    It's kind of amazing how the TV just naturally gravitates toward Law and Order.

    I had a former coworker who had been raised in a very sheltered environment growing up. Very religious, not much exposure to pop culture. And on a work trip she found herself in a hotel room and as happens in hotel rooms the TV started playing Law and Order. She found it incredibly traumatic. I tried to be supportive, trying to figure out if it was a trigger for something but it seemed like just the whole idea from someone dying to the police investigation to the trail distressed her. I found that to be a staggering level of sheltered upbringing.

    I sometimes wonder if all those police procedural shows have had a cultural impact re: how cops get venerated, stranger danger, etc etc

    Quite likely. Although stranger danger had a lot of momentum on it's own from parent groups.

    The main consideration was my brother in law being a dependent and if who ever took him had their own home.

    Of the 4 sisters two already own homes and are unable to take care of him, and the 3rd well yeah no (this is the one we are dealing with now) and then the wife.



    See this was being all fixed in a new will but it wasnt all signed and shit before mom fell ill and was unable to complete this.

    A buddy of my "dated" a girl while he was in college. Really they just talked on the phone a lot and saw each other once a week at his job. This girl was just about to go to public college after graduating home school. Her parents pretty much kept her locked in the house other than she got to go to the store (with her parents) to rent games / shows.

    She ended up going to UGA a couple of years into my tenure. She showed up at the anime club and she had gone wild. Like straight up Girls Gone Wild style. They didn't really date much after she went to college cause he couldn't keep up.

    Apparently it was a real issue with juries in the early/mid 00s. People were expecting there to be one smoking gun piece of evidence that would totally turn the case rather than it being a case of the prosecution making an argument beyond a reasonable doubt

    Apparently now it’s the polar opposite, where people ignore one big piece of evidence in favor of the argument

    If I hated my family, that is exactly the sort of will I would make.

    Alternatively, allow anybody to get whatever they want, but make it like a contest where they have to run through the property calling it when they reach what they want and have to haul it off in a certain amount of time or someone else can get it.

However, if Susan objects to the house transfer, it will instead be transferred to William. If William objects to the transfer of the funding account it will instead be transferred to Dave."
