I was picked one other time but I was going through a miscarriage so they took my name off of the list.

I'm glad that you didn't lose the money on your trip and were able to go. They say that most trials are settled out of court and that you're to check in the evening before to make sure that you even need to go.

NYC is so different! I once ignored a jury duty notice, and nothing happened! Even I was surprised! Now, they fine you a couple of hundred dollars, I think. You can't get off though once you go down to the court. I used to be able to get off when Jessie was young, but those excuses aren't accepted anymore.

Postponements are fine in NYC. I wonder what happens up here. I would hate to be on a jury in this small town! I would probably live down the road from the criminal!

I really hope you get off of this Gayle! I'll be sending "get Gayle off of jury duty" energy.
