Yet none of the womens' groups will touch it because it is the 'wrong kind' of violence. They 'only' handle domestic or sexual violence. As a litigant, no one takes you seriously because we're all supposedly frauds trying to get rich. The cops just say keep calling us when someone bothers you. Like the stalkers hang out waiting for them? Women have no credibility there, ever. I'm open to suggestions. Cathy,

I hope you can get to safety. Momsrising.org is trying to get BPA out of baby products in CA. It's a start, anyway. I suspect BPA is as ubiquitous as pesticides, as the FDA decided it is safe. Maybe for a 250-lb. man. Agasaya,

I always interpreted this to mean 'someone who fucks (ie rapes, presumably) their own mother', I'd never thought of it as general 'someone who has sex with a woman who has given birth'. That's why I'm happy to use it as an insult. (Notwithstanding, that is, the bit in the film 'Wildcats' when Goldie Hawn's character, accused in court of calling her ex a 'motherfucker', replies 'Well, it's true, I'm a mother and he used to fuck me'.)

Of course, the police insist I require hospitalization on life support before the stalking charges are taken seriously. Your health issues are quite common with exposures. Pesticides have become ubiquitous in the environment and it is not even a legal right to obtain advance notice of their use in your work or school/residential environments. If women took consumer rights issues as a priority womens issue, we could vastly improve our health. Cathy,

That's a BIG ol' centipede. I get wigged out enough with the smaller ones that the cat chases about the house. I'm posting to pass on the information, for all you glue-trappers out there, that oil is not the best way to free the little dudes (mice or otherwise). I found this out the hard way, ending up with one very oily and freaked out mouse still stuck to the trap. No, what works best at dissolving the glue is rubbing alcohol. I don't know if it's safe for arthropods, but it works quite well for freeing the rodents. Yar. That’s a BIG ol’ centipede.

I can't share it in this instance--quite frankly that picture is giving me the heebitijeebies. If it has more than four legs, I do NOT want it in the room with me. That's all there is to it.

Most of my fantasies seem to involve time travel. If this blog had existed back then, I would have known better than to marry him. And, yeah, it wasn't so long ago that women were considered to be sans souls. I kinda wish it were true so none of us would have to worry about an afterlife with men. Thanks, Larkspur.
