Amanda,
I’m so glad you are not hurt. Hope you are doing ok and we look forward to having you back.

Holy cow!! Amanda I am so sorry for hearing this terrible news. I hope you are ok and they caught who robbed you. No one should ever have to go through this!
Amanda,
I’m sorry that you had to experience such trauma. My cousin and I were robbed once in DC. I still have bad dreams about the incident even though no one was seriously hurt. We hope to see you soon.
!!
Glad to hear you’re okay Amanda! We’re waiting with baited breath to hear about it on today’s vlog here in Detroit…
Glad you are safe, although probably shook up quite a bit. Take care and we’ll see you soon.
i’m glad you’re ok, Amanda.
Don’t tell me: did they get that damn cell phone that’s been giving you grief?
i hope you’re not to shaken up; i’d probably have freaked.
Glad to hear you are alright… I don’t know what I would have done with out my daily rocketboom fix. I too was robbed at gun point in my rural Georgia town. It is scary as shit thats for sure….
Oh, that sucks. That sucks a lot. Glad you weren’t hurt–but you’ll be shaken up for awhile. Give yourself some time to relax.
I think Starfire’s comment sums it up for me; I was shocked. Glad to hear you are okay, Amanda. I hope the catch the creep.
Oh my… wishing you all the best. Make sure you drink lots of good tea and enjoy your comfort zone for some time. Looking forward to seeing you back on Rocketboom. Take care! Best regards from rainy Bergen.
Wow, I’m glad to hear you’re ok. Best Wishes.
So glad to hear you are ok, Amanda… the vlogging world will all be sending our best wishes your way.
We are all here for you, Amanda.
Grrr.
So glad Amanda is fine. I cannot imagine how shaken up she must be today.
Be good to yourself Amanda.
Glad to hear you’re OK Amanda … those experiences can be a nightmare … my hear goes to to you and I’m glad to hear you’re not letting it get to you and are jumping right back on the RocketBoom horse
That’s horrible news. I’m glad to hear that you are okay. Take the day off and rest, the news will still be there tomorrow.
Joe = The Least Sympathetic Person On Earth.
So sorry to hear.
I join the many who are so glad that you’re okay. Standing by for the next report…
Draw a picture of his (or her) face and show the world!
Amanda–I’m fairly new to Rocketboom and already find you a bright spot in my morning. I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. It must have been terrifying for you. But I’m glad you’re all right.
Big hugs,
Bev
Mt first thought was:
Is it another “Katrina” posting?
(I believed that one… and felt stupid afterward)
If it’s real (which I’m going to assume it is), very sorry to hear about your ord.eal.
Deep breaths.
Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Amanda Congdon’s life. Her breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever had.
I’ve only been watching for a week and a half, but you’ve already got me hooked!
Your news stopped me in my tracks this morning - I am SO happy that you are OK.
Watching your reports in the morning starts each of my days off with a smile and a laugh. Thank you!
Take care of yourself. I can’t imagine what you must be feeling right now.
ON MY GOD. Does this still happen in NYC ? My thoughts are with you Miss Congdon, hopefully this is just a scare and also I’m hoping you’re well after such a terrible affair. Hugs to you, I hope they can make you feel better.
(..and I wish the fucker that did this to you rots in hell )
Can we even believe her?
Skeptic, Your an Idiot.
Amanda - does this mean you’re now a Republican?
Say it ain’t so!
Skeptic kind of has a point…after the New Orleans “I’m a hurricane survivor” bit, I don’t know if this is news or drama.
If it is true, well then I wish the best for you. I’m sorry it happened.
Impeach Bush.
I truly am sorry to hear what happened. I hope that you’re alright. Hopefully they catch the bastard that did this. Take care.
Another example of how anything can happen, to any of us, at any time. Sad but true. It shows that we need to make the most of every day.
Amanda, it’ll be a while before you’re “fine”. Take care of yourself.
Eat good, take baths, and watch bad re-runs of sitcoms like three’s company… that’s the advice I got when something bad happened to me, now I’m giving it to you!
Yikes! Glad you are OK.
On behalf of the DemsTV.com team: Our thoughts are with you, Amanda. Terrible experience. We’re glad to hear that you’re OK.
Sorry pal,
Glad you’ll be okay.
damn…
xo,
alan
its a shame to have such a terriblly frightening thing happen to OUR amanda congdon!
i was put at ease to hear that she wasn’t hurt.
does this make you wanna learn how to use some sort of personal protection device like me? if so, what kind?
best wishes to amanda and all you good folks at ROCKETBOOM!
yours in flabbergast,
d.a.
…………………..I hope you could be back quickly!
First off, Chris is right… You brighten everyone’s lives everday with your vlogs.
Anywasys, hope you make out all right.
TeraLink Was Here!
P.S. I expect to hear some really rude & obstrusive comments about the mugger. ;-)
I’m happy to hear that you were not injured.
Holy sheit! wouw.. im glad your ok and you dont have to make a 9/22 episode for what i care take care of yourself FIRST!
Hello RocketBoomers,
Thanks for letting us know what happened to Amanda, it is a shame and we hope she is doing well. Life in NYC has its ups and downs but when s&^t likes this happens you often wish you were out of the big city, then over dinner and cocktails at you favorite local tratoria your reminded that the big city does have some redeeming value.
So glad to hear everyone is okay and look forward to seeing you behind the desk with your bright smile soon.
*Sh*t.
^_^
Again, hope you make out all right, Amanda!
TeraLink Was Here!
Only thing that matters is that you and your loved ones are OK. Thank god. Those pathetic *&&%$##@!! didn’t steal your brain, and they didn’t steal your heart. As long as you have you, they didn’t get away with your most precious possessions. Really looking forward to hearing from you.
