He's A Fighter

Player: ALIxCANTxWIN
Its Tuesday the 2nd of September 2008 I am sitting here playing bingo relaxing talking to my friends and my cat (gismo) who I knew was expecting kittens any day now came walking in from the garden and as i look down I see her and I look and look again and I see that all of a sudden she is very skinny. OH MY GOD she has had her kittens oh no where are they?????? I instantly go out side as I know they are not in the house or I would have heard them. gismo at this point is following me and im saying to her where are your babies gismo show me and she just looks at me as if im mad. The weather out side is very cold and very wet as it is pouring with rain and has been all day now i am worried so I climb over my back gate as it is fully locked to stop my kids getting out of it. Up and down the alley I was listening and looking not knowing where they are and what could be wrong with them in this nasty winter weather. I thought what do I do she is not showing me where they are so I decided to give her some time and come back indoors and watch her every move to see when she goes out there to them. She went out with out me knowing where she has gone now what do I do???? I sit in my garden in the pouring rain and wait for her to come back!!!!! 2 hours later there she comes walking down the garden lol the little monster. at this point I have my 4 kids out there with me wanting to help me find them but it is too noisy so there is no chance of me hearing them so we just have to wait and she still is not wanting to show me where they are all she wants is some food and drink.. She did not know how much danger her babies were in this weather.. 2 hours later she is going out again now lets see I will go over the fence again to see where she is going (walking up and down the alley way) I hear something OMG is that her kittens I hear???? Yes it is hooray I have found them but I can't get in the garden so I ask my son to go round and knock on the front door and ask for them to let us in their garden as I can see 1 of them but can hear more. I'm in the garden and I found one small black kitten but he is very cold and very wet my neighbour gives me a box with a blanket in it and I place him in but where are the others??? It took us another 20 minutes to find another 5 all huddled together soaking wet and cold but one of them looked as if he was already dead im upset as I didn't want this. we took them all indoors and put them all in the cat basket with mum apart from the 2 that were really bad and we sat with them wrapped in a blanket for an hour rubbing them and warming them up as they were stone cold. The weak one didn't have the strength to feed so we had to put him on mum's teat and squeeze the milk from her to feed him and he started to take the milk but we don't think he is going to pull through. 2 hours later he is lying with his mum and his brothers and sisters and he is fighting. The first 24 hours are going to be hard. I sat there all night watching them all and he seems to be fighting well and feeding. it is now 5 days later and we still have 6 kittens who are very, very lucky they were found and that we put in all the hard work to help them get warm and give them all that they needed. This story could have been so different but we were not going to rest until we found them as they needed to be found before night time got close so I made it in my power to find them in time. The little one who was very close to death we have decided to keep lol and we have called him lucky. As they say cats have nine lives well I think this little kitten used up all nine of them and still kept going very strong. He is a fighter...

G-STRING

Not so sure if this is as funny as I think it is so here it goes. The beginning of the summer was really hot and came fast, so I really didn't have time yet to get the hubby some swimming trunks yet. We got a big tree cut down and i got the deck and pool ready just in time for the heat wave... forgetting all about swim wear for hubby. I was in the pool most of the day as it was in the high 80's, my bathing suit has g-string bottoms... hubby came home from work and was hot after working out in the heat all day. He asked where his swimming trunks were, ooops forgot to get some... he was a little upset with that. Next thing i know out the back yard he comes with his fruit of the loom underwear with the butt cut out on both sides for his butt cheeks.... lol he said there MY G-STRING bathing suit!! I howled the rest of the evening and he kept them on too!! I still laugh about it....i promptly went out the next day and got him swimming trunks!!!!

Room 101

Player: shalize
I would like to send in my worst and funniest holiday story: Edwin, my hubby, was attending a conference in London and staying at a very smart hotel. I travelled down to London from Birmingham on the Friday. I was to join him for the conference's closing dinner/dance. And we should stay there for a few days.

