Today is Q & A. I will be answering several questions posed to me throughout my day.

The first question is "What is a pud?" The link below should shed some light on this.

Being unaware of the meaning, I called my six year old son a pud earlier this evening. This is because he was asking if he could have more of the gelato we bought from Gino's. The gelato's that is $5.95 per PINT and tastes no better than the stuff from Krogers. I advised each family member trying the gelato to SAVOR each drop because it would be their last (regardless of how it tasted). This brings us to question #2. What is gelato? See below:

Now the last question of the day has nothing to do with the first two. I once heard about a deterrent to sexual attackers and shared it with a friend the other day. The tidbit I shared was you should urinate or defecate on yourself and this SHOULD gross the attacker out. So the question begs is this effective? Well the advice below goes a little further. Take a look:


Preventing RapeIf you are in immediate danger of being raped, here are some things that you can do.
Make a loud noise - Carry a whistle or scream "police" to attract attention
Run - Only run if there is somewhere safe to run to. If there is no where to go you may aggravate the assailant further by running
Stall - Speak calmly and rationally. Try not to plead, cry or show that you're scared, this may be the reaction that he's going for.
Urinate or vomit - Do anything you can to repulse the assailant. Tell him that you have a STD or AIDS.
Fight - Women who resist attacks and act quickly are less likely to be raped, than those who are passive. The optimum time to react is in the first 20 seconds when the body releases chemicals in the blood that help to put up a fight. Be cautious if he has a weapon.
Keep alert - Even though it will be difficult, try to pay attention to as many details as possible, so that you can identify your assailant.
Get help - Call 9-1-1 as soon as possible. Police are becoming more willing to help victims of rape. You are not obligated to press charges or go to court.
Collect evidence - Do not bathe, shower, or douche. If you change clothes, put the clothes you were raped in into a bag and seal it.
Tell someone - Call the police, rape crisis counselor, telephone operator, friend. It is very important that someone knows and that it is not kept a secret.



Now I hope you all come away a little more informed about the world around you.
