HEADLINES

This took place in Charlotte North Carolina.
A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against, among other things, fire. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost in a "series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued and WON!
Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company, in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable 'fire' and was obligated to pay the claim.
Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the cigars that perished in the 'fires'.
Now for the best part...
After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.
This story won First Place in last year's Criminal Lawyers Award contest.

This was awesome. Thanks Camille!

A Change in Profession

My brother, Dane, decided to turn away from his career of business.

What is he doing now you ask? Well take a look....

Hittin' the front pages of Franklin Covey Magazine! Going GQ on us, he is! :D

Artsy Fartsy

I got this card stock label off of a paper cutter I just bought and it made me laugh.

I love scropbooking with vellum. :D

Cha-Cha-Cha-Chia...Lawn

We are trying some new seed/mulch stuff we found at a garden store to see if it will help the lawn grow back super quick. We are also trying a different fertilizer used often for dog spots. I'll let you know if it works!

And then.

Sorry I've been slacking lately on the posting.
Good times...
If it makes you feel any better....I spilled pink lemonade all over my license application.
...and turned it in like that. :D

Anyway....in case you didn't know or I haven't mentioned it a billion times....I'm Gradeating. In 2 days. The pharmacy color for the tassel and hood and stuff is puke green. Pretty cool. I guess they call it sage....looks like puke to me. I'll show you when I get some pictures on Friday.

Oh...and we found a good home for Charlie. We just didn't have the time that he needed or a fenced yard he could run in. It is sad to see him go because he was a part of the family. :( Even though it is hard, it is better for everyone.

What else....
Hhmmm.....
I moved to Bountiful....did I tell you that already? Probably.

..tap..tap...tap...
Is this thing on?....
