Cotillion Colloquy…

I was reading blogs and Cotillion emails last night, simultaneously, and thought it was a perfectly good time to blog a little about the Cotillion Colloquy. ThatÂ’s how I think of it, colloquy. I mean, there is A LOT of chatter over there….

I went to college in Burlington, VT, beginning in 1984 and have lived here since. During which time I have, mostly, lived alone, as a single woman and frequently went out on my own, until all hours. Now, at 40 years of age I look and see more violence in the entire world and know that no one is safe, where ever one resides. Think about the Amish, I mean really, who would had thought something that vile and inhumane would had unfolded there? A tip for survival for women is this…Try not to go out alone, but if need be-NEVER talk to a stranger (mainly men) when alone, ALWAYS be AWARE of your surroundings, take self defense, learn to shoot a small handgun and carry one, or carry a knife and make sure you are imminent danger before using it and also know where to strike (the testicles, or between the anus and testicles), and NEVER allow the predator to win. So sisters, take heed in the above words I have bestowed upon you and know that my thoughts are with Michelle’s parents, family and friends. Take good care.

it’s been weird here. friday i left work early and watched the press conference live from city hall saying they found michelle in richmond. it was pretty somber here friday nite. i still need to find where to buy pepper spray seeing the army/navy store is out…wonder why? over the weekend i definitely didn’t walk in the dark alone like i typically do. they don’t neccessarily have michelle’s killer which makes most of my friend’s and i a little on edge.
but i have taken this whole situation very seriously, and have taken yours and ma’s advice about being particularly careful.
