Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Because books.

The krav example is to try and take an unsheathed tube of lipstick away from a resisting five year old. You're gonna get it on you.

That's an excellent example! A sticky lollipop works, too. All too well.

Jesse, it was. I still remember visiting her in the hospital after about a dozen surgeries.

The worst part is they never caught the thugs, and she ran into one in a store about a year later. I don't think he recognized her, but I can't remember the details.

I lost touch with her, and I've tried searching for her but she had a very common name.

Steelcut oatmeal:

I am hostage in my house. Salvation Army is coming to pick up my couch and some other furniture, and the window was "11:00-2:30". I was really hoping for closer to 11AM. Oh, well.

I promise I will not.

At least, not until they have the couch in their truck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's weird--I remember all the gun defenses, including rifle and machine gun, as clear as day, but I can't mentally walk through half the knife defenses.

Otherwise I'd prep you, msbelle.

javachik, that's a terrible story. I know it sounds trite, but those people would probably have stabbed the shit out of her if they'd had knives. It's a gamble, but people who "don't mean it" more often have guns, and people who "don't mean it" are more likely to hurt you if they end up having a knife. People who do mean it will hurt you with any damned thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

msbelle, getting arrested would not set a good example for your child.

Increase the peace, people!!
