So... Whats for lunch?

[purelife]

Uh, interracial couples are very common here??!  huh?  Anyways...

  Does anyone know if there is such a thing as free lawyers in Vancouver?  If nobody knows, I'll just research on the net, but thought I'd ask here first.

[Sportsdude]

i don't think there's anything called a free lawyer. pl.  

[Michel]

Poor people have access to free lawyers in Québec SD.

  I don't know for BC, sorry PL.

[purelife]

I know that there are lawyers who work pro bono, but I don't know if they are available in Vancouver.  I'll try the UBC Law Line to see if there are any. Thanks anyways but I'm looking for someone who knows for certain.

    That was in response to SD.

[Sportsdude]

free lawyers for poor people? no way. Only time you can use a free lawyer here is if you're going to court and the court then appoints a lawyer to you.  

[Michel]

Other country, other way of doing things, even from one province to another... If your revenue is equal or less than that, you're allowed to have the service of a lawyer for free.

Anybody have their chlosteral checked recently? I get mine checked tomorrow. lol its probably a super high number.  

[purelife]

Thanks Lil Me.  I like that Family Law site. )

  Nope, I don't check for cholesteral.

[Sportsdude]

they say you're suppose to so you don't get heart disease.  

[P.C.]

I've never had mine done.  So if I get my cholesterol checked, and they tell me it's not good....then I will get stressed about it.  Stress isn't good.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]

[purelife]

I think that it was fine.  My doc checked for everything a couple of months ago.Why would yours be so high?  Do you eat a lot of fatty foods?  

[P.C.]

Oh MY.....999........I'm not normally a beggar.....but SOMEBODY BLESS ME !!!!  

[Sportsdude]

 eh, just by looking at my weight gain and my family history and what I eat. I'm guessing its super duper high.
Oh well its not like I can avoid the inevitable when it comes to family history.    

[purelife]

There ya go, PC.  ))   That was for you not checking your cholesteral, not for your begging.
