Best of Jim Flynn's Money & the Law

Best of Jim Flynn's Money & the Law

Jim Flynn

Jim Flynn's first column about the law and the legal profession was published in the Gazette Telegraph (now The Gazette) in November of 1992. Since then, more than 1,200 columns have appeared in the paper, initially under the name "Legal Ease" and then "Money & the Law." This book contains 165 of the columns, with the selection criteria being: entertainment value, an interesting topic, and/or useful (occasionally) information. Here are a few of Jim's favorite lines from these columns: -Kimberly Haman sued her bank and Equifax under the Fair Credit Reporting Act after she was unable to have information removed from her credit file indicating she was dead. In her lawsuit, Ms. Haman claims being reported as dead has had an adverse effect on her applications for credit. -Your spouse cannot both murder you and order that your body be fed to bears. -Thirty years is a long time to go between visits to an estate planning attorney. I hope you do better with your dentist. -Explanatory statement in will: "I have left all my wealth to the Colorado Rockies because they need a pitcher more than my children need anything." -Money was a great improvement over a payments system that required you to drag around, say, beaver pelts if you wanted to buy beer. -Although my old debit card was working just fine, last week my bank sent me a new one. This was an exciting event since my old card was merely gold and the new one is -- platinum I can hardly wait for my next trip to the ATM. -With the possible exception of being admitted to a hospital, buying a home is the largest financial commitment most of us will ever make. -Ever since the invention of the automobile -- and, for that matter, the horse -- there has been a thriving market for used means of transportation. -Recently, Daimler Chrysler announced a recall of some 600,000 late model SUV's and pickup trucks. The problem is failed ball joints which, in rare cases, could cause a wheel to come off. (Most experts agree this can have an adverse effect on handling.)

Hello, I am Jim: A family story of Asperger Syndrome

Hello, I am Jim: A family story of Asperger Syndrome

Jim Gaffney

Few people understand what it means to live with autism or to raise a child that is on the spectrum. Even fewer know what it's like to experience both. Most, if not all, parents of autistic children ask the same question about their child's future. Can my autistic child grow to lead a normal life? While the term normal is subjective, the simple answer to that question is a resounding yes. You are hereby invited on a journey of discovery through some of the darkest and more enlightened corners of autism as the Gaffney family confront and utterly defy Asperger Syndrome at every turn. "Truth and I have brokered what I would describe as a fragile and uneasy truce over the years." Jim Gaffney, author and voice of Hello, I am Jim, recounts years of hard truths, painful memories, and fond nostalgia as he chronicles his lifelong journey with Asperger Syndrome. Born in 1970 among the quiet suburbs of Youngstown, Ohio, Jim always knew the truth - that he was different, but he didn't know why. From the frustrated vigilance of his parents at home, the hostile classrooms where his peers bullied him, to the unforgiving walls of his own self-esteem, he could not escape a constant sense of isolation during his childhood and adolescent years. Now, he shares his thoughts as a 48 year-old man looking back on his younger self with a totally new perspective. With stunning clarity of his inner world as a child, teenager, and young adult, Jim reflects on everything that shaped him: the tough love of his father, his struggle with obesity, his perseverance as a distance runner, and eventually the gentle, guiding current of fatherhood. With an introduction by his best friend and running companion, Greg Realmuto, this autobiographical memoir widens conventional understanding of autism, explains the value of "fire in the blood" and ultimately explores what it means to live a "neurotistic" life.
