The doctor looks at the cops, they leave, and then the doc tells me my mom was killed. Then I have to endure some questioning by the cops while in a state of shock. At that point, I'm lying in a hospital bed without any parents, and only one living blood relative left.


The threads over.

Back in college I had a huge crush on this fab chick:

Then after chasing her all quarter, I finally had the chance to take her out on a date.

By the time I woke up, I was 3 1/2 hrs late to pick her up

I was really disgusted at myself -- still am :disgust:

I don't know, the guys were never caught. I lived in a bad part of town where the blacks hated the whites and vice-versa. There were daily fights in high school, and we lost 5 kids from my graduating class to gang violence.

Mother got killed by a drunk driver.

Feb. 02, 1989. Day my dad died. I was 10.
I'm 27 now.
And in between, I've had:
accidents
broken bones
a mugging
threatened at gunpoint by an angry drunk
can't account for 5000 missing dollars
But I consider these a walk in the park compared to
Feb. 02, 1989.

The day my dad was going to commit suicide by pouring gasoline on himself and lighting himself on fire.

That sucked.

My worst day isn't even close enough to what some people posted here. So out of respect I'm not going to mention it here.

When my mother did a complete 180 on the failing relationship with my stepdad. Going from hating his guts for 4 weeks, kicking him out, being depressed and pissy. Then going to happy as hell and having him come back. Got an optical headache because of it, went blind... yadda yadda yadda.


Wont forgive her for the hell she put me through and the fact she didn't listen to me when I said it was a bad idea. I learned many things but the most important was: never ever betray your children.

Actually after reading through everything Sacrosanct is a true contender... though it's certainly arguable.

Disrespect certainly not intended.

The best and worst day was the day my little girl was born, best because I have a little girl. worst becuase I was soooo sick, I was on antibiotics, anti-histamines, and 2 different decongestants. I was told I(yes I couldn't remember much) walked out of my wifes delivery room (before she delivered) into the waiting are and collapsed on the floor. I doubt anyone has any idea what it feels like to be so sick you can't be happy on one of the proudest days of your life.
