Same here, but all my neighbors know I'm well armed. (And crazy at that!)

ROTFLOL!! Guess that's less permanent than cutting his whoozzy-whatzit off as some have done, LOL!

My iron skillet sits out on the stove as I use it nealy every day for something, even grilled sandwiches, so I'd probably try to grab for that.

One of my daughters, who is single and lives alone, has baseball bats stashed in convenient locations thru out her house.

I can't think of anything within reach that would be good for whacking - will have to give that some thought!

More than likely wife was AT her sewing machine when they broke in. Good for her!

I have been broken into when I was home. The phrase 'paralysed with fear' is what describes the body's reaction.

Only one thing for me to do, let Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson handle it! I know how to use it and practice as often as I can.

Never would I use one of my machines! I did; however, have a daughter who played softball for several years and still have several of her bats laying around. 8-)
