the offender upon arrest

thanks, the experience felt like rebreaking bones I thought healed...but I got through, always have. Hopefully always will.

didn’t go to trial. settled out of court. lawyers for both sides made out when all was said and done. I was shell shocked, even though I was the plaintiff, my sexual history, as well as current relationships, therapy history was subject to more scrutiny than the defendants, you know, to protect them from the…

my lawyer was new to the game and allowed all sorts of stuff that should not have been allowed...after some other crap the defense pulled that she should have objected to, I switched lawyers, things only slightly improved. The defense still tried to use my past against me, using words like “fragile”, “hysterical”…

this tired literary and film device also reinforces simplistic thinking like this in “real life”. When involved in a lawsuit against an employer for sexually harassing me (amongst other types of harassment and discrimination), the defense was able to gain access to information that I had been sexually abused and…

I hope that seeing Trump’s tweet makes those getting drunk on cheap Corona’s, Tecate’s, margaritas and jamming their faces full of tacos, nachos and whatever they think is “Mexican” while wearing sombreros to “celebrate” Cinco de Mayo realize that what they are doing is not much different than him and that taco bowl.

I made a typo, it is Pearl Love, not Lee. I apologize for that mistake.

it would be nice (and beyond) if she weighed in some support for Pearl Lee and others who are not buffeted against the serious verbal and physical threats experienced daily

my dad ate it (banana and mayo) too. He had Southern roots...tomato and mayo sandwiches also (which I like)...

Sharing Piterberg’s photo, in case I am not the only one who likes to be able to put a “face” on these guys.

Regarding the straw:wrinkle thing: it’s not just straws, but water bottles (or any bottle with a small opening) that do this. For years I drank directly out of liter bottles of seltzer, all day, every day. Noticed wrinkles forming around my lips, like “smoker’s wrinkles” except I never smoked. Dermatologist told me to…

:) mmmm. birria tacos...

thanks, I do my best, but often forget that is good enough, until I am reminded why it is.

right on. i was molested as young child by a babysitter, then a few years later by my brother, then raped as a young woman. leaving out all the other similar crap between and after those key events (I won’t get into the psychology that sets one up for reoccurrence of abuse...). Point is, I don’t need/want to be…

I don’t think you’re serious about the GoGogurt, but just in case, putting something with all that added sugar (not to mention colorants) up into your lady land is an invitation to all sorts of problems. Stick with the non sweetened plain yogurt if you must put it up there.

anyone who gets delivery, no matter the weather, should watch the Sean Baker and Shih-Ching Tsao’s 2004 film, “Take-Out”. Seeing what represents a day in the life for many food delivery people is eye opening and sobering.
