IMPORTANT INFO FOR WOMEN

Hello Everyone,

 

Evelyn Here,

 

The following message was an email circulating around the office today. It appears to have originated from someone in Tallahassee. The original author is unknown.

SUBJECT: IMPORTANT INFO FOR WOMEN


Because of recent abductions in daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation... This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, everyone you know. After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you....chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! 

 

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

 

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS!) The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.  a. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you.  If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location. 

 

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage: 

 

A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat 

 

B..) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most
serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while
the women are attempting to get into their cars. 

 

C..) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)  

 

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!) 

 

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP. It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

                                                  ----- Here it is----- 

 

9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought
it was weird. The police told her "Whatever you do, DO NOTopen the door." The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door." He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of theirhomes thinking that someone dropped off a baby He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night. Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby.

 

This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana. I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.  Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it's better to be safe than sorry.

Mayor Action Center Update

Hello Everyone,

Evelyn here,

and I should be in choir rehearsal at this hour, but I am in the middle of a major upgrade that is taking more time than I had, originaaly expected. However, I want to say a few things about the previous entry.

To begin, I do not like to speak or write about unpleasant things in my life. Nevertheless, there are times when occurrences like that of the previous entry must be addressed. 

As it turned out the call showing as coming from the Mayor Action Center came from a friend whose phone is connected to the center. This friend was unaware of the problems I have had in the past with people misusing the center’s extension. I did explain it to him and he appeared to understand. However, unless others have experienced what I have experienced with the center’s extension, it would be hard for them to understand my feeling about it.

In this matter, I think informing other of my experience is the right things to do. I stated in an earlier entry that I am not posting entries of this nature to win anyone popularity contest nor to get people to like me. I am doing is help prevent and/or stop pr prevent such abuses from happening to others.

I believe that if my experiences can save another from such crudity or help ease their pain by letting them know they were not the first and they are not alone, then post the entries I will.

. . . And Now For Some Bad News

Hello Everyone,

 

Evelyn Here,

 

On Tuesday August 22, 2006 and exactly at 2:22 PM, I received a call that logged into the missed calls area of my cell phone. It was entered as coming from the Mayor’s Action Center. For many of us who live here in Saint Petersburg, we know that the Mayor Action Center number is a common and multi-departmental number for frequently called departments within city and county. Some of these departments are Fire Department, Waste Management, Sanitation and the perhaps the most called department of all, Saint Petersburg Police Headquarter.

 

What this means to us is that although each department has its own direct number, they are also links to the Mayor Action Center number. This number is often viewed when one of these departments return a call to us. This also means that unless someone from one of those departments calls us from their direct departmental line, you have no idea where that person is or who person is that placed the cal to you. Again, you only know that the number on your caller ID registered as coming from the Mayor Action Center.

 

Why do I bring this up? A few years back a person and/or persons used the Mayor Action Center number to harass me. That person or persons who used the number knew that I could not trace their calls, and that I was going on their word that they where who they representedthemselves to be.  

 

Generally, when call comes in from the police department it will register with the Mayor Action Center number. A few years back, I was frequently going to court on a matter that still involves a couple of families on this avenue. Because of this, I have to talk with various police officers.

 

It was during this period that problems arose with the Mayor Action Center number. Sometimes there appeared to be no one the line. The person would say something rude or the number would be listed when I returned from attending an errand, but no one from the police department could tell me where the calls came from nor who made them.

 

However, I became even more concerned when I received a couple of calls registered with the Mayor Action Center number and the person on would identify himself as a police officer who begin questioning me about matters that I had already shared with the an officer on my original report.

 

The second time this happened I became suspicious and questioned the caller. I asked his name, his badge number and his direct police line so that I call him back and verify that he and his called was genuine. I never got the information, so I ended the call. From that time on, I have not accepted calls showing the Mayor Action Center number, unless I am expecting the call, and that I am aware of who the person who is going to call me. I may still request a direct number and call the person back.

