Anyone else dreaming about this sexual abuse & mean drunk stuff?

I was held down and date raped in the woods on a first date at 20. It's insane for anyone to think you would not know who raped you or who might try to (accidentally) kill you. However, I did fear for my life when my ex husband became psychotic while falling down drunk and had his hands around my neck. My daughter was about 5 yrs old then and kept kicking him till he became distracted and let go. I thought I was going to die. I can really relate to Dr. Ford on this. The next day he totally denied it happened - said he would never do anything like that. I married him because "he was one of the nicest guys I knew". I usually have very boring dreams without much drama, but last night I woke up in the middle of a bad dream - three men coming toward me and I knew I was going to die.

God this stuff brings a lot of shit up.

Collins: My office has gotten 'pretty ugly voicemails, threats' over Kavanaugh

Hello, you, unlike Dr. Ford, are probably still able to sleep in your house, but of course, it's all about you.


“My office has received some pretty ugly voicemails, threats, terrible things said to my staff,” Collins said in an interview with WVOM on Wednesday.


We've had some very abusive callers. ... We've had some very vulgar calls and sort of harassing the staff," Steve Abbot, Collins's chief of staff, told a Maine TV station at the time

Bayer's Monsanto sued by 8,000 plaintiffs on glyphosate

Bayer said the number of U.S. lawsuits brought against newly acquired Monsanto has risen to about 8,000 from 5,200 previously, after Monsanto was ordered to pay damages for not warning of alleged cancer risks of glyphosate-based weedkillers.

“The number of plaintiffs in both state and federal litigation is approximately 8,000 as of end-July. These numbers may rise or fall over time but our view is that the number is not indicative of the merits of the plaintiffs’ cases,” Chief Executive Werner Baumann told analysts in a conference call on Thursday.

Bayer shares have lost more than 10 percent since Monsanto was ordered on Aug. 10 to pay $289 million in damages in the first of possibly thousands of U.S. lawsuits over glyphosate-based weedkillers such as Roundup and Ranger Pro.
