I declare that single mothers freshly out of abusive relationships (or single fathers in the same boat), with the child on their hip, should get free rent for up to six months until they have time to start a new life for them and their child.

Hmmm, do they need a black eye or a broken limb to prove abuse?

No, I'm all for supporting and helping people getting out of abusive relationships: there is very little more difficult to go through.

I just don't see your solution as viable: after 6 months you yank them back out? Psych: shoulda got a job while you were still reeling from your abuse, dealing with your decision, and hiding from the person who, if they find you, may very well kill you and you children?

Where are "silly walks", I think I've stumbled into the complaint department.

For the record, I got out of an abusive relationship about six months ago. NCIS is investigating the case... and I should have added to the six month clause; after the six months, the case is reevaluated and an extension granted based on an individual basis. Tell you what, free rent for a few months would have helped me and my daughter out IMMENSELY.

Naval Criminal Investigative Service? I know someone who works for them down this way at a local Naval Base.

so wait, are you back with him or is this her step-daddy who's the marine? or was it not her daddy who was abusive?

None of the above. Her daddy was abusive... he's a Marine... I'm not back with him nor will I ever be. She doesn't have a step-daddy. But with her father being a Marine, was debating going along with the whole "Devil Pup" joke for Marine kids. As for being on base, the job offer I have is for a shop RIGHT off base... so I'm taking her ON base for trick or treating, since it's one of the safest areas to do so. Make sense now?

Yeah, sorta, thanks (sorry to pry but I've learned it's often better to ask rather than make assumptions) Does he still get to see her? If so, that must be tough. Would you rather be away from the base or is that where all your friends are?

Yes, Merc NCIS has been helpful, but rather quiet on the whole deal... however, the case did end up on a short stop-over on the desk of a close friend/guardian angel, so we'll see what happens.

I declare every other Saturday "howl at the moon Saturday". It is now mandatory.

How is this for the good of mankind? It's for the good of mankind because shut up.

This begins immediately. Now do it. No questions. Just do it.
