Faithful Dog Refuses to Leave Graveside of Owner Who Died Six Years Ago (article)

German shepherd, Capitán, ran away from home after his owner and best friend, Manuel Guzman, died in 2006. A week later Guzman’s family, who live in Cordoba, Argentina, found the heartbroken dog grieving at the gravesite, reported Dog Heirs.

“We had never taken him to the cemetery so it is a mystery how he managed to find the place,” Veronica Guzman, Manuel’s widow, told the Sun.

Every Sunday, for the past six years, the Guzman family has gone to the cemetery to visit both Manuel and Capitán. Although the dog often leaves the cemetery to spend a short period of time with his family, he always returns to the gravesite before dark.

Is there a difference between the head trauma experienced by boxers and football players?

The real difference is the intensity of the impact.

In boxing you are hit by a single padded hand. The boxers muscles are mostly to accelerate your hand and glove up to speed and to follow through, but little is applied during the actual punch due to rebound.

Kinetic Energy = (1/2)(Mass)(Velocity2).

A strong punch is about 9m/s which is about 20mph. A hand with glove weighs less than a pound including the hand. A linebacker weighs about 250 pounds and is moving at about half that speed at impact. So even at 1/4 the KE per pound, he still delivers 62.5 times as much energy.

Add to that the difference between padded glove and movable head vs hard helmet to hard helmet locked in a neck brace and you see how football causes heads to undergo a much higher energy dump.

Basketball – not rules, but the positions, strategies, what to look for when watching?

Here are the 5 positions and descriptions in the NBA. Point Guard: Team’s best ball handler, passer, decision maker. This player must be able to effectively dribble up the court and initiate an offense when under extreme defensive ball pressure. As such, PG’s are usually the shortest players (there are plenty of exceptions, 6’9 Magic Johnson). They are quick and they must be able to see the entire floor while dribbling. They must be quick and agile and equally skilled at dribbling with either hand. Some PGs like Steve Nash (lakers) are pass-first point guards. They can get the ball to their teammates in optimal scoring positions without committing turnovers. Other PGs are score-first point guards, like Russel Westbrook (thunder). They use extreme agility and athleticism to penetrate opposing defenses and either finish at the rim or dish off to a teammate once the defense collapses on them.

Shooting Guard: Athletic, great at perimeter shooting or slashing. Think Kobe Bryant (lakers). 6’7, can dunk, can slash, can hit 3’s, explosive scorer.

Small Forward: Like a shooting guard, but slightly taller, slower, and stronger. Think Rudy Gay (raptors). I would say Lebron or Durant here, but they are physical freaks of nature. But let’s look at Durant. 6’10, can hit 3s like crazy, can post up and use size, can block shots, can get rebounds. Small forwards are usually 6’7 to 6’9 and are versatile/balanced.

Power Forward: Usually 6’8-6’11. Solid rebounder and defender. Can score from 0-18 feet from the basket. Think Chris Bosh (heat).

Center: Usually 6’10-7’7 (7’7 is max ever). Tallest player, usually worst ball handler and perimeter shooter. Asked to rebound and protect the rim from opposing guards. Offensively, they score on putbacks, post ups, and short shots.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Teams play different styles, especially in college. Some teams run and gun, that is, they grab your missed shot and push the ball up the court with a frenzy and try to get a quick shot before you can set up your defense. Other teams prefer a slower and more methodical pace where they can gradually grind you down and beat you in a war of attrition. Every possession is an intricate set of cuts, screens, and passes designed to eventually punish a defensive mistake.

The most popular offense in the NBA is a pick-n-roll. It is used nearly twice a minute in an nba game. Often, a team will run some other offense (you only have 24 seconds from the time your team gains control to attempt a shot, which must go in or touch the rim), but the defense will stop it. So with 8-10 seconds left on the clock, they will run a pick-n-roll. Their best slasher/scorer handles the ball, a big man sets a screen on his defender, and the slasher attacks. The defense must now decide very quickly how to handle it. Despite hours of practice, it is still very difficult to defend because often the two defenders (of the slasher and the big) end up switched, which causes two mismatches (a big slow guy guarding a skilled slasher and a small guard guarding a big tall guy rolling to the hoop).

