Funny! And that was a callback to the original series episode, “By Any Other Name.”

That was my second thought about this! It’s a nifty way to keep women out of networking opportunities while making yourself look virtuous instead of like a patriarchal pig. My FIRST thought was what Sobchak Security wrote before I got to it: this sounds like the “conditions” his wife laid out for staying with him…

I’m so sorry about your experience, and I’m glad you told such supportive friends! I guess denial is a common reaction, like in grief. And it may serve some purpose, at least for a while. Validation is very helpful! I wish you peace and wellness as you continue to process what happened to you.

I’m so sorry it happened to you, too. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. Recovery is an individual process. I think that for me, and maybe for you, not calling it rape served a purpose at the time. Sending you good thoughts and positive energy!

Thank you, Surprise! Hippopotamus. Sometimes over the years, the day has gone by unnoticed but, like Sarah Kasbeer, Trump’s candidacy and (shudder) presidency have brought a lot of painful memories back to mind.

Thank you for sharing this, especially today. I was raped by my first boyfriend on this date 37 years ago. At one time, I used to pretend it hadn’t really been rape. At one time, I couldn’t read about sexual assaults. At one time, just hearing the word “rape” would tear holes in my soul. Time, therapy and healthy…

My son’s college cafeteria used to make Trix treats. He loved them and asked me to make them for him when he was home on breaks.

Cool! I agree with you that the theatrical version is better. The director’s cut just confused me.

“darkest of timelines” Nailed it!

I’ve had good luck catching Pokémon using the new tracking when I’m in an area with Pokestops. There are no stops by my house but Sightings still seems to work out here
