Mens divorce lawyers

I never knew there were divorce and custody lawyers that specialized in legal help for men, but then I heard about Cordell & Cordell Reviews from a guy friend of mine who was looking online for divorce lawyers. Like I said, I personally had never heard of such a service, so indeed I did browse through the site. Sure enough the service is there,  and they do everything from divorce and child custody, to spousal support and property division for men.

While looking through the site, I read the Cordell & Cordell reviews that clients had written and I was surprised the these are not just men who work on the men in need of a lawyer cases. There are women lawyers also who have represented the men. The reviews were quite remarkable, actually.

I do however personally have mixed feelings about divorce and feel that some men, and this is just from personal experience with some of my women friends, will go to great lengths to put the screws so to speak to their soon to be ex wives. However, isn’t that sometimes also true with what some women do to men during a divorce or custody and support battle? So at least in my friends case, since I know the whole situation and how his wife is, I think that a firm like Cordell & Cordell would be perfect for him.

Finally the phone stopped ringing

Of course it is nearly about 12:45 in the morning, and the phone isn’t ringing, but hopefully I just didn’t jinx myself by writing this. All night the phone rang non stop. From wedding plans to sadly (or maybe not sadly, in my opinion) divorce woes, or friends needing advice. Maybe I should be a wedding planner or a shrink when I grow up. Okay, just trying to lighten it up a bit. It’s one of those nights that I can’t sleep and I’m glad I don’t have to get super early in the morning.

Copy machine toner

I have a copy machine in my office that in all honesty, I have no clue how to use it. It is an older Dell, and when I was told I needed more Dell 3115 cn toner, the look on my face must have shown that I didn’t know what the person who looked at my copier and told me what the problem was, meant by this. I had no idea what toner was, and now feel rather silly because of it, but much more informed, so this is a plus.

I was told that most people buy cheap machines because the toner is basically very expensive. Then when it runs out of toner, that they just replace the machine. But in doing that, they don’t know that the toner cartridge only is 1/3 full when the machine is bought. I did some research to find out exactly what toner was, and also didn’t know it was a powder. It’s pretty interesting, actually. But what I had been told about people just buying new cheap machines is also true in a majority of cases. To order the Dell 3115 cn toner, is a bit less expensive than most of the others though.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet. The copy machines are expensive, but so is the toner. On the other hand, buying another machine, means that I won’t get the amount of toner that would be in a full cartridge. I’m thinking just keep my Dell, buy the Dell 3115 cn toner, and perhaps save some money in the process.

Tired but not sleepy

I’m tired, but not sleepy and that bugs me. When I’m tired I want to go to sleep right then, but can’t. It’s better to stay up for awhile then toss and turn though, I suppose. Writing makes me sleepy, so guess  ya’ll are stuck with me. LOL!

I’ve never seem them so happy in all the years I’ve known them. Now Barb and I will be making wedding plans. I’m thrilled for them!

Engagement plans

My good friend’s boyfriend Tim, surprised me this afternoon by showing me the vintage engagement rings he had gotten for my friend Barb. They were on loan to show me, until he got my opinion and I have to say, the first one he showed me was the total pick!  It is simply beautiful. When I say the word “simply” it is meant in just that sense and meaning. Barb isn’t one of those women who like big, gaudy jewelry. She a sort of old fashion and elegant women, who prefers beautiful, but not flashy things.

This ring is perfect for her, and it shows that Tim knows her very well. By no means is it plain. The only word to describe it, is it has the look of true vintage engagement rings in a timeless era, if that makes sense. It is a three sided classic design, in platinum. There is the center diamond, and diamonds on the band on three sides. The center diamond is a princess cut and it looks like it is being held up with a round diamond in a square under the center stone. It’s totally Barb in the style also.

The fun part is, my dear friend doesn’t have a clue Tim got it. I’m sure they will get married, but Tim wanted this to be a total surprise and I also know that she will be so happy. Now it makes me want to look at vintage engagement rings, and just wear it on my right hand. I’ve thought about it in the past, and even Barb told me I should do this, since I have no plans or desire yet to get married but love the look of some of them.  I don’t see a reason why after my friends get married, I shouldn’t have one just because I’m not engaged.

Darn change of weather

Wouldn’t you know, the weather changes and I get another cold. My doctor advised against me getting a flu shot this  year, because it didn’t work well for me last year. I’m going to make some chicken soup then curl up in cozy jammies after I Vick’s down, and watch a movie. So much for a hot date on a Friday night…LOL!

A gift for my very large man friend

My friend Steven will turn fifty soon and I wanted to get him a gift that I know he will be pleased with. The problem is, that I was having a problem finding a store that sells big and tall mens clothing. There is a shopping mall in a large town close to me, and one would think out of all the higher priced clothing stores, or the more pricey department stores there, I could find a shirt or pair of pants that would look great on Steven and would actually fit him. I couldn’t find anything near his size.

My dear friend used to be a wrestler in what was called the WWF (World Wrestling Federation) back years ago when I first met him. He is retired now, and still by no means is he overweight in anyway, as he works out every day and is very health conscious. He is just very tall and very big. But he also has problems finding big and tall mens clothing for himself. He is a great looking guy who deserves nice looking clothes that actually fit him.

Another friend of mine knew of my problem and told me to get online to find what I was looking for. To be honest I never even thought of it, since most clothing stores always carried what I was looking for.  So I went to my computer for my mission to find big and tall mens clothing. I found some awesome clothes! I like them so much I got into my extra gift money and bought him a polo shirt, two flannel shirts I know he’ll love, and a pair of great looking cargo pants that he favors.  I can’t wait until his birthday to give them to him. I know now he indeed will be pleased!!

I don’t do Mondays

I really don’t like Mondays lately. Mondays never used to bother me until about a year ago. Maybe it’s because of getting older or something. I feel pretty blah this morning and it seems like my body does not want to get up so early to start doing the things I have to do today. I feel like just getting back into bed and going back to sleep, but then I no doubt wouldn’t because the lazy guilt’s would kick in, and I’d not be able to sleep anyway. Time to start the week.

A new camera

My favorite camera, an older Pentax, stopped working and I’m really bummed out about it. It looks like I’m going to have to break down and buy another camera this week. I carried the Pentax around with me where ever I went so I wouldn’t miss a cool or beautiful shot for a picture. I can honestly say, I don’t like digital cameras because of the hesitation right before clicking a photo. I’ve missed so many really good moments.
