Oh dear heavens, beth-- so much healing ~ma for Matt & your neighborhood and those women.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Beth - it might sound like overreacting, but does Matt have access to a counselor? People respond to crises in very different ways both during and after, it's totally normal for him to be feeling the stress now that the adrenaline has worn off and he can doublethink his own response. So sorry ya'll had to to go through such an ordeal.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Beth, all my love to Matt.
I assumed what Trudy meant was that maybe 10 years ago, she referred to a 12 yo Ecuadorian and today she's dating a 22 yo Ecuadorian.
Yes, Nonian cracked the code. Several years later I dated a man who had indeed been 12 and in Ecuador when the joke was made.

Beth healing ~ma to the neighbor and best wishes to Matt. And Matt is a hero whether he wants to think so or not. What Matt did is what heroes do - intervening now. And if he is feeling guilty cause when he Monday Morning quarterbacks himself he can think of something better then maybe counseling would help. He did something that helped on the spur of the moment and that is a million times better than a perfect intervention that never got implemented. And healing ~ma to you too, cause it can't be easy having someone you love do something heroic and then second guess himself because he did not do even better.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Beth, thoughts for your neighbours who were attacked, and ~ma for Matt, of any kind that he needs. Mostly, what Typo Boy said.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
How is Matt doing today, beth?
