Gosh, texasgeek,

I must say I was exceedingly eager to read what you had to say, based on your screen name alone.

And I wasn't disappointed, though the brief things about your husband brought tears to my eyes. I think it's because I am having such a hard time with my appeal. It's so hard to do when my feeling is that the deck is already stacked against me.

It also made me sad that bad lawyers take so much of people's money and then there's not enough left to pay a good lawyer.

I sure hope I'm able to concentrate one day soon... but I couldn't today.

Here in New Mexico there are local rules for each district... and I do have those to read.

The Appeals Court has been good about putting the guiding case law into the notices... so that way I know what I'm supposed to be talking about.

But the bad lawyer has my papers, which I originally went to the court house and got... and I've been sick again from worry about this and I don't have as much money left, so paying someone $60 to take me to the courthouse (3 hour minimum) and then paying for the copies all over again... I can't do it.

Sorry... devolving here.

I'm glad you find my site useful.

(it was sweet of you to read some of the pro se stuff, I know it's major boring.)

Thank you SO much!!!!!!!!!

(I'm feeling uplifted.)
