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.
 After reading these 9 crucial tips, 
forward them to someone you care 
about.
 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 cheque book, 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 neighbours!
 Please pass this on

Law of the Garbage Truck

READ THIS AND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS SAYS!!!!!! LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT TO BE CARRYING LOTS OF "TRASH" AROUND!!!!!!! One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so .... Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. > Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it! Have a garbage-free day! "Faith is not believing God can, it is knowing that God will."
