  • Travel to 1970

    It was scary watching the vice presidential debate part where they tried to blame illegal aliens for housing prices. It reminds me of this joke on housing prices. No candidate blamed greedy house realtors, construction, or greedy land sales policies welcome to capitalism. Instead they victim-blame buyers for being bad at budgeting for ever buying fancy brunch or lunch.

  • Insomnia Start

    My medical grade insomnia started when I was raped and beaten at the military base called Fort Lee in Virginia in 2005 by military men. Why did they try to deploy me when I had not completed basic training or AIT they wanted to isolate a victim? Yes. Years worth of going to doctors did nothing to help the rape trauma, and doctors tried to dump horrible medication into my body with disgusting side effects which I would not need if I was not raped and beaten on a military base. It is a big part of why I hate Virginia with all my soul. It is also why I never date co-workers at all in my life now. Today a co-worker asked me. “What is wrong?” I wanted to say. “I have horrible nightmares as a rape victim and my family is forcing me to live in Virginia where it happened, and this is not making it any better.” What I said was. “I could not sleep great last night.” Another irony is my family have forced me to leave all my Texas and Louisiana friends behind to live in the area of Virginia where I was raped and beaten, and would be constantly reminded of being raped and beaten. Know that if a co-worker does not want to talk about her health problems at work she is not legally obligated to talk about them. Instead try harder to avoid situation where politicians allow rapists to flourish as Biden needed to change the laws on reporting rape in the military, and new politicians are threatening to roll back these protections in future years. Extremely relevant in an election year.

    Also note they did not change the rules because of one or two people. They changed the rules because the complaints were really common- place.

  • Sisters of Mercy Show At Baltimore Sound Stage

    Sisters of Mercy Show At Baltimore Sound Stage

    By Andrea Menzies

    My top 20 photos of the Sisters of Mercy show at Baltimore Sound Stage. The sound quality and light show was AMAZING!!! It is a band I have loved since I was a kid. Yet I had to leave early because the only parking I could find was in a two hour loading zone. Every other space cost $40 for ONE parking space which I could not do at all. If I had known parking was that wild I would have taken a Greyhound bus in from out of town. The Greyhound station was only 1 mile away from the venue, and a round trip ticket is cheaper than Baltimore parking.
