As awkward as this may seem, I feel it is important I share this. I apologize that it is so long, but I typed this for my blog and wanted to share it here. This subject hit close to me and I hope by sharing this I can at least do a small part in helping.

I feel angry, confused and helpless all at once. I never thought I would experience heartache like this, and I donft know what to do about it. I feel horrible for what she and her daughter went through, no one ever deserves to go through such a thing. To think that he got only a twelve-year sentence infuriates me. Lord knows what a twice-convicted felon might do. As much as I would like to think people can change, I doubt he will, and the fact that he will be out in a decade adds just another burden for her as she will have that in her mind. I would beat that guy within an inch of his life if I ever saw him.

I wish I could be there for her; it sucks to be about 300 miles away. Seems so close, yet so far. I feel helpless that I canft be there. All I can do is offer words of encouragement, and words can only go so far. Add that to the fact that I always analyze the things I say and write to others and it leaves me stressed. Did I choose the right words, set the right tone? Itfs such a delicate, highly emotional situation and Ifm afraid my choice of words may come back to bite me.

I hope I can do more than words, but for now words will have to do. For anyone who reads this, I ask you if you are in an abusive relationship to find help anyway you can. Itfs not your fault, it never was, never will be and you deserve to be treated much, much better. Turn to your friends if possible. They might not have the answers, but they can certainly help you in the right direction. If you feel that there is no one to turn to, do know that there are many caring and kind strangers out there, despite how crazy this world may seem at times.

For those who think someone close is being abused, please try the best you can to reach out to that person and offer some support. We might not know what to do exactly, but we can offer a hand, find some intervention. I think that doing something is infinitely better than doing nothing. The pain in my heart might be strong, but it is nothing compared to what she and her daughter are going through, nothing compared to what others being abused are going through. I know we donft have all the answers, but we can help out somehow.

Seeing that orange-tanned drama queen and new speaker of the House John Boehner weeping like a kindergartner on his first day of school just makes me want to puke. :bleh:

I was really hoping Pelosi's last act as Speaker would be to crown Boehner with that Ring-The-Bell carnival-sized gavel. :twisted:

So, I'm waiting in line at the post office with 4 or 5 other people and this person goes in ahead of us up to one of the counters and says, "Can I get some change?" (No "please" ) and the guy behind the counter says to her, "You'll have to get in line." She says, 'Get in line for change!! Thanks a lot, asshole!!" and walks off.

Now I know why postal workers go nuts.

What a knob. And some fail to see the increasingly lack of consideration in today's less than civil society.

I HATE the bat shit that's on my car every morning. Damn flying foxes are feasting on the fruit of the palm trees in my neighbor's yard and crapping all over MY car.

So, I put something to auction on EBay and I get a message from some joker telling me he really likes it but he thinks I've set the opening bid too high.

I had to message him back, "If you think the opening bid is too high, don't bid on it. That's why it's called an auction." :beatyou:

Wonder what he must think of people who outbid him...
