  1. I have no idea who this woman is, but having that pic on my desktop helps me avoid a lot of random snacking. http://i63.tinypic.com/2lclg.jpg
  2. on the flip side of it, what would you do if you believe you saw a male going into a female toilet? you would react the same way a little, no? I've seen that once, in Vegas. There was a man, wearing make-up and a dress, crying over the sink. He had mascara running everywhere. My daughter was with me; she asked if he was okay. He just said something like, 'Thanks sweetie, I'm fine'. End of story. I wasn't scared, that never even entered my head. Nor did I think to ask him to leave, or ask him why he's there. He was wearing a dress, clearly he felt he belonged there, and he wasn't hurting anybody. If anything, he was the one who was hurting. If they're just using the bathroom, what's it to me? A different scenario, one that would probably scare me: If a guy looked manly and threatening, and followed me into the bathroom. That hasn't happened, though I imagine if it did, I would just wait til he left. Or use the now-empty men's room; if he follows me back out, his intentions are clear. Or talk to an employee, see if they have a janitor or something to go in with me. Or stay on the phone while I'm in there (haha weird, but you know, better than killed in a bathroom!) What I wouldn't do, is confront the person, like that man did. That would be putting my safety at additional risk, for no real gain. At best, he leaves and... I still go to the bathroom, except now maybe scared of an ambush. At worst, ew, I'm about as threatening as a dishrag, & just as likely to get wiped. I've been followed nearly home from a *grocery store*. It started with a man behind me, whispering and mumbling, while I was shopping. After I left the store, I could hear him behind me still. I saw some cops in the parking lot. We had a brief conversation, in which they told me they couldn't do much, but they could detain him for a few. They also advised me to hurry home, and to not be out at night in that part of town. They did stop him, I could hear it happening even if I couldn't make out what was going on (being that I took full advantage of the opportunity these nice officers gave me, I owe them thanks for all time, and expressed it by not being a body they had to pick up in the morning ie I started running for my life). I could hear his footsteps behind me, not too long after, and I can't tell how close he got before I got to my door, because to look over my shoulder meant slowing down, and that meant getting caught. I think of that, I think of a lot of things I have experienced or witnessed, and the bathroom bit seems like such a petty concern. I've been in more danger walking a couple blocks home from the grocery than I have being in the bathroom with a man in a dress.
  3. Maybe I'd be more offended if I actually looked like a dude. As is I'd just think they're half-blind. If I appeared manly, people regularly commented on it, and these comments bothered me, I would work at changing my appearance. Clothes, hair, make-up, all of that could surely help. Wow, the man in that video was rude. She was 'dressed like a man'? Huh. I wonder if this outrage would have been present five years ago. Would he have even looked twice, do you think?
  4. That is so sad. Someone dead, people lost a family member, a cop has to live with having killed someone, all around awful. I don't expect anyone to respond with less than lethal force when in defense of their life or another's. Yeah, the police have vests. That doesn't make them invulnerable. That the first officer to get stabbed chose to respond with a taser instead of a gun is good, maybe he still thought he could take this guy down without anyone getting hurt. The slash on the other officer's face could have been a knife in his eye instead. Can't blame the guy for shooting at someone that's just cut his face. Has there been a noticeable effect on the community?
  5. Not very? To this day I still have feelings for some of my former partners. I still care about what happens to them, & in some cases would lend them a hand if they needed it. For all that, I don't see the point in dwelling on what was. Whether a relationship is serious or frivolous, when it's over it's over. Life is short. If you see something or someone that interests you, why wait?
