family

An alternative route from our school cuts through the forest to the locale from where many of the grade schoolers come. It is inhabited by bears so we are admonished by county patrollers to stay at the unobstructed outer areas.

My cousins and I lived in a simple house when we all went to just one college so that we could look after one another. Being far from home, we took some steps to make sure that we stayed secure.

Hints of a commotion and muffled cries rang through the heavy door of the restroom in the movie house. I was not several feet away, waiting around for Ida. Alerted by the din, I hurried in and found her sprawled on the floor, petrified.

Mothers know best. That was what I realized after I almost fell prey to a mugging incident in a mall parking lot but was saved by the devices for self defense in parking lot attacks of my friends.

I promised after I had my driver’s license that I will take the necessary precautions to make sure that I am secure in transit. I purchased car safety devices to add to my self defense products now that I am much older.

I had a problem with the company conveyance. I was glad to have it in place of Pop?s broken-down Buick, which conked out at last for carrying me repeatedly at Interstate 90 to Rapid City, but the new four-door sedan was perhaps too attractive.

I am always concerned with the safety of my two children when I go to work, being a single parent to them. I can afford to hire a babysitter but cannot entrust their safety to a total stranger. I cracked this dilemma when I found the 2 in 1 personal and burglar alarm that an officemate recommended to me.

We were jogging one night inside our subdivision, my 10 year old son and I, when suddenly a big Alsatian sprang from the sidewalk. With fangs exposed, the animal chased us, barking loudly as he ran.