Many teams isolate. That is, they clear out one side of the court, throw it to a talented 1-on-1 player and let him play a possession isolated against an inferior defender. NBA players are so good that some can score at will in this situation (Kobe, Melo, Bron, KD, CP3 on the dribble, Howard, Jefferson, Rose, etc). So to counter, the defense will send a second defender at the star (double team). So now, an offensive guy is open. So if the star is unselfish, he will swing the ball around to his teammates while the defense scrambles back into position. Sometimes they get a wide open shot, sometimes they get a blowby (defender runs at the shooter, shooter drives right by him), and sometimes the defense recovers. Then it becomes a numbers game. If the supporting cast cant score, they’re in trouble. If they’re hitting shots, then the defense really has a problem because it can’t guard the isolation and the others are hitting shots. It’s very interesting.

Some teams have no reliable bigs. Yes, they may have two 6’11 guys, but neither of them may have good post moves. Then, that team becomes a perimeter team: they shoot many 3’s. This is streaky. While some nights they may hit 15 3’s and just blow you out, other nights, those same shots don’t fall and they just die. Reliable post players are rare and valuable because they cause so many problems for the other team. Great shooters love playing with dominant big men (like Shaq) because the defense collapses on the Big and the Big can kick the ball out to the open shooters.

What’s the big deal about the Leicester City soccer team?

The reason they’re a big deal is because they are a genuine rags to riches story. In the history of the Premier League, only five teams have ever won it. Blackburn (once, many years ago), Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City & Chelsea. With the exception of Blackburn, all those clubs are considered to be ‘giants’. All those clubs have money. All those clubs have been either near the top or actually top for extended periods of time.

A few clubs have come close, such as Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle United (my team), but no cigar. It’snotoriously difficult to break into the ‘Top Four’ (so called as those places mean qualification to the top European competition). Nevermind win.

So consider Leicester City;

A team in the middle of the Country, that haven’t really done much for about 30 years. A team who barely had 100,000 fans (compared to a club like Aston Villa, who are bottom of the league, who have about 900,000). A team who have players that, for the most part, are decidedly average. A team with no money (comparatively).

A team that, at the start of the season were being tipped by most pundits, bookmakers, fans and experts to be near the bottom of the league at by the end… Are now top of the league with just 10 games to go. And currently beating my team 1-0. It’s a massive deal. I believe the Americans call this ‘an underdog story’.

What the heck is happening in Venezuala?

Socialism happened.

Basically, when Chavez came to power, he was giving free stuff around with no regards to merit because oil prices were high on the world market and they could afford it. Then, what happened is called ”Dutch disease” where an economy which relies on one industry/resource stagnates. Since means of production are in public hands, they had no incentive to innovate because oil money was enough and people were happy with housing and education.

When the US and (maybe) Canada started fracking, it made extracting oil easier, so it decreased the price of oil globally, which affected every oil-based economy, Russia and Gulf countries included. So now, Venezuelans no longer have them oil monies like they used to, but running a country still costs. So they start introducing price-controls and limits on bying stuff. Which causes shortages. So they start printing money. Which becomes increasingly worthless. Actually, they no longer have money to print money.

Plus, Maduro has gone full delusional, he blames the Western capitalist conspiracy for his people’s misery and he still bans private enterprise. He is bound to end like Ceausescu.

Norway is so rich because all Scandinavian countries are very business-friendly, even if they have strong states. What happened in Venezuela is what happened in every socialist/communist/overgrown welfare state, which is a basic economic lesson. There is no free lunch, anywhere.

How was that Buddhist Monk able to self immolate without showing/feeling pain?

I believe the nerves are very quickly destroyed. When your body goes into pain overload it goes into protective mode and can no longer process anymore. People who have suffered full body burns of explosions recount that after the initial shock they feel nothing but heat, but only feel pain later during recovery.

The brain processes the feeling of pain, if you give it too much pain info it gets back logged. So you only have to endure a certain amount.

If nuclear weapons are literally 1940s tech, why is it so difficult for nations to build them, 70+ years later?

