What's really funny about the note? It offers no advice, no nothing. Just someone so amused and perplexed by the size of your balls or the lack of brain function this morning that they had to offer commentary. Just too funny. :lol:

Sounds about right... and just for the record, I thought I could make it over

No thought is irrational to the person having the thought. ;) That's a scary thought, when you consider some of the crazy stuff people do. But it's true nonetheless.

ACS?! You guys used to kick our butts at basketball and softball. We got kicked out of your school in the middle of one of our guys basketball games my junior year because you paid off the refs and played like jerks. I played girls varsity, and your team was nasty. So my best friend and I had a lot of fun bringing the punishment on your arses. ;) I had my dual residency cuz step-dad was a brit and I lived there for so long. It was nice to be on the NHS and go to the doctor whenever for whatever. Even birth control is free over there. Here it's an arm and a bleeding leg! I miss London, and England. My favorite thing to do was jump in my mini (yup, first car was a mini) and take off down the B roads all over the countryside and see what I could find. I like to get lost and then find my way again. Enjoy your time there Josh, it'll fly by faster than you'd like. :( Ah, memories.

Don't go there anymore... I graduated in '06 and have been on a gap year... Going to Richmond(near Kingston) university in a few weeks...
Oh, I also have a mini... bmw version though..

That is not much of an angle on the car....looks almost head on. Was there any damage to the car? Hopefully not.

I was so freaked out when I woke up because I've been told ghosts in dreams are real ghosts trying to communicate. This was not a nice ghost. Whether other people believe it or not, I don't care. I know that my house is haunted. It's one of the oldest houses in my town, and I've seen and heard stuff that's too ooky to mention. I've had dreams about fighting bad ghosts off and on my whole life. It's just been a while since it happened (the last dream like this) and I wasn't ready for it.

Now that the whole world thinks I'm batshiyat insane...

Me thinks that we now have another story teller for the beddy bye time stories. I like to hear ghost stories....you can begin with your first encounter...please....​proceed.

Doesn't look much of an angle, but that's cuz I tried to push it out and F'd up the angle.

You really want me to do this here? It touches on a lot of weird stuff. I'm out for a few hours, galavanting around town. Maybe all day, who knows. I'll check back later and see if you'd be willing to swap stories so I'm not the only crazy one posting them. ;)

Can't find the photos now but I have some good shots of a Ford F150 up to its axles in mud. Took forever to get someone to pull us out as we were about a mile from the nearest road and on the wrong side of a creek.

I also badly scratched up an almost new Nissan Titan (about 300 miles on it). I felt bad but it was a rental and we'd paid for the insurance. We were driving in a fairly hilly area, I got stuck, and figured no problem, just slap it in 4WD. Oh crap (or similar more colorful words) I say as I discover they only gave me a 2WD, person behind the counter wasn't listening as we'd specified 4WD. Only way out was down a steep, tree covered hill. Tree branches + shiny new paintwork = bad.

So if all you did was get stuck its a good day. It only gets really bad when it involves another vehicle or an injury. Anything else is just a lesson. :)

Haha, reps fault. They never listen when people go to rent cars. My father experienced the same....he reserved a car, Pontiac Grand Prix. When he got to the rental desk, rep says your all taken care of, take this to the booth outside. He and I get to the booth and the attendant says, pick any SUV along the fence. SUV?? WTF happened to the car? Anyway, my father ended up getting more for his money as the SUV is always more to rent here than a car.

Dad was Uber pissed as I made him quit golf early to come pull me out... Yup lesson learned... dig a path BEFORE trying to break in to an unsecured facility

Becky, you sound like you have dreams like my wife. She gets fairly vivid dreams, either from watching a little too scary on TV (she used to get a lot from watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer mostly, sometimes a horror movie) or from something that would trigger a memory from her time in the Army (she had a less than positive experience there, and if you read Doonsbury from this week (July 16-21), you'd get a bit of an idea of what she went through sometimes.
