I feel like the Lifetime Network got involved in that study somehow. The follow up article will say that men that are over 2 feet tall are 99% more likely to cheat and engage in spousal abuse.

I had some sort of flu a few weeks ago.....fever, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness. Didn't even want to be upright. Cost me 3 days of PTO (dammit!) and almost 20 pounds. That was as sick as I have been in a long, long time. I feel your pain, Chaser.
I watched it once. Not sure I could sit through it again.
I was thinking about something like that as well. Maybe there's other movie videos where Caviezel is getting beat up.
EDIT: AHA! Hang in there Chief! (Frequency is possibly my favorite Caviezel film)
Hubby was watching it (at work downstairs) and said it was easy, it they couldn't get the sports questions.
Respiratory influenza went through our house about a week and a half ago. Through some small miracle I escaped it all. Hubby and our oldest got hit the hardest. I kept hoping hubby would take a sick day and just rest, but instead he just went to work in his pajamas.
My favorite Caviezel is The Count of Monte Cristo....that is where Mel Gibson actually saw him and decided to cast him in Passion. In a rarity too....that movie is better than the book in my 21st century gringo perspective. The happier ending was easier on my sensibilities. Dumas book is powerful, tear-creating at times...but not a feel-good book....definitely makes you consider the harshness of life and realities of 19th century.
I'm laid-up sick too like many of you....just watched "Tombstone"...I know that is a favorite on here.
Time to watch another movie....I can't sleep and I'm coughing a lung up like Val Kilmer/Doc Holiday.....
Fort Dodge has changed a great deal in the 40+ years I have lived here. In the 70s, it was firmly blue collar, what with 4 gypsum mills plus IBP and Hormel and Gus Glaser all going strong. But the workforce has gravitated toward more agricultural themed businesses, and the town is slowly renovating and changing its image.
The only downside to this is that the growth of residential housing has not been a boon for local businesses like ours - much of the development, including labor and materials, has come from out-of-town sources. (Dennis Albaugh has invested in a great deal of it.)
But on the whole, residents here are excited about our future. Perhaps we may even have expansion of the wildly successful Taco Tico franchise.

The Koch brothers have major investments down there also.
I see the company that makes spandex is owned by the Koch brothers. I guess I'll change my wardrobe to better support my hometown.
MrsWx got sick so I took LittleWx to the Circus. He only made it a little over an hour before losing interest so we came home.
Caught a glimpse of GMA this morning while getting ready. The story was on a motorcyclist in Florida that was run off the road by someone with road rage. Of course someone behind him started filming it. He alleges they threw something at him (begs the first question what did he do to get something thrown at him). Now the video starts and you see him riding next to the car on the line if not partially in the cars lane banging on the window. The driver clearly does have road rage and rams into the motorcyclist forcing him off the road.
Don't get me wrong I am not excusing the driver of the car but are you ******* kidding me? The story concluded with a picture of him and his young son and how he was just happy he survived and can go home to hug his son. This is far from the first time I have seen something like this but listen dumb ass you escalated the situation too! I also go back to my original question. What did you do in the first place. Most people don't just start throwing **** at other people because they feel like it and it is usually in response to something.

Working in a courthouse, (and maybe @CloneLawman will agree) you learn that a lot of public defenders end up quitting to do something else. They get tired of talking to their client while thinking to themselves, "You may be 'not guilty' but you're not innocent."
If they are being honest (which in some spectacular cases can be a big "if") , over 85% of the time they aren't even telling themselves "you may be not guilty".
But then again, there's the old prosecutor in me coming to the fore. Public defenders play an important role in our system, but I don't want to do it!
The only criminal cases I take now are for long-established clients of other sorts who need some help (and there aren't too many of those).
