If you overthink, you tend to freeze. Fortunately, Cloudy made all the right preventative moves, and it saved her. But, if she had actually been attacked, could she have effectively fought back? I for one certainly hope so. I'm kind of fond of her. 
But she and we, will never know. And hopefully, she, and we, will never have to.
BTW...a huge [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img] for you Angeleyes. I'm glad you're all right. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Just occured to me, I never responded to this, honey! Yes, I think I learned the preventatives because I don't know that I have that much confidence that I could deal with the actual attack. And yes.. I'm most glad I didn't have to find out.. I suspect that's when I'd panic.
