An Easy Way To Protect Yourself
Protection for you and your home
If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone's evil plans for you.
Did you know this? I didn't. I never really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat.
Wasp Spray
A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.
The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection... Thought this was interesting and might be of use.

On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save your life.
Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania Southview High School . For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed.
Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them."
Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says, "spray the culprit in the eyes". It's a tip he's given to students for decades. It's also one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for protection, Glinka says look to the spray.
"That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out."
Maybe even save a life.
Please share this with all the people in your life.

Ducks
A sardar went hunting one day in Ontario and bagged three ducks. He put them in the bed of his pickup truck and was about to drive home when he was confronted by an ornery game warden who didn't like sardars. The game warden ordered the sardar to show his hunting licence, and the sardar pulled out a valid Ontario hunting licence.
The game warden looked at the licence, then reached over and picked up one of the ducks, sniffed its butt, and said, "This duck ain't from Ontario. This is a Quebec duck. You got a Quebec huntin' licence, boy?"
The sardar reached into his wallet and produced a Quebec hunting licence. The game warden looked at it, then reached over and grabbed the second duck, sniffed its butt, and said "This ain't no Quebec duck. This duck's from Manitoba. You got a Manitoba licence?"
The sardar reached into his wallet and produced a Manitoba hunting licence.
The warden then reached over and picked up the third duck, sniffed its butt, and said, "This ain't no Manitoba duck. This duck's from NovaScotia. You got a Nova Scotia huntin' licence?"
Again the sardar reached into his wallet and brought out a Nova Scotia hunting licence.
The game warden was extremely frustrated at this point, and he yelled at the sardar "Just where the hell are you from?"
The sardar smiled turned around, bent over, dropped his pants, and said, "You tell me, you're the expert."

The Obediant Wife
There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved
all of his money, and was a real "miser" when it came to
his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife....
"When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it
in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the
afterlife with me." And so he got his wife to promise him,
with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put
all of the money into the casket with him. Well, he died.
He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting
there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next
to her. When theyfinished the ceremony, and just
before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the
wife said,"Wait just a moment!" She had a small metal
box with her; she came over with the box and put it in
the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket
down and they folled it away.
So her friend said, "Girl, I know your were not fool enough
to put all that mony in there with your husband."
The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I'm Christian; I cannot
go back on my word. I promised him that I was going
to put the money into the casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put that money in the
casket with him!?!?!?"
"I sure did", said the wife. "I got it all together, put it
into my account, and wrote him a check...If he can
cash it, then he can spend it."

The Cowboy
You think you have lived to be 71 and know who you are...
then along comes someone and blows it all to the dickens........
An old cowboy sat down at the Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee.
As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him.
She turned to the cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?'
He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life breaking colts, working
cows, going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bailing hay,
doctoring calves, cleaning my barn, fixing flats, working on
tractors, and feeding my dogs, so I guess I am a cowboy.'
She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about
women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women.
When I shower, I think about women. When I watch TV, I think
about women.I even think about women when I eat. It seems
that everything makes me think of women.'
The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a man sat down on the other side of the old
cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?'
He replied, 'I always thought I was but I just found out that I'm a lesbian.'

This is fascinating
A short you-tube video that is unbelievable!
A pod of bottlenose dolphins off the coast of Florida have developed a remarkable hunting strategy in order to catch fish. Another awesome thing about this technique is that only one female in the pod can create this ring, and it's always counterclockwise.