 

Tuesday, I was not expecting a caller Mayor Action Center number, and I know whom I trust within the police department and gave my cell phone number. This call I was not expecting, and I received no return call from that day, but I did restated that I was not receiving calls registering that number without caller the call name and number to verify.

 

We hear all the time about home invasion by people pretending to be police officers. We also hear a lot about drivers pretending to police officers. Now I am adding people who misuse the Mayor Action Center number because it is untraceable and has been to my past distressed a tool used to mislead, harass, and intimidate a victim of crime. Do I have some idea what group of people may have talked someone into making the call to harass? Yes, because they did it in the past.

 

Could one of these unscrupulous people have gotten my cell phone number and had me called on Tuesday? Yes indeed. However, I missed the call, and since I have not any experienced harm, nor I received another call, I consider this incident as a “wrong number”.

 

Nevertheless, I have written this because I lived through this type of harassment once before, and I will not live it again. In addition, I do not want anyone else to live it.

TRANSFORMERS NEWS

Hello Everyone,

Evelyn Here,

I am in!  That is . . . , I am in the Transformers official website. It was my understanding that the poblem with getting on to the site in the past was due to the large number of fans wanting to get access at the same time.  However, that problem appears to be cleared. Below I have provided the official Transformers movie link. As with all new sites. there is not much to see right now. There is some neat wallpaper for downloading (such as the one pictured above which looks so like a eye to me) and a great movie teaser. I believe it is Optimus Prime who destroys the space probe. Fans can also register a membership.  The movie is due out 7-04-7. Neat!

I can't help it. Somethings just bring the kid out of me.

Burroughs' Diet

Hello Everyone,

Evelyn Here,

The first thing that struck my eye after booting up my internet connection was this, “Beyonce’s Breakthrough Diet". As someone who has been avoiding the issue of shedding of a few pounds (I am admitting this?!), I tried to avoid the article. However, curiosity led me to read about this marvel of the diet. 

What I discovered was that this is really an older diet created by Stanley Burroughs some 50 years ago, and it is commonly known as the Burroughs' Diet. It is a simply diet that cleanses of the body system of bad toxins and as an added bonus reduces body weight. By fasting, a dieter can lose 2-3 pounds the first week and up to 20 pounds within 40 days.

The diet consists of drinking a mixture of lemon juice, real maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in 8 ounces of water. Sounds good. Must try!

The article also offers aid to keeping ones bowel movements stimulated with a laxative tea, as well as how to safely and slowly adapt to eating fool again without the binging.

The following links leads to the Doctor Black Org and the two articles on Beyonce, her up coming role in the movie, “Dreamgirls”, supposedly based on the dramatic lifestyles of the singing artists The Supremes,  which eventually led to their split in the latter 1960s, as well as Beyonce's success with the Lemonade Diet.

The Beauty Of Lucy Lawless

Hello Everyone,

Evelyn Here,

I know, I know. I should be sleeping at this hour. However, tomorrow is Friday and the end of another work week for me. This being the case, I just had to post a collage I just finished of my favorite actress. Yes, you guessed it! Lucy Lawless.

In her role as Xena Warrior Princess, Lucy dyed her hair dark brown. Many thought it was black, but it was a very rich dark brown. Given her natural features, she was able to carrying off the color change without looking harsh. The photo on the left was taken in April 1999 a year prior to the ending of her series.

Today in this 2006 photo, Lucy is gracefully pictured with her true blond coloring. It is a striking pose and truly compliments her natural beauty. I created this as desktop wallpaper, so it is twice the size of what is shown here.

One can see from both photos that Lucy Lawless is a great beauty no matter what color her tresses.

While Xena Warrior Princess can only be seen on DVD or at reruns on Oxygen, D'Anna Bier (Lucy's new role on Battlestar Galactic) can be view this fall starting October 6, 2006 on the SciFi Channel. We will also see more of the Cylon world. We will also see how they evolve to a state of where a very human moral issue like the killing one of their own changes their perspectives of themselves and their society.
