Bored? Naw, not yet! But if you are, click here.

The material on this web site does not constitute legal advice (jailhouse or otherwise) or establish an attorney client relationship, especially since KF isn't a law firm.

Our information is offered in order, and oft-times with jest,  to provide you with a starting point for your further investigation, Shamus, and you must not rely upon any of it as legal advice. As those pesky barristers say, 'Each particular situation will be factually unique.' 'Your mileage may vary.' 'Void where prohibited.' 'May be cancelled or changed without notice.' You should consult a real live attorney if you wish to determine your rights, wrongs and obligations under applicable and (even under inapplicable) law. Don't know a good attorney? We know a few...just ask.

Reach out...the sanity you save may be your own. Don't drink and drive on the Internet. Remember, only you can prevent info-fires and officious National Directors and former Directors. Use common sense...especially on the net...If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is too good to be true!

You have been warned: Now, go ahead and "take on the web." 'nuff said.

Our Privacy Policy

This is the Kramer.Firm, Inc. Privacy Notice. What makes you think there is any privacy on the Internet? Anyway, on to the show…

By using this site, you agree to this Privacy Policy of Kramer.Firm, Inc. In fact, you not only bind yourself (and you may really enjoy doing that), but also your entire family, your employer, your gas station attendant (remember when they really existed?!), and your livestock to this policy.  Now and forever.

Kramer.Firm, which operates this site, recognizes the earth-shattering importance of protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information collected about visitors to our site. We're not sophisticated enough to automatically collect your personally identifiable information, such as your name, address or email address, hopes, wishes, disappointments, etc. Personally identifiable information about visitors, spies, snoops, etc. to our site is collected only when you knowingly and voluntarily submit it, or forget to block it (such as your static or dynamic I.P. address). Remember, only you can hit the ENTER key!

We may, and sometime do, collect certain non-personal information to "clog the log" (ours; not yours). That non-personal data may include the identity of your Internet browser (huh? You didn't know your browser had an identity?), the type of operating system you use (we won't tell Bill G. if it's "something else"), and the domain name or I.P. address of your Internet service provider or your DSL or your T1 or your tin-cans-and-string connection. We may use such non-personal information for internal purposes, including but not limited to impressing the wife, kids, dog, etc. about how many visitors come to our site...Interestingly, exactly the same number of visitors who come to this site end up leaving this site. Go figure!  

"We'd Like To Know A Little Bit About You For Our Files …"

In those instances when we do collect personally identifiable information, the following policies apply:

We'll tell you when we are collecting personally identifiable information about you by asking for it. If we ask for your name, address, phone number, email address, shoe size, etc, you can be sure that that's within the category of "personally identifiable information." For example, we may ask to collect your personal information to snoop on you, how you use this site, whether you're a member of any organization we support, etc.

Personally identifiable information that you voluntarily give us or that we trick out of you can (and may) be used for other purposes. Such other uses and purposes may include, but may not be limited to, telling your parents that you were visiting our site after your bedtime. KF isn't responsible for the privacy policies or practices (or lack thereof) of linked entities, opposing organizations, space aliens, etc.

KF maintains virtually no more than the most basic safeguards--i.e., password protected databases and the like--to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personally identifiable information submitted to our site. We periodically wonder if there is any real security measures that can occur in light of (or in spite of) current and new technologies. If you're unconfortable with our honesty here, we strongly encourage you to use false data when responding to our requests for your personal information. That way, if that personal information is ever disclosed, you'll rest soundly knowing that nothing of real value has been lost. Your thoughts on these matters will be appreciated.

Cookies

Cookies are very tasty! We're very fond of warm, gooey white chocolate chip cookies. You?

