'Morning all...
Remember your first car accident? Of course you do.
DD18s BF was over yesterday. Fed him supper then he headed home... about 45 minutes out of town. DW always tells him to text us when he gets there so we know he got home safely. Instead we get a text that he's in the ditch. Drive out there and holy crap! It's a skating rink out there! No wonder he spun off the road. Good news is, he's fine, but pretty shaken up. Granted it's a bit unnerving to be going down a highway at 60mph... backwards. Also good news, car slid off in the shallow snow and doesn't look like there's any damage other than two flats.
Guess who stayed the night?
Of course, but it wasn’t quite as “exciting” as that young’en’s experience.
I merely side swiped a concrete post at the blinding speed of about three mph (but I was driving with my dad’s truck at the time, so…). All “incidents” to which I’ve been party since then were other folks doing.
Glad he made it through in one piece.
Locked him in the basement I'm guessing.
I was wondering about that as well.
Glad everyone is ok. I was 16, I was too busy looking at the girl walking on the side walk and never seen the guy in the vw Rabit stop in front of me to turn left.lol I nailed that little golf cart! Lol I had a olds cutlass supreme, two door, you needed a ladder to get into the trunk I had the rear end lifted so high. Lol.
Not a scratch on the olds, his golf cart didn't fare as well. Lol
Well that’s a valid reason if ever I’ve heard one.
Interesting… my “second” incident was when a late 70‘s Cutlass piled into the back of my car while I was just sitting at a red light waiting for it to turn. The kid was adjusting the radio on his momma’s newish car at the time (not near as good an excuse). Too bad for him I was driving my first car; a 66 Impala. The front of the Cutlass looked like so much ground meat, but we’re pretty sure it didn’t even disturb the dirt on the back bumper of my “tank”.
I know it's coming but I'm not looking forward to the day when I have no say. My oldest is 16, so I still have a couple years...
Relative time…
It’s gonn’a seem like no more than a couple of months (if not weeks).
I was worried about the broken neck my dad was going to give me when I got home. He was pretty good about it and it taught me how to deal with it when Crash had her two accidents.
That’s how my folks were when I scraped up Dad’s truck.
Ma was just relieved that it was no more than that. They basically said something like: well good, now that you’ve got that out of your system, we should be able to stop worrying so much about you.
That’s pretty much the way it went when my boy bashed the fender on my car against the side of our garage many years later. I remember I was home at the time and heard the crunch. Poked my head out the back door and saw what had gone on. He asked: “Is it bad?” My response: “Well, it’s not good…”
He’s been far more careful since.
Top O the Mornin Dads! On the Disney front has anyone seen Zootopia, hear its really good, and how about
DCL gonna build 2 more ships?
Haven’t seen the film yet but I’d like to.
I did hear about DCL announcing two new ships.
I think there anticipating deliveries in 2021 and 2022 so it’ll be a while yet. Once they get up to six, I suspect that at least one of them will be spending a good deal of time in the Orient. That should make for some interesting itineraries; especially the transitioning ones.
