My wife just got mugged.

6. I'm so sorry
That is hard to take when it happens to someone you love. And "just" being pushed to the ground is a very big deal in my book. I'm glad she's okay otherwise.:hug:

8. Her dad was a cop, and her mind clicked in.
She got the car description, busted tail light, so she did well. Still a bit shook up.

11. That's awful! But I am glad she is OK!
My ex-husband was robbed with a gun to his head, and a friend's husband was shot and killed several years ago.

I am sure it was awfully traumatic for your wife, but thank heavens she was only pushed down! An event like this really drives home how insignificant money really is, doesn't it? When my ex was robbed, all we could think of was how happy we were that all they wanted was money, even though at that time, we were so broke, and had been stressing so much about money.

Baby her... spoil her... she deserves it!

17. Thanks. Want a dog?
My worthless Leon just watched it happen...in fact, he cowered behind her in the middle of it.

24. He's a boxer.
My wife, of course, is sticking up for him, saying it happened so fast that he didn't have time to react (he was in the act of #2 when the whole thing started).

I'm still not impressed with him, but he's cute, so I'll give him a pass.

23. You can blame Bush for the shitty economy
and keep giving her hugs and hugs, so glad she's ok and had the presence of mind to get some details.

My 90 pound dog would have hid behind me too, if his look doesn't scare the bad guys off, he's useless

25. Hey all! Thanks again! Just put her to bed.
She's tired, and a bit shaken, but she's pretty tough. She's already joking about it.
