Safety tips

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one's life... An Australian Cop wrote this for 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. 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 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!

Career Choice @ age 13

Let’s say you had to choose your career at the age of 10, what would your life career have been?

I remember that when I graduated from elementary, and my mom took me to open my first bank account, I knew I wanted to work in the bank. They just look so classy and a very respectable job.

And I have for the first 10 years of my career life! And it only changed when I had my 2 kids. My outlook shifted and I became a stay at home mom.

2000 Flushes

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of 2000 Flushes. All opinions are 100% mine.

When you have young kids in the house, chances are your toilet isn't flushed all the time. Right? No matter how many times I told my kids to remember flushing, there will be days that it will not be done. I really don't understand why they would forget but they do. So I need to check our bathrooms [we have 3 in the house] throughout the day just to make sure that they are always clean.

Do you use concentrated bleach tablets for your toilet bowls? I do. And I love how the 2000 Flushes keeps my bowl deodorized or sanitized with every flush. It is very effective at killing germs. And the good part of this is that it doesn't leave any stain on the bowl. It got continuous cleaning action that last for 4 months.

Did you know that Super Bowl Sunday is notoriously one of the busiest days of the year for toilets: 90 million toilets will be flushed during halftime. So "is your bowl ready for the big game?" It better be.

PLAN to change the world

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of SEO 5 Consulting. All opinions are 100% mine.

Last year, I received a birthday invitation, and at the bottom of that invitation is a phrase that said "You may choose to donate your money on behalf of the birthday celebrant instead of a birthday gift. Thank you in advance." I think this is a very good idea. My kudos to the celebrant and her family.

One of my goal is to be able to sponsor a child. It is a very huge commitment, and I am still trying to contemplate if I am ready for this kind of a long-term commitment or not. Anyway, if and when I do get ready, I wanted to support Plan Canada.

If you have the capacity and the dedication, you can help an entire community of children leave poverty behind. For as little as $35 a month or just $1 a day, you can invest in grassroots programs that will help local people build schools, train teachers, empower girls, dig wells, run health clinics, start small businesses, and much more.

Since I can't commit to this long-term child sponsorship right now, every year, on my birthday, I made it a point to make charitable donations. I mean, I donate to the church on a regular basis, but during my birthday month, I made donations to different charitable organizations, worldwide.

Dancing as a form of exercise

I used to dance, a lot! Almost everyday when I was in my teens. That is why I am so thin back then and in perfect shape.

I have gained 40 pounds ever since I gave birth to my 2 kids. And I just can't bring myself to go to the gym to workout. I would love to go back to dancing, but times have changed. Music have changed. And I can't seem to keep up with the trend anymore.

Sign of old age? Definitely.

I wanted to learn ballroom dancing, but I can't convince my husband to be my partner. So that is out of the question, for now.
