TIPS TO KEEP YOU SAFE |
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 neighbours!
This should probably be taken seriously because
the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on
America 's Most Wanted when they profiled
the serial killer in Louisiana
Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this.
It may save your life or
a loved one's life
If you don't have a gun,
here's a more humane way to wreck
someone's evil plans for you.
Did you know this? I didn't.
I never really thought of it before.
Wasp Spray
A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection.
She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.
The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection.
Thought this was interesting and might be of use.
On the heels of a break-in and beating that left an elderly woman in Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save your life.
Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania Southview High School. For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed.
Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them."
Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says "spray the culprit in the eyes". It's a tip he's given to students for decades.
It's also one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for protection, Glinka says look to the spray.
"That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save a life.

HEALTH ISSUES AND TIPS |
Get a scroller sign at http://www.crazyprofile.com.com!
Reference diabetes information
American Diabetes Association
www.diabetes.org/
They have tons of stuff along with
suggested recipes, etc.
The first thing to deal with in understanding
that ones has diabetes is........
getting past "denial".
Most people will want a second or third opinion....
some will insist they don't have it and will
try to continue doing what they have all along.
The ideal glucose (sugar) level range
is 102 - 117. If it goes much below that,
or above that range you have a problem.
Diabetes is controlled through proper diet,
exercise, and usually medication.
The earlier its detected the better it is to
come up with a plan to control it.
Some people can actually stay on a good
diet and exercise program, and do not have
to take medication. Check your sugar level,
and check it often.
There is no such thing as "a borderline diabetic".
Either you have it, or you don't have it.
If you do, then you need to decide to control it,
instead of allowing it to control you.
Keep in mind, that you can have up to 15-servings
of food per day.
1-serving = approximately 3-ounces.
So therefore its recommended you could get
by with even less than that amount,
perhaps even 12-servings.
CARBS & SUGAR
*************************
Pay attention to your carbohydrate intake.
Carbohydrates turn into 100% sugar.
Thats why many diabetics read the labels
on the food they buy, checking more to the
carbohydrate content, as to the sugar content.
Also, keep in mind just because
the packaging may have "No Sugar" or "Sugar Free"
you still need to check that label.
Many of the sugar free item's have more
carbohydrates than the regular type food item.
Also, you can subscribe to the Diabetes Forecast,
a magazine designed for those of us with diabetes.
In it you will find articles relating to the disease,
and also a good recipe section,
usually four different suggestions per issue.
It has a penpal section where you can contact
others and share your knowledge with others
that have the same problem.
There is generally a question/answer section, also.
If you are diagnosed with it, its recommended
to keep on your person, or near you items
like glucose tablets in case you have an
extreme sugar low.
You can buy these at most drug stores,
or pharmacies.
BE PREPARED
*******************
You may want to opt to have fresh
fruit like an orange.
Even a candy bar (1/2) or the real
Classic Coke can help bring up the sugar level.
A tube of cake icing is another quick
remedy, and easy to keep on hand.
You should eat your meals on a regular basis,
skipping a meal is not a good idea for any diabetic.
Try planning your meals in a measured amount,
and try to eat near the same time each day.
You can have snacks between meals,
but they have to be of regulated sensible nature.
You should have on your person some
type of designation advising others that
you are a diabetic.
Many wear a bracelet or a necklace with
that information, and some even
include the type of medication you take.
Have a list of all your medications either on
your person, or in your purse just in case
you become a victim of a medical emergency.
In the home, have a similar list posted either
on the refrigerator door, or a visible bulletin board,
or message center so emergency personnel can find it.
Another good means of treatment
is for anyone with diabetes to take
classes on how to manage it.
Many places offer these,
including some health plans.
If you would like further information,
contact Tee.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read
and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately,
the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe
brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke
.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple
questions:
S *Ask the individual
to SMILE.
T *Ask the person
to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or
her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with
ANY ONE of these tasks,
call 999/911 immediately and describe the
symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out
his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the
other,that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this,
you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
MENTAL HEALTH
************************
Only a few years ago this subject was taboo.
No one talked about it,and if you did,
you were immediately "Labeled"
Thank goodness and thanks to media
exposure, this subject is no longer
the scarey subject that people shun from.
Today almost every person world wide
has a family member suffering from
some sort of mental health issue,
wheather it be, depression,anxiety,
panic attacks,or other conditions.
The important thing to remember is,
there is a multitude of help available.
If you think you need help,
contact your clinic or doctor.
Don't try and deal with it on your own.
Here in Australia, there are many
organisations that are there to help.
Beyond Blue and LifeLine
are just two that are constantly
in the media.
Remember
"You are NOT alone"
Why am I talking about this subject ,
I can hear you say...
Well as most of our regulars know,
this time last year I recovered from
major surgery..and not long after that
I was a survivor of a "Hit & Run"
while crossing a road.
The physical injuries healed but
the impact of the accident sent me
mentally into a downward spiral.
I now suffer from Agraphobia...Anxiety..
Post Traumatic Stress
and Depression.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever
think I would be in this position.
Depression to me just 12 months
or so ago just didnt feature in my vocabulary..
until it happened to me.
Thankfuly I have a wonderful Doctor
who is still treating me for all the above,
but he also put me in touch with a
Personal Support Program and
Victims Of Crime Support
(both Therapy groups)
without this help I don't think
I would be where I am today..
I call my self a Survivor as
opposed to Victim because
Survivor is the positive..
I know I will rise above this in time.
So please seek help
and as I said earlier
You are Not Alone
there are people willing to help.
********************************************
EATING FRUIT .......
It's long but very informative
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.
What is the correct way of eating fruits?
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.
In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.
So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining - "every time I eat watermelon I burp", or "when I eat durian my stomach bloats up", or "when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet" etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying of other foods and produces gas and hence you will bloat!
Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes; all these will not happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.
There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.
When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get the taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!
KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can you believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food.. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack . Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive...

