"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I guess that would be her safest bet. I was hoping for something like Eye Gouging 101, or Kicks to the Groin: How to Make Them Work For You.
It just makes me sad that there are boys who need to physically threaten dying people and the elderly to feel like men.

Eddie, you should be sleeping. I should be sleeping too.

Mostly lurking...
Lilty, what an awful, messed up situation. I'm so very sorry. Lots of ~ma headed towards your family.
YAY, Kristin! How exciting! Much ~ma headed your way as well.

Our wings are not tired.
Very exciting Kristin! Woo!
What a mess Lilty. How awful that they have to worry about safety during their time of grief.

Lilty, I have taken several self-defense courses, although it has been some years. There was a lot of emphasis being prepared to defend yourself and on simple techniques to hurt attackers so that you had time to run away and call for help. You could ask the instructor about whether the course is appropriate for older people, but I don't know of any reason why you can't make it a fun family outing. I think some self-defense training might be more effective than pepper spray, since this is a person who knows y'all and knows where you live. Under those circumstances, you'd have to have the pepper spray with you 24 hours a day. If you find him particularly creepy, you might want to make sure people have key-locking deadbolts on their doors and if he might have had access to keys, change the locks.
Yay, Kristin!

Thanks everyone!

Because books.
Congratulations, Kristin! It sounds very exciting. Sending you lots of strength for getting through the next few months, too.
Lilty, that does sound awful. Deadbolts and some self-defense tips sound like a very good idea for everyone.
I can't believe it's June. Wasn't it just Christmastime?
