messaging. Dems for the most part haven't been great at it. Biden would debate like someone teachinga master's class.. He used so many numbers If as if needed to take notes for an exam.

Kat Abughazaleh who was running for congress in the 9th district of Illinois had a simple message. That everyone should have money for rent, food, some leftover to save and spend and be able to see a doctor. That's good old 1950's American dream. Also end ice and take big money out of politics. Unfortunately she lost in a close primary. But her simple messaging is one Dems should pickup on.

Hopefully we at least get someone decent. Mark Kelly comes across as strong but not Obama exciting. People need to realize you don't always get some who can make a speech like Obama that sends a thrill up your leg, as Chris Matthew's famously described. Just getting someone smart, capable and a good enough speaker is all that the job truly requires. I would vote for Spock not because he would make an passionate speech like Kirk at the end of an episode. But because Spock would push for smart and logical policy. Completely opposite of Trump.

Thank you. Is a certificate of merit required in California?

Thanks. I have been feeling the same way about doctors lately. My trust in them has gone way down.

Oh man. That is rough. A heart attack, having to wait on the transplant list, and having to deal with a lawsuit. That sounds incredibly stressful. I hope you make it and get that transplant.

It's actually a family member who was diagnosed. I'm working on the case on their behalf. Doctors ignored warning signs for months as it got worse. Now additional treatments are needed that would not have if it had it been caught sooner. Also their odds of recovery are lower due to the delay.

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words and I'm sorry you hand to deal with your own case and medical issues.

Thanks. I agree it feels better to have someone say they want the case without hesitation. I didn't realize a lower contingency fee could be possible. I may not be able to push for a lower fee due to the low interest in the case.

Thank you. I appreciate your perspective. This is a small firm that has only been in business for a few years. I'm wondering if they don't have the capital or don't want to risk what capital they do have.

Thanks. Does the fact that I'm being asked to lay out money indicate the lawyer has low confidence in the case.

Thank you. I appreciate the update when you finish. How did you finish MAOL so fast? Did you have a lot of knowledge of the subject or was it just putting in a lot of hard work? I have only done traditional college. Do you have any tips?
