    I decided to listen to Brittany Spears’ court thingy and now I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s so sad what happened to her and is still happening to her. I don’t care what mental disorder she may have, if she’s able to work, she’s able to take care of herself. If she wants to spiral and spend her fortune she should be able to do so. It’s just so insane and invasive the regimen they have her on.
    Idk, I know a lot of people don’t care but I just can’t understand how some things are legal.

    It's so messed up. Not only that, but all the big record executives that exploited a child. I think they also controlled her life. She's like, almost never had any autonomy, ever and being forced to perform in a perpetual crazy circus. Totally understandable that she had a few breakdowns.

    Since my fitness center... a laughable description for a miniscule area with nothing but free weights & a couple of exercise bikes... is not to my liking, my workouts will now be indoors only... indoors, meaning my apt. YTube exercise vids are now my daily companion.

    I could walk with a baseball bat... but, I'd prefer to keep safe in a more enclosed area. I've had to live like this in dicey 'hoods for decades... this is not my first such incident. What did I do in a past life to incite the wrath of the violence gods...


    Fully charged taser. That's all I'm sayin'...

    But, jesus, that's scary.

    I’d figure you’d have constitutional carry. Sorta surprised it died in committee.

    I had to look that up. Tasers aren't all that deadly so... 😀

    I carry a flashlight/taser with me when I go walking at night in the dark but the only time it got used was when I was showing someone how it worked and accidentally zapped my hand. It was numb AND tingly at the same time!

    My attempts to cover up and ignore the things I don’t want to face are backfiring. 🤷‍♀️

    YA THINK ???????

    That’s what I was saying after I watched it. Like, I would be breaking down too if it were me. Regular celebrity is a kind of trauma anyway but hers is next level. It’s like those psych ward horror stories with mega celebrity thrown in. 🤯

    That crash caused by the spectator at the TDF. Imagine having all that training, suffering and discipline go down the drain because someone didn't have enough situational awareness. It means so much to those guys in the race, Would be so disappointing. Crazy stuff.

    That fan, well if you wanted your 15 minutes of fame you definitely got more than you bargained for...ah!

    She fled? Jeeezuuus…it was an accident and probably freaking out, I get that…but to just runaway and not take any responsibility is such a dog move.

    But, jesus, that's scary.

    I do have a stungun, but... someone needs to be within arm's length. I always feel my best chance for protection is speed... running like a frightened deer away from danger. If someone's hands are on me, it's going to be a lot harder for me to stave off fright to act fast.

    And, I realize my nerves are on edge right now, but, jeez, I wish men would stop approaching women from behind. When we can't see you, it's a threat & you scare the bloody life out of us, when silence is suddenly cut by a big booming voice. Yesterday, a market employee walked up behind me & loudly say, "How ya' doin'!" from 6" away. Why? Firstly, don't yell & second, move back a foot or 2 okay, sir.

    After my pearl clutching gasp, I was putting groceries in the trunk & another employee in stealth mode came up behind me to loudly say, "How's it goin'?"... mother of Valhalla... I almost fell into the truck & my heart was pounding for an hour.

    It's overrated.

    You're intelligent, witty, healthy, educated, fit and beautiful. (a complete 'catch')

    Money comes and money goes; what you have.... no price tag can ever be attached.

    N'aww 🥰 you are such a good egg! I appreciate you motor man, you always make me smile.

    Relocation in 5-mos. I've lived in 11 US states.

    Change is good. But, where to go at this stage of life?

    Would be nice to settle someplace for good... my restless, gypsy genes always seem to toss themselves in the way.

    Sooo... toss a dart at a map?
