1. In the morning I go to Fort Collins to see a doctor about my ankle.
2. Said doctor may schedule surgery.
3. Been working on my mom's apartment to make it more handicap accessible while she does PT at the nursing home.
4. She was taken to the nursing home about a month ago due to a very bad UTI, combined with her MS meant she was hallucinating big time and in no shape to be home alone.
5. She is pretty much 100% now and remembers basically nothing when she was hallucinating (for the better), she's just there for the therapy.
So YAY on more things I really didn't need to deal with (jury duty) in a relatively short expanse in time.

Well then you have a laundry list of reasons why you shouldn't be selected. I wouldn't fret too much on it.
Also forgot I needed a spare keyboard for a minute...

I'll just show up in a t-shirt, shorts, hat, and jacket while everyone else is in dress clothes.

I honestly don't know that that would be a deterrent.

3rd time for me. First time was bad because it was in the middle of the school year and I was also the main help for my mother who has MS. Sent a letter to the judge who excused me. The 2nd time was earlier this year and was just after my 2nd ankle surgery. Whoever put my name in the hat to be drawn (or however it's done) fucked up and didn't read the paper where I had written that I was having ankle surgery. Got excused from it then. This time though, yeah. Let's hope they pick other people.

The 90% of the world that doesn't enjoy this privilege would switch places with you in a heartbeat, and instead of cherishing and treasuring this precious gift you treat it as some kind of nuisance that will distract you from your pursuit of shallow materialistic claptrap.
It's no wonder your country is spinning downward ever faster into a dictatorship. The tiniest little inconvenience to preserve one of the great pillars of a free society makes you turn your back on it. Truly disgusting.

With all this shit I have had to and am still dealing with, another thing like this is the last thing I need and want right now. I made a clear list.

He had made and sold meth, stole from my family, bullied me when I was only a little kid, and scared the crap out of my great-great aunts (they never wanted to be alone with him and always wanted another family member or friend around when he stopped by) when they were still alive. Funny thing is, the judge who is presiding over the case I was called in for was the same judge who sat in on my cousin's trial. So he knew who and what I was talking about.
Some drugs, if properly controlled and what not, fine. Drugs like meth? Yeah, I'm pretty biased. I admit that. And I have every reason to be.
