#NotMeToo #RobertPattinson

I’ve been trying to figure out where and how to post this or even if I should but here goes. Years ago, Twilight was a thing. Vampires were a thing, actually. Twilight,though, it really took over the world. Not my world, I hadn’t read the books, hadn’t speculated who might be cast in the roles of a lifetime and I had no idea who had been cast in the role of the sparkly vampire.

I traveled to NYC for a cooking class and ended up stuck in an airport overnight after missing my connecting flight back to Kansas. Over the course of the evening lots of things happened. I took pictures of groups who were traveling together. I had dinner with some Swedes whose party was too big for two tables but not if they added me to their party. I bought my mother some earrings. And evidently, I spent twenty minutes or so next to Robert Pattinson.

I found a bench with an electrical outlet and huddled in for the night with my carry on and overly large personal item. I remember getting tapped on the shoulder. I jumped in my seat and the man had taken a large step back. I removed my earbuds to find him inquiring if it would bother me if he sat down for a while. I said no with a scowl on my face. (Let it be know, I have resting bitch face and he’d interrupted my movie). I noticed an uptick in people but tried to ignore everything. Eventually, he tapped me on the shoulder again and said, “Thanks, this was really nice of you.” He walked away and life went on until some awful child screamed into my face, “DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO THAT WAS? No. She told me and now I’ve you.

Life has gone on for all of us. I learned to make connecting flights. Awful child has grown up to love something else. Robert Pattinson forgot this ever happened. In the current world scene, where the act of sexual harassment and sexual predators are so predominant, it seemed like a fine time to recall a moment when a scared young woman from Kansas was spending a night in an airport and she was happened upon by a gentleman.

Security only came over once to question our antics, but we didn’t get thrown out, so all-in-all I consider this endeavor a SUCCESS!

Seems like a worthy excuse to exercise, too!

I keep talking myself in and out of doing a quick run to pick up a bag of jellybeans.

The main cons are having to put on pants and a bra.

The pro is jellybeans.

Buy a shirt; help old dogs have a home

Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary provides a home for senior dogs that cannot find people to adopt them—a real home, with beds

 and couches for them 

and love and vet care and a large property to roam on with custom-made boardwalks with ramps to make it easy for the dogs that have trouble with stairs. They also provide temporary and permanent foster homes for many more, with a unique thing called Forever Fostering, where people within 100 miles of the Sanctuary can foster a dog forever, with all veterinary care and medication paid for. 

They have around 20 dogs living in the Sanctuary, including blind pug Bugsy, who had to have his eyes removed.

three bonded pairs, such as Harley and Smily, surrended to a shelter when their lifetime owner had to move into an assisted living facility, which the Sanctuary took in together so they would not be separated

and new bffs

And they’re having a t-shirt sale to raise funds to keep taking care of these old dogs that have been abandoned or are too old to be considered “adoptable.” And you should give them your money. 

Buy a nice shirt. Help a nice dog.

Signal boost this, and I will buy a shirt for someone randomly chosen from the list of people who reblog this post.
