Hey! Just a friendly heads up. I know you are all intelligent people. But, we all get in a hurry and think we are okay this one time or whatever. Please be careful out there! Becareful when: * You cross the streets. Could be slippery or an idiot might be going too fast. * you leave your car in a garage. People could be lurking. And when you come back to your car too. * Don't jog or walk alone. * Don't answer the door unless you know who it is. * Be aware of strangers around you. They can clip your purse or keys quick. And they might have that apparatus on them that will take your credit card #. * you say things to others, that you don't hurt their feelings. * you are in a hurry. More reason for mistakes and injuries. * you drive in snowy weather. Be sure you de-iced the windows sufficiently and be defensive when driving. * you take your meds. Don't forget like I do some days. * you have to stop at an ATM. Don't trust strangers behind you. Put money away before leaving it. * you are walking in a parking lot. Be aware of your surroundings. People drive too fast. And, some aren't to be trusted. Sad but true. * texting or making a phone call. Don't do this in your car while driving! * when you know you are expecting a package. Some will steal them right off your steps. * discarding credit card ads or other things with a card in it or personal info. I scratch out my name and tear it up so no one can take it out of the trash and start an account in my name. * preparing chicken or other meat in the kitchen. Clean surfaces so you did get those nasty germs. * doing odd jobs around the house. That you are using the right tools and not taking risks. This time of year we get in a hurry, there are crowds of people, and we don't always pay attention. Have happy and healthy holidays.

And remove the snow or ice from the top of your vehicle if you can. I've seen a car have their windshield broken on the highway when snow and ice came flying off of the roof of the car in front of them. It took six years, but I finally got my apartment manager to put a peephole in my door. Literally every other apartment has one.

Good to clear the car off before taking off. Good one. Peep is good. Or just ask. Or don't answer it. Better safe thann sorry.

Very good and useful advice, thank you. Sometimes we neglect them and there is no second chance.

I just read a news story about a gal who was in the park and got raped and robbed. Now what she was doing in the park by herself in the dark is a good question. The news article was brief other than to say the suspect is a black male. Well that sure gives a lot to go by....NOT

She should have a buddy she walks with. Some woman just think they are above it all. Won't happen to them. Maybe they will know more later. I wonder why they don't use hypnosis more in these type of cases.

I constantly remind my children of these things... We just need to be alert at all times and can never be too careful... Thanks for the reminder!
