He says the extra 5k is to help him get a lawyer.
What's the longest length of time someone can be kept in a jail though? I don't know why but I always think of jails as short term incarceration and prison as long term.I have no idea!
A few people questioned him as to whether it was real and a couple people popped up before being erased that said things like "I hope you rot!" Which kinda lent it credence in my mind...
I know the long timers get Internet access, but no idea about the shorter term lock ups.
theres a city called Hell in michigan, so ive facebooked from Hell before tooI'm pretty sure I've facebooked from hell before, so I'm honestly not surprised that jail is also an option.

I was just referring to the fact that I've definitely posted facebook updates from nowhere Oklahoma, nowhere Missouri, nowhere Texas, and nowhere New Mexico before and I'm pretty sure all of those places qualify at least a little.theres a city called Hell in michigan, so ive facebooked from Hell before too
48h i think before they actually have to charge you or let you go? im a bit rusty from 8th grade when we learned thatWhat's the longest length of time someone can be kept in a jail though? I don't know why but I always think of jails as short term incarceration and prison as long term.

That's referring to once they actually arrest you - and you're right, it's a violation of your rights to be detained for an unreasonable length of time without being formally charged.48h i think before they actually have to charge you or let you go? im a bit rusty from 8th grade when we learned that

Um isn't that part of your rights? You get that for free.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have an extensive history of mental illness in my family as well and it has resulted in more than our fair share of arrests, institutionalizations, and hospital visits. I wish it were easier to convince our loved ones that controlling certain issues without the help of medical professionals is simply beyond our capabilities sometimes.Their family dog also died (all I know is it was put down with a $400 vet bill) 2 days ago. My guess from some of the replies to the girlfriend was hit by car.
My brother has been running a marijuana extract business in CA and just moved east to one of the states that just voted to allow recreational use.
He also has a crazy temper, sometimes violent and we have family history of both diagnosed schizophrenia and undiagnosed (likely manic-depressive bipolar) mental illness. My brother claims some of these traits but says he controls them by adjusting his diet to remove gluten and by smoking pot.
It is trouble just expected to happen.

I was referring to the length of incarceration/sentences, though - I generally thought that jails were for people serving sentences <~1 year and prisons were for sentences longer than that. (I should also mention jails are generally local and prisons tend to be state or federal, so severity/type of crime may move someone from one to another as well I suspect).
My younger sister is the same way, except even though she's dropped out of school, very much nearly failed out of high school, and literally does nothing but sleep and do **** on her computer, she is god's gift and can do no wrong and is never held responsible for a single thing. Like, she isn't even tasked with taking the dog outside for a bathroom break. It's not unexpected to come home to dog accidents when she had been home the whole time. They finally got her into a medical billing program, but she hasn't told anyone if she passed her first semester or not. She's a very high functioning autistic, but unfortunately uses that as a reason to do nothing.
If you want to vent, you know where to find me. Families can suck sometimes.
That's awesome! My sister never got into trouble, she just does absolutely nothing. I can't imagine her having a job in the real world, as she's never had one that wasn't babysitting a cousin (to which we weren't even 100% comfortable with, but the kids were older). My parents already know she will never likely live on her own. Middle child syndrome here, but I'm awestruck at how it's all unfolded. My parents completely enable her. I was made to feel like a failure because I 'only' got a 30 on my ACT in high school, they had to beg her school to not kick her out. Yet, when she wants something, it appears magically. Whatevs, she chose this path. She's starting to complain that she has no friends outside of whatever internet stuff she's doing, so I think she's starting to see the reality of her situation. No one can make friends appear for her.Are you me? That sounds exactly like my little sister used to be. Dropped out of high school after being put in the juvenile detention school, did nothing for years. Something clicked in her twenties and now she's getting her doctorate from Northwestern so things can change unexpectedly. Very proud of her.

Supposed to get like 8" of snow tonight
I will mail you all of mineI want some snerw...
Good luck!!!!Yeah we're are supposed to get snow too...and I have to drive to an interview. Yay.
I'm going to continue to enjoy being able to use my windshield wipers to remove a wee bit of frost/condensation from the window in the morning. So glad I don't have to scrape anything off my car or shovel snow.
I park in a two car garage. I want snerw!
Going through a rough patch at my internship right now. Feeling like a failure.
I feel for you and understand your feelings of disappointment - sorry. Hope you do whatever you need to do to regroup - in mind, body and spirit - and apply the following cycle.SooOOoOOooOoooooo pretty officially NOT going to vet school this fall~~~~now to decide what I'm gonna do after graduation!

Although I do not know what type of "rough patch" you're going through right now, it's safe to say that everyone I know, including myself, encounters rough patches at various times in our careers. As hard as it might be, try to shake off any feelings of self-doubt and focus on what you need to do to persevere and move forward in your internship. A "rough patch" does not equal failure. It's already hard enough to be a veterinary student; you don't need to make it any harder on yourself. To be honest, every practicing physician and veterinarian I know has said the same thing to me ("I had a terrible day today and nothing went well"), but after drinking a steaming mug of hot chocolate, they often feel better. So, I'm prescribing a mug of hot chocolate for you! Hope it helps.Going through a rough patch at my internship right now. Feeling like a failure.
We're rooting for you, too! Hope you get good news.Nooooooooooooo!!!! I was really rooting for you. I might be in that same boat, just waiting to hear back from one.
We got 26" last week! I'd be glad to loan you some.I want some snerw...

Getting the rejection letter from Cornell hurts even though I knew it was a longshot to get in. I'm going to drown my sorrows beer and rogue one.
Seriously doubting myself and wondering if vet school is really what I want... and if it's worth all this debt... thinking about leaving before I'm $100k in the hole and pursuing something else with an actually halfway decent salary.
I just don't even know anymore and I am so frustrated. Ugh.
Thank you. I'm not quite sure yet what I am going to do. The profession I'm looking at currently pays better than vet med (and it possible to break six figures out of school) and typically has less educational debt. If I were to leave after this semester, I'd still be under $90k in debt including both my five years of undergrad and my first year of vet school. I just... I guess I need to explore it and discuss it with others some more.I know a vet who changed careers after practicing for a couple of years. Whatever you decide just be sure it's the right choice for you. You're smart enough and capable enough to graduate vet school if that's what you want, don't let Imposter Syndrome or stress or nutty classmates or whatever bring down you or your dreams
You're not letting anyone down to know that vet school isn't for you.Thank you. I'm not quite sure yet what I am going to do.

I do enjoy vet med, but now that I'm reevaluating whether or not I love it enough to go $200k in debt for it... I'm not so sure if it's the best option for me.
But I would also feel awful and like a failure if i left. So many people were so excited for me and I'd hate to let them down.
