So I read the thread about the cum-clogged drain. Then I read the thread about the 911 call from the guy in the tower on 9/11. Then I read about the guy who raped and murdered his 2 year old niece. I am feeling quite literally queasy now on all fronts and while I’m really, really tired, I also really, really don’t want to go lie down in bed and let my brain start churning this stuff over. GAH!!! ---

In these cases I just have to work through it. I have an over-active brain, especially when my body and senses are inactive. ---

I don’t wanna dredge up the bad stuff, but I didn’t see either of the two latter threads (I saw the cum one, unfortunately). Anyone have links? ---
