The old joke is that 3,000 people bought “The Velvet Underground & Nico”—and half of them formed bands because of its influence. A bit of Lou Reed, John Cale, and friends.
I want to say good nite too and a shout out to our Dudette whose aunt passed away. Prayers, condolences, and hugs to you and your family. May your aunt rest in peace.
P.S. a shout out to our HZ. Have not seen you here in awhile. I hope you are lurking and see this. {{{HZ}}} hope the hot weather is not too hard on your health and are staying cool. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
#OWNthe114th …. because if you don’t, what you witness Putin doing to Ukraine will pale in comparison to what the #KOCH #Kleptocrats will do to YOU, your family and America. No Hype. No Joke.
I’ve never been the victim of domestic violence, but so much of the interviews following the NFL cases seem to be going back to putting the onus on the victims. Yes, the spotlights are on the players, but again the victims are being asked the eternal question, “Why did you stay?” Not sure all of the players will ever be interviewed not only admitting fully to their violent behavior, but actually saying or doing something that might resonate with others who have totally lost self-control in their homes and could hear from these celebrities not to emulate them … that not only is it illegal, but it’s harmful and life-threatening to their partners and children. That it’s far from “manly.” Not sure I’m making myself clear, but I’m not much of a “blame the victim” type person, even if it’s unintentional by those asking “Why did you stay?” and maybe not sounding that way to anybody but me!
It sounds just fine to me JoB – in just too many cases when a woman leaves an abusive man – she dies at his hand – if she attacks him she has to prove – way beyond “reasonable doubt” that it was self defense.
BEEN THERE…WAS MARRIED TO A MAN WHO TRIED TO KILL ME….THEY LAUGH AT YOU WHEN YOU FILE AGAINST THEM AND THAT INCLUDES MOST JUDGES. I WAS ADVISING A NEIGHBOR WHILE I WAS GOING THROUGH THIS…TRYING TO HELP HER….SHE COULDN’T AFFORD TO LEAVE…HAD A HANDICAPPED CHILD IN A WHEELCHAIR….END OF STORY…HER HUSBAND AND18 YEAR OLD SON FINALLY KIDNEY PUNCHED HER TO DEATH!