When I arrived, Edwin was still in a meeting so I introduced myself to the receptionist and asked for the number of Mr Janssen's room. I was duly given the number and the key and I took the lift to the 3rd floor. I wanted to freshen up and be ready for Edwin when he arrived back. I unpacked, popped my night-dress under the bedcovers, showered and got ready for the evening.

Time passed and I became concerned that he hadn't arrived back and I was worried as to whether they would make the dinner on time. By 8pm I rang reception to ask if Edwin was in the bar; and was told that he had gone to his room some 2 hours earlier.
'What room?' I spluttered to the receptionist.
'Room 101, on the first floor', answered the girl politely.
'But I'm in room 307,' I exploded in consternation.
'Oh dear,' said reception,' that must be another Mr Janssens room!'

Just as I grabbed my belongings the door opened and a strange guy looked surprised at me. I had not much clothes on... I was waiting for my man, haha! Oh my god, only this could have happened to me. I explained the situation, and run out of the room dashed down to room 101. I forgot, of course, to remove my night-dress. What a surprise for the other mister and I hope not misses on returning to the room.....

Demanding Mummy

Player: Sodababe11
Hi there I remember one summer which was literally painful and unpleasant for me. It was school holidays and I had not had a holiday in years so the children and I decided to go down to the coast. So we packed up our stuff and drove there.

The next morning we all woke up excited and happy that the sun was out and shining warmly, we packed a light lunch and off we went to the beach. Put on sun block for the kids and forgot about me, but I thought no problem I sit under the umbrella and I will be fine and it was still early so there would be no danger. Well, the only part of my body that was not cover by the umbrella was my legs, and sure enough you guessed it, legs had become red roar and swollen. The next week of our holidays was just great, I spent this time in bed while the kids did all the cleaning and cooking and they looked after me. After I got better the kids advised me that they don't ever want to go on holidays to the beach with me again. I asked them why not, because mummies you are too demanding, "Do this", "get me this", "can I have this". What you think we are your servants? Well, I was so shocked and told them now you know how I feel all the time.

Hungry Bear

Player: JusRayasNana
I have a memorable story, from last summer, my hubby and i were preserving beets and we do this outside due to the mess of the beet juice. It was a hot summer day and was mid morning. We had just finished peeling the beets and then boiled the beets for the time required. We both filled the jars with the cinnamon sticks and cloves etc. The aroma of the ingredients was overwhelming and made one hungry. Unfortunately, we were not the only ones who thought so as well. With our backs turned to the backyard, I heard a snorting sound and I turned around to see what it was and it was a black bear, probably 2 years old, who was about 25 feet from us and he was slowly moving towards us and our work area. We did not panic but adrenaline was running but we just looked at each other with our eyes big as round and open and picked up what we could and entered the house very quickly. We had 8 jars of beets on a tray which were very, very hot and didn't have the lids on them yet and the cats were in the door entrance from inside the house and as my husband opened the door and tried to push the cats away as well, the 8 jars of beets landed straight into our navy blue furniture. As I started to clean up beet juice the bear was at the back deck licking up spills of sugar, and juice and had his face in the garbage eating the peels from the beets. Im not sure the beets were worth it as my navy blue furniture took a beating. (no pun intended) Bears visit us frequently but never have we been that close. Was that summer memorable, yes, some may even say a bad one!!

Fire!

Player: Bingochicka
I wanted to share my worst summer vacation story with you that happened during my summer holidays in July 2008. On July 20, during a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon, our house burned down because of faulty electrical wiring in the basement. It has become one of our worst experiences ever. My husband and I have a beautiful 4 year old daughter and we are expecting a son in early November so, I cannot stress that this is not a great time for us. Thankfully we have insurance, but it is the loss of our cherished baby pictures, souvenirs and items that we grieve the most. I was in the process of preparing the nursery and hanging baby clothes when it happened. I am truly thankful that we are all safe and sound but being away from our home is very hard on all of us. My daughter misses her home and her toys and I hope that this event will not affect her too much in her life. The house will be rebuilt, but we will most likely not return to our home until after Christmas.

