Angel ,'Sleeper'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
ETA context
Basically, he targeted young women in various places to "abduct" them. Some parents even set their kids up to be "abducted".
I'm sorry, that's fucked up. I don't care if it's "for my own good" or whatever, anyone who set me up for something like that would no longer be a part of my life.
These women routinely left the doors open or unlocked and had sliding glass door without locks, etc.
Where do they live, though? In some places that would be more of an issue than others.
My friend Phillip has a trailer home, and has had attempted robbery more times than he can count, but catches them nearly everytime with two simplethings. One, He has a bell on the door to wake him, two, he sleeps with a baseball bat, waits to the guy gets close....and WHAM!
One of the criminals tried to sue, saying Phillip caused permanent injury. To me, it seems you're a sad little man if you're suing the guy whose home you broke into.
Hi. I'm home. I stopped at CVS for Ginger Ale, crackers and soup. Soon for bed.

It totally is. But, the parents were right there, watching on monitors what was going on. Still, kinda fucked up. One teenager, I think she accepted a ride from a guy out in THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY. If it hadn't been a set-up, she would be dead. And in that instance, if I was stupid enough to have gotten in the car and it was a set up, I'd learn real quick.
amusing comic strip, just because.
Hubby and I are horribly lax about security. I also need to send to Pennsylvania for a b. cert., if nothing else so I can get my time of birth. You passport-having people and your casual travel make me jealous.
Back to work.
vw, beware of chicken soup! If you're stomach is still fussy, the chicken and the noddles would not seem as nice when you taste them the second time. NIce warm broth is good.
Get some sleep and feel better!
I'm not sure where the house was located -- somewhere up north (it was snowing) to my Southern ear they sounded New Yorkish. It was a neighborhood with lots of houses nearby, etc.
Maybe I've just been lucky in my neighborhoods, but I've never felt seriously threatened when I've been out by myself at night. And I've walked ten blocks from the Downtown train station in Philadelphia to my boarding house at 2 AM. Twice. Granted, I was on a state of alertness comparable to DefCon 5 (or whatever the highest level is), but nothing pinged me as being potentially dangerous as I travelled.
I've had people offer me rides, I've been stalked, but no one's tried anything menacing. Hubby says I give off an air of "mess with me and die." I wish I knew how I did that. I can believe it of someone like ita who's trained and all, but I'm a short fat woman who talks big but has no training. Occasionally I have a knife. But that's it.
SS card and birth certificate I understand, because they're so rarely used.
I use both of mine on a fairly regular basis. (The birth certificate because I don't *have* a passport, and the SS card for work things.)
Though it occurs to me that I'm not actually sure where I've put my SS card at the moment.
Hmm. Must find that.
My birth certificate looks like a credit card. It's plastic, not paper. My certificate of foreign birth (which I stopped travelling with after 9/11) is probably with my SS card. I cleared a bunch of non-essential things out of the purse before our last roadtrip and put them somewhere "safe".
MMmmm Tiramisu ice cream. Creamy goodness
+ It's cheaper than crack cocaine
