That’s *exactly* what happens.

“Abused and neglected individuals reported a higher number of traumas and victimization experiences than controls and all types of childhood victimization (physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect) were associated with increased risk for lifetime revictimization. Significant group (abuse/neglect versus control) by…

It’s call re-victimization. Once a person’s self-esteem has been lowered by an initial mistreatment, that person becomes easier and easier to victimize by subsequent attacks. Malevolent people do attempt to victimize well-adjusted women with large social circles.

The search criteria you’re looking for is “Bee rescue.” Rescue is immediately more expensive than extermination and that price increases exponentially with the size of the hive so - act *quickly*.

...and the *best* customer Cleans Up Their Own Mess.

My favorite so far was “The Von Trapp children, if they were adults and sided with Hitler.”

I saw a trailer for this in front of All Creatures Here Below and was immediately intrigued. I hope it becomes available to see where I live. (I drove abt 100 mi to see All Creatures and We Have Always Lived in the Castle at the Monica Film Center!)

Then spend a couple hundred bucks on some cameras! You’re not even posting them where normal commuters would be. Why is this difficult?

Well, if you’re the type of person who thinks “She’s saving all these lives in the 18th century! How is the future timeline unaffected?!” ...this is not the show for you. It’s definitely Fantasy Romance (as opposed to Science Fiction).

Actually, the first season has Claire bouncing around Scotland at a good clip and the second moves the whole story to France. (That’s where I’m at in my watch right now)

I skipped the last season - it gets so much play on my Twitter feed I still know everything - and started watching Outlander. I REGRET NOTHING.

...and maybe provide a BASIC level quality control among their workforce in the form of background checks (to prevent all the sexual assaults).

Oh, it’s so much worse than that. The justification from the press and the royal nerds for demanding pictures of Archie is that the royals are financially maintained by public money so that makes them public property. That concept is disgusting in every conceivable way. I pay taxes that fund public schools (as an…

I always manage to make more than we can actually eat. They freeze really well, tho and reheat okay in the toaster (if they fit).

He has pancake powers.

Avocado FTW!  It’s such a fresh, clean, smooth taste.  I’m a huge fan.  

Seconded! Always buy the whatever’s the “step up” in your brand of choice in balsamic vinegar when using it for a raw application. At Trader Joe’s, it’d be the gold label, rather than the red one. Even one jump up makes a big difference.

Right on. It’s just not a good idea, after a particularly long and hard day, for me to pick up a chef’s knife or handle a heavy, hot saucepan, either. My knife skills are pretty good, but I’ve taken a class. If those little bags of onions, mushrooms and cantaloupe are keeping people out of the ER on a Tuesday night,…

Gosh, I had no idea frying pancakes in butter was even a thing?? I’ve always used veggie oil spray. Even so, the first pancake is always a hot mess. I should probably start with medium high instead of high but that takes longer and I want pancakes NOW, dang it!

Why not? A couple hundred years ago, people used their knife all day long - slicing into wood, leather, fabric, other people, and then dinner. They did it without the benefit of dish soap or detergent and the human race is still here.
