1.5 estoppels
Category: school
Partnership by estoppel - see corporation by estoppel.
Collateral estoppel. It's so boring i'm not bothering. You can google it.

So folks, I've got seven days left. I'm in a way better position than I was for the NYS bar exam but somehow I'm in a worse mental place, or at least it feels like it at the moment. The scoring is mysterious and the essays have more weight than they did in NYS... stress stress.

I'm asking you all to please write more posts and comments because they help me understand that this exam is not the only thing that exists in the world.

(e:springfaerie), I really hope Rhys is okay.

Tomorrow night, Mardi Gras.

Speaking of lobsters, Jen's girlfriend called her a lobster. Puzzled, I looked it up on urbandictionary. But Jen asked Lynn what she meant. Unlike urbandictionary, Lynn's response was "hard to catch and yummy to eat".

I wanted to call my first band "collateral estoppel" I loved the sound of "collateral estoppel" and it really didn't matter what it meant even though I knew it. But no one else liked it.

So I came up with "Lobsters Gorilla" in which Gorilla is a verb. If memory serves, the name was a play on a lyric from Frank Zappa about Chester's Gorilla.

fyi, even though I love seafood, lobster isn't one of my favies.

How's that for useless information.

Estoppels

Two more estoppels:

Paternity by estoppel Once you say you're the dad of the kid, you can't disclaim the kid even if blood tests say it isn't yours. But if biological dad steps in and says that he'll take responsibility for the kid, you're off the hook.

Corporation by estoppel if you're dealing with an entity that you believe is a corporation (which would have limited liability) and you find out that it was defectively formed or isn't a corporation at all, you can't assert that the owner is then personally liable. This is only true if the owner didn't know that the corporate formation was defective and was in good faith holding it out to be real.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Category: holiday
I'm pretty anti-holiday in general but a certain person in my life loves holidays. These were waiting for me at the office this morning. Purple irises are my favorite flower. :-)

Those do look nice.... My problem with the Holiday isn't the holiday itself ... It is the social Norms that go along with it.... Say I buy someone a nice thing from Reeds or where ever then that comes with certain expectations like great sex... Or at the very a nice gift back.... See it is nice to give gifts just to give them but Valentines day isn't about that... It is about you have to give something and what ever you give and how you do it is = the love....... So because of these social norms if someone one isn't expecting something from gives a gift it would feel awkward..... In other words if someone just gets you a heart felt card the relationship is over......... Now a hand made Card of glitter might be different cause that takes a lot of time and effort but.....

Nice Flowers hope the holiday treats you well...
