That's the grooming that happened to me by a family friend. Demanded kisses on the lips and parents were the type to not object but demand me to go up to their adult friends to give them a hug and saying "no" would be considered rude. I was an easy target for this guy. My sister was expected the same but he never…

I'm sorry for your loss. My two kitties are elders now and just thinking about no longer having them around makes me teary. One is snuggle at my feet and snoring away as I'm writing this.

Oh look at that. These were in style when I was in my late teens a number of years ago. Have they made a resurgence as I donated mine years ago.

Thank you for this, diegoscorner. I was going to post the same but now don't have to. Have a great day!

Visible minority as well and it makes me sad at first then really angry.

Makes me incredibly angry.

Sadly, some people commit suicide because they truly believe that their family and friends would be better off without them, view themselves as burdening others', and they have tried all sorts of therapy and medications but it just keeps coming back and can't go through it again for the X number of time. It couldhave…

Yep. This is very true as many people appear to be functioning in the world doing their thing but they might be having problems getting out of bed each day, no longer finding any joy in life, mostly crying when alone and inside their spirit is slowly dying. In Cantonese the word for depression literally translates…

Your level of resilience and determination to keep going on is very impressive. I hope you land that coveted job soon and get all the good stuff in life (new love, financial stability and MOST of all an inner sense of peace).

YES!!! Exactly what I was thinking.

Or the suspect aggressor would be asked to leave the bus or refused service resulting to wait for the next bus which would be an inconvenience. That is what I meant by the bus driver having discretion - I probably wasn't all that clear in my previous post. I don't view this differently based whether the individuals…

You might want to try Rescue Remedy as it is made of a bunch of herbs that calms the nerves. Not sure what exactly is in it so maybe check with pharmacist to find out if any contraindicatations with other medications. It come in tincture, hard candy form, and gummies (which are delish). I've used them in the past…

That's when the cops would start an investigation (hopefully) if they were called. Instead the other alternative is to allow a potential rapist follow his target onto the bus? Bus drivers do have discretion on who they let onto and ask to leave their bus. Because this is the alternative you are suggesting.

Grammatical errors. Bleh!

I'm not sure how I would have reacted in that situation. I heard from my guy friends that a boy or man's first physical fight is a milestone. I have never been in a physical fight before and don't even know how to throw a proper punch. It also doesn't help that I am barely 5 ft tall so I'm am distinctly at a…

Mum looks like the one on the left as she seems to have a more sophisticated sense of style. That's just my guess as an Chinese woman who is 42 and looks much younger.

I am so tired hearing about people's children. Seriously, I really do not care how your toddler's potty training is going which I had to listen to ad naseaum from a co-worker today. Also, I don't want to hear about how she got sick in the middle of the night and barfed everywhere either.

That is absolutely fabulous.

blizzard weather moving through toronto right now. enjoy the snow. we've had way too much of it in the prairies already.

Not feeling the Beyonce love. I don't understand it and I'm really not interested.