Amanda, it’s good to know that you’re ok. Take care of yourself. I know some people who like breaking these jack@$$’s knees if you want em :-)
*hugs*
hope you’re back soon!
like lots of the other comments, i got robbed also 1 time (Paris,France/knifepoint) - i made the mistake showing my paper money once i got out of coins….
i hope it will not influence your “prettig gestoorde houding” that’s Dutch for something like “nicely disturbed attitude” (whatever)
my motto: it’s a jungle out there, hope you get out even stronger than you was before
respect,pit
I posted this morning…so where’s today’s webisode? I miss it! I want to hear what happened…I think if she recounted the whole o r d e a l it would be a good lesson for people (preparedness maybe)
-Toddles
Sorry to hear. As much as you can be under the circumstances, I’m glad you’re OK.
I was “shocked” this morning when I read what had happened to you. I was hoping to see your smiling face now…
Take care of yourself Amanda. You are a Courageous Leo, so it’s okay if there is no report today. We all understand…….yell, scream, kick, or simply meditate mindfully…get it out of your system anyway that’s appropriate for you.
Stay cool, Amanda. Rocketboom is my friends’ and my favorite things, we look forward to you getting back on your feet. Illegitimis nil carborundum.
dont know what to say, glad your alright. one of the disadvantages of living in a country where gun touting is legal… hope your well soon.
what goes around comes around Amanda, get better, regards Lee
Holy moly!
I don’t here much of that sort of thing up in Canada EH!
Must be the gun registration. (Yea Right)
well, I hope you’re alright.
so was she really robbed? or this just the equivalent of a “gone fishing” sign?
We Love you Amanda!
Cant wait to see what today’s episode will bring. I hope you are ok and my heart goes out to you.
Glad to hear you are ok. Will be great to see you smiling face again soon or atleast a frowning one telling this jackass off. :) Good luck and chillax.
Hope all is well, hope to see you back soon! Enjoy your show!
so did this really happen?
i question
Er… Not to like, rush or anything, but I’m sure many of us are expecting an update… We just wanna know you’re good & all.
TeraLink Was Here!
amanda and all at RB: best wishes and healing white light being sent your way by all of your supporters across the planet…you are in our thoughts and hearts…take care.
as for:
“rocketboom” and “skeptic” - why do you even question the veracity of this message? are you afraid to show some sympathy for another human being lest it be misplaced? and so what if it is, are you really that insecure?
OMG! I hope you are ok and well now.
Holding a lady at gunpoint….. I hope this guy will get arrested.
I am a new fan of Amanda’s work and find her to be very entertaining and extremely funny. I am so glad she is fine. I hope they catch the bastards.
Hug your cat, Hug Mario, Hug Andrew and give yourself a hug…and maybe eat some pizza…that should get rid of some stress…glad your ok
No physical harm done? Amanda is tough, i hope they didn’t steal her glasses!
Could have turned out way way worse…
Holy @#$@!$ Amanda,
Hope the police get the punk. And I hope you are doing fine.
T.
Very sorry to hear about your misfortune. Hope you were not hurt, hope you are in good spirits.
I and my children look forward to seeing you every day.
From Tami: It’s a very scary thought, and I’m sorry it happened to you. Feel better.
P.S.: I love your show.
From Michelle: Take as much time as you need to get over your traumatic experience. We’ll wait anxiously for your return.
Love and hugs,
Kricheff family
I’ve never been throught that but I can imagine that you must have been really scare. I hope you are awsome and we really love you and your show is one of my favorite and I am looking forward of having you back.Next time carry peper spray with you at all times.
That brought tears to my eyes.
Amanda,
I’m so sorry you had to get shaken up like that. Look at all of us who are grateful that you are unhurt. At least physically. Be nice to your wonderful self.
Krista
Hi, This is probably a good time to tell how much I apreciate your work. I hope Amanda is well and not too intimidated to continue… All the best and good luck!
WTF !!!!!!!!!! The last thing you that I think you want right now is advise and not knowing the circumstances on my part. But I hope you only carried money and not your Social Security Card or more then 1 credit card. Identity thief SUCKS. I wish you well and offer my prayers. If you need protection buy pepper spray. It works except when a gun is pointed at you. Smart move to give up the purse ?? Wallet. You are alive and thats the only thing that matters. Everything else is replaceable.
Amanda,
We hope you’re hanging in there after going through such a traumatic event. Big hugs from both of us and we’ll look forward to seeing you when you’re ready.
Amanda, I’m thinking of you and what you have been through. I’m so glad that you are ok. I’ll se you again when you are ready. Take care, we all love you.
Im so happy you are not hurt !
I hate it when this kinda shit happens :(
Take care and take your time to get into the swing of things again
glad to hear that you are ok.
:)
Glad to see you’re ok, and as strong as ever! Keep on smiling!
come to our martial arts class @ http://www.wtny.com for one week free, if you want.
We’re with you Amanda. Sorry to hear you had this kind of experience. It shouldn’t be . I lived in NYC for 13 years and managed to be lucky in this regard. (unless you count the time John Gotti whacked that guy outside Sparks Steakhouse while I was …oh forget that). Just take it easy for a few days. Maybe think about a rent controled apartment in Queens… No just take it easy. Thanks for Rocketboom. You’re a treasure.
Whew! It was a relief to see your smiling face again today. I hope some of your clever friends and admirers can come up with a way to make NYC safer. I’d like to bring family on a visit to NYC.
Amanda, I’ll walk you home from now on if you like. No joke. It would be an honor…
Wishing you all the best in your recovery from this trauma. Be safe. Be well. May justice be served quickly and painfully on this individual.
Hey Amanda,
I live in South Africa and usually I always hear this type of thing only happens here. I have had it happen many times to friends and family.
You hang in there babe we all here for you.
Carlos
My thoughts are with you
