DECEMBER 23rd-25TH🎄🎄🤶

STAYING SAFE WHILE YET ENJOYING THE HOLIDAYS

HAPPY HOLIDAYS: 50+SUB-COMMUNITY


1. Keep a watchful eye on your surroundings.

2. Do not be looking down at your phone nor allow yourself to be distracted.

3. Do not leave money or valuables visible to anyone passing by your car windows. Your trunk is better.

4. Try to have someone with you when you are out shopping.

What can you add to this list?

Just remember an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Enjoy the holidays and thank you for being here.

Hi! Thanks for posting! I saw you were having a few problems so I have narrowed down all the posts to this one here and helped with the edits so I hope that you are happy with it now. Sometimes the forums don't immediately register we have posted but things are being ironed out and fixed.

It is a very important topic especially for anyone that is fragile or vulnerable in any way. With the cold weather and ice and snow sometimes it is good to wear shoes with strong soles or those over shoe things with spikes that grip to avoid slipping. And of course stay warm!

Merry Christmas everyone!

@scarletPear1945 thanks for this post

Do not be looking down at your phone nor allow yourself to be distracted. This is so true. I see people darting across the street not looking at traffic but looking at their phone instead.


The other thing I try to do is to watch my thoughts. If I see dark angry thoughts arriving in my mind I excuse myself and go to another room or do self talk to stop myself from latching onto angry thoughts.

I like your idea to go to another room if you notice dark angry thoughts entering your mind. I needed that advice. Thank you.

@purpleTree4652 thanks it helps to not be in the vicinity of the person who said things or did things that I start to react to.

@scarletPear1945 These are good reminders. The local news has been giving similar reminders where I live due to robberies. I would add to be extra careful in traffic these days.

If a blizzard is going on in your area, STAY HOME!! Nothing is worth freezing to death or causing an accident that hurts not only you, but others!!

I was always told by my parents to keep at least half a tank of gas in my car during the winter. Keep a blanket in the car to keep you warm if you get stuck and something to drink.

That's smart. And even an old pair of sneakers if you have them. an old bathrobe. a protein bar. a bottle of water.

@WharfRat made me think of some other things that I have had in my trunk. If you have an old tote bag or just a grocery store bag, throw the stuff in it and put it in your trunk.

@WharfRat good preparation and food that will not spoil. I have ready to eat cans of soup and extra clothes and water.

I always try to keep 3/4 of a tank of gas in the car.

Add a torch with batteries, or better still a wi dup torch as batteries can fade in cold weather. And one if those aluminium blankets that can be bought in camping stores.
