You want to deal with a crazy lady, you have me - - never mind some rock throwing wack job!<BR/> I thought you told me that you lived in a SAFE neighborhood! Perhaps you might take this opportunity to define "safe"<BR/> Seriously, perhaps it's time to move, or hire a body guard 24/7! Call me silly, but I kind of like you safe and sound and in one piece!<BR/> Love, hugs and kisses, <BR/> Momclergywmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10942512395611982544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635182102349009610.post-12575074829261398022008-10-25T12:23:00.000-05:002008-10-25T12:23:00.000-05:00Glad you are o.k.

Think of it as an extra cardio workout!<BR/><BR/>It reminds of my days as a mental health social worker. Like the time a suicidal client left a razor blade in my car. (She wasn't going to use it on me, mind you.) Or the time that a psychotic patient chased me with a knife. (I quickly went to probate court and had her committed to the hospital.) Good times, I tell you, good times.<BR/><BR/>Stay safe, avoid old ladies, and maybe wear a helmet in public!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15002182471765142695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635182102349009610.post-65791145615846275102008-10-24T17:57:00.000-05:002008-10-24T17:57:00.000-05:00Hey Cheasty- I'm glad you're ok.

But I did tell myself from the get go, if someone gets killed on my block, I'm out of here. One day after breakfast a kid got shot in the skull while rolling by in his car. He crashed into the light post outside my house. I compressed his head and told him to keep calm until the ambulance came. He died that night. I moved out the next week. Stay safe. I imagine you can wacked anywhere. Still, some places are safer than others.Evan Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684249782281510256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635182102349009610.post-86303578134319909632008-10-24T16:50:00.000-05:002008-10-24T16:50:00.000-05:00jen - thanks for the sympathy. i know i've got no...jen - thanks for the sympathy. i know i've got no right complaining after all you've been through, but thanks for not laughing! ps. saw more pics of you and your long hair looks great!<BR/><BR/>princesspi - yes, there's always that. great dinner party stories. "hey, did i ever tell you about the time a street lady in Managua tried to brain me on the sidewalk?" it was about time I added to my repetoire!<BR/><BR/>alison - thanks, lady. and it's a good reminder that tough shit happens everywhere, so suck it up. thanks for the postcard, it really cheered me up!<BR/><BR/>Lindsey - we've all got our boundaries, and they change on a daily basis depending mostly on hunger and general grumpiness. don't sweat it!<BR/><BR/>renny - no kidding. i'm an expert dodger. one might even call me an Artful Dodger, were one feeling particularly Dickensian! :) The Tweed will be a welcome change of pace.Cheastyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150907215217140902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635182102349009610.post-41653371554871714312008-10-24T14:34:00.000-05:002008-10-24T14:34:00.000-05:00Wow, that's so scary!

(As I imagine you and everyone else you know is also glad). I once got hit in the head with a hard crust of ant-covered bread by a homeless dude, but man nothing as terrifying as what you experienced. Fingers crossed that the stats don't come true for you and that you emerge unscathed (although I imagine you're already a tad unsettled) from your time in Nicaragua.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635182102349009610.post-9270601648192830092008-10-24T09:32:00.000-05:002008-10-24T09:32:00.000-05:00Dude.

Break-ins (some during the day!), murders, robberies, pickpockets, fights, you name it. It's absolutely insane. I'm hoping that since I've already been mugged and pickpocketed that I'm safe until I leave. I sympathize with you, I really do.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06211044757853303170noreply@blogger.com
