Quiver0f10 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 In Arkansas we are on call for 4 months and my turn has come up LOL. I was praying before they would excuse me, which didn't happen, so hopefully I wont get chosen tomorrow. Not terribly important, but I don't know if I can wear regular pants yet as my belly button incision is still pretty sore. I have been wearing sweat pants and I wonder what they would think if I showed up in them LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Call the phone number they gave you and tell them you just had surgery. I think they will put it off for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 You could take your gallstone into court with you. I would think you would be excused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraceyS/FL Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Wear the sweats. When they ask WHY - tell them, i had surgery a few days ago. But really, don't risk hurting yourself and your incision over it. Flash it if you have to :D Here in FL you are excused if you have a child at home under 6 and don't work. I'd be fine for going - but the 2 times they hit me up i was #1 pregnant & due any day, but DD hadn't turned 6 yet & then #2 i was nursing and still had an under 6yo in the house. DH's boss went to his court date in shorts - he was working, it was the middle of the day - and they threw him OUT of the court since he wasn't properly dressed. But i'd probably call and ask about attire i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is so impressive what you have done!!! Did you have surgery? I was on vacation so missed any news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it had to do with your gallbladder since that has been giving you problems for quite a while. I'm glad you are feeling better!!

Tammyla Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm glad you're feeling better. Go ahead and wear what is comfortable. I'd be surprised if they didn't excuse anyone who recently had surgery. Would you be able to sit for long periods of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Ha! they just called back and the parties settled out of court so I don't have to go now. My name goes back into the pool. Gee that was easy enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMom2One Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I got my "official letter" and have to report for jury duty on Thursday! I haven't had to do this in so many years that I can't even remember when it was. We serve for one month in my county, and it starts by reporting for duty at 8:00 a.m. in person. They may not let me serve since my grown ds is a police officer, but I really don't think I'm biased. I hope they let me serve, I really do. Guess I'd better go pack my book and get out the knitting gear. I've been putting off learning to knit and somehow this seems like a good time.

Pam Wilhelm Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I don't know how it is in other states....... but in Georgia, if you homeschool you are exempt from jury duty....... at least until the kids are a certain age or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had to do this in so many years that I can't even remember when it was. Too funny! I don't really mind serving and I am looking forward to learning the ins and outs. I just don't want a long trial, thats all I ask LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you can only be excused for very little. She said she didn't care if you had a nursing baby. Get a bottle. No baby sitter, find one. etc. Yikes .

Valerie in Chicago Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hmmmm..... perhaps a Star Trek uniform and a big badge that says, "Hang 'em high!!" ????? Bet you'd be home to that nursing baby in no time! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
