@girlnamedblue: Oh, God, I am so sorry to hear that. My heart breaks for your friend.

@bowleserised: WORD. Really good point.

I thought they identified the man in the photo but Shain refused to believe it was him even though his story was corroborated by others. I can't remember where I read this.

@Laulau: I have never had to hold the front door for a man I didn't know. If I get into the lobby and there's a guy there, I wait for him to disappear up the front elevator (my apartment is in the back of the building) before I make any movement in the direction of my apartment. If he gets in the back elevator, I take…

@maude_flanders: Also, the story about the girl in your building is so sad and terrifying. I hate that men do this to women they supposedly love. I hate that strangers do it, too.

@maude_flanders: I have a key to the front door.

@BrutallyHonestBabes: Yeah, I have been meaning to read it, but that is what I thought as well. The guy who actually did try to follow me in was visibly intoxicated... I made a quick judgment and decided he was too incapacitated to hurt me and quickly slammed the door in his face, locking it behind me. One comfort is…

@gherkinfiend: It is so sad, but that's where my mind went, too.

@SisterMaryMartha is GOLDEN.: I have tears in my eyes. At least the guy was caught. I am hoping that maybe it is the attempted rapist we had attacking women closer to my place a few months ago, as opposed to another rapist who was out on the street.

@30RocksMySocks: I hope he was counseled by an advocate as a co-survivor.

Someone tried to follow me into my building recently, not too far from where this occurred. I was just starting to feel safe in my neighborhood again (another guy threatened to follow me home the very next night). I live with my boyfriend, but I rarely ask him to buzz me in. If the guy had been successful in following…

@SisterMaryMartha is GOLDEN.: Yes. I didn't see your comment before posting my own. I am sick over this.

Not would-be rapist. He successfully raped her and is being held on a rape charge. The boyfriend arrived mid-attack. :-(

She totally named him after Nate Archibald.

@DinaRonson: I think it was a fair answer; she basically said she needed more time to think it over.

@30RocksMySocks: I understand what you (and Sam) are saying. I don't think she meant to say animals should be treated less than humans, but that concern for human beings should go hand in hand with concern for animals.

@KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: Is he still being all Republican about things?

@TheVaginaWig: Arts nonprofit.

Also, I love the Torres/Hahn storyline on Grey's.

My boss is gay and has a long-term partner but pretends to be straight even though everyone we work with knows her partner and they own property together. Meanwhile almost every guy in my company is gay and they don't seem to hide it. I mean, some choose not to mention their partners, but I doubt they ever make…
