I haven't really had many people just casually say, "I'm going to call..."
I had one person that I felt was in my face about it and I told them to
call
if that's what would make them happy and get them off my case and out of
my
face! I have nothing to hide or reason to be scared!

Here, I know, anything re****ted must be followed up. If they get a call,
they have to go and check it out, and it does seem like a lot of the times
it's just a bogus call from someone with a beef with someone else or
similar. When checked out, they do walk away and leave it at that.

LOL No cousin, but my best childhood friend (and DS's godmother) is
currently in law school. I have emailed her up once or maybe twice to ask
a
"wwyd?" question, and I have another friend that is just fini****ng law
school ;) But yea, when it comes down to it, it seems a lot of people
have
a best friend, close relative or something that is everything and anything
that might come in handy!
