What was the Enigma Code? The Enigma code was used by the German military to encrypt messages before and during the war. The code was first broken by a Polish mathematician, Marian Rejewski in the early 1930’s using a machine called The Bombe. One month after the code was broken, Hitler became Chancellor of Germany…

I was around when abortion was illegal still, in the 60’s and 70’s. At 17 I got pregnant. Abortions were illegal, dangerous, expensive and I my case far away. My boyfriend, 4 months younger, married me with my parents’ help. I had graduated high school. Pregnant. He had not graduated and making a living was VERY difficult, even with help from our parents…

The day my 18 year old grandson was killed in a car accident in pouring rain, ten days before Christmas 2016 was the worst day of my life. My son called on his day off, which was unusual, and I said, “what’s up?” He said in a hoarse voice that…

My daughter, my second child, is 55. I was very young, 19, when I had her. I didn’t want another child. I was deeply depressed. I was in an abusive relationship with my husband whom I married at 17 and he was 4 months younger. I thought of falling down…

Men have stories too. Almost all women, maybe all, have a tale of harassment, unwanted touching or assault. Many of us have been raped but never reported because we knew what a huge thing would be made of it and all we wanted was to forget. My stories start 60 plus years ago. And the same stuff is happening still.

"Their simplistic interpretations of scripture, gullible acceptance of absurd theologies and conspiracy theories, and credulous trust in corrupt religious leaders (Catholic priests and televangelists) primed these conservative Christians for Trump’s political cult." You are saying then that it is gullibility and lack of critical thinking that keeps these people locked…

Sounds like mental illness. Very sad since they were both geniuses.

Loved this one. A perfect start to my day. I can imagine the scene, having lived in the Seattle area for over fifty years, till I moved here to California ten years ago. I miss the many beautiful scenes in that area, all the water of the lakes and oceans, the sea lions and even the seagulls. This was a beautiful piece and I wish Lawrence and Matt the most happiness, and you as well.

I wonder more deeply, about how Elvis took Priscilla from her family in Germany when she was 14 and basically raised her to be the wife he wanted. I wonder what happened during those years until she was 21. And why 21 and not 18? Ok, just figured it out. 21 was the legal age for women to marry without parental consent in the 50's. Were they having sex before then? If she lived with his mother probably not. And he seems to be a guy with the virgin/whore complex. So he worshiped her virginity. Either you were a virgin or you were a whore. So then I have to wonder what other women he was having sex with and how did Priscilla feel about that? I hope the movie touches on these issues because without them it is not an honest story.