I Did It My Way

Player: LauraCanada
Most of the players and chat host are well aware that I have a condition called agoraphobia it is a condition that makes me home bound and for the past 10 years I have been trying to overcome this condition. I want to be able to take my children places and do things with them I want to feel somewhat normal and be the best Mother I can be. Well at the beginning of the summer I kept on saying I wanted to rent a cottage and take my kids on a trip somewhere that was quiet but somewhere they would have the time of their lives. Well I won a couple of JP's in May which I have to say gave me plenty of money to do this so all I needed was the strength and the encouragement to do it. I have to admit there are a couple of people in the chat that always gave me kind word and so much encouragement and that really helped me. Well sorry to say the cottage never happened but this is what did happen. I have 5 kids 3 beautiful girls and 2 boys two of which are teenagers and sometimes can be very demanding lol like all teenagers. Every year my boyfriend's family has an annual corn roast which is a huge deal lots and lots of people games fun times but I have never make it for the past 4 years since I have met him. I never went. Well this summer started off different we started going for small walks, working in the yard and then we made it to a small beach which for me was a huge break through then we made it again and again!!! I for the first time in 10 years have an amazing tan!!! I lost 40 pounds over the summer and that in it's self made me feel amazing. But the most special thing was when we where packing up for our trip 300km from my home to go to my boyfriends annual corn roast!!! My kids where more then just excited this is something they never thought that we would do as a family let alone get me so far away from what I call my safety net prison my house!!! So we got on the road and headed east for what should have been a three hour ride turned into a 7 hour ride because we stopped in all the little cities on the way so that my kids could take pictures and shop. When we got there I was so nervous but after a few drinks well lets say some people may never hear the same!! (((I will never make it as a singer)))) But it was amazing!! The kids played games with other kids they got too sleep in tents I got kicked out of the tent for singing lol but it was so much fun and I am so looking forward to next year already!!! I got to actually live my life. SO as far a summer vacation goes this entire summer was one huge vacation it was one that I will always hold close to my heart but even better my children will have this summer for the rest of their lives. The summer that they got too go to Quebec see the parliament buildings the CNT tower this was the summer that there mother got better and decided to live again!!! I hope that next summer we can top this summer but it would be really hard to do that!!!!!!!!

Exposed Elements

Player: fairypye
This summer I went on holiday to Germany camping. Adjoin the campsite was a lake so I decided to take up an offer to water ski on the lake. However, while skiing I fell and caught my wetsuit on the ski. Yes you can imagine it ripped open and I was very exposed to the elements of how nature created me, lol. To cap it all off I then cut my knee open and banged my head. Instead of a helping hand I was confronted with the skipper just laughing, but I must admit I must have been quite a sight and did join in the laughter with tears in my eyes. I eventually did get back into the boat but discovered that most of my body was naked - how embarrassing!!! Never the less all was well in the end and I had only minor injuries.

Always Check Your Alone!

Player: minxymurphy
Whilst on our summer holiday this August in La Manga, Spain, my husband took the children off to play some golf leaving me in our secluded villa all alone. Right I thought, time for a bit of naked sunbathing as there is nobody around. So I poured myself a large gin and tonic, picked up the book I was reading and settled myself on a sun-bed. It was total bliss. Slowly I started to doze off, putting my book down, I gently fell into a restful slumber. I awoke suddenly sensing I was no longer alone. Covertly opening my eyes I was horrified to discover a man cleaning the swimming pool! Help, what do I do now? Firstly, I didn't know how long he had been there, and secondly, I had no idea how long he would take to finish cleaning the pool. What do I do now? Streak pass him into the villa, or just lay there pretending I was still asleep? Arghh, if I get up and run he will see all my wobbly bits!! OK I decided I will just stay put. It seemed like hours, but it was probably only another 5 minutes until he left. When I recounted the tale of my unexpected visitor to my husband he just roared with laughter, not one slight sign of sympathy!! Umm a lesson learnt, though I did sunbathe again naked, I always made sure it was after the pool had been cleaned. The rest of the holiday passed without a repeat incident.

