Sometimes I think so, sometimes I'm not sure. I know enough lawyers who could easily retire, and maintain their current lifestyles right through the day they die -- yet they keep on working. I have a few colleagues in this boat, and I've dealt with some other lawyers on cases I've had (espeically plaintiff-side class action guys who hit it big, repeatedly), and they keep on working and very happy about it.
Maybe they're senior enough to make everyone else deal with the bullshit, maybe they just like the sense of what they've accomplished and built and want to further that.
I hope that when I'm their age, I have that same sense (and the accomplishments to back it up). Or, I have enough cash to make the choice that they are not making. Either/or, I'm flexible.

A member of my extended family has Parkinson's and is in a nursing home. He "practiced" the way semi-retired lawyers do until he entered the nursing home. I hadn't seen him in a while and saw him last weekend. When he had the chance, his eyes lit up and he asked me how my practice is going. It was clear he would be back in his office in a minute if he could.

I think what dtb is talking about when she talks about my "lifestyle" is not so much the whole stay-at-home-mom thing as the fact that I get to do exactly, precisely what I want to.

I thought I was your friend on this board. Damn.

Compared to having to euthanize a pet, I'd say you really ruined her day.

You are even more stupid and clueless than I previously thought if you think that I would consider this a betrayal, or be surprised by it if I did. |

Given the choice of nursing home or law firm I would choose law firm too.

Kind of like the gay "lifestyle," come to think of it. Huh.

Since the brazenette presumably gets to do exactly, precisely what she wants to, how do you work things out when those differ?

Wait. I need to think about this for a minute.
TM never said RP was not pretty.
Some third party did. And the third party got the information from someone else.
Plus, TM lied about himself being attractive?
Is that what you are saying?

Or the best of all combinations, I have a friend who is a nursing home lawyer. He is most proud that he never set foot in one of his clients' facilities ever. |

Jinx (assuming the "e" was intentional).

You can put on the brave face all you want bn'b., but WE all know that you sit at home, weeping softly to yourself. Alone in that huge fucking mansion. Probably swimming around in the money pool.

Someone wanted something funny. How about Gnarls Barkley as Wayne and Garth??

This post isn't into the whole brevity thing...
