Ironically, I found this on a board in Myspace. Ironic because Myspace itself acts as a hunting ground for perverts and sickos waiting for a girl to post private info like addresses and phone numbers.

I know many of us have a Myspace...it's actually not so bad, that is until you find a kick butt blog and it happens to be your great grandma's...jk.

However, please, please, please be careful of what you post about yourself, in ANY blog. I have read so many horror stories of girls meeting up with guys from a community blog and realizing it wasn't the best idea. So please look out for yourself and your fellow sisters...and brothers too.

Crucial --important tip for the females here, Thanks El Ma)

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
in New Orleans. 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 checkbook, 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.

a. 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, 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.

************* Here it is *******
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.

Please pass this on and
DO NOT open the door
for a crying baby ----

PS. the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted
this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.


I'd like you to 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.

Flash powder worls too for making hasty exits. If your gonna stealth out make sure you leave somthingbehind like a jacket.

Som one wouldn't think you left with out your wallet. So buy a second wallet and leave it around.

Ninja Chop is CRUCIAL.

That is all.

and if all else fails, remember the old adage.

When in doubt, go for the groin, it may be the most inhumane thing one could possibly do to a guy, but if it works, do it.

good tips

its so sad that we live in a world where these tips are necessary.

At the house I used to live in the driveway could get a bit dark at night and I would get so paranoid when leaving my own house. Sometimes I would have my mom come out with me to check the backseat - I felt stupid but it was really reassuring in the end.

Dekine, I think it's the eyes, they're kinda spooky.

Yup, it is sad that they're necessary. Even Orlando is becoming a dangrous place to live in. People wouldn't think it, but there's crime all over this place:(

Oh, another popular tip is always have your key's ready once you make you're way to the car. You don't want to be caught fumbling around for keys if someone wants to approach you.

Also when you're coming up to your car, take a quick glance under it. Some sick minded people hide under your car with a knife, and when you're stopped getting your keys in the door they'll slash your achilles (sp?) tendon.... very very bad. I just wanted to reiterate the checking around your car tip.

Also make a lot of noise when someone is approaching/attacking you, especially when hitting them. Breathe out explosively as you punch, hit, kick whatever, you'll hit harder. Go for the throat, groin, back of the knee, spine, temple...any weak point on your attacker, that'll take 'em out pretty quickly.

Umm best of all would be take a martial arts class I was in Karate for a few years and it taught a lot on self defense. Carry around like pepper spray or a tazer or something to scare away people.

I dunno.

Ouch, doesn't sound like too much fun! When I was little I used to eat those flavored chapstick things. The Batman one was my favorite (it was like fresh cherries).

Oh I didn't eat the container too, just some of the goop inside.

Here's a little bit I added where you posted elsewhere Gypsy :)

-If someone grabs your arm with a tight grip for restraining you, twist your arm to the point where the thumb and index finger meets (or where they are closest creating a gap). THIS IS THE WEAKEST POINT IN THE HOLD AND EASIEST SPOT TO BREAK FOR A QUICK ESCAPE!

-Never be afriad to go under the belt if someone is attacking or trying to kidnap you. While it may not be 'playing fair', it can save your life. Other good points to hit are the feet and the head.

-If your in a headlock, use that fabulous elbow of yours wherever you can, be it hitting the head or the stomach and take whatever openning you can get.

-It may sound gross, but the armpits are actually one of the most sensitive parts of the body, a sharp pinch there can get people to let go quick. Also, on veins(sp?) and the underside of the arms.



FOR PARKING LOTS: If you're going out to your car and it's dark or late at night and you're alone, use your keys as a weapon. Think of Wolverine from Xmen, with a key in between each finger to act as a weapon. While they might not seem very sharp, they can still do a lot of damage.



The biggest thing is to get a friend (preferably a guy since that's who you're most likely to need to use these on, but anyone will do) and practice any and all strategies! That way you know exactly what will and will not work. While it may vary between body types and such, you'll still know which is most effective for a quick getaway.

^just if you're practicing with a guy, don't go for the lower abdominal if you know what I mean. There's no question if that works, I was practicing with some nunchaku I had lying around the house, and let's just say I can yell like Bruce Lee, but can't fight like him.

if you have the sort of thin keys not the long ones, put them between your knuckles as you walk, i do this (i'm a guy) and it makes me feel alot safer, if you punch someone with this hard enough it will go in, as far as you push it. (not too far or you might kill them :confused: ) but if they were attacking you they deserve to be hurt, once there incapacitated, remove your key, and run to the nearest busy road or a store/occupied house/home as fast as you can, i've never had to use it but it makes me feel safe

BUT make sure you keep your knuckles hidden, e.g. in a pocket, so the person doesnt see it or they'll go for your hand first disarming you, not good.

I think it says quite a bit about the state of things when we need a guide like this. Still, better safe than sorry.

And groin or eyes are pretty good targets, fi you manage to get a swift kick to the 'nads, the guy ain't going to get up for quite a while. It doesn't even have to be that hard of a kick, it will still hurt like hell.

And always keep your energy sword nearby.

fishman550
07-10-2006, 04:37 PM
haha, yeah keep your sword in your pocket and if someone attacks you remember to bridge host and get your shotgun out.

One sad thing is I've seen a couple cases where people are attacked and use these tips to defend themselves. Later the attacker sues the would be victim and wins on ground of excessive force. It's a sad world we living in where an attacker can sue a victim that manages to save themselves... AND WINS!

my personal favourite for taking someone down has always been a good hard elbow to the nose around the bridge followed my a knee to the stomach. but remember alls fair in love and war so a hard kick the the groin is not a low shot at all in my opinion and even if you do a second to the stomach to make sure they stay down its their fault for trying to attack you in the first place

Wowza I just got chills from the one about the crying baby. People are crazy!

We had a *undercover* cop car with a blue light trying to pull women over on dark roads.. but guess what

it wasnt a cop. he took the women and raped them.

so in maryland.. we now have a law that says you do not have to pull over for an unmarked car at night. get to a gas station or well light area .. make sure you put those flashers on and do the speed limit.
