Telling women not to do things because "it's not safe" is a big pet peeve of mine.
kmdskit3 comments on Apr 24, 2018:
I agree with you almost completely but I would add one thing. Just like African-Americans have that talk with their sons about how to act around law enforcement it's a good idea to help young women to be aware of their surroundings and possible dangers. That doesn't mean burdening them with ...
AnneWimsey replies on Apr 24, 2018:
@Blindbird uummm, i see about everyother post from women telling yu the dangers are real, they teach their daughters to be aware, hey stay aware. You are willfully not seeing it, everyone is concerned for hhou/about you...

AnneWimsey comments on Mar 29, 2018:
Mine have sat unused for over 20 years...i did some cold readings at a party (against my better judgement, but heavily urged into it) and "caught" a severe depression from one of the subjects, who, it turned out, had every right to be severely depressed. Took a week to shake, even knowing it was ...
AnneWimsey replies on Apr 24, 2018:
@Beamieupscottie on this one, because it was at the home of a friend, i felt comfy....turns out 2 of the guests were a grown guy and his mom...from her I caught the "depression", as she was the paroler for the convicted child-molester son, a lifetime sentence for Her! His were the weirdest cards I have ever read, hers were the saddest most hopeless. I will never read for strangers again, and I do not need/ want to know stuff my friends are hiding, so....DONE!

Oh am I ever dealing with this shit now that I'm a widow and dating. My kids, my friends, co-workers and former co-workers, all admonishing me about how careful I need to be.

A long as you do not let them know where you live for awhile, you only need to do checks on the possible "keepers" Common sense: this includes not using your home phone number with them! Be safe! And be aware that if you accept transport, etc from a relative stranger, unless you are severely injured, no district attorney will take the case!

Not one person intervened in any way, in fact that was the pain I felt (until the next day). All I could do was keep saying, over& over, "nobody helpedme".

Being offended: What does it REALLY mean?
birdingnut comments on Apr 17, 2018:
I disagree. As a white, cis hetero male you are rolling in white male privilege, so likely don't face many challenges, but if you are a black, Muslim, female, Latino, in the LGBTQ community, etc., you will quickly find out how cruel and insulting people can be. YES, people can be triggered. ...
AnneWimsey replies on Apr 17, 2018:
@MacTavish Make a post singling out black treatment and trying to minimize it...yes there are iffy situations but even One malice-filled unnecessary shooting is Way too many...and I will happily be in your face. Snarky, "pissy" and nasty, just like your oh-so-innocent query.

They cost a lot not a day, the two that I've had done yrs ago.were only $50.00 each. Now for the same ones your looking at spending $150.00 each or more. Nice looking tack.

Around here the good artists get $100/hour plus tip. A 6" x6" will take about 2 hours, over 2 visits...first outlining, then 2 weeks later for color..so, 2 tips (at least $20 per visit, unless you are both cheap & stupid, lol!)
Got my first tattoo today.

If you were meant to have a tatoo, youvwould have been born with one. Prefere all my scars, each one has a story !

I can't wait to hear what happens when you have to fold the fitted sheet.

NEVER fold a fitted sheet...roll in a ball and place in back of closet until needed. Martha Stewart indeed has a video on how to fold them, but why would you do that to yourself?

I had lots of success on POF. Sadly they turned out to be gold-diggers and I have no tolerance for that crap or else they were bat-shit crazy and a few turned out to be bible thumpers which I clearly stated in my profile that I wanted non-religious. One even turned out to be all 3, a gold-digging ...

To me it is just the justification of being abussive towards your kids
AnneWimsey replies on Apr 16, 2018:
Abuse is allowing them to run amok drinking screwing around developing drug habits. I do not feel that that is love! Everyone needs to learn boundaries and limits and how to care properly for themselves! And that actions have consequences! It is extremely abusive in my opinion to fail to teach that by being a doormat I know several women in their 60s 70s and 80s who are still making their grown sons' beds and taking charge of their parole....... in my opinion they're stupid enablers and are extremely abusive to these man-babies! These guys are never going to grow up because Mom lets them have everything they want and more

AnneWimsey replies on Apr 15, 2018:
@JayJackson and this is a Starbucks corporate stance? Or an ignorant local manager that will not doubt be let go? Nobody is more aware of racism, and calling it out, than i, my entire life, but tarring the entire company for the actions of one person is also wrong! And cool the CAPS and telling me i am in an ivory tower...WTH put you in charge?

For example, you have never heard of a mouth dam or mouth condom, and yet approx. 1/3 of cases are spread Orally...fluids are fluids, wherever they seep from! Does your defensive sarcasm result from the Fact that you know you are woefully ignorant? When my BIL died he weighed 63 lbs at 6'2".......

@Loud_Love well, check your CDC stats, people...the fastest-growing HIV-positive group in the country, for 10 years running, is women my age...over 62, so I do think I know a bit about it, since I try to spread the word. And yes to be truly safe you need to use a mouth dam...transmissable bodily fluids are not just below the waist. With you all's level of "awareness" i sincerely wish you a lot of luck!
