That would depend on whether it's a no-win-no-pay fee.
I wonder if I got away with that as being non-political?

Ooo! Hadn't thought of that. Like ... private conversations and so on?
Ouch. Don't think Trump thought this through too well in advance ...

I fear that the secrecy between lawyer and "defendee" is still active even in such a case, but one thing is that he can't say anthing and another thing is that he can't use what he knows against him in other ways.

a) being sued by a 'lawyer' that incompetent, probably isn't going to worry Trump!
b) can a lawyer who's been disbarred and banged up, sue an ex-client?
c) ... when the client is also banged up?

I'm always amazed at how much these guys are asking and getting.
No way in hell anyone is worth $20,000 a day.
Not politicians, not bank or health CEO's, not doctors and not lawyers.
It's often not even linked to performance.
Get a couple millions, mess up, get a golden handshake to off and get the next position for millions...
That's one thing that's wrong with this world.
That said, I one day hope to be on the receiving end of that $20,000 a day.

Also, having events at your own resorts so you can profit from them, charge the secret service for their rooms, &etc.
It's a bunch of scamming that, really, shouldn't have surprised you in the least. After all, look into how the funds in the Trump Foundation were used . . .

I was hesitant to post this - but it somehow brought to mind two toilets overflowing into one another. Why that image? Who can say? (something Escher didn't draw)

$20K a day * 365 days a year = $7.3M.
I suspect he's got some items he spends more than $7.3M a year on.

I wouldn't pay a loser either! The guy had a job to do and he failed miserably. Worst coup ever!

We have been feeding our home-cat a particular variety of cat-food (Type A) since its kitten-hood. But, now, I am beginning to feel that the cat is getting bored with that same food, and is seeking variety. Now, there is one more neighbourhood cat, which we feed with a different variety of cat-food (Type B). Our home-cat does not like Type B, and prefers only Type A.
Now, I would like to have one more alternative food for our home-cat, in addition to Type A (since I am sensing the cat's boredom for this Type A food).
1. How to determine which cat food to try for our home-cat, which he will like? and
2. How to go about introducing this new food type to our home-cat?
Note: In our house, we are vegetarians, and the only meaty stuff in our house is cat-food.

The fact that you're vegetarian ruined my would-be catty answer.
Only now do I realize what I've just done. As if the site doesn't have enough of it already!

Never easy.
There are two problems:
1) You feed him Brand C. He eats it while purring, scarfing it down like a cat possessed. Yay! You buy loads of the foul smelling stuff. He refuses to ever touch it again. Little git. I have boxes of Harringtons, after trying a couple of trial packs which fur-face couldn't get enough of. He'd rather starve for three or more days than eat it...
2) Their little digestive systems don't like change. If you switch too quickly, they can get diarrhea and / or vomiting which is both messy and unpleasant for everyone involved.
Do it slowly: ensure the new food is at room temperature to start with - cold food isn't as appealing to them, and hand feed them a little as a treat. Then start introducing the new food along with the old a little at a time, gradually increasing the ratio until the old food is pretty much homeopathic.
Currently Dij is on three foods: Adsa Tiger, Felix meaty, and Sheba Poultry, with the flavour and cycled so he gets a different flavour and brand each meal and he's been eating that (with the occasional Harringtons thrown in) for months now.
Another difference I did make back in July was to change his bowl for really shallow ones - about 2cm high rim - and make him a stand to hold them about 16cm off the floor so he can stand or sit to eat; he doesn't need to "lie down" or crouch.
After these changes he is now food obsessed: instead of wandering in for his lunch around 2 or 3 and leaving half of it he's yowling for food from around 10:30 and scarfing the lot down. He's also growing muscle mass and putting on a little weight (possibly length as well, though he's 10 this year so he shouldn't really be growing) and seems to be having a lot less problems keeping food down. Which is a relief!

Thanks OG, for your valuable suggestions.
I have tried mixing Type A with new Type C, and giving, with small proportion of Type C mixed with large proportion of Type A (which he likes). However, even a trace of the smell of Type C seems to put him off, so he starves rather than eat the mixture.
Cats are indeed fussy about food.
Our earlier cat used to catch the nearby rats and squirrels, but this one does not know how to hunt.

I've always wondered why there was no mouse-flavored cat food.
Anyway, have you looked at "hunting cat feeders"? "Wet" food isn't all that good for them, in the long run.

How do you know? You've compared them personally?

It seems the first mistake you guys, (cat owners), are making, is feeding them! Where's their incentive to go out and catch stuff, if you keep giving it to them on a plate?

A cat will learn to hunt food if its mother has taught it, during its kitten-hood. Looks like our cat got separated from its mother before this training happened, so it does not hunt its own food.

I grew up with a farm next door. Around here, most farms have an abundant cat population.
They all quickly learn that they're either gonna eat what they're given (if they're that spoiled), or they're gonna have to hunt for their own food.
Cats have no business being fussy.

Make the switch and stick to it. He will eventually start eating - no animal let themselves starve in presence of food.
|

It really feels bad when the cat turns it face and goes away, as though saying "I DON'T WANT THIS".
