Publishing my Kindle Books

...ere tasks that remain. 3. Create something that may help my children, grandchildren, and our descendants, know a bit about “the III’d” John Burton Hunter. I started down that path with a series of letters, “Letters to Anna”, our granddaughter, and now the five grandchildren who have joined her. Perhaps someday, properly edited, they will make it into a Kindle book 4. See if I can make a change in the practice of law in WV, strive for a consensus i...

Symantics, Metaphor, Religion, and Clarity of Thought

...the old testament? What are the people in our congregation, including the children, to make of that story. Perhaps Criticize the founder of a religion at your great peril!? 6. Here are me points of disagreement or clarification with these stories. a. Of course the President and El Jazeera, and CNN do not want to be provocative or offend Moslems in general. BUT, even though a small percentage of purported Moslems are terrorists, thousands are mili...

Doing the Right Thing, and Not Being Afraid

...“crack paralegals” made a gutsy call today that got a client time with his children, under tense conditions. She took a risk, acted independently, and here was my response to her: “Here’s the deal, and here is how I think. What you did was excellent. I concur. You took a risk. The argument against us could have been we were doing indirectly what he could not do directly. We could have taken considerable criticism if not worse. But……. IF it had blo...

Social Media Annual Review – Marketing for the Small Firm Lawyer

...ts. Our firm sponsored a bicycle safety “road-e-o”, and bought helmets for children in the community. If you do not care about your community, it probably won’t care that much about you. For the first time, “The (new) WV (Lawyers) Rules of Professional Responsibility” identify a responsibility of a lawyer to become “tech savvy”. I emphatically agree! I wrote “How to Set Up a Tech Savvy Legal Office” four years ago: https://hunterlawfirm.net/how-to...

When You Can’t or Won’t hire a lawyer? A $500 Option.

...was married for ten years, has a 401K, house with mortgage, cars, job, and children is $2850. I will usually keep at least $1050, but will do $3050 work of work and service before charging more, and, if we go over that sum, I reduce my hourly rate from $200 to $175. That way we “share the pain” of a contested divorce. 9. Most divorces are not contested; because: a. I negotiate aggressively, using mediation often; and because, b. My opponent in tri...

The Formative Effect on a Country Boy of the 4-H Clubs in Ohio County, WV in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s

...f Foreign wars. So, camp was a bit of escape for me. Still, on balance, my childhood was a happy one. My dad was a nice guy, and I have no huge complaints, but my mentors in the 4-H club and the United Methodist Youth Fellowship and even earlier in the Cub Scouts, were very important, with my parents, in forming, and helping to form the person I am today. A final teenaged memory I need to share is the United Methodist Church sending us for a week...

...nce or prejudice, learn, from a reliable source (and know what that means) something about the critical issues of the day. 5 Consider it a responsibility of our citizenship to continue our educations throughout our lives. Knowledge is power 6. Foster in our children a love of learning and reading. 7. Use our religions as a bastion of core values of right and wrong, justice, and peace, and NOT as an excuse to claim we are better than others with di...

How Perspectives Change

...eek when I beeped at her from behind the school bus as she accompanied her children, in front of her house. She said, “No; at first I just thought you were a creepy old man.” Unless it hits her at home tonight, she will probably never realize that from my perspective it is a shock to be called a “creepy old man”. It doesn’t seem so, but the little boy in this photo is 60 years older, and the guy giving him a hug is 4. Our perspectives change gradu...

A Modern View of Religion by a Spiritual Person

...the greatest model and teacher ever presented to man. I learned that as a child and believe it still. 10. As we get older, I think it is possible to be agnostic or uncertain about what God, “The Mystery of Mysteries”, is. 11. Maybe God is nothing more than the concept in our hearts and minds, “Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You.” 12. And the concept of God might be placed in our consciousness by evolution – humans can live and mu...

Transferring Photos and Videos from your iPhone

...levant in the world, constantly learn! We have received many tips from our children, but we share them too. Alexa, writing tools, air fryers, Spotify, Sirius, scanning software, film and slide scanners, voice recorders, “voice to text”, and the rest. The power of the computer is waiting for you to use it. But, if you have difficulty sorting out the various cloud services, or live in rural areas with data speed limits, or……, here is a tip I just di...