Nations that do have nuclear weapons have a great interest in keeping other nations from acquiring them. A big part of the difficulty in making nuclear weapons is in the raw materials to do so, and the machinery to do so. Also, if you are trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and those nations with them find out about it, expect sanctions to hit your economy really quickly.

Why do the largest US cities have the poorest public school programs?

Cities in the US have the deepest, most concentrated poverty in the country. Poverty is the simple answer to your question, as there is a stronger relationship between poverty rates and educational success than there is between school funding and school quality.

Everything from pre-natal nutrition to the frequency to which children are read are worse in poor areas. Poor parents have less ability to be heavily involved in their kids’ schools, which is also correlated to school and student success. So urban schools are sailing against a huge tide of under-educated kids who enter the system already well behind their suburban or wealthier peers.

Moreover, once in the system, there is a lot of evidence that the poorer a child’s home, the more learning they lose each summer. This effect is known as Summer Learning Loss .

Ultimately, all the factors that hinder poor students accumulate to devastating effect. Urban schools have been unable to stem these effects.

So yes, many urban districts have high per-pupil spending (relative to suburban and rural districts) but the effects of poverty in hindering educational achievement overwhelm the modestly higher funding rates.

How do children have so much energy compared to teenagers and adults?

Everything is new and exciting. Fast metabolism, low body weight , regular naps. I have read they can digest unlimited sugar. I would argue that they don’t have alot of energy they are just horrible at managing their energy and they don’t think ahead. Brain weights reward over consequence so they will push themselves to delerium and irritability

Why do pro baseball players require so much more minor league time and levels compared to other major sports?

Well one thing is the way the game is played. With football, it is such a physical sport that you dont have time really develop guys because of the beatings those guys take week in and week out. Running backs typically fall apart when they hit the 30 year old mark. The only positions where you can be successful for a long time are qbs and kickers because they do not typically take a beating. College is basically the minors for football. You dont have the body or time to go from college to the minors to develop because one hit in football and your career is done. With baseball you can see guys playing well into their 40’s so they have time to develop their game before going pro.

In basketball, athleticism goes a very long way. There is only so much you can learn after college ball in the pros that you haven’t already learned. Big man can learn post moves yeah but they typically can contribute right away with rebounds, put backs and easy dunks. Guards are pretty much who they are going to be when they come out of college. They are good shooters who only get better with time, passers and those you get the whole team involved really happens with playing with the actual team you will be on and not a D-league team. Most basketball players fit a typical mold of a player. And also with their bench being as small as it is, usually the people in front of the incoming player is not going to be as good as the college player.

Now with baseball, it is more of a finesse game. Sure athleticism and raw talent do go a long way but fine tuning of your swing, or your pitching mechanics is what makes you great but it also takes time and patience. Hell the best player ever Babe Ruth wasnt a shining example of athleticism. It takes time to turn the raw talent into good baseball mechanics and it easier to take those guys in early and teach them how the coaches want them to be taughtand not some highschool or summer league coach who probably is giving them bad advice. It’s really hard to change a good swing that gave you good success in high school or even college into a great swing that can compete in the pros, especially when they’ve probably had that same swing their entire playing career and muscle memory is a hard thing to change. Also the season is REALLY LONG. Looking at pitchers alone, a 5 man rotation will probably have a lot of changes through out the year from injuries, guys not doing so well, weird scheduling that makes them call up guys for a game or two. That’s starting pitching alone. Now take into account most teams will have a bullpen of 7 or 8 guys that only go out between 1 to 5 times a week and you have a lot of potential for injuries. Also, guys just lose their spots to better players in the minors. Now take into account a 25 man roster over the course of 162 games and you can see why teams need minor league teams. Also, like i said before the lingevity of a baseball career is what keeps younger players in the system longer. You may have a good 20 year old prospect but the position he plays is taken by your all star caliber player. Its not like in basketball or football where you can sub him in and sub back the other starter. Once a starter in baseball is subbed out he’s done for that game.

Why are ice hockey players allowed to beat the crap out of each other?

It helps to remember that fights in hockey are 99% consensual. If you don’t want to fight you turn your back and that’s it. There are players that fight and players that don’t, and it’s not really a machismo/honor thing that you MUST fight. No one thinks less of you for not being a fighter.

