    You didn't include the category i would be in:
    More than once or twice. Occasionally and sometimes regularly, but definitely NOT "all the time". More like a couple times a month maybe.

    I needed the same category as well, because there are certain areas on the MONON here in Indianapolis where cyclists, walkers, etc are being robbed, having guns pulled on them and the worst a cyclist was mob attacked at dusk, beaten, dragged off the trail and left for dead. Thankfully someone found him and he's recovering, but when I was able to ride, that's the main route I take back from the far north side where I do most of my riding.

    BTW I LOVE your new Avatar Lisa!!!!!!
    Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches
