tl;dr. The DA of an unnamed county in North Texas is a dick.

I filed a Petition for Order of Nondisclosure (basically an Expunction of a criminal record) for a client of mine. The guy got busted in 1993 (when he was 17) breaking into a car with some of his friends, stealing cds and crap like that. He took deferred ajudication and finished his probation in 1995. Since then he's been a model citizen,; family, degree, grown-up job, hasn't even had a late fee on a traffic ticket. The law says that the Order of Nondisclosure can be filed 5 years after the dismissal of the case and discharge. The order didn't come down until 2009, probably due to mistake or laziness of the court's clerks, but was made retroactive to 1995. I filed the thing three weeks ago and got ready to drive 2 hours to some little bumfuck county seat to have the mandatory hearing. The ******* DA called me this afternoon at 4 to tell me they were objecting, because the order wasn't filed until 2009.
All the legalities aside, what kind of asshole thinks that the guy should continue to suffer for some teenage mischief from 19 years ago?

Update. Nailed this. :slayer:

The ass. DA even apologized to me afterwards for wasting my time.

Okay, but just promise me you'll be careful. And remember, some foods that you didn't mention, such as blueberry pie and chocolate pudding, also have quite a lot of sugar. It's not just cake and candy and regular soda that you have to watch out for.

Not sure if serios....

It's funny though, I know more about food than literally every person that has ever challenged me about it. I know how much carb damn near anything has, to a reasonable approximation. I've been doing this for 20+ years, you get fairly good at it. A bunch of my students thought it was interesting and started quizzing me about it, I knew pretty much everything they threw at me.

Physiotherapy. Been trying to get movement back into my broken shoulder for 3 months now, with not a lot to show for it. Every degree of extra flex in the stretching sessions comes at the cost of teeth-grinding pain. Plus I can kiss goodbye to riding my bike for the rest of the year, something I'm really starting to miss.

I'm diabetic and people have been doing that to me forever with sugar. "Are you sure you can have that cake? Are you allowed to eat candy? Is that diet soda?"

Whitney, is that you?

I always tell my students that my cat says "irregardless." But she is a cat, and a university student's English really ought to be better than my cat's.

there's even a warning in my dictionary for the use of this word.

Also you realize any pizza company will gladly accomodate a "No cheese" request, right? If you play your cards right, some of them may even knock down the price!

cheese is the most expensive part.. the dough and sauce only cost about 25 cents!

That's funny! A lot of native English speakers use this word. You even see well educated people using it from time to time. My guess is that it sounds right to people because it's similar to "irrespective." I like to say "irregardless" just because I think it's funny.

I think we're all in agreeance that businessy types have been able to leverage this term synergistically, utilizing its full potential to gain traction at various price points. This term has been a real game changer. Correct use of the term should be part of everyone's skillset. I think your post will be very impactful, and I will shoot you an e-mail to follow up.

On the artificial wife-crisis front:
We had some nice coupons for some stuff we wanted, which expired today. I told my wife last weekend that I could go pick up the stuff, but I needed the coupons. She was "too busy" to look for them all week and I had absolutely no clue where she had put them. Come this morning, she more or less literally tears the house apart looking for them. Now we're going out of town for the weekend and it looks like vandals hit up the place. Taking five minutes any other day of the week would have avoided this whole thing, but hey, nothing gets done until it's a crisis!

I don't dispute this. All I'm saying is some companies might go "well you don't want cheese, but we don't discount for having less than a 'standard' pizza".
