In a post elsewhere, I mentioned how the survivors feel guilty - they should not! but women have always taken the blame for everything ever since Adam No one notices Jahweh did not take excuses We should never forget boys & men suffer from sexual assault. It's also hard for them to come forward.

Does it seem to you that the women get the blame for what happened to them?

Love the father putting his arms around his family as they listen and the guy bouncing his baby in time with the music!
Happy Spring (@springhappy.bsky.social)
It struck me as I watched the Epstein survivors speak how women always get the blame. Ever since Adam! The 'fall of man' has always been used to blame the nearest woman for what goes wrong. Jahweh didn't buy Adam's excuse. If he had, Adam would've stayed in the garden. He was thrown out, too.

We should all be ANGRY. The rapists, those who participated & enabled should be ashamed. They are guilty. The people who support and vote for these people should be ashamed. That's the problem. These people have no shame because they're arrogant & have never followed a moral code. This must stop
Happy Spring (@springhappy.bsky.social)
I understand more about the Epstein/Maxwell mess after hearing from survivors & lawyers. The women were impressive. I was sorry AND ANGRY to see how much they were hurt. The assault I suffered was so MILD by comparison, I hesitate to mention it. I was hurt & ashamed altho anger was upmost

Oh and I wondered about the old mirrors I got from my grandmother's beauty shop. Maybe there's something in them. I have them stashed away, so if the shades of those gossiping customers of hers r there, I won't see or hear them! That was always so boring.

All those clocks had to be awesome! No interesting spirit inhabited any antique we inherited or bought or if it did, it hasn't made its presence known yet Hubby collects pattern glass which does not seem to contain anything creepy. Maybe spirits can't get a grip. Our house is also jammed with stuff.

Wonderful! My mom loved animals. When in Italy, she found a ceramic tile with a picture of St. Francis of Assisi & a prayer in Italian for all God's creatures. She bought the tile, although Baptist and she didn't read Italian. It was a treasured possession. It's now a treasured possession of mine.

I may have seen a flash. I might not be sensitive enough. I'll keep watching the vid, tho. Darling little gingerbread house! I DID see my cat, Rachel. She was a little bitty grey and white cat with a bob tail. She wasn't supposed to jump on the kitchen counter, but....that's how she came back.

That's wonderful! I had a Baptist upbringing - lots of people told me the animals had no souls, but I had to disagree...I'm not religious BTW. Everything is made of the same material, after all. Cats have personality, memory, feelings. That's enough for me.

Nice to know someone else had this experience. I was sure I saw my Rachel jump up on the counter beside me after she passed. She was CEO of the house & wanted me 2 know she was still watching over us & supported Ross as replacement. I never told anyone. People think I'm nuts. Don't want 2 add crazy

Matilda went from house to house searching for a home. My neighbor wanted her, but was allergic. We didn't no about the kittens & took her to b spayed, but the dr. couldn't operate since she might b nursing. Sure enough, the next morning, she came with a kitten in her mouth.

U r right. I remember when Khrushchev said they'd bury us. He was probably threatening nuclear war. My city was supposed 2 b on Russia's hit list. I still treasure the dog tag I had 2 wear as a kid. Don't know why. It wouldn't survive a direct hit. He also said they'd destroy us from the inside...

He smiled at you. That's a good thing. I wouldn't be all that fond of red eyes. Maybe he had a good reason, poor, dear ghost. We used to live in a beautiful 100+ yr old farmhouse. I miss it so! It lacked ghosts, which was disappointing. There were lots of yellow eyes. They were only the cats.

sounds fascinating... Encyclopedia Britannica and War & Peace sold well and still do...but I get how life's problems interfere with art etc. I've had some. No stalker other stuff. about a ghost...when I was a kid, I decided I found one in the crumbling tower of a medieval chateau in France! Fun!

Wow, that's brilliant. If I ever suspect Hubby, I'll do the same thing. Not that I expect to, we've been married a while. Playing around is one of two things I won't tolerate. The other is abuse. Honestly, you should piece together these poetic glimpses into Life and publish.
