No, I was only hurt on the inside. I mean, emotionally, not internally. That was my first car. I had had it five years and going. I loved that thing. It was an '85 Blazer, deep blue color. *Sigh*...

For the delivery job, I had to borrow my Mom's car. She was none-too-thrilled.

[MozartLover]

She may not have been thrilled, but I can guarantee she was relieved that you were not injured.

Kids. Sheesh.

Always doing crazy things like wrecking cars & going off to war.:)

[tuliptree76]

Good job. Thanks!

[pcottraux]

When I had the wreck, Mom and Dad had left home. They were off somewhere at an appointment. Mom had her cell phone but I didn't know her number (she probably had it turned off anyway). So the officer had to drive me home and leave me there. Since I gave my keys to the towing people, I couldn't get into the house.

For many hours, I had to just sit there waiting.

When they finally got home, it was strange: it's like Mom was relieved I was okay while wanting to strangle me at the same time. And telling them I had been hired to a job was icing on the cake.

[pcottraux]

Oh, hey, tulip. How are you?

[MozartLover]

Oh, I am SO TOTALLY FAMILIAR with that feeling (wanting to hug your kid & strangle him at the same time.) It's the stuff that gray hairs are made of.

That must've been hard for you, sitting & waiting & knowing you had to deliver the news. Yikes.

I remember when my brother wrecked the family car. My Dad was so cool about it; didn't even yell or anything. My bro. walked away without a scratch & I think my Dad was just so relieved he didn't even care about the car; not only that, but he knew my brother was punishing himself with guilt anyway, so why pile on.

G'night pc, time for this old lady to get some sleep.:)

[pcottraux]

...he knew my brother was punishing himself with guilt anyway, so why pile on.

Man, I wish MY parents had that kind of philosophy!

Goodnight, MozartL. Sleep tight.

[tuliptree76]

I'm fine. How are you doing? :-)

[pcottraux]

I'll just answer on the singles thread.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Oh dear, not good.

Anyway, I'm off to bed - goodnight P!!

[pcottraux]

Nice talking, I_T.

[Nowhere Man]

Got your Freepmail but will answer tomorrow, I'm headed to bed soon and my thinking ability right now is a bit clouded and I have to collect my thoughts anyhoo. Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you that I'm thinking about it. B-) Plus my calico cat (born in 1987) is pestering me to feed her. B-)

[pcottraux]

I look forward to it.

[pcottraux]

What? No new posts?

I'm surprised at y'all.

Good job capturing the essence of Mrs. Bill Clinton.

One can truly feel the deranged megalomania emanating from Her Heinous and the zombie nature of her sycophants.

[pcottraux]

What's so surprising to me is what she can get away with. I mean, the press has never been friendlier to ANY politician before her. It's ominous. She could do anything with zero criticism (except from here, of course).

[pcottraux]

I guess I'd better get to slappin' this one on the archives.

The Enemedia is without shame. Barbara Boxer could set up a machine gun post outside her office and gun down every one in sight and the headlines would read.

"Senator Boxer proves nation needs stricter gun laws."
