Absotively. Think what the WISE thing is rather than what's the most you should be able to do, etc. Very, VERY true. Most men simply cannot know the difference in perspective between the sexes in this particular area. For a woman, security is pre-eminent, and a constant awareness of things that could take away that security cloaks us every day. It is NOT fear...rather just an acknowledgment of what is. I live three blocks from a gas station. I could easily walk there and back if I wanted a quick snack. Even in the dark it would be a pleasant walk because of the neighborh

I think i love you.

I remember that. The public figure Sarah Palin didn't say that; the public figure Tina Fey did. Assuming that's what you were referring to. Just makin' the point.

That is the TRUTH!!! Man, they are messy critters. But they are soooooo precious.

Oh, get a room, you two. As with so many things in life, it's not what you can get away with/should be able to do/etc. - it's what is the WISE thing to do. And the WISE thing to do is not go alone. I'm also not entirely convinced this attack was random, nor am I convinced it happened on the trail. I have no inside knowledge or anything...JMHO. I just feel really badly for this lady.

I concur. I have a ton of pines, but few that aren't healthy.

I had forgotten the details. Bless her heart. Amen, sister. Amen.

It wasn't her. She was at an LGBT parade planning meeting. Zorro - yes, I gathered that. I guess my mind was running ahead, trying to figure out why Swafford would think it was airport foes trying to hack into his account stuff. Anyone who stole his information would try to get into every account, I should think, so I don't see what that had to do with it.

Exactamundo. As the saying goes, better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Another great saying is when seconds count, police are only moments away. Again, exactamundo. As I said before (here or on the other thread), the bike lady had her pepper spray and cell phone with her and the chick kidnapped in the mtns and murdered was some sort of belt in judo and had a dog with her. If you are ambushed or overpowered, it doesn't make what sort of weapons you have on you. As momof 3 and I are fond of saying, IT ONLY TAKES ONE TIME. So, in answer to the original question - no, it does

Well, thanks for making me cry in the middle of the afternoon. How. Utterly. Precious.

Not bustin' on you, Nina, but the lady who was murdered had her pepper spray and the Emerson girl who was snatched (and later murdered) was some degree belt in judo and had a dog with her. I'm all for Mr. Walther, though.

Well, you know your and my motto is - It Only Takes One Time. Yes, people should be able to occupy the trail in broad daylight without fear for their safety. But the truth is, mean people are out there. And it only takes one time, and BAM. :sigh:

Another thread is already started; perhaps mods could combine? http://paulding.com/forum/topic/310903-police-activity-on-silver-comet/ At any rate, you're right - plumb skeery. NO WAY would I walk/run/ride alone on the trail.

Link works for me. So, they're thinking airport foes are breaking into their homes/bank accounts? How did Swafford know someone was trying to hack into his bank account? That's awfully vague. But whatever. If it is the foes of the airport doing shenanigans, they're stupid. What would that gain them?

AJC says popo are looking for a vague description of a dark-haired man. http://www.ajc.com/news/news/woman-attacked-seriously-injured-on-silver-comet-t/ngqzL/

Will do, and good for you!

:SWOOOOOOOOOOON: Yowsa. That is beyond precious.

I know (she said worriedly).

Yeah, def. need to be slapped. And how do they get around laws requiring some sort of education for their kids? Creepy. I hate people. ('Cept you. And Blondie. And a few others. A very few others. )

:faintingdeadaway: I knew there was a reason I don't go to that Hiram WalMart. :shudder:

I think the headline should read, "Dollar Tree to acquire Family Dollar for...wait for it...a dollar!" I like Dollar General, and we all know how Blondie and I feel about Fred's.

The latest thing I read is that many/most of the people infected eat bat soup routinely. A) UGH, and 2) if you cook the dadgum meat properly, all bad things are killed. EWWWWWW, EWWWWWWW, and EWWWWWWW!!!

Well, crap, when you take away higher-crime cities like Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Macon, Albany, and Rome, you ain't left with much. :snort: And John's Creek is #1. WHO'D'A' THUNK IT?

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA That's the funniest thing I've read all week. hahahahahahaaaa I missed it, too! Yes, we need pics! And what's her name? :wub: :wub: :wub: I just went into a cuteness coma. :swoon:

What precious pups! I love the way the dog in the water kept shaking the water off his face, but he kept going back in after the tire.