If you jump someone who is NOT looking for a fight you are usually going to get tossed from the game and probably suspended for a few games to boot. It’s not OK to blind-side someone who is not likewise spoiling for a fight and generally speaking that is frowned upon.

So the minor penalties and general lack of punishment is only in the case of two people who have collaboratively decided to go at it, which is true for almost every fight you see. They are pre-arranged (often at the face-off) and mutually agreed. At that point, two consenting adults doing what they want, basically, and the refs leave it alone until someone is at risk of getting seriously hurt — usually once someone goes down and it’s no longer a standing fight, or if other people are getting involved, or if one person is effectively incapacitated, etc.

To some degree hockey is a self-regulated game. Refs are there for line calls, not necessarily behavior control. 10 people flying around a small ice surface at 40km/h with wooden sticks can REALLY hurt each other while the ref is looking the other way if they want to.

To avoid this, fighting is used as a pressure relief… all the pent up aggression you feel for the wrongs and slights done to your team goes into cheering for your guy in the fight. Afterward everyone chills out. This is generally true even if the two guys fighting aren’t the actual guys you were mad at. But the thing is, everyone on your team is going to be mad at someone different for some random thing that happened, so it’s not practical to expect everyone will “pay” individually.

This mostly works because most players aren’t assholes. If they do something to earn your ire it was probably by accident or a “one time” thing. It’s unlikely you’ll remember it for more than 5 minutes and unlikely that guy is going to specifically tick you off again. So the fight serves to release the cumulative pressure of all those little things, not necessarily any specific incident.

Where this fails is if there is just that one total dick on a team that is constantly cheap-shotting people or otherwise behaving in a douchey way not consistent with the overall tone of the game. Especially if that person keeps doing it even after a fight or two. At some point the other team is going to remember his number and a “generic fight” won’t fix the issue. That guy now has a target painted on his back and at some point — maybe not even that game but in a future game — someone is going to risk getting tossed from the game/suspended to teach that specific player a lesson.

Though usually half of that guy’s own team are just as happy to watch him get creamed because, honestly, he IS a dick. We’d never say it out loud of course, team solidarity, rah rah rah… but at some point people get what they deserve and everyone on both sides knows it.

1. I had an undiagnosed mental disorder and didn’t understand how to handle emotions appropriately.

2. I found out that my ex was a registered sex offender (the victim was a young child), on probation, considered at high risk to reoffend, and had several court mandated restrictions and requirements. His dad and stepmother had helped him hide it from me for close to 3 years.

I dumped him immediately and went no contact, but a friend of mine started dating him. She helped care for her sister’s child, who was the same age and gender as my ex’s victim. I told her and she confronted him. He denied it and said that I was a crazy jealous bitch who couldn’t handle being dumped. She accused me of slandering him and trying to ruin his life. This was before the Internet, so I showed her the court records I had copies of. She dumped him and outed him publicly.

He then went on a campaign to trash me to anyone who would listen to his rants. I was crazy, a whore, cheated on him, had stds, stole from him, physically assaulted him, turned tricks to support a drug habit, you name it, I did it.

I’m just glad this happened in the early 90s or he’d have put it all online and it’d have been a lot harder to put behind me.

I’m just glad this happened in the early 90s or he’d have put it all online and it’d have been a lot harder to put behind me.

4. I was called the crazy ex-girlfriend. We dated for five years so we had many friends in common. I found out he was cheating on me through sexts on his mac he left open while he was in the shower. I freaked out and I threw his stuff out of MY apartment (he was living there ‘temporarily’ until he could find a job). I wanted to be alone to figure my life out so I turned off my phone so he couldn’t contact me and took off work for a couple days.

After mentally recuperating, I turn on my phone to some mutual friends calling me a bitch and I’m blocking you! etc. I find out that he had told them I threw him out of OUR apartment because he was talking to his sister and I thought he was cheating. He said I made him homeless. They believed him because I never responded to the accusations because my phone was off! So now they think I’m super jealous and I was crazy because I made him ‘homeless’ (his parents live 45 min away, he started living with them).

