“Dear PoPville,
Last night I was enjoying date night at Doi Moi when someone opened my purse hanging off my chair and stole my wallet. I’m devastated and feeling like my faith in humanity is broken since this is the second time in 1 year I’ve been robbed. I didn’t see who did it and didn’t notice it was gone until I got a fraud alert from my bank. I send this in to warn people to not let your guard down like I did.

“Dear PoPville,
Any recent experiences being summoned to federal grand jury? Received my summons this week for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Not talking about petit jury service (one trial) or grand jury service at the DC courts (27 days of service). This is a 6-12 month commitment of 1-2 days a week, with a potential extension of up to 6 months. (more…)