Holiday Romance

Player: WeeMegz07
I was expecting a nice relaxing lazy holiday to Turkey; with the parents, little brother and my aunt, just an excuse to lie by the pool, get a tan and not get overly drunk in a 5 star all inclusive hotel. Well that was the plan, first day went according to plan, it was the second day that went completely wrong. We were in the hotel night club when I locked eyes on an attractive Turkish choreographer, at first I was shy, a little unconfident, then we danced. After him putting me to shame on the dance floor we talked and arranged to meet the next night at the night club. I lay awake all night thinking about his lovely brown eyes, his cheeky smile and of course his amazing dance moves. Laying by the pool with my sunglasses on, i secretly glanced his direction at the animation booth, consuming every sight I got of him to make sure he wasn't just a dream. Eating dinner, thinking about what I would wear, how I would do my hair, what I would say, first date nerves started kicking in. Dancing nervously on the dance floor, jealous of his talking with other holiday makers, waiting patiently, he came to me. Walking outside, we finally chose a seat overlooking the bay, the stars glazing, the music playing in the background we talked about random things. Coincidently it was the night of a meteor shower, so there was what looked like dozens of shooting stars, with hills shimming with lights, it was the ideal place to be sat with a man. When he put his arm around my shoulder, I melted inside. It was getting late, and the gentleman that he was, took a hold of my hand and walked me to my hotel room, giving me peck on the cheek and walking away, promising to see me tomorrow. Again lying in bed, waiting for the sight of him again. By the pool, dangling over the edge cooling down, he sneaks behind me an throws me in, showing his cheeky smile again walking off, blowing a kiss. My thoughts were on him, not so much about a tan and trying to impress everyone back home, but more for impressing him. That night at the night club, he came up behind me hugging me and startling me with a kiss on the cheek, we went on the same walk as the night before, talking to me again about more random things, the previous jobs he had, his family, where he was from. Over the next couple of nights we had the same routine. On the fifth night, I had had a drink too many and was a little more confident than normal, and when he was walking me home, instead if a kiss on the cheek, he held my chin and cupped my face towards him, gazing into his eyes, he slowly moved forward, kissing me lightly on the lips, I felt an electric sensation, an unfamiliar feeling as he walked away. The next day, confused and curious I tried to play him at his own game, tried to play hard to get, but one look and I melted. Knowing it was not to last I tried not to get too close to him that night, but I couldn't, when he held out his hand to me, I told it without a second thought. But choosing a different place to sit, the amphitheatre, he told me he would miss me when I went home, and that he would like to see me again. Knowing this could never be, I filled him with false hope, and myself with disappointment, I agreed to come back and see him. That night when he walked me back to my hotel room, we kissed and tears fell down my cheeks. Wiping them away and giving him my number I walked away, knowing this would be the last time I saw him. I was filled with an unknown emptiness and a feeling a never expected to be going home with. I should have remembered it was only a holiday romance, but a girl can do little but hope that someday i might meet this perfect man once again.

The Hidden Bag

Player: ONE2G0
I think the funniest thing that has ever happened in my family was a few years ago. My dad is the chef in the family, and he always cooks Sunday dinner. Well, my mother insisted on cooking that year (bad idea but my dad went along with it.) Anyhow, something didn't smell right all morning and that afternoon. Finally, as everyone was sitting down to dinner, my dad couldn't get past the smell. Nobody knew what it was. My dad searched the kitchen but couldn't find the source. He was frustrated, so he sat down and looked like he was concentrating on trying to figure out what the smell was. And all of a sudden, he looked at my mom with his eyes real wide and said, "honey, did you take the bag out of the Turkey.