Luckily some people believed me, but for the most part, a lot of those mutual friends took his side. This happened six months ago and I still am getting flak for it. Too bad I never took screenshots of the sexts

5. Met this guy over the Internet. We met, slept together a few times. Told me about an ex of his who was so unhygienic that she would not use anything on the first full day of her period, and barely changed her tampons. HE told ME that she has HPV. I went and got tested, gyno said I had four abnormal cells. I told the guy.

He flipped it on me, said I must’ve been the one to give it to her (even though she had full HPV), and broke things off with me. Then called me a crazy bitch when I called to scream at him for being such an asshole.

He married her. Ick.

6. We got engaged and decided to buy a house. I put up the whole down payment, he had to pay off some debt. The mortgage was to come out of a joint account I set up but he never went to the bank to sign adding his name, so it was just me. He promised to give me half the mortgage payment every two weeks. He didn’t. I was so stressed for money and when I brought it up he would get mad, explain how he pays for other things (bills split 70/30 me paying more). He would constantly bring up how I put fifteen pounds on how I wasn’t as fun as I used to be. I was constantly stressed with money, so our sex life dropped. He was a supposed handy man, and we undertook a bathroom reno. I was the one who smashed the tile, cut and laid the tile, and fixed the drywall after watching YouTube videos while he sat on the couch drinking +15 beers a day.

He made 15g more than I did a year. He had only given me 300 dollars for the mortgage we were supposed to split. He covered our monthly bills, which were 300 a month, while I paid 2g for the mortgage and I covered our grocery bill. I’m 5’3″ and 110lbs while he was 6’4″ and 220lbs. After two years (I know…) I was up late at night doing our taxes and his phone buzzed. I checked it because I thought maybe it was a buddy looking for a ride after drinking and saw it was a girl asking him if he wanted to meet up sometime. There was no previous conversation with them but I saw multiple long phone calls with her while at work.

I snapped. I had done so much and lost so much for him to start talking other girls?? I carried him financially and stood by him as he destroyed relationships with family members and friends where he was wrong.

I kicked him out. I calmly packed his stuff, woke him up and told him to leave. He told everyone I had gained weight, I was the worst sex ever, I was crazy and always checking his phone, and used him for his money. I was devastated. On top of this, the day we broke up he slept with another girl which just crushed me. I sent way more angry texts than I am proud of and way too many phone calls. I cringe when I think about it.

But I’m happy to say 6 months later, all mutual friends have ditched him and even just his friends, my acquaintances, have abandoned him. I also lost those fifteen pounds, still have a house while he lives with his parents, and got a huge promotion so I make twice as much as him. I’m a lot happier but there was a crazy, rough few months there. Sometimes you get pushed to the edge?

7. I had a terrible birthday that year. My moms had a positive biopsy, the cancer had spread, and at that it looked super high risk. There was drama at work, where I had to perform layoffs on some long term employees. I texted him about it. He texted me back to make sure I was going to be home that night, and that he was then at my apartment. I thought maybe he was going to surprise me with dinner or something.

I come home and he had been watching my tv (his cable was off) and left fast food wrappers all over my couch. I was miserable and planned to take a bath and get drunk. Next thing you know, his son is at the door. My ex had dropped him off, expecting me to babysit overnight while he went to Hooters with friends. He refused to answer his phone. When he did, he said he didn’t see the big deal, as I said I would be home.

His version? I broke up with him because he didn’t get me a birthday present, and I was too materialistic.

8. I was meeting his friends for the first time. We all went out and then came back to his house for drinks. I’m talking to his friends getting to know them and be social. He’s upstairs and talking to another friend. Girl walks in and goes up stairs I think nothing of it until his friend comes down and I’m being directed elsewhere.

I realize they’re trying to distract me and of course since I’d been drinking everything was a lot bigger of a deal. I throw a fit and go and knock at the LOCKED door and might’ve start screaming because what else was I supposed to do when he guy your seeing is in a locked room with a pretty girl? I’m humiliated, can’t be talked down and am alone cause they’re all his friends. Screaming, crying and the like.

So that’s how I became the crazy one.

9. Years ago, I met a guy. It was an instant attraction (for me) and for a time, him too. Things were pretty intense and then for some inexplicable reason he faded on me.

This was all over the course of three years.

It literally drove me crazy when he faded on me. I couldn’t understand why. I was so invested emotionally, just being near him made my body react. Everything just felt right when I was around him.

So when it turned out he wasn’t feeling the same, I couldn’t understand it.

I was hurt, so, so hurt, and angry and not knowing why sent me into a really weird headspace. I became obsessed.

I never blew up his phone or anything like that. Instead, I’d try to time things and be places I knew he’d be.

When I heard from a mutual friend about an ex gf of his, I got really jealous and paranoid. Was he seeing her again? WHy? Why her not me? What was wrong with me?

So I became obsessed with her too and this is where things got weird.

I began doing drive bys on both their houses. If I saw his car at her house I’d drive around and around until he’d leave.

I’d check to see when he was last logged on to facebook (seriously, that last online timestamp feature is a full stalker tool), I’d try to work out if they were having sex by the amount of times he logged on.

Before long though, instead of driving by, I began wearing a disguise and walking by her house. I never went to his, just hers when he was there.

The pain I’d feel in my chest when I saw his car there was unbearable. I HAD to know what they were doing. Why her not me?

I escalated to crawling along in bushes outside her house in my ridiculous disguise to try and hear what they were talking about.

I heard them having sex a few times. It was sick and creepy and I really fucking hate that I know any of that.

My behaviour got even worse and I did a few other things I won’t write here.

Eventually, I began lurking around outside his house. Long story short, he came right out and confronted me one night, while in “disguise”. He said my name, but instead of seeming angry or weirded out, he just laughed.

I stopped all my silly antics after that, but fuck, why did I do it? I don’t know myself. The worst part was that during all these lonely sad nights I spent doing this, I knew it was crazy and weird. But I still did it.

During the time I was in treatment for suicide attempts and BPD but I still carried on like a weirdo. I never told my therapists about him or her or what I was doing.

I wish I had the excuse that I was super crazy and was hearing voices or blacking out, but I made a choice. I hated doing it so much, but I still did and I’m a seemingly normal, well educated person.

It’s been a few years now, and thinking about it now… it’s like it was someone else. Why did I do that? Will I do it again? Why did I get weird about him and no one else?

I don’t know…

10. I must be the crazy ex-wife. Every one of my ex-husband’s exes were “crazy bitches” so I’m probably no exception.

My ex-husband, Jon, was a complete asshat. Is a complete asshat. He was controlling, terrifying, and abusive, both emotionally, verbally, and physically. When I was pregnant with our son, he yelled at me over a fucking mistake he made at work; I was panicking so badly I ended up in the hospital with false contractions.

The first time he hit me was three days after our honeymoon. I spent too much money on groceries.

It went on like that for the next year. He threatened to kill me, kill himself, kill his son (my stepson), kill our son, hurt our animals, etc. I weighed 78 lbs (while being 4 foot 10 inches in height) when I left him in December 2014.

When he hit me on our first anniversary (because I had asked him to maybe, you know, not invite his friends over to smoke meth on our anniversary), I told him if he did it again, I was going to leave.

He broke three of my ribs on December 10th, 2014, by pushing me over into the coffee table; he wanted my phone, and I didn’t want him to have it. He then proceeded to ransack the house, and steal my medication (antibiotics and painkillers from a root canal), and took my phone away before going to work.

I sold my wedding ring at the pawn shop; I was hoping to stick it out for another week, just so I could go to Key West, FL with my grandmother and have one fucking week where I wouldn’t have to be a wife, a mom, or a fucking victim. The money I got from my ring I gave to him; his logic had been “I bought the phone to give to you as a present, so it’s mine and you have no right to privacy”. So I paid him. “It’s my phone, now, and you can’t take it away” is what I said (I think?)

Three days later, I’m working at my dad’s house with my son (who wasn’t even 18 months old yet), so I could make sure there would be groceries for the family while I was gone. It was Jon’s day off, and he spent it snorting morphine, and nodding off. He called me.

“Why are you never home on my days off your fucking cunt?”

My reply:

“I really don’t feel like being around you.”

His reply:

“Good, don’t come back.”

Me:

“Okay.”

Hung up, got a hotel room, got an order of protection, filed for divorce, skipped going to Key West. Thankfully, my son was with ME, and I had snuck out two giant bags of clothes and stuff to my mom’s house a few weeks prior.

I never cheated on him, despite his constant accusations. The fucking asshole spent more money on a lawyer to try and keep my son away from me than he did on his children’s healthcare.

He stalked me for almost a year. He threatened to kill my current boyfriend. He’s doing everything he can to take my son away from me.

Fuck you Jon.

11. In the eyes of his family, im a crazy girl who caused him to lose his job with a prominent university in our state by filing a restraining order against him. Then after the restraining order was dismissed i further ruined his life by accusing him of/him being prosecuted for domestic violence, and it causing him to lose custody of his son.

In reality, he threatened to murder me and my family after i broke up with him the first time, causing me to file the restraining order. Being young and dumb, i attempted to rekindle the relationship after the restraining order was dismissed. After a couple of months, he hacked into my facebook account and posted naked photos of me, then beat the shit out of me when i confronted him about it, which is why he got domestic violence charges. Aaand he lost his son because he likes to smoke pot and blow it in his face and let him play with his bong.

Not crazy, just stupid.

12. He began stealing alcohol from our roommate (we were underage and couldn’t buy it). He’d get trashed by himself and I’d have to help him to bed. Once he reached 21, he’d just get drunk and not come home. He moved onto other things, like smoking cigarettes and weed, then onto cocaine and adderall. I’m not against experimenting, but I was terrified because I cared about him and he took everything to extremes. He told me I wasn’t fun. I didn’t know how to party. He said my job wasn’t stressful and that he needed these things. Whenever he was too tired to go out, he’d tell his friends and family that I said he couldn’t go.

I figured this was a phase, and I tried to ignore it but I’d always end up venting my frustration. I was heavily invested in college and getting a job I liked, whereas he dropped out and essentially scammed people for a living. I was so angry that he didn’t care about building a good career and getting an education. I drifted away from him because we had nothing in common. I tried to break up with him so many times and he’d threaten to kill himself and swore he’d stop drinking/doing cocaine/get a job, etc. It’s a long story but I haven’t talked to him in two years and his family firmly believes I’m fucking insane and that he’s a victim who’s still going through a youthful phase (he’s 27 now).

13. When my mom died, I acted out. Looking back, I see I created havoc in all sorts of personal relationships during those first 2 – 3 years after her death. I was selfish, demanding, thoughtless and I hurt people. Looking back, I see this. I’m not proud.

This was years ago.

But I offer this to you all. Check into “crazy chicks” family life. See if there are major changes. A death of a mom to a female, well, it will leave her unbalanced if she is not in a secure relationship /safe place.

14. I have Aspergers Syndrome that went ignored until I was eighteen. I didn’t know what to do with my emotions, especially as he was emotionally/mentally abusive and that left me completely bewildered – so I kind of just went mental.

Storytelling has been a cherished art form for thousands of years. When done right, it can win an entire group over and have a girl hanging onto your every word. Here are some of the positive effects:

• Make her smile or laugh so she feels comfortable around you.
• Create attraction by showing her interesting qualities or values about yourself.
• Connect with her on a personal level and cut through small talk.
• Encourage her to open up to you.

A story is about the atmosphere you create. Really, you can talk about anything — your favorite professor, trying a new food, or a strange encounter with a taxi driver. It doesn’t have to be over the top or dishonest to make an impression.

Lead with a hook

You may have a cool story, but you need to segue into it gracefully. You should connect where you are, what you’re doing, or what she just said to the scene you’re about to set.

Simply ask a thought-provoking question, relate back to her, state an interesting fact, or recount something that just happened.

• “Do you believe in ghosts? I didn’t until last week at my friend’s house in Salem…”
• “What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten? This one time, my brother and I…”
• “That’s awesome, I’m a travel junkie as well. I actually just got back from Egypt…”
• “Oh, you paint? I just read that Bob Ross was actually a drill sergeant before he started his TV show. Crazy, huh?”
• “I had the most random train ride here…”

Most importantly, jump right into the action. If you’re telling her about the wild trip to Tijuana, begin there. Don’t talk about deciding to leave, asking your friends to come along, or other minutia unless it’s critical information.

