Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

(can? I was looking for a trigger pump or aerosol, not a can--maybe that's why I missed it--I've only used the trigger pump Scrubbing Bubbles before)
Can. Trust me on this.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

ita beat me to it.

Allyson, I don't know you and I'm unfamiliar with your writing. But if the stuff is true and if you would have written while she was alive, why should the fact that she's now dead matter? It's not like you're writing a eulogy for that person.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think I'm just wondering that if my book gets published, the dozens of readers who buy it will read this story and...the way she will be remembered is a crazyass nutjob lying sack of shit.

Remember that they won't be reading it now, or in the next two weeks, or the next month. So it won't come off quite the way it feels right now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Would you take it?

Am I understanding correctly that it's supposed to be taken as soon as possible after the trauma? Not really the best time to have to make that kind of choice.

Really a bad time to try and make that choice. Though I can see the point of it in some situations.

Oh, I didn't get that. That's more worrisome, really. But I guess I can see some people wanting it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I remember when Scrubbing Bubbles™ was just plain old Dow Bathroom Cleaner™.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Was she a crazyass nutjob lying sack of shit?

Yes. Likely, she was mentally ill, which I also stated. Beverly suggested putting a note at the end about her death just a few weeks before I completed the essay, which I did, and ended it by saying that I hope her troubled mind is at peace.

I think that was the best way to go about it.

That seems very kind actually. While still being honest in the essay. Being dead now doesn't make what she did any less heinous.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Would you take it?

Interesting. With enough testing? Yeah, I think I would, if it really does what it says. There's the problem that they're intending it for traumas which would result in PTSD, and it's not entirely clear which ones those are, but memories that get etched so strongly that they cause insurmountable fear or flashbacks can cause serious, disabling damage. So, yeah. You know, if the pharmaceutical world were perfect and I could trust that it would actually do exactly and only what they say. Hah!
