  • Body Control

    By Andrea Menzies

    The famous Life Magazine VJ 1945 Sailor Kiss photos is a popular image of sexual assault. It was wildly protested by the #metoo movement. I had to work in another class today (4th this year) with this horrific photo on the wall. It shows a terrible image of women lacking body control in the USA being owned by a sailor, and people laughing and smiling at it. Arms at her side hating the kiss with a man she doesn’t know. Men who served their country are not owed sex. He did not know that woman, she was not returning the kiss, he is much bigger, and has her pinned. A very offensive image to see at work. Years ago when I was in the military they tried to make me take an AIT reclassification class when I had not completed basic training, or AIT. This was an illegal action before the military men started demanding sexual favors. I had to have rape survival therapy for years afterwards. Images like this cause real problems. Rapist-rapist all my tortured eyes did see, rapist-rapist all Fort Lee.

  • Night Reasons

    By Andrea Menzies

    The reason I will never go out at night again in Virginia is I was raped when I was in the Army at Fort Lee. Here is a good article from CNN verifying I am not alone in 2022. The constant character assassination by rape sympathizers afterwards daily for victims is very real. If you want to be scared forget about Freddy Kruger, and Google the phrases “Untested Rape Kits” for women. I did not suffer from depression before rape was my daily nightmare. My only hope is to go to a less military dominated area to be social. Rapist-rapist human sewage all Fort Lee, I hate them all with all my soul eternally. When you say depression I say rape, as rapist beaters Fort Lee were my fate.

    (Note: Today I got insulted by a coworker for suffering from depression. I never said to this person I was depressed meaning people are talking about me behind my back, and in addition ridiculing me for having issues forced upon me. )

  • Travel Cancelled

    By Andrea Menzies

    I had to do a temporary cancel on travel by Amtrak train and car pooling to see concerts as an Icy Death Snow Blast slammed Virginia a second week. If you can’t drive the roads or take trains well it is what it is, and you just have to deal with it. It strengthens my resolve to ride bikes more in Spring as stormy ice from excessive use of gas cars is blamed by scientists as a major cause of global warming by this good article “Why We Still Have Brutal Cold Snaps” by CNN. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/15/climate/why-extreme-cold-during-global-warming/index.html

  • No Calls

    The worst flu of the year came back. I had to battle nurses and insurance companies to get care today, and I am taking no calls as I try to heal up.

  • Phone Dead

    My phone fell out of my bag and got smashed. I will not be returning phone calls this week, but I am not ignoring people. My new replacement phone is in the mail now my number will not be changing. The timing of this sucks due to it being almost Halloween, and I have many activities to do this time of year.

  • Birthday Well Wishes

    Thanks in advance to all well wishers of a Happy Birthday on the 7th of October! Birthdays make me realize how far I am from better towns where nicer people gave me amazing parties. I am far from my REAL home in this town most obviously on my birthday.

  • Strange Mail

    The Strange Letter

    Weeks ago when I was super sick with Covid someone named Micheal tired to tell me there was something wrong with my car. I had never told them about the make and model of my car, or let them walk me to my car so how did they know anything happened with it? Creepy stalker crap this seemed to be. Then another strange thing happened with my mail. The Mercury club in Seattle, WA wanted to offer me a membership. I applied for membership YEARS ago when I was visiting my aunt Trish living in Bothell a suburb of Seattle, and they said I lived too far away. I had never given The Mercury my new address, and yet mail had been forwarded from one of my older Virginia addresses to me! How did they MAIL that crap? How is Virginia LESS far? Stalkers-stalkers all around! Proof positive people are sharing information about me behind my back, and getting it wrong.

    I am a domestic abuse survivor, and have had many ex-boyfriends many times steal money from me, punch me bloody in the face, and stomach. People on the Internet need to STOP forking information over to “friends” who say they want to “help” women in that stalker criminals say that sort of thing too ALL the TIME. The Internet is sadly a treasure trove of dangerous information and misinformation. I have been to some great night clubs, with fun nights, and had good relationships in other areas. In Virginia the clubs are nothing but con-artist abuse factories for bad men meeting new victims. This is why I go on SO MANY road trips out of state, and go FAR away to be social as often as I can hit the road by car, or Amtrak, or road bike. This is why I keep a P.O. box far from my home. An important aspect of data privacy many Internet chat boards forget to mention is do not use home addresses. Simply put don’t talk about women’s personal information behind their back you are NOT helping them, and getting it very wrong.

  • Lesson of the Week

    Lesson of the Week: it is please don’t wait until there is an emergency to let friends know that you care. People most need love when they are least lovable some days. If you ridicule someone for dramatically seeking help someone watching may not want to get help themselves later-on. Years ago people harassed the crap out of me when I went to a therapist after a bad divorce, and then people ask why don’t people go to therapy?… Duh it is the harassment thing!

  • Bad Weekend

    Every weekend I go out in Richmond, VA I am horrified and disgusted by how horrible people are on average compared to New Orleans and Austin where I lived for years. Last weekend I went out in Richmond and it was the most horrible night ever, and reminded me why I am always saving up for road trips far away. I hate Richmond, Virginia with all my soul. #Virginia Is For Nightmares

  • Travel Trouble

    I am super glad I cancelled my summer road trip plans. I was almost driving in this storm.
