after that, about 2 hours passed that i mostly remember (plz understand, this was about 14 years ago) then, about 4 or so hours later, i found myself about 4 or so miles away on someones back porch knocking in panic at about 3 am. I think they slipped some "juice" to me and i went nuts :guitarist
I used to hang out with a very shady group of stupid people. Random and exotic drugs were not uncommon. I took none that i know of (I wouldn't put it past these fools to have slipped a little something into my drink)
I am glad there was alot of attention. But I wanted some ideas to protect our home. But as far as I would go to protect my children, I think I would just try real hard to disable the person. I know my husband though he be one of them I have to protect. He would be shaking like a tree in a hurricain. But thats ok, I love him to. Talk about role revesal.
Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are a must.
I had someone try to break into my house when my son was just a baby. Hubby was on night turn. My first thought was to turn on a light so they would know they woke me. Whoever it was must've taken off. The cop suggested I not stay alone. A lot of help. I went out and bought a gun the next day. No doubt in my mind I could use it if neccessary to protect my family.
once Doug and I had this guy over our house and he was trying to sell us a 16 hundred dollar fire alarm system. Even on credit. Come on. He even bought us dinner a local tgifs. and that alarm system was for a one bed room apartment on the second floor.:-4

yeah, after the post i put up the other day, it takes quite a bit to offend BR.
*slurp*:wah:
Get your mind out of the gutter - it's blocking my view
Mind like a steel trap - Rusty and Illegal in 37 states.
Well seeing as l live in England l don't own a gun. But God help the idiot who ever broke in to my house.
I have a very large loyal dog, with big old teeth (make wolverines look teeny!)
and l don't care how big they are no one will get near my son, even if it means killing.. There is no way you can predict what they want when they break in to rob or rape.
I had a situation a few years back, l'd been out with friends and came home pretty late and was tired. It was summer so l opened the living room window (one of those little ones near the top of the window frame0 and forgot it was open when l went to bed.
I was awoken by the noise of someone on the stairs and for a split second thought it mught be my son (4 yrs at the time), it then registered in my head that he wasn't there!!!!
He was at my friends for the night. I did not have my dog then, but l did have a pick axe handle ddown the side of my bed.
I lay there and pretended to sleep, l figured the best method of attack was surprise. As soon as l saw a very large figure in the doorway l leapt out of the bed screaming and came within an inch of smashing skull...
When the voice of my best friend screamed at me don't do it it's me!!!
Well l didn't brain him, but l gave him a good few bruises from punching him back down the stairs from scaring the living c*** out of me.
Have never left a window open since:-3
Us ladies have to be careful, we all don't have a big old man around like far etc all the time:D
