Good to read that you survived the attack though I have no doubt that it left mental/emotional scars. Sad to read of the loss of your furry friend. People who don't have dogs in their family underestimate the impact.

Good to read that you survived the attack though I have no doubt that it left mental/emotional scars. Sad to read of the loss of your furry friend. People who don't have dogs in their family underestimate the impact.
This has been a bad year so far. The passing of my mother, a good friend of mine, my wife's best friend, another of her dear friends (close like a sister) losing her father and husband, our dog and two cats. All this year. If all the death would stop for a while it would be just great.
With regard to self-defense classes, looking back I taught some inappropriate ones. You can only teach what you know and teaching women to fight like the large man that I am really is a poor plan. Some women are man strong, some. Effective self-defense is a complex issue where one size does not fit all and there is no panacea, but "something" is often better than nothing since luck is also always a factor. People will carry a blade when they would not a firearm, but people bleed out slowly enough that they are still a lethal threat after they are walking dead. Nothing is perfect in our imperfect world. A horrible conversation isn't it.
Yes, but a real one. I remember finding the group Pink Pistols after the slaughter of gays in the nightclub and loved their strength and resolute determination not to be pray.