Bomb On Board

Player: Dawn205
Our family holiday Dawn205, Emma205, and Laura205 We were all looking forward to our holiday Dawn, Emma, Laura and families, 2 weeks all inclusive in Egypt. The first night we were booked into a lovely hotel near the airport. The next day we set out for the airport in high spirits, the flight was on time but approx 2 1/2 hrs later there was an announcement, this is your captain speaking "please fasten your seatbelts I have a very serious announcement to make, we have been informed that there is a bomb on board and we need to make an emergency landing but we require permission to land". There was a deadly silence then people started crying hysterically, people were shouting I don't want to die, I don't want my children to die, and the tension was horrendous not knowing if we were going to be blown out of the sky at any minute. Someone then pointed out the window, there were two jets flying along side! (How naive was I thinking they had come to help us) When in fact they were there to blow us out of the sky rather than let the bomb go off over civilian territory. After 45minutes of sheer terror Italy allowed us to land, we were rushed of the plane not allowing us to take any of our belongings with us and to be greeted by the Italian military, all with machine guns and every person was searched. We were then taken to the nearest airport and left outside for the next 7 hours while the plane was searched. We were then taken back to the same plane to continue our journey to Egypt but whom really new how safe it was. We eventually arrived at our destination to find out that it was a sick hoax (some joker had wrote on a sick bag that there is a bomb on board!!!). We arrived to glorious weather, hotel like a palace perhaps now we could enjoy our holiday! But 2 days later disaster struck again as one after the other we went down with deli belly that was to stay with us till after our return to England. It was sure one family holiday we will never forget but for all the wrong reasons, though this has not put us off and we will be planning another holiday soon, one we can all remember for the good times.

Shoe Love

Player: dial411
My summer was funny but strange.
I own a dog that I love and adore very much.
He's my baby. I was dropping him off to a neighbours place for a few days. Not a problem dropped him off and went to work. I was pulling a double shift. On my way to work I got pulled over by the police. Just doing their regular routine check. My wallet was gone from my purse. Thought that was strange. I normally don't forget things like that. So I got out of the car and started to search in the back seat. The officer say please you have 24 hours to produce it. Then he started to laugh at me. It turns out my dog had been playing with my shoes again. I had on 2 different pairs. All summer long he's been hiding 1 from the pair. Thought I had on a matching pair. The officer laughed so hard when I told him. my cell phone rang it was my neighbour my dog had my wallet and wouldn't let go of it. I think he missed me. So for the rest of the summer I was stuck wearing odd shoes I couldn't afford another pair.

A True Wish

Player: Lucky_green2
As you sit by the water side wondering, why are we here? You look at the sun set then look behind you and see the family you have created. I was told I had breast cancer in 2006. It makes me sit and wonder a lot why do we put our bodies through this. My mother died of cancer at the age of 38 and here I am in my early 40's. Knowing this is what life brings you, when you continue to bring life into this world. It hurts and makes me angry at this world knowing we will never beat any cancer out there no matter how good someone’s knowledge maybe be. I have spent lots of time with doctors in and out of treatment this summer. I was given till August 16th 2007 to live. That destroyed me more deep down inside. I have children for I am scared as a single mom and not knowing if you're children will ever be safe in this world with out you. My birthday was on August 25th and I had only one wish to make. For my had come true for I am still here. Please note never take life for granted.

Young Again

Player: alleyne111
I really can't afford to play for real money. I am 75 years old. I have had 3 heart attacks over the summer. I thought the last one I had I was a goner for sure. So before the third heart attack I gave all my kids their money and everything I could just to make sure there where no problems. So the computer lessons my daughter has given me in last few years has paid off for me. I don't feel so alone. When I have money to play party bingo I feel so young and feel like nothing can stop me from living. Even if I don't have money its nice just to say hi to everyone on the gaming site. The chat host are amazing. Everyone makes me laugh and also gives me a whole new family. My favourite chat game is 3 legged race. Makes me feel like I can race you to the end of the earth and back again. Its amazing how well and young I feel when I'm with my family playing bingo. I end up laughing because there is no medicine better out there than laughter. I love being young again.