SAFETY MESSAGE FROM TEE
I know how it feels to wake up some morning and find a vehicle missing out of my driveway. It happened to me, but they broke a window to get mine.
Then took the truck out to a desolate location removed the tailgate, splashed it with gasoline, and burned it.
When I got the new replacement I immediately had an alarm installed, and purchased a steering lock, as well as a brake pedal lock. Not to mention I bought additional ammo for two different handguns.
Here is info worth the price of your car....
WHAT WILL the car thieves
THINK OF NEXT?
The car thieves peer through the windshield
of your car or truck,
write down the VIN # from the label on the dash,
go to the local car dealership and request
a duplicate key based on the VIN #.
I didn't believe this e-mail,
so I called Chrysler-Dodge and
pretended I had lost my keys
They told me to just bring in the VIN #,
and they would cut me one on the spot,
and I could order the keyless
device if Iwanted.
The Car Dealer's Parts Department will make a
duplicate key from the VIN #,
and collect payment from the thief who will return
to your car.
He doesn't have to break in, do any damage to the
vehicle, or draw attention to himself.
All he has to do is walk up to your car,
insert the key and off he goes to a local
Chop Shop with your vehicle.
You don't believe it?
It IS that easy.
To avoid this from happening to you,
simply put some tape (electrical
tape, duct tape or medical tape)
across the VIN Metal Label located on
the dash board.
By law, you cannot remove the VIN,
but you CAN cover it so it can't be
viewed through the windshield by a car thief.
I slipped a 3 x 5 card over the VIN NUMBER.

Police Nab Marked Men
Pair of alleged Iowa burglars opted for black Sharpie disguise
OCTOBER 28--Meet Matthew McNelly and Joey Miller. The Iowa men were arrested Friday night on attempted burglary charges after a 911 caller told cops that two hoodie-wearing males were trying to enter his apartment. During a subsequent traffic stop (McNelly, 23, and Miller, 20, were traveling in a 1994 Buick Roadmaster), Carroll Police Department officers collared the men, both of whom had their faces painted. Police Chief Jeff Cayler is unsure why McNelly and Miller, pictured in the below mug shots, opted for the Sharpie marker look, but surmised that they may have been trying to intimidate the apartment's occupant. Or perhaps ski masks are a bit pricey.
In the long line of stupid criminals , this one is probably the stupidest (and probably loneliest): Stephfon Bennet, 20, allegedly robbed a woman and then returned a couple of hours later … to ask his victim out on a date!
"We are not exactly sure what he was thinking at the time," said Columbus police Sgt. Sean Laird. "She recognized him right away when he returned and was able to have her cousin call 911."
Officers arrived and arrested Bennett in front of the house, police said.
Bad idea: Robbing a Starbucks
Really bad idea: Returning to the scene of the crime (for coffee, no less) …
Neatorama-worthy: … in the same clothing you wear when you robbed the place, and while the cops are there to interview the employees!
Vying for this year’s Stupidest Criminal Award is David Howard Isberg,
a 42-year-old Boulder man who really, really liked his coffee:
Police said David Howard Isberg on Tuesday walked into the Starbucks in the 2400 block of Baseline Road at about 11:45 a.m. and stood in the customer line wearing yellow gloves, a red backpack and wire-rimmed glasses — clothing the suspect had on when the same Starbucks and a nearby King Soopers grocery store were robbed Sunday night.
Detective Kurt Foster was in the coffee shop Tuesday to meet with employees and interview the manager when he noticed Isberg, whose physical features also matched the man suspected in the weekend robberies.
