I remember the first break-up mixtape I received from a guy in HS. It had some Boyz II Men on it, that Brian Adams song from Robin Hood and some of this:
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

OH for the love of god....
In my capacity at work I supervise people. That's what I do. I supervise, advise, provide support and train.
Even though I know it's not true I try to convince myself that nobody is really dumb, it's just that in some cases they simply lack the intuition that would assist them in figuring something out.
Today I've met my match. I swear to god if I handed this person a potato, a fork and a knife they would stare at it for a half hour...pick up the potato and mash it against the fork, burn their hand, then give up and starve to death.

Nope. Your wrong. Some people are just dumb. That's why you are there. To help them out.

I was carjacked at gunpoint today He has my work laptop, my purse, my phone, my Tom-Tom, all of my nursing supplies and my LED hula-hoop. So if I had your number, please PM it to me.
I'm surprised anyone in that neighborhood would want to jack that car. Full of hippie/liberal chick stickers and a hula-hoop. The kid who stole it will stick out like a sore thumb.

Oh my god, that's f*cking awful, Angie. My heart goes out to you, that must've been one of the most terrifying experiences of your life, if not THE most. Any idea what the chances are of the cops recovering your car and stuff?
^ I just saw your FB post and it terrified me to READ about it... you poor thing, you had to EXPERIENCE it! I'm sooo sorry to hear this! Hopefully the cops can trace your cell phone or something to recover the car quickly.
YAY THAT YOU WEREN'T HARMED! Your life is far more precious than your LED hula hoop or laptop. Try to stay calm. You're strong, resilient, and one of the sweetest souls I've ever met. You're due for some good karma. Hang in there, love!

LLL, that's terrible! I hope that things are recovered, but I'm glad that you are safe. And like karosko said, it must have been terrifying and I hope that your sense of security isnt broken or is restored soon.

That's terrible and scary. I'm so sorry for you having to go through this. I don't know how I'd react.
I'm glad your safe LLL. Now go into survival mode and keep yourself safe. Change your locks. Change your passwords. Cancel your credit cards. Get someone to stay with you tonight. And listen to your mother.

That is a horrific experience. It sounds like you were physically unhurt - and that's a blessing. Take care of yourself mentally and as someone else said - canceling cards, changing locks etc. Get friends to help and be with you and talk about it all you want.
LLL, I'm SO sorry! I know that the same could happen to me as I am going to be doing home visits, but I try not to dwell on it.
Druid pretty much covered all the bases in her reply. Surely your employer will be supportive (assuming that you were at work). Hell, I think you should ask for PTSD counseling. I know I would need it.
Hugs and love....let me know if I can do anything...even if you only need someone to yell at.
WTF!!! Damn Angie, Glad you are okay. I have nothing to say that has not been said already, except that fucker will get his! I am a very giving person, but I have no patience for this type of behavior. Sorry you had to experience this.
This is really personal, but I don't know where else to talk about. I can't post on fb cause not all my siblings know yet, and I have no real close friends around here anymore.
I found out tonight that my mother is in the hospital with a non functioning pancreas, due to very heavy drinking. As far as I knew, and the rest of my siblings, both my parents had been completely sober when it came to drinking since the 80's. The last year or two she started secretly drinking again, according to my father. I'm one of four, all girls, only one of my other sisters knows the real reason she's in the hospital, because my mom is ashamed. I only know because I'm that sisters confidant. My mother had said that she was in the hospital for breathing problems and a stomach issue, but my sister didn't believe her. She confronted my dad and he came clean to her. My sister is now taking control of the situation and becoming her medical proxy because my father, bless his heart, is not the most responsible person, and is well intentioned but has his own issues that don't make him the best person to make hardcore medical decisions for my mother. I know so very little about what's going on, and I can't even go see my mom cause she isn't allowing visitors. Her doctor said that if she drinks again, she'll die, basically. I don't even know what to think or feel right now. I'll know more tomorrow, but this came out of nowhere today.
I don't know how you feel about 12-step groups, but it sounds like Alanon is a good resource you. I encourage finding a meeting nearby and just checking it out.
I myself grew up with alcoholism in the family, I understand that it presents unique situations--whether the alcoholic in question is drinking still or sober.
Alanon/Alateen really helped me in the past because it was a place I could go to and hear from other people going through similar situations, and find unique wisdom and experience. Otherwise, I would have gone through it all alone and it would have been much harder.
If anything, just go to vent. People will listen. :-)

Thank god you weren't hurt! I'm sure whatever soulless human being who did this to you will be dealt with soon enough. I'd hope the asshole wouldn't be that stupid to come to your house after stealing your car, but PLEASE GET THOSE LOCKS CHANGED!
