PLEASE Read this post.. Then read the information below...Hey everyone... I am copying and pasting part of an email that I read this morning. I read through the different tips and am really glad I did. I never think about what I would do if I found myself in a scary situations. Most people, including myself, think "oh that will never happen to me". And even while reading through the email I was thinking its great info to have but I doubt it'll ever happen to me. But these things do happen to people everyday and I think its really important to think about what you will do before hand.....
Just this morning RIGHT after reading this email Tray and I went on our morning walk. we went up to the library and over to smiths then down to the mall. We were just getting ready to leave the mall when I noticed a man watching us. I just tried to ignore him and keep walking. He tried to get my attention by saying "miss" but I tried to keep walking. He came and got in front of me to get my attention. He asked me, if he paid me ten dollars, if I would let him use my phone... Instinctively I thought 'Of course he can use my phone..' That's just me... and that's why Darren constantly gets mad at me and tells me I shouldn't be so friendly to people... then I thought about this email... and I thought to myself, 'If he really had ten bucks to give he could use a pay phone. So there's something else he wants..' Then I thought of my baby son sitting in his stroller in front of me and thought that even if all he wanted was to grab my phone and run with it there's no way I could go after him cause I have Tray with me... But he also could want something else. And I wasn't too excited about putting myself or Tray in that situation. I looked him in his dirty face and said, "I really don't think so" And turned to walk away. He started saying something after me but I didn't pay attention.. I walked as quickly as I could the other way. I called Darren so I could be talking to someone while I hurried home, then locked my door and called the mall security so they could find they guy and get him out of there. **Heads up** The guy was in his mid-late forties, tall, brown hair+receding hair line, long face, really dirty, wearing all black. Black jeans, long sleeve shirt and boots.**My little mall experience probably wasn't anything like the situations given in the email below...but you really never know.. maybe it could have been. Please read....WE'VE READ THIS BEFORE, BUT IT'S TIME TO REFRESH OUR MINDS AND STAY ALERT LADIES!
Everyone should take the time to read this information "" It may save your Life "" especially you WOMEN,
Because of recent abductions
In daylight hours, refresh yourself
of these things to do
in an emergency situation...
This is for you,
and for you to share
with your wife,
your children,
everyone you know.
It never hurts to be careful
in this crazy world we live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest point
on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. .. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet and/or purse than you,
and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy..
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.
This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars
after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.
DON'T DO THIS!)
The predator will be watching you, and this
is the perfect opportunity for him to get in
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.. If someone
is in the car
with a gun
to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
Repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine
and speed into anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat
they will get the worst of it .
As soon as the car crashes
bail out and run.
It is better than having them find your body
in a remote location.
5. A few notes about getting
into your car in a parking lot,
or parking garage:
A.) Be aware:
look around you,
look into your car,
at the passenger side floor ,
and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van,
enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims
by pulling them into their vans while the women
are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car
parked on the driver's side of your vehicle,
and the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone
in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work, and get a
guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
Stairwells are horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!)
7. If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times; and even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying
to be sympathetic:
STOP
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well educated man, who ALWAYS played
on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often
asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle,
which is when he abducted his next victim.
9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch the night before last,
and she called the police because it was late
and she thought it was weird.. The police told her
'Whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door..'
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window, and she was worried
that it would crawl to the street and get run over.
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they think a serial killer
has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone
dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby's cries outside their doors
when they're home alone at night.
10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and then attack. Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbors!
Please pass this on
The Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on
America 's Most Wanted when they profiled
the serial killer in Louisiana.
Forward this to all the women you know.
It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle..
I was going to send this to the ladies only,
but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc.,
you may want to pass it onto them, as well.
Send this to any woman you know that may need
to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it
and it's better to be safe than sorry..
Sunday morning I woke up in loads of pain and within a few hours I was bawling my eyes out. Seems I picked up a kidney infection, and it has not been fun. I had to go to the doctors and pee in a cup and all that awful stuff.. We had planned to come back home that evening but I was in so much pain, and Tray wasn't feeling so great either which we found out later was due to an ear infection :( so Darren decided it would be best if we stayed behind at my Mom's so she could take care of us. Which she did and I can't thank her enough! My parents and my siblings were amazing and kept Tray entertained constantly so I could rest. Within a few days though Tray decided he liked my mom more than me. That was interesting! He would kick and scream when she would leave the room but didn't even notice when I left. How rude! Ha ha I'm glad he loves her so much but I thought I had at least a couple years before he started picking her over me. (She absolutely loved it) He had to be with her, constantly attached to her hip, even while vacuuming. She had to hold him in one arm and push the vacuum with the other. And only she could bath him right it seemed.. I'd try to take him but he'd cringe away from me. I must just be a mean mama ha ha oh well.
