Teppy, I'm sorry. I remember how distressing it was with my upstairs neighbor and her daughter always fighting. I thought when I finally called the cops that DCF would get involved, but it never happened.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My therapist said I can call CPS and tell them what happened, including that the police came, and they can decide whether to proceed. And otherwise, I'll just continue to keep an eye on them.

Teppy- I am glad for that little boy that you are there to intervene. I am both horrified and saddened that you and he have this experience in common & I love the security camera idea.

My parents never physically abused us, but my mom was pretty adept at the verbal abuse. Seeing the mom across the street kick her son actually wasn't more upsetting than hearing her yell horrible things at him. It's the yelling that triggers the shit out of me, and she does it all the damn time.

That sounded like a pretty traumatic situation, Steph. I'm sorry you ended up being a witness to it.

Made an appointment for physical in a few weeks. Mostly to check hormones.
The problem I mentioned before is slightly better. Still frustrating but slightly better

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I had an appointment with my rheumatologist this morning. We talked about how she's taking classes about medical marijuana, and that, once it becomes available legally in Ohio (supposedly September), we'll discuss whether it's a good option for me to try it and try to cut back on opioids. And then I got home and saw Sessions' new statement about enforcing federal marijuana laws, and I'm pissed off. And also achy, because I was tired right after my appointment (I also had to have x-rays), and thought, "I'll go home and rest for a while, then go to CVS to get my prescription," but of course, once I'd gotten inside, I did not go out again in the single-digit weather.
Ugh. And I need to make another appointment with the foot and ankle doctor to get new ankle braces made (probably both ankles now, after just wearing it on one ankle for years), and then also do PT, and go to the hand surgeon, and, ugh. Taking care of myself is a lot of work.

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.
That is a lot, Hil.

Why does my mom like the yelling at each other reality shows. Cops, Real Police Women, Dr Phil, 90 Day finance, if people are angry and yelling she's watching it and I end up listening to it because this house has no sound proofing.
She also watches home improvement shows but the yelling and fighting shows make me anxious. The only non reality tv she watches is Wheel of Fortune, Big Bag Theory, and sometimes Lethal Weapon.
Maybe I can get ger hooked on Brooklyn Nin Nine since its syndicated now
