oh Cybervixen, I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. I don't have anything helpful to say, except please tell her that the invisible people are thinking about her.

Trust my rage
tommy, I said how sorry I was over in Citches, but I just realized that you don't really post there. So I'm very sorry about Senor Sock. You were both lucky to have had each other.
And I love that ht evet gave you the paw prints. How sensitive and caring!

Tommy, I was so sorry to hear about Senor Socks. It sounds like he was a great companion and I hope you are taking care of yourself in every way possible today.
I took off the day after my best friend's dog died unexpectedly so I could go with her to get a memorial tattoo of him. He was also a good dog friend of mine so I needed a chance to mourn also.
My old dog fell down my stairs yesterday and freaked me out. He's fine. I really need to get some kind of skid pads or something to prevent that from happening again.
Cybervixen, that is so terrible about your cousin. I know the self-defense organization I've trained with highly recommends Gavin De Becker's Gift of Fear (not specifically to rape victims, to basically everyone). I haven't read it myself, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You guys with suggestions for CV should make sure you email them to her since I'm not sure she reads regularly, and if so which threads.

Thanks, ita, I was just going to do that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, that's just horrible. Why do people have to suck so much?

I'm sorry about Senor Sock, Tommy. I hope that you are able to take a day today.

Sorry to herd. Just wanted to make sure nothing gets lost.
I've heard of that book you mention--probably in a krav context now that I think about it. It was recommended.
Rape kits just shouldn't be left in the hands of people who can't be decent to a rape victim. That's just pain on top of pain.

Also, they gave me a little clay pad with his pawprints on it. I'm baking it right now (to make it solid).
When our cat died, the vet clinic had this as an option but having paid $250 for cremation, we passed on the paw pad imprint. A few weeks later, the receptionist from the clinic called us - she had arranged for a print to be taken at her own cost. Now THAT made me cry. *sniff*