Hide N Seek

Player: no_peaking
Well you know when you have children and they love to play games. Well my kids with many of their friends where playing hide and seek. So I thought I would join in with them. Which I did. It was my turn to hide and a bad spot I picked. I crawled under a bush that I tried to hide in. Well as I was doing that I felt something soft like clay. So I wiped my hands all over myself. being a good sport I continue to play. No matter what no one was going to find me there. So has I tried to make it back safely to home, some yelled something stinks. I was like no you can't smell that you almost 10 feet away from me. They could and they did smell it. It was pooh of some sort. I kneeled in it and sat in it but to top it all off I was wet. Thought it was from the bush. It wasn't I got sprayed by a baby skunk. Never saw him but a few kids saw me leave the bush and a few seconds later was the skunk. Kids were laughing and having so much fun with this. I said I will never play hide and seek ever again. Just my luck they have it on video.

Beautiful Hair

Player: o_u_t_2222
I have grown my hair for many years. So it is very very long. Well at least it was till this summer. I spent most of my summer away in another province. Was enjoying my summer till one night I had to go to the store. I was going to drive but decided to walk. It’s a very long dark road. About every 25 feet is a lamp post. So my cousin and I where walking. Telling ghost stories trying to freak each other out. You can't spoke the spoke. I am to good at what I can do to spoke people. We got onto the topics of what bats can do. I had always believed a bat could get tangled in your hair. So I did some research. Is says its all a myth. Lets just say is not a myth. We had come to a lamp post and my cousin said there's something in your hair. I said no there isn't. She said yes there is. Believe it or not it was a bat. Its was - caught in around my neck area of the hair. What is so spooky is I didn't even feel it. Now my hair is so short I could die.

Special Wedding

Player: june202
This summer was amazing. I was at my niece's wedding. We had it in my brother’s back yard. My niece is 22 years old. She was 8 1/2 months pregnant. Her wedding day should be one to remember. I was one of the bride maids. It was amazing. There where about 150 people. The music played the bride goes down the isle. Her husband soon to be is all excited. He's amazed how wonderful she looks. The minister begins. The bride and the groom both say I do. The groom is told he may kiss the bride. Just then you hear the bride scream in pain. She falls to the floor where she is now in labor. Right there in the back yard she gave birth to a baby boy named Gus. He was born on their wedding day. They had names picked out but he wasn't due till September 5th. So because he was August 25th 2007. They took the name GUS from with in the word August. Even though life is a miracle it was amazing to be there to help. My niece wouldn't let anyone help her but me. I was calm cool and collective. People where just running around like crazy. I've have children of my own but its amazing to be there to help one into the world. I know it was a miracle for me and a moment I will never forget.

Summer Memories

Player: uplifted1
When I was younger(in far distant past) it was the school holidays. if we where going out our mother would make sure all our clothes where clean neat and ironed. She would drive us nuts make sure you have clean undies on you never know if you get hit by a car you may end up in hospital. You know how mothers are. Well one day we where going into the city. She was fussing around getting all 4 of us dressed making sure we all looked just right. Then we where ready to go. there she was pushing us out the door she didn't want to miss the bus.
My sister was saying mum mum! Mum took no notice. A bit farther down the road once again my sister "mum MUM! by this time my brother and i had caught on to what she was trying to tell mum and we where in hysterics laughing. Oh what is it? asked mum/ Sister asked her with a dead pan face "Don't you think you should have put a dress or a blouse and skirt on before you stepped out the door?" Mum with all her fussing had forgotten to get dressed herself and she was in her petticoat and undies. She ran home and wouldn't go outside for days she was so embarrassed. And for punishment for not telling her we had to spring clean our rooms.