If you don't want information about you collected using cookies (hey, why do they call 'um cookies?), there is an obscure and difficult-to-follow procedure in most web browsers to permit you to deny the cookie feature. We dare you to find it. But, why would anyone say, "No!" to a nice warm cookie? KF may or may not use cookies at this site, and we assure that that if we are, you can bet that they'd be warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies, or small snippets of data. In the alternative, we like licking cake batter out of the bowl, even knowing how quickly that spreads germs and promotes food poisoning.  Okay, in reality, we use cookies to track your activities on this site.  You leave the cookie trail...we'll follow it (and you) around our site. We don't use cookies to track your activities off of this site. We simply don't know how to do that. By the way, have you erased your browser cookies recently? Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to you based on your visit to your sites and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy. In fact, if you're concerned about cookiesI think you should opt out often, and regularly clear your private data and cookies in your browser..

Links to Third Party Sites

KF has established links from our site directly to sites operated by third parties. Why they party for the third time and we don't is one of the great unanswered questions of our time.  Visit them at your own pace (and risk). We're not responsible for the content or practices of those linked web sites operated by others that have put up links to KF.  Frankly, we're barely responsible for this site. If you decide to visit another site via a KF link, you should read their privacy policy and see if it's any more truthful or expansive than our policy.  You have been warned!

If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please go away…quickly…before anymore of your privacy evaporates before your eyes. KF reviews this Privacy Policy on a regular basis, not exceeding 1.52 years between reviews, and reserves the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice to you, your offspring, your dog, Mr. KABC, or anyone else, to add, modify, remove or color in any portions of this Policy at any time.

You should stop back to this page really often to see if we've sneaked anything new in, or chopped anything vital out. If you want to write us about this Policy, please send snail mail to:

Starting to get bored? Yeah, we are too.

Regarding advertisments on this site...

Yes, we have ads on the site. Why? Well, first to make some money (that's not un-American!). Over the years we've found that some of the visitors to the site are surfers, and they'll type in 'CableTV.com' just to see where it takes them. From some of the emails we've received, it clear that some people come here expecting that just because they have cable television service at home, the domain 'cabletv.com' must take them directly to their own cable television provider. Yeah, right! (Well, actually, 'wrong'.) Yet other visitors are looking to subscribe to cable TV or satellite service, high speed internet, or cell phone service. By having ads on this site, those surfers are not (totally) left in the cold, and we make a few pennies each time they click on the ad links.

We don't select the ads--Google does. We don't endorse any of them. We don't even stand behind, in front, or on the side of any of the ads, either. You're on your own, so let the clicker beware! Go back up and re-read the DART stuff about how Google serves ads on this site.

Snooze time? If so, then Return to home page

Our Official Disclaimer for Attorneys and the Like

This is the Kramer.Firm, Inc. disclaimer notice to attorneys and the like...

Okay, here's the deal. There's a lot of really good information on this site, and quite a bit that's utterly useless. 

Most of the good stuff is fairly straight forward and clear.  Some of it is intended to be tongue-in-cheek.  Our tongue, our cheek. Some of it is intended to be read as inside jokes. Some of it's rarely read at all.  Sorry, but you're not privy to the inside jokes unless you're one of the insiders, or smart enough to know that you're a targets. It's important to know the difference, but after 3 or more years in law school you're smart enough to make an educated guess.  Just to liven up the site, there are pages here with ... gasp! ... really good information *and* inside jokes.  In fact, I'd say that typically greater than 23.34% of the pages here fall into that category. The question for you is whether the page you'd like to use falls into one category or the other.  Of course the simple answer is that any page you view at this site falls  into one category or the other. (See, isn't this good, clean fun?)

So what's all this mean? Just about everything you need for your depo background prep is already here on the site. Go search...it's there, and you'll get paid by the hour to find it!  It's my little gift to you and your partners.

Finally, when you were admitted the bar, you didn't give up your sense of humor did you? <Huh? You did? Oops..sorry!> Anyway, laugh a bit. Your beloved (and/or cat and/or dog) will welcome it, and it'll scare the hell out of the partners! Isn't that a good enough reason to smile? I hope so!  

You've got to be bored by now! Please, return to KF's home page quickly!

Page Revised June 7, 2009. See if you spot the revision(s). We don't track them for you. Tough!