Keep it short and simple

When first meeting her, limit your story to no more than a couple of minutes. You’ll want to intrigue her but also give her time to share herself with you. If you have more to say, save it for later in the interaction after you’ve gotten to know each other better.

Eliminate the filler words

“Like”, “Um”, and “You know” are the death of a good story. Most people don’t realize how often they say them in conversation. They distract your listener and clutter your overall message.

Record yourself telling a story and notice any extra words that could be removed. Try to run through it again until you’ve got nothing but substance.

Express yourself passionately

Gesture with your hands to convey emotion rather than keep them shoved in your pockets. This makes it easier to touch her as well.

No girl is going to be engaged if you sound like Ben Stein. Monotone is boring and puts people to sleep. Vary the tone and loudness of your voice for emphasis. Change the pacing of your words to set the mood and add dramatic effect.

Paint a picture with emotions and imagery

When guys tell stories they tend to speak logically and sound like a textbook. This may get the specifics out quickly, but it’s not going to generate an emotional response from her. Here’s an example…

Logical story:

“So there I am, standing in front of the pyramids waiting to go in. Once I entered, it was a struggle to get up to the top but it was well worth it. The Pharaoh’s room was smaller than I expected but I still thought it was cool.”

You need to speak with your senses and leave out unnecessary details. What did you see, smell, hear, taste, and feel in that moment? Use concrete imagery to make her feel like she’s there.

Descriptive emotional story:

“So there I am, staring up at these massive ancient structures towering over me. I felt so small in that moment but my hands were shaking in excitement. Inside, we had to crawl through these tiny hallways to get into the Pharaoh’s room.

I couldn’t believe that it was only the size of a small bedroom; I got so claustrophobic. If that’s all a king got, I can appreciate my dorm room a whole lot more!”

Give her an opening

A one-sided conversation can feel like a rant. Interactive storytelling is an effective way to keep her engaged. Involve her by asking a simple question during the story or posing an open-ended one when you’re done.

Adding to the pyramid story above:

• “What’s the greatest place you’ve been?”
• “Did you go through that obsessed-with-pyramids phase when you were little too?”(Thanks Indiana Jones!)
• “…my hands were shaking in excitement. You know that feeling, right?”
• “Yeah, I realized I was a total chicken in tight spaces. What are you afraid of?”

End on a strong note

Your stories should be purposeful. Use them to get her to crack a smile or convey something personally meaningful.

When wrapping it up, remember: What was funny about it? Why was it important to you? Did you learn a lesson? How did it affect you?

Your life is a great story never too boring to tell. The best orators practice regularly and can make something exciting even from the mundane.

The marriage was particularly violent and, on one occasion, a heavily pregnant Knight burned all of Kellett’s clothing and shoes before hitting him across the back of the head with a frying pan, simply because he had arrived home late from a darts competition after making the finals. In fear for his life, Kellett fled before collapsing in a neighbour’s house, and he was later treated for a severely fractured skull. Police wanted to charge her, but Knight was now on her best behaviour and talked Kellett into dropping the charges. In May 1976, shortly after the birth of their first child, Melissa Ann, Kellett left her for another woman and moved to Queensland, apparently unable to cope with Knight’s possessive, violent behaviour.

The next day, Knight was seen pushing her new baby in a pram down the main street, violently throwing the pram from side to side. Knight was admitted to St Elmo’s Hospital in Tamworth where she was diagnosed with postnatal depression and spent several weeks recovering. After being released, Knight placed two-month-old Melissa on a railway line shortly before the train was due, then stole an axe, went into town and threatened to kill several people. A man known in the district as “Old Ted”, who was foraging near the railway line, found and rescued Melissa, by all accounts only minutes before the train passed. Knight was arrested and again taken to St Elmo’s Hospital, but, apparently recovered, signed herself out the following day.

When police raided his house, they seized 1,000 marijuana plants and 9,000 rounds of ammunition for an assortment of 27 weapons — including a grenade launcher, because McGruff must have lots of enemies.

After three years, Morales, 41, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 16 years in jail
