#yardsale winding down. Not much left, it is nice in the shade here in #stocktonca #calilife #angryorchard #PhotoToaster

While @slabbitch gets caught up on #GOT season 5 we are playing it like it's real. #monopoly #gotmonopoly

Does anything say #stocktonca like a primer black truck with a #mudslut decal? Probably not. #209

IMO-

Step1- Ready, aware and assessing;   

Step 2-As the attacker steps towards you with a grab or a grope, step forward and bend your knees slightly, and lower your head. 

Step 3-Thrust yourself forward and up towards his chin. Because you stepped in he will have lost mush of his power, and a using your head against his chin or chest will force him further off balance.      

Step 4-Taking a grip on his arms pull down as you drive your knee up into his groin.     

Step 5- As he doubles over raise your fist and drive your elbow straight down in between his shoulder blade, or on his lower back such as near the kidneys. 

Step 6- Grab his head and pull it down as you drive your knee upward into his face.

Step 7- swing your foot upward with your leg extended, hitting him with the ball or heel of your foot.

Step 8- If he is still close, swing your foot down and smash it onto his prone body. This might be overkill, and I would feel uncomfortable attacking someone on the ground as it can be a very strong position.

I begged my daughter to let me teach her something like this. I think my actual words were "Can I teach you and Jen how to break arms". The way they are treated in bars freaks me out. They are in their twenties, and some of the culprits are older than I am...WTF? If you want to do something like this practice over and over with a partner. It is a bit complex, but the moves use your attackers strength to a good degree, and are straightforward and natural uses of your body. Nothing fancy, just powerful and direct. They do require some strength, and some of these moves will hurt you to deliver them, so it is not ideal. The choke, one or two handed grab/grope are about the most common attacks.

This is becoming a weekly chore, #1 on my honey do list. #vegan #applepie #aroraapples #stockton #209

For sure!

Compass, point me east! #dc #vacation #virginamerica (at San Francisco International Airport)

There actually was an employment law case like this, I think it was EEOC vs. Harrah's were a female bartender was fired for refusing to wear makeup. The argument went something like this: barkeep was a natural woman (think Tahoe) and she did not wear make up as part of how she identified as a woman. The EEOC actually lost because the Court ruled that the very strict gender based guidelines were equally restrictive of men and women, sounds a lot like separate but equal though eh?

Men and women were both restricted in hairstyles, uniforms, and women were required to wear make up and men were not allowed to wear make up.

On June 28, 1969, the #Stonewall Riots began following a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, one of New York City's best-known LGBTQ clubs. Forty-seven years later, the site was declared a National Monument by Presidential Proclamation. https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315976