It Could Have Been Worst

Player: its5aces2win
My summer had to be the worst. I lost so many things. It was like a memory failure of some sort. I would get up every morning get ready for work. Go to work forget my rollers in my hair. My skirt stuck into my panty hose. When work is done I can't find where I have left my car. Spend an hour looking. Its like someone has been out to confuse me or tease me. I go to check my mail and get back into my elevator and dropped my keys down the elevator shaft. Had to pay $300 to get them back or wait 2 months for the repair guy to come around. I think the summer heat got to me or being over worked and under paid. LOL!!! What else is new? To my cat to the vet and groomer forgot her there. Thought I needed a break from everything went to the beach and fell asleep and got burned real bad. I could of been part of a lobster family. No matter what I went to do I would forget something. My husband was so surprise I didn't forget him. Glad for all the stuff I forgot to do or have left behind, I didn't burn my apartment down. I went to the bank teller to get cash out from my account and had walked away and left the money on the counter. The lady was so nice to bring it to me. Moments like this I wish I was small enough to hide under a rock. I drove my self crazy with this all summer but when I think back it has become very funny. So let see did
I forget all this stuff because I was over worked or because people see me as a true blond. I'm sure people have done worst.

Family Bliss

Player: GOGO22222
Many years ago I gave birth to 17 kids. A few of my kids died of car accidents, natural causes. So I was left raising some of their kids. Don't get me wrong I love it. They are very helpful. No hard times are given, they do what they have to do. I know just like when I raised my kids I had contol of my house hold. Still got it. I love them like they where my own. I love it when summer comes cause everyone is off to camp. I get 3 whole weeks to myself. In that time I get to casino. Go to quilt making contests. Its hard to do all this when you're raising kids. You can't drag them to this sort of stuff. Not like years ago. So this year I went to Ireland to see family and do the quilt contest there. I placed 3rd. I really enjoy it. The weather was perfect. Went to 2 different casino and lost but most of all I enjoyed my trip. Couldn't wait to get back. I missed the kids but needed a break. Also I couldn't afford alot there. So it was great to be home. When I got home my 3rd oldest daughter wass there with all the grand kids. They had a wellcome back party for me. My cake read welcome back grandma and please don't leave us again. We need you here forever. So many tears of joy.

Lonely Summer

Player: freeze1911
Well earlier this year. I lost my wife, my oldest son and daughter in a car accident. They where killed by a drunk driver who was also speeding. So my summer was spent working very long hours trying to catch up on bills. I thought when you have insurance on things it takes care of any bills that any of them had left behind. It didn't do such a thing. I just got all 3 of them burried in july. It spoke me ever minute they where in the house. I'm glad I was able to afford them the place they needed to be so they may rest in peace. See when my wife was alive she took care of all that. I know nothing. Ask people for help and they take advantage. So my summer was totally lost. No camping no family vacations. Nothing! Spent every waking minute at work. Almost at one point was ready to take on a second job. I was able to play the odd time on these gaming sites. Just missed so much. Missed the moon light walks. Romantic nights on the beach. I am so lost and don't know what to do next. My best friend is gone. My youngest son moved out a month ago. So now I am more lost then ever. My son says dad get out and find someone new. The little sneak tried so hard all summer long to fix me up with women after women. Sure he tried but I am just not ready. So its been a long painful summer. This will never leave me.

