Safety tips

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.)

Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to 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 CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

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).

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!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! 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.

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 safe than sorry.

Thursday

It's raining gently today, has been most of the day. It's what we need.
A friend of mine had open heart surgery Tuesday and it was her 2nd double bypass, she did make it through surgery which I'm very happy about. I message her occasionally but she needs to rest.
Wish I could go home. I've been bundled up in a coat all day. Not sure what's going on with that. Hmmmm......
Wes is headed home by way of the store so he called me.
Guess I'll leave at 3:30 today. I do have a slight headache. 

Monday

While it started out and was shit most of the day and all I wanted to do was cry it ended on a good note. I still need to reboot. But home in my safe place now where no one can hurt me or be mean to me.

Dreaded Monday

Here it is Sunday night and dreading going to work tomorrow.  It's just fabulous that someone else can make me change my mind as bout a job. Still looking for a new job. Think I'll go back to an office job. That's what I'm looking for.

Wishes

Ever wish or just get the feeling inside to go somewhere new? New scenery, new people new jobs......just new, or go hide somewhere for a while. Feeling a bit on the edge with people and circumstances lately. 
The coworker makes things extremely difficult I'm extremely uncomfortable at work now and would rather not be there at all. I pray every morning she calls in. I'm praying I get one of the jobs I've applied for. I hate to lose my city job but I can't stay where I'm at with whom I'm with. I'm keeping notes and she knows it. I've had enough. I'm not her flunky, im tired of hearing senior may junior must crap like shes superior.
I'm going to go have a heart to heart with boss and hr on Monday.  Could go good or bad don't really know which. I guess I'll see. I just want to work and not have to be someone's bff at work. Ugh.
Well enough for tonight.
I guess his movie is over but he has yet to come see where I am.

Memories

I remember how much fun shooting was. I have a beautiful plaque that says Shoot Across Texas. I did too. Texas State champion for my division in 2012. I love outdoor shoots. I need new limbs for my riser and new string. I'd love to shoot again. 

The dates on the pics are wrong. Stupid camera. 

I think I need to get into this again for relaxation purposes. 

Rain

Rain glorious rain is what we have today! I hope it rains every day this week. We sure could use it.

Sunday Rest

Well Pistol got the day off today. It was hot, he has been worked every day and this morning at work was a complete shit show. So I got some laundry done and did not a lot of anything. 
I'm not ready to go to work tomorrow.  I am not ready to deal with the......well others. I just have a hard time with the crawling up my business and the attitude. I really love working for the city but I really need to work for the city in a different capacity, as in somewhere else. I do like working for my boss and I like the people at city hall.
Well I guess time will tell.

Pistol 3rd training

Today I started Pistol out and when Jennifer and Jamie got here I'd done a fair amount since Pistol decided to kick at me. So he was rather sweaty when they got here. Pistol saw Jamie and you could see the gears grind as he was trying to figure out who to watch and pay attention to me or Jamie. He did respond to Jamie a lot better today and the difference is I work him on the days that he doesn't have training with Jamie. It's done a lot of good. I will continue that. Jamie played across him and so did I. I was going to ease my leg over but Pistol was gonna freak a little so I slid off. We will come back to that later.

Pistol night after

Tonight I got home and got a handful of treats to reinforce my relationship with him because he is a bit shell shocked about the whole training thing. He acted a bit afraid of me or confused so we did our normal thing with the treats of working at liberty. He is my sweet boy. I don't want our relationship we've built in 4 years to go out the window. So i think i am going to see about incorporating our thing in with his training.  I do love that horse. Raised him from 3 months old. He is 4 years old now. I hope to ride him for many years. As special as Trick is to me i raised Pistol and that means a lot. I appreciate jamie and Jennifer for the training they are putting on him for me.

Pistol 2nd training session

Well started out still thinking he could do as he pleased. NOPE!! Didn't take long to figure out he had to work harder.
He finally got it and he is going to be a hell of a horse. Can't wait to actually be able to ride him. He gives me stink eye as he goes by in the roundpen with his trainer. Fine tuning his groundwork.

Buttons

Our sweet baby girl Buttons. She is a doll. She has settled in very nicely and is a huge part of out family now. I've discovered she is terrified of storms, and is hyper sensitive to sound. Sweeping scares her. She will get over some of these issues. I removed her stitches last night and she was perfect. She is such a doll. She is a little jealous of Mia. Lol. They do play though.
I'm glad I brought her home.

Rain Finally

We finally got some rain last night and this morning.  Praying for more. Please!!
I'm sure all the animals are grateful.

I'm still sick. Wish I was home curled up in bed with my buttons.

Pistol day 1 training 8/5/18

Thought he was billybob badass, found out he wasn't.  Ended on a good note. Lesson 2 will be Tuesday. He is getting 30 days. I really think he will do well. I'm very excited!
Thank you Jamie and Jennifer.  Sorry he kicked you Jamie.
