What from his book gives us a better timeline?? You only gave fords testimony, but cited nothing from the book. Does he mention he had a short stint at the Safeway, was it his job pretty much throughout high school? What does the book actually say?I find this new information very interesting. When I heard of Judge's continued insistence that he doesn't recall the incident in question I figured it was just due to his friendship to Kavanaugh (the guy code to back each other no matter what) but then I figured maybe he didn't want the publicity. If he's written a book about his drinking problem back in school then not wanting the publicity would not exactly make sense, however if what he's attempting to avoid is saying anything under oath that can be disputed or contradicted through his own word, such as in this book, that makes more sense to me.
Analysis | Mark Judge’s book validates Christine Blasey Ford’s timeline of the alleged Kavanaugh assault
During her testimony Thursday morning, Christine Blasey Ford offered one piece of information that she felt could narrow down the time frame of the alleged incident in which she says she was assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh at a gathering at a house in Maryland when they were in high school.
She described having seen Kavanaugh’s classmate Mark Judge — who she alleges was in the room when the attack occurred — shortly after the alleged incident.
“I did see Mark Judge once at the Potomac Village Safeway after the time of the attack,” she said, “and it would be helpful with anyone’s resources if — to figure out when he worked there if people are wanting more details from me about when the attack occurred. If we could find out when he worked there, then I could provide a more detailed timeline about when the attack occurred.”
Responding to questions from Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), she gave more details about that alleged encounter.
“I was going to the Potomac Village Safeway, this is the one on the corner of Falls and River Road,” she said. “And I was with my mother and I was a teenager, so I wanted her to go in one door and me the other. I chose the wrong door because the door I chose was the one where Mark Judge — it looked like he was working there and arranging the shopping carts.”
“I said hello to him, and his face was white and very uncomfortable saying hello back,” she continued. “And we had previously been friendly at the times that we saw each other over the previous two years. . . . I wouldn’t characterize him as not friendly, he was just nervous and not really wanting to speak with me. He looked a little bit ill.”
“How long did this occur after the incident?” Durbin asked.
“I would estimate six to eight weeks,” she replied.
To Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Ford offered some ways in which the time frame of Judge’s employment might be ascertained by the committee: perhaps “through employment records or the IRS or anything,” she said.
There’s a better source, as it turns out: Judge’s book, “Wasted: Tales of a Gen X Drunk,” published in 1997.
Yeah that grocery store was no doubt the cool place to hang where no one would expect to find you with your parents.Do you have teenagers? Do you spend any tike with real teenagers?Her story of visiting the Safeway was the first thing to convince me that she was flat out lying. Didn't want to be seen with her mother at the grocery store? really?
Let's see, she supposedly had gone through a life changing trauma just weeks before and yet her biggest concern was that she might be seen with Mom? Most people traumatized in such fashion tend to stick close to other people after such an event.
I’ve worked with trauma victims for years; I’m guessing you never have or you’d never make such an erroneous statement.Yeah that grocery store was no doubt the cool place to hang where no one would expect to find you with your parents.Do you have teenagers?

sure. when i know it's real.I’ve worked with trauma victims for years; I’m guessing you never have or you’d never make such an erroneous statement.Yeah that grocery store was no doubt the cool place to hang where no one would expect to find you with your parents.Do you have teenagers?

Here’s a hint: The rate of divorce in marriages where one or both partners is a PTSD sufferer is very high. The rate of PTSD among juvenile delinquents and/or teens with social and familial difficulties is very high. Trauma damages relationship skills, which is why so many trauma victims struggle with intimacy for years if not lifetimes following the trauma. This includes children relating to parents when a trauma, especially one that isn’t shared, lurks under the surface.
Please, educate yourself. Be a friend to trauma victims.

In one passage, beginning on Page 92, Judge describes his time working at a grocery store in the context of his drinking problem. Emphasis added.He may have looked ill because in his own words he was often hung over or still drunk when working at the grocery store.
It was the summer before senior year, and by now, even though I wasn’t drinking every day, I was completely hooked. Going a week without getting drunk was unthinkable. I was spending between four and seven nights with the gang, either at a party or at O’Rourke’s.Elsewhere in the book, Judge describes one of his acquaintances at the time, someone named “Bart O’Kavanaugh,” who vomited in a car after a party.
Judge continues. Emphasis again added.
Of course, alcoholics also get into all kinds of trouble because of their drinking. When they supersede their own tolerance, they suffer catastrophic hangovers. These can make getting through the day an Olympic event. This was never more evident to me than when, to raise money for football camp, I spent a few weeks working as a bag boy at the local supermarket.[snipped]
My job was simple. People would leave their grocery baskets against a rail in front of the store, then pull their cars around. I would then sling their groceries in the car, sometimes get a small tip, and then wait for the next car.
It was a nightmare. Invariably I would be hungover — or still drunk — when I got to work at seven in the morning, and I spent most of the first hour just trying to hold myself together.
Judge’s book also might help explain why he looked ill the morning she says she saw him.
Ford implies that his face got white as a ghost because he saw her and was scared because of what happened. So she’s not too good at reading body language.The information you're requesting is available via the story hyperlinkWhat from his book gives us a better timeline??

The reason for him turning white and looking ill when she ran into him could be due to due to him being rattled by her appearance, him being hung over or still drunk as he claims was often the case when he arrived at work at 7:00 a.m. or it could be both.Ford implies that his face got white as a ghost because he saw her and was scared because of what happened.

If she read the book and was creating a false narrative, don't you think she could have fleshed out her story a bit more to make it more believable?
