Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Does anyone else find being a grateful happy friend of a dead person rather odd?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 This rabbit talk reminds me of a joke I will revise for list relevance. A feethinking bear found himself deep in the 12 step forest. Suddenly he was stricken with the urge to go to the bathroom. Checking around he went behind a BB tree. As he was finishing up to his surprise he noticed a step rabbit looking at him from arms reach. He looked back at the step rabbit and asked, excuse me Mr. Step Rabbit but do you ever have a problem with shit sticking to your fur. The step rabbit replied why of course not my steps keep me free of all shit. So the bear grabbed the rabbit and wiped his ass. > , > > And if the rabbit trick doesn't work, he can always play pocket pool with > himself. > > Jan > > Re: Judith's challenge > > > >I just crack up everytime I see the reference to clever trousers.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 Makes sense... but all the references to feminist thinking should be a clue... oh well..

Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 Hi Apple I have just started reading Judith Herman's " Recovery from Trauma " . In it she points out how ppl who have been repeatedly traumatized often develop behaviors that seem to allow further traumatization and may appear incomprehensible to others. The tendency to interpet domestic violence in the way you describe is I think an example of this. Pete >From: AppleDTP@... >I have gotten a few >letters pointing out that the women I describe must be dumb as rocks, >the ones I refer to in the stories who see their part in rape & abuse >as being out at night/drunk, or not fulfilling some domestic obligation >properly. I dont' think that's as uncommon as these people say. I >think it's actually very common for someone stuck in the circle of >domestic violence or an abusive relationship to think that somehow, >some action on their part triggered the whole thing. What do you think >folks? >Apple > >(example from angry letter:) > The husband slugs his wife because she burned dinner, >and THAT is HER part??????
