Friends

Maybe someday, I'll be lucky enough for the right kind of warm gun...sigh...
Today I am thankful for friends. 


They are not close friends but I would do anything for them.  I haven't had anything to give them since my ex hid the money.

I feel bad about that.  We need money to do what we do.  

My friends get together to play in the political sandbox and throw dirt in filthy bureaucrats' eyes.  

I do tell them about the stalking when they ask why I don't go to their events.  

Usually one of a variety of things happen, my stalker got to me, I dressed up nice and my ex said something that threatened me, my car isn't running, or I can't find the money for gas.  

It'll be over soon.

One of  these friends is a firearms instructor.  At the last moment, he decided to put together a class as a fundraiser.  He conducted it for free but it would cost $60 to be a part of the fundraiser.  

The organization of benefit allowed me to volunteer to greet people over the course of three days and let me partake in this class for free.  

I learned a lot.  I learned that almost everything I learned about guns as a kid was wrong.  I need more training!  How I didn't kill people when I handled my dad's loaded revolver is beyond me. 

The other day my firearms instructor friend gave me two pieces of parchment declaring that I had completed the course and qualified for my concealed carry firearms permit.  One is on white parchment and the other on goldenrod. 

I have two class certifications.  The last time I saw my ex, I presented one to him and said "I've got two certifications.  I got one for you.  I got the other one for your sister."  

He's been awfully nice to me lately.  

I'll keep one in the living room.  I'll hide the other one because I need it to present to the Sheriff.  

I owe my friend a small mint and a raving testimonial.  I need to find a way to repay him and the others for helping me to stay safe.  

I do have another friend who is a gun dealer.  He's been trying to get me a Glock since he learned about the stalking in '11.  

I didn't want a gun.  I just wanted the permit thinking the parchment will get them to leave me alone.  

Besides, I don't need a CCW permit for a rifle. 

Wow...A true friend helps you out in your time of need.  I've got to do my best to be there for them.  

I've been so stuck in my sadness that I've forgotten the bright lights in my life.  

Remember those people who bring sunshine to you on those rainy days.

Love ya, 

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Recognizing Psychological Abuse

Today I am thankful that I recognize relationship abuse.   I'm still sad. I thought Steve would be different.  For all the talk about anarchy and freedom, it simply didn't exist in our relationship.  I blamed the fact that I couldn't get my ex-husband to move on.  I blamed myself. It doesn't matter.  It is weird having my ex-husband explain to me how he took control of our relationship years ago.  Yes, he says that he knows what he did.  Yes, he said most men know the games they play.  Yes, most men do it for control. That is validating.  It's painful.  It's validating.  I know what my problems are.  I always do my best to see the best in other people.  I know that no one is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes.  My issue?  Well, I am too forgiving and I feel badly when I break up with someone for hurting me.  I couldn't take it anymore.  I couldn't.  I'm st...

Covid (Edited)

Today I am thankful for unorganized conspiracies: It makes it easier to identify them. Politicians are going to label anyone calling bullshit on the Covid lockdowns a Conspiracy Theorist.   I have a saying; " Conspiracies happen all the time; it's only a theory until it's proven."  This one is easy to prove.  It's obvious that the powers that be threw a lot of shit at a wall to see what would stick.  They're trying to inundate us with useless information and financial pressure to wear us down. That doesn't work on the indominable American spirit. ***** Let's work backwards. The CDC is now lumping flu, pneumonia and Covid19 deaths in one number.  Get this....the numbers have been declining for the past 11 weeks! https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html We are now below pandemic levels. Tell me why Governor Polis and his merry band of naked Democrat Emperors are pushing masks and pushing more lo...
