I just had lunch with Maria, and I can't believe it took us a year to tear ourselves away from our respective desks to do so. Craxy!
Hey, I'm even closer to you than Maria, and you never want to have lunch with me!

BTW, I sent you something to the takoma pk addy. I hope that's still good.
Lucky!
A major benefit of living here, I agree.
bonny, do you have any time this weekend? I'll introduce you to the pup, and Bart can ask her if she's ever going to learn to behave.

I got it! I'm so sorry I forgot to say so! Thanks!
and you never want to have lunch with me!
We three should have lunch!

Yes! I do have time this weekend and would love to roll around in puppy.
I'm prepping for my 12th annual Oscar party (how does a woman who hasn't owned a tv in that many years do it? A very generous friend a block away...every year, he schleps it over, bless him).
Other than that, I'm free. Ping my profile addy and we'll find a time...preferrably when you can take advantage of the Market!
I got it! I'm so sorry I forgot to say so! Thanks!
no, I'm sorry it took so damn long to get it to you :)
I can't cite my source, I'm remembering an NPR interview I heard over a year ago, but I think the sex offender statutes are so broad, and the Megan's Law website so misleading, that a guy who was arrested for masturbating in his car appears to have been convicted of sex with a minor under the age of 14.
Happy Birthday BeVERly!
After my mom was diagnosed with ALS (well, actually, at some point after she lost the use of her legs), my parents put me in counseling. I was 12, and all the counselor really wanted me to say was that my father was sexually abusing me. Which couldn't have been farther from the truth, and made me absolutely distrust all psychological counseling for years and years.
This is another facet of why it would be beneficial for our culture to be more supportive and accepting of people who really are victimized this way - it would make it less of an obsession.
Happy birthday, bev! May the day be filled with peace and tranquility, with an added dash of fun to make things interesting.
bonny, I have no words. You are a wonderfully brave, strong and loving woman. Thank you for sharing.
{{{Nora}}} I'm so sorry this is happening to you and people you care about it.
Little Miss Muddy Face is adorable.

I know! It's insane!

We should ALL get together for lunch!
We three should have lunch!
Bwah! Inevitable x-post.

No moping. If you are a DCista, you're automatically invited.

Exactly. If we didn't create so may places to hide, there would be no reason to hide! The whole false memory thing boils my blood.
I had one therapist tell me that she was sure I have repressed memories. I can guarantee you I do...and that's okay because, frankly, I remember plenty and, further more, so WHAT? It isn't the detail that matters, it's what you do with what you have.
