If a customer pulled my hair I'd call the police for an assault. And if my employer gave me shit or fired me, I'd sue. Nobody has the right to assault you ever.

Telling people what to think isn't acceptable. You can think and say anything you want in this country. You can tromp on the flag, parade down the street wearing KKK clothes as long as you have a permit, and scream epithets at women going into an abortion clinic. You can shut down downtown Chicago because police are killing people. It's your right to think any ole way you want and to express it in a lawful manner. So there.

I used to be a head turner. I used to literally stop traffic. I gained 30 pounds on purpose so I would not be bothered as much. I am a very private/introverted person, and got tired of men coming up to me, asking for my number, email, etc. I even had a few very scary experiences where men followed me. Three men followed me in a shopping mall calling out and whistling. I was practically in tears. I also had men follow me in my car as I drove home from work. It was dark, late, and I drove to a police station because I didint want to drive home and show them where I live.

I've had a concealed carry permit for years. I carry about half the time, maybe a little more. Most people in my life don't even know that I do. Things would have to get really, really bad for me to actually draw my weapon. The first thing the instructor said was "If you can get out of a situation without pulling your gun, do it. The amount of time and money you'll lose on lawyers, even when you're in the right, is unbelievable." It's a big responsibility. Not everyone can handle it, or even wants to, and I respect that. But getting rid of guns is not the answer. Should the laws be better? Absolutely! But I believe that if one law passes, the government will take that as the impetus to make more and more and more laws restricting gun ownership until nobody has them but the police. I'm a free person - I take responsibility for my own safety, and not just by carrying a gun. Is reform a good thing? Yes. But I absolutely positively 100% do not trust the government to do it the right way.

I tried to not let my boys' dad not see them, I actually withheld them from him and the jerk called the police on me! The cops told me if I didn't follow the parenting plan and let him have them during his time, that they'd have to arrest me for parental inference. The judge who saw our case in court? She didn't care about their safety and well being at all, instead she let him have them without supervision and saw no problems with his actions because I had no proof and because nobody from CPS investigated him. The CPS here is a joke, nothing is done until it's too late.

Is anyone here married to or dating a police officer?

I agree about people making their own choices. My friend has 2 sons. One is in college, an honor student, saved up and bought a car and is going to be a police officer. The other one married a horrid, very snobby woman, but he stays with her anyway. He can't keep a job, but his horrid wife comes from a millionaire family so her parents always help them out so he dosent have to worry about a job. The even crazier part is that her parents are the nicest people. I think they love my friends son because he keeps their daughter out of their hair.

Really pissed now! I posted a couple months ago about how I was walking my dog when the three dogs across the street came tearing across the street, attacking my dog. I did file an incident report with police. Now they're coming onto my property. Came around back last week, causing my dog to go right through the screen door, chasing them back to their house, and almost getting hit by a car in the process. Every night now - late! - they come to the front of the house, stand under the windows and yap their heads off, sending my dog into a frenzy. Things in my house are starting to get damaged from my dog clawing to get to them. I'm new in the neighborhood and don't want bad blood w/ the neighbors, but dammit!

Question for the former escort: Did you ever get into any scary situations like a guy became violent, wanted to rob you, rape you or kidnap you? Did you get any diseases? Were you ever scared of getting caught by police or did you get caught? Did any of the guys want you to do fetish stuff like pee/poop play? How is you life now? What line of work are you doing now? (no judgement from me either, just have some questions; curiosity) .

When I caught ds with a weed pipe last week, he was at his friends house. I got out of the car to tell friends mom. She tried to defend her son! Her son just got arrested at school 2 weeks ago for possession. She said that she works in a hospital and her dh is a contractor. I told her I don't care where they work. My ds is not allowed at her house. We had a big discussion with ds about weed & alcohol. He cried for 2 days. Said he wouldn't do it again. Said it was the 2nd time he had done it. The other mom was going to call the police on me because she said I was harassing her. WTH? Dh made me get in car. Ds is now only allowed at gym and school. I told him I will call the police on him if he ever drinks, smokes weed, etc. I also lost my cool on him and slapped the heck outta him at his friends house. I was beyond devastated. Friends mom doesn't discipline her kid ever. Thanks for your advice.