Worst trip of this summer 2007

Player: Samira74
My brother wanted to go to the cruise and asked me and my hubby go with him.So we decided to go to cruise all 3 of us together.I booked in all of us nice relaxing cruise.
Then came the day we have to go;
First we have to drive about 135 kilometres to the harbor and i drove of course.Guys wanted to drink beer and start relaxing.i needed rest from babycaring too.
All went good and we got safely to ship.
First we checked our cabin,it was small but we didnt care about that.Then we go eat something and ships store buy some cider and vodkamixer.We went our cabin and sat there,talk and drink cider and vodkamixer.We were having funtime.
We noticed that there was a lot of ppl from other countries.Not so usual.
Then we went nightclub and sit there and watching band playing and ppl dancing.We have really good time.Only thing there was bad is that we couldnt smoke there,we have to go smokingplace which was small smoky room.
During night we ran there with my hubby smoking.And allways my brother waited us in the bar.
Last time we went to smoke together,alltough we didnt know it was last time.
There was some foreigner guy and some girls with him.Hubby asked that guy if he come from china and he said no.He was weird other ways.So hubby continue to talk those girls,other was from vietnam and other from finland.He talked with finnish girl about that ship and so on...Suddenly that guy from vietnam throw all his beer on my hubby.Thank god i was sitting there back about 5 meters away from them.Then vietnam guy attacked on my hubby and next he attacked on me.There was some guys who tried to help us,but they couldnt.There came 6 or 7 more guys from vietnam and attacked us.They broke my hand totally and then they try to kill hubby.They hit him with trashbox to head several times and kicking him and hitting.And i couldnt do nothing cause so bad pain in my arm.When there was blood all over and hubby lost ... they ran away.I ran after them and try to find security person from ship,but no. Finally some1 find 2 persons from ship help us.They took my hubby to ships careroom and i went to get my brother who sat in nightclub waiting us(he didnt know nothing about fighting and what happened).He gets really angry when he saw what happened to us and couldnt believe his eys.
Ships nurse take care of hubby and put some glue to his head,there was 6cm long bad mark.He looks like monster.He got so many scars in head and handmarks in neck too.Cause they try to strangle him.They couldnt do nothing to my shoulder in there ship,so they said "go to hospital".Omg i was thinking,we are Estonia and i never been hospital there.So my brother and i went to hospital and they take x-ray pictures from my hand and put it to bondage.they did it cause i was forbidded to use my right arm at all. Then finally we could get back to ship and clock was allready 05:45 am.We knew that we have to go to town 07:30am.So we couldnt sleep at all. Funniest thing was that they put my hubby to shipsjail with that vietnamguy.And we got him out 07:15.
Then we have to spend all day in Tallinn and we looked like we were been on war.It was really hard day there ,9 hours walking around and trying to buy some clothes to daughter and trying to enjoy nice summer weather.
Finally time was enough we were able to go ship and start going back to home.
That was the worst trip ever.No relaxing at all.Only pain all over places.
Been so many times on cruises and never even seen this kind of thing happened there.
Its our luck =o)

Unusual Fishing Trip

Player: blue_gumball
One day I thought I would surprise my wife by showing up at her work to pick her up. When I did she was surprised to see me. I do her the surprises weren't over with yet. So I took her out to dinner and thought after that we could go fishing. She loved the whole idea. That is what we did. We went to a place called bluffers park. We both walked around on large rocks trying to find the perfect place to fish. Sure enough we did find the so called perfect spot. LOL!!! About 15 - 20 minutes later I thought I could walk across some rocks that looked safe to do so. Oops I was wrong, they where wet. I feel into the lake and cracked my head off the rocks. My wife got so scared that she through my fishing rods into the lake trying to save me. I blacked out for a minute or two. My head was bleeding. I guess some people where offering help to get me to dry land and to a hospital. I think people where really wanting to help save me but where finding it funny. Where my wife is 5'3 in height and weighs 130lbs and where I'm 6'1 in height and weigh 280lbs she was dragging me out of the water. I really know she loves me and would never hurt me. I heard someone yell if you die we'll blame your wife because she couldn't lift you, she had to drag you. They where laughing. Well when she got me to dry land covered in blood, she wanted to take me to the hospital but I said no. I wanted to go back fishing. She said no then my body went into shock. Where I totaly agreed its time to go. We went home where she bandaged me up. I love her with all my heart and thank her everyday for saving my life. Even though I got to admit it was funny watching her get me out of the water. Now I owe her my life. I hope I won't spoked for anymore fishing outings. No fish where caught in that period of time.
