Can You Even Trust Your Own Family?

My brother Joe is down from Chicago to defrost for a week 'till he goes back to the snowstorm that's expected for next Friday when he's driving back! We went out to dinner and celebrated my oldest brother Angelo's birthday yesterday. We all went in his SUV which had a mini DVD player in it, and we watched "Family Guy" on our way to the restaurant. To think that there are always complaints of people talking on cell phones, yet many nowadays have DVD's to watch or GPS's to play with. I personally think that banning cell phone use is about as senseless as telling a biker to wear a seat belt!

Angelo wanted a "Black Forest Cherry Cake", so as I am trying to still stick with my new year's resolution, I had a grilled oriental chicken salad at dinner to help a little with the huge amount of fat and calories that I was going to inhale! I must share and tell you that a new record was set! The cake was so beautiful as my mother always out does herself every time she bakes one. It was frosted with real white vanilla heavy whipped cream, cherries all around the top and chocolate curls she made with a peeler all over it. She bought one of those little candles that play "Happy Birthday" when you light it. The awe of the cake and the musical candle must have put us all into a trance because we already cut the cake and started eating it before we realized the candle was still lit in the middle! It was the funniest thing to see the birthday boy blow out his candle on an already half eaten cake!

My mother always made sure we all had a nice birthday party. She would always make one of her sinful, absolutely fabulous German cakes, put up birthday decorations and put the special birthday plates and napkins out on the table. It was nice to have a little family get together. Amidst the opening of the gifts, I heard about a less fortunate family on the news about a man in Rhode Island who killed his parents, and then went out on a shopping spree with his girlfriend, then there was another story about a man in Ohio that killed his adoptive parents and step sister!

You know, it's a very sad thing if you have to wonder if a close relative could ever harm you, but I am sure all those people would have never presumed that someone in their very own family would do such a thing. The sad reality is, you really cannot trust anyone. I have learned that in this life, you need to take care of and protect your very own self because chances are, no one is going to do it for you. A Double Trouble Stun Gun is a great NON lethal self defense tool to have around your home.

If God forbid a family member has a bipolar disorder as one of the killers did, or if they just happen to snap one day, at least you can use a non-lethal device on them to try to help the situation should they attack you when out of their mind! Many families have arguments where they don't talk to each other for months or years, but for the most part, some do make up in time. Never let your guard down, make sure you are protected today!

Yours In Safety,

Regina Jacques
