[QUOTE="200Meters, post: 755968, member: 23727"] The phrase "Justice delayed is justice denied" has yet to percolate down to the courts here. I am very fortunate that my work is flexible that way. Youngest phoned last night and blithely asked that we go to a postal bank and deposit NIS 500 ($143.19) into the canteen account of some other prisoner on whose account he (Youngest) has been buying stuff, apparently lots of stuff. We informed him that since money does not, in fact, grow on one of the trees in the yard, we could deposit NIS 500 but that when we visit him on Thursday we would not be able to buy him the customary 2 cartons of cigarettes and phone cards (which actually cost more than NIS 500). We told him it was his choice. He got angry, asked us to please pay the NIS 500 and said that we need not come to visit him, as if the only reason he wanted to see us was to receive cigarettes and phone cards. Brat. I stopped at a post office on my way to work and paid the NIS 500. Then Youngest phoned and said that some of his friends would be calling us and would give us money and could we use it to buy cigarettes and phone cards when wecome to visit him on Thursday morning (assuming the Jerusalem District Court doesn't spring him, which we cannot see happening, on Wednesday). If it is not our money, what do we care? Tomorrow is election day, our 3rd in the past year (don't get me started). It is also a public holiday. We might, after voting, go see if the lupines are in bloom (see my February 20 post) and then go see Oldest and his ladyfriend. The cashier thing at the butcher shop didn't work out. Oldest says that he will be starting at a juice bar tomorrow. Sometimes I wonder how much we can actually believe him about these jobs that he seems unable to hold. It is hard because he lives in another part of the (admittedly small, but still) countty and we cannot check on him. [/QUOTE]
