I can't believe I'm so bored that I'm watching People's Court (when did Judge Wopner stop doing the show?). |

What I have learned is to get everything in writing. Sadly handshakes and verbal agreements don't cut it anymore. Business's have to be even more careful, with hold harmless agreements and being asked to be named additional insured inserted in the contracts in many cases. It is a litigious society we now live in and you have to protect your own interests. |
