I always carry my cell phone, some pepper spray, and a knife. I don't listen to music because I want to be fully aware of my surroundings. Still I have had wackos approach me and when yelling didn't work I ran as fast as I could and didn't look back. A running buddy and myself were chased by a few men once. So even though yelling hasn't always worked I think it is good to start off with and taking self defense and martial arts would definately be a plus! Thanks for the great advice! function sbmgOptinValidateForm948(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm948' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm948' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

I am one of those people who panic (or cry) first, and then deal with the situation. I react better when I've thought about a situation in advance and have a plan. Thank you, Kelly and Healthy Minute, for giving me a plan! Though of course, I hope I never have to use it. function sbmgOptinValidateForm526(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm526' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm526' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

I have never been in this situation and think I know what I would do, but like Kelly said, most of us hold are breath thinking of what to do. I now will hold my alarm button on my key ring when I am walking to my car. I have been thinking about taking a self defense class and I am now going to look into actually doing it and this article is a great start! Thank you! function sbmgOptinValidateForm351(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm351' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm351' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }
