Women alone should take extra precautions because some men might take advantage of a situation.<br /><br />For instance when I walk some neighborhood I take some gold rings off of my fingers.<br /><br />I also don't drive late at night in bad areas of town.<br /><br />Someone once asked my why I was careful when arguably at the time I could have taken most groups of bad guys without weapons.<br /><br />I told him I did not have a crystal ball and as the outcome was unknown - I was not taking unneeded risk.<br /><br />You are a wise woman Michelle!John W.

Imagine reading about a woman (or man) that was assaulted in a building such as yours. <br /><br />Someone would be quoted as saying it was potentially preventable. They'd say "She/he couldn't see the door, was having problems hearing, there were no cars in the driveway, the assailant entered from an unlocked or open rear door, couldn't get away, didn't have car keys or cell phone nearby..."<br /><br />A few simple adjustments on your part greatly reduced your chances of all those things. You can be aware but not paranoid. It's the oblivious that I worry about. If I was teaching a self defense/awareness seminar, these are exactly the types of things I'd cover. I truly believe that awareness is the best defense of all.<br /><br />As for your ears, I'm sorry you're suffering. Ear candling is painless and often very relaxing, most done in a spa type setting, laying comfortably with relaxing music. Another option is to put a drop or two of oil in your ear at night and put a cotton swab it. Mineral oil, even olive oil is ok and safe. If it's wax related, it'll come out within a couple of days. If it's an infection, best to go with the doc. <br /><br />Good luck.Journeymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00146093025259375890noreply@blogger.com
