All of the stars for this!
I hope my outcome is similar with all of this. I will admit it seems like a longshot. She seems to have also surrendered all of her self awareness. Thank you all the same for your thoughtful response.
This. This. This. A thousand times this.
If I could give you a thousand stars, I would.
Right. Fucking. On.
This really hit home for me, and in such a timely way. But perhaps for different reasons than many of the commenters here. I have a dear, lifelong friend. She and I have always been best friends — we go back 30 years. As one would expect, that’s a lot of partners for both of us in the rearview mirror. For the most…
Right?! I can easily imagine this being a way to cope with massive trauma. Again, in no way am I saying this is true for her. We can’t possibly know that. But it’s not a leap for me to imagine a child dealing with this kind of protracted trauma by trying to just pretend she is simply being made to re-watch the worst…
I caught most of the interview. I have to say, one of the things that stood out for me particularly was DeJesus. She seemed almost child like. Please understand, I don’t mean a shred of disrespect by that. I don’t mean childish. I don’t mean immature. Not at all. I mean she had the air, the voice, even the mannerisms…
Sigh... I can’t even find my goddamn car keys.
Brilliant!!
But just think! I have lived your nightmare so you don't have to! So you can just walk right up to him with all the grace, tact, and aplomb that completely eluded me. Win/win!
Thank you! He's such a treasure! And I am such a dork.
I did! Finally! Bonus? He has a way of saying your name to you in conversation. He was that way with everyone, recalling their names straight away (people he'd likely never see again) and engaging with them personally. Such a gem!
Thank you! I mean, really... why just fail when you can fail sooooo hard, amirite? Glad you got a laugh! Feel better soon!
So ever since my high school days way back in the day, I had crushed on Patrick Stewart hard. Mind you, I couldn't have given two hoots about Star Trek. I had seen him play Jane's father in the period film Lady Jane and swooned myself into a proper puddle the moment I heard that voice. You could say that voice, along…
This is the precise reason why I tip to win. Every person who serves you every single day has to deal with countless numbers of these people. I try to offset this cruel fact by knowing the names of every single person who serves me on a regular basis, including bar backs — AND — by tipping the shit out of them because…
I mean no disrespect to you, EMTs, paramedics (or waiters & waitresses for that matter). Truly. I admire what you do and have witnessed personally the difficult circumstances under which you must often perform your duties.
