Thanks for reading. These past few months have been hard. Sometimes you think it can't get worse but it has.

Yes I am glad I am alright. I was shaking and my son would not leave my side when he found out what happened. He didn't want me to go to work this morning poor little guy I reassured him that it probably will never happen again that it was random. I hope it won't happen again the cops don't seem to be too helpful in searching. But what else is new.

What a horrible experience for you.  I am so glad that you are all right.   I sure hope that they catch him.   Poor 8-ball.  I'm surprised you didn't have a heart attack or something.

Yes Shelly
Don't worry about me I'll just huddle over here in the corner and cry. No, I already did that LOL. In light of all this people do care. I've had my dad's customers bring me supper for my kids and I, just to make sure I am eating and am alright. I now have the Duggly boy's (they are twin body builders here in town) watching over me and my apartment here above the store I see them driving by every half hour. So I feel safe knowing people do care and are watching out for one another now more than ever. I just wish they catch these people and it ends. But that would be a perfect world.

Wow Chyr
great first comment! Yes I am young and strong but I didn't feel like it that day. I had a magic 8-ball growing up too lol they come back just as popular. Take care and thanks for reading.

8-ball, sorry..I read this earlier but didn't comment..
I'm so sorry this happened to you.  Are you okay?

April,
Wow, so sorry for what you went through! Now I know why you were more than a little ticked off when commenting regarding the scam I posted on my blog! It is a harsh world. And being among it used to really piss me off too; I went through all the usual getting kicked and spit on stuff until I decided to disappear....lol, actually I've gone into several sabbaticals in these later years of my life just to rebuild the strength to go back out there and continue tackling the world.  You sound like a strong one though, good for you. What a horrific experience for anyone to go through!  I am so overjoyed that you were not injured!  Your writing is good and interesting.  It's nice to read you & to meet you!  But now, let's not have any more of this crazy stuff to write about, okay?  I'm glad you clarified your 8-ball nickname; I thought maybe you were a fortune teller....(maybe you're too young to remember the 8-ball thingy with the fortunes in it, huh? Really popular back in my day when they invented dirt!) Blessings to you.

Thanks Offy
It was scary just glad the babysitter came early because I was going to take the kids down with me to the store and wait for her there. Now thank god they did not go through that. It's better that I did than a kid. The robber was lucky too because if I had my kids I would have turned into Mother Bear and probably have killed him. LOL watch out!

Yes I will be alright with time. What's this about the moon? Is it in a bad spot, seems like it is stuck there and shinning a spotlight down on me the way my life is going these days.

The cops hard at work. LOL that's the worst, the law is designed and intended to protect the criminals not the victims. It is sad, the cop said even if he catches the guy there is no proof to convict him.

I am glad that I am alive and thanks for reading. But I will be terrified the rest of my life for sure thanks to this a$$hole.

Thanks I don't know if I'm ok. Still in shock that the crazed man didn't kill me for only having thirty dollars in the till.

Yes I believe it. People just have it in their heads that if it is not happening to them, why should they bother helping? Just the way this generation is growing up to, and it is a very scary world it is turning out to be.

Kabu
I know it has shaken me up a lot. Whenever we go outside or before we go back inside I am looking behind me for that guy. I am afraid for my kids, the cops don't/can't really do anything because the video camera in the store was not turned on so there is little evidence.

Thank you for your kind words. My dad is so upset I don't think he will ever let me open the store by myself again.

I'm so sorry this happened to you, I truly am.  You were violated.  I remember years ago in Dallas TX when I was innocently walking across the street from one hotel to the other when a fellow approached me.  Something told me it wasn't right.  I switched my purse from one shoulder to the other and he changed sides he was walking on.  I knew he wanted my purse, so I let it happen.  What horrified me was the fact that several hotel guests watched it happen and so did the front door staff.  Yet, when questioned by Police no one would say anything.  I just praiise God, you're okay to write the telling.  Please know you're being thought about?  --Mary

how horrible for you . I was shaking as I read your post. Drugs, for sure but why should you look death in the face because of someoneelse's life style. How brave you are to still be able to function and write. Will be thinking of you all day and here's a rose for you

I hope things get better for you soon, 8-ball.
