In my late teens I once played Russian Roulette with single action army in Uganda, I was UTI and young and stooooopid. You?

Wow, that's really dumb!

I know, stupid 17 year old me.

i was born strangled by my umbilical cord.

i think that's why purple is my favourite colour...

well, about 8 years ago now i was in the hospital up in michigan with the flu and phemonia (sp?). apparently i was pretty sick but because i wasnt getting enough oxygen in i was really kinda drunk feeling i laughed a lot, but my poor mother was told i may not live through the night.

not a real exciting story i know

well, I took some Extacy and had a really bad reaction. Felt like I might die. It affected me for a long time, and I think that particular drug is like Russian Roulette, so hey, young & dumb right?

i think it's kind of funny too, hakuna matata

My car got hit by an 18 wheeler on the highway. Totalled my car but only had a minor back injury.The way the car looked you wouldn't think anyone survived.

I saw Battlefield Earth in the theatre.

It's true. It's also the closest I've gotten to committing homicide, because I wanted to strangle the friend who forced me to see it with her.

Jeez... what a way to make an entrance.

when I was about 4 I was "swimming" with my floaties on, and they became loose and I went under...I still to this day remember going under, and seeing just headless bodies and feet under water, suddenly I felt someone grab me by my hair. My older cousin saved my life, thank god for my long ass hair.

i'm sayin...

I was sailing in a race on the Bay. We came around the lee side of Alcatraz Island and puff caught our spinnaker. Boat got knocked over, the cabin flooded faster than our pumps could handle and before you know it the boat was sunk. Water was HELLA cold and I had all my gear on but even with my PFD I was freezing to death. Lots of motorboats came to help but they didn't want to get too close for fear of fouling their props. By the time they hauled me out I was white as a sheet with bright blue lips. Couldn't feel a thing and I was suffering from advanced hypothermia. Another 5 minutes and I would've slipped into a coma...

Glad to be here, still...

I am glad you are ok.

oh yeah that reminds me
at 8 i was at a birthday party at a rec centre, and i was sitting on the side of the pool, and my friend's older brother pulled me in from underneath, he didn't know i couldn't swim.

it took a while before her mother came to rescue me

i still don't know how to swim - and that's why.

JuliePurplehead said:

That's awful!

sammij said:

And for this same reason I taught my kids to swim at a very early age. But I have a phobia of letting them go to kids swim parties without me. I am scared some dumb kid will try to rough house too hard..

PaisleyPark5083 said:

i was pissed
i cried for hours, and couldn't stop shaking
i get laughed at now for not knowing how to swim but all i can do is tell them that story

i can't help it, i get panic attacks and chest pains now if i can't have control while i'm in the water
usually now all i do is walk around the sides and float while holding on...

sammij said:

that is very traumatic indeed

I'm probably a reason why breech babies are rarely delivered vaginally.

My brother, who was 3 years old when I was born, used to love to show my broken arm off. He would tell people the doctor dropped me in the toilet.

Judgine by one of my client's breath today.....pretty close.
