No, you're doing good! You only had to say "Yes, I know, you have a knife, sorry" one time during dinner prep today.

So In Memoriam of the people she, I and Momo were before they met that man, listen to me: They Don't Change If he hits you, whether physically or otherwise, he hit the last and he'll hit the next. He did. He will. Big, run. Run tonight. Leave everything. Please, please, please... Run tonight.

So she took her licks, because if she was the target they weren't. And the only threat that ever made him stop was "On god, I'll call Ty. I'll call them right now. I'll call them, then the cops so they get here the same time. You WILL lose these kids." THEY. WEREN'T. HERS. She took MY licks.

The avg number of times we leave an abuser is 7. It took me 3. It took her 9. Both of us, every time, turned back for the kids. My kids. 9 times she turned that car around for MY children. I made it out because I knew the only way I would was to come back for them after. She couldn't do that.

To be clear: this woman is in my phone as Sister Wife. I legit said to her this morning "I'm so sorry, if I knew he'd never change I'd have just poisoned him and saved us all the trouble". She and I are 2 of 3 soldiers (other was a partner smart enough to run 1st swing) who fought a war no one won.

My ex-husband's friends when his widow (wife 2) hits them with the truth nuke that he was actually very abusive: Pat? Really? No, I can't imagine...he'd never... Me, being told a story where he fractured her skull, choked her out, and then bought her a Subaru: SECOND VERSE, SAME AS THE FIRST.

Just a chairforce mil brat who grew up on Osan here, but one of the first moments I seriously considered that my dear Irish mother might be wrong about things was when he knelt. He ain't did shit but tell us we could be better.

I'm a self-aware gambler. I'm here for the dopamine, not the payoff. Opening good cards for you is the same drug as opening good cards for me.

And she's a Runner as far as breed, so about as naturally sociable as a sheep, but will eat out of your hand because that's how I loved her.

My best duck (oldest, biggest eggs, protector of the others, the queen auntie) went out swinging last night to protect a crippled drake who got carried off regardless. Miss Dolly, her name is Mango. Plus Mikey, if he limps up. Her eggs are good for baking.

The original protest was to sit. But he asked another pro who was a vet, who told him to kneel instead. He knelt out of respect for veterans. He knelt to literally beg on his knees for mercy from the police state. There has never been a more humble protest since Rosa said no. And we mocked him.

#witing Thing I learned today: ashes and elms look the same time the untrained eye. It literally comes down to width of bark separation, leaf alternation, and smooth vs serrated leaves. If this sounds meaningless to you, cool. If you're writing something tree-heavy (druids or mystey), yw.

To be clear, this obviously needed to be done. As my mother used to say, however, I'm not rewarding them for meeting basic expectations. Polis has been a problem for a long time for anyone on the actual left, and we should never have even gotten to the point where he could pull this crap.

Ah, so he has received the OFFICIAL No-no Finger of Doom from state Democrats for bowing to pressure from the king to free yet another corrupt bureaucrat. Yes. Well. That surely will indeed teach him.

As a duck hobby-farmer who spends time every year blowing eggs out for Eostre and freezing the innards to make pasta, if you told me that there was recorded and VeryNeat historical precedent for this art, I would have cared quite a bit (aka: been totes stoked).

If you warn her, you're the crazy ex. If you warn her, she'll cling tighter. If you warn her, he will use it. He wants nothing more than for you to warn her what he's like. All you can do is hope it really was you that was the problem after all. ...but it wasn't.

My 17yo just got caught with a teacup full of my rum on his bedside table while in a state that involved getting woken up multiple times to come up with a better lie. Ok. Alright. You're gonna drink like me? You're gonna work like me.

In better news, the local diner/bar (town pop. <700) serves on Fiestaware, makes absolutely crushing hashbrowns, and has a waitstaff/owner's son who starts convos with "Coffee or mimosa?" at 9am. 10/10 no notes.

Looks like the cistern I thought had been abandoned on my bug-out property was two (what were hopefully) dog houses (for human sized dogs) cut out of a 3k DOLLAR CISTERN, so we're back on the Doing Strangers Laundry For Monay game.

I have a rule: if there is an animal on a menu that I have not yet eaten, that's what I'm eating. Ground beef is, at my Walmart, 6.25$ a pound. There is not an animal you could offer me that would not elicit the thought "this is my only chance".

Listening to this anti-vaxxer hair stylist rant about getting kicked out of her medical assistant program for not getting her Covid vax. "Politics shouldn't keep someone out of a job." Sorry, if you don't understand medicine, you don't get to do it. Nobody trusts a chef who thinks trout is a bird.

Listening to the Bible again. Numbers, mid-20s to early 30s. I...don't get it. If my father treated me and my brother as differently as differently as men and women are treated here, I would say he was no father at all. Why would anyone want this?

I've been trying to figure out how to be clever and demure about what I'm working through right now, but the truth is that my ex-spouse/the reason I have PTSD hung himself in his garden shed last night and I'm working on getting our two teenage kids through this. I may post some angry shit. Sorry.

Do you have any idea how big of a mess you've left for the rest of us to clean up, you asshole? There's going to have to be insurance companies and lawyers and everything. People are already fighting over dumb shit before the coroner's even done with you.

The good news about the clear death-spiral-of-the-planet weather we're having here in Colorado is that the ground should be soft enough to bury a cistern for the nuclear bunker any day now. So...that's a plus.

No. Hel is not just Queen of the Dead, she is Queen of the Unwanted. She is the goddess of the disabled, the rejected, the stillborn, the ugly, the old, the useless. She takes what Vallhalla rejects. She is the goddess of everything the Nazis hated. And Odin himself refused to argue with her.

1. I can only eat protein-dense things, and only small amounts. 2. My SIL got a big-ol wheel of brie for Tday lunch. 3. Few other people at this party liked brie. 4. Brie is my current food fixation. 4+3+2+1= My diet for the last 36 hrs has been just brie and rum. I am a king. I need no country.
