Im going to be the first to call shens, based upon your history and threads.

Yes I just happened to make it up. You can call shens all you like. I'm not here to prove anything to MrCrusty.

I'm not asking you to, I'm just informing everyone else of my opinion.

Ok..
It's the Internet. You should question everything and all. Your tactics are like an annoying child in elementary school seeking for attention. "Hey everyone remember that time Roger pissed in his pants. yes yes I made a funny".
LoL, Have a nice day :)



The best part is watching react and cry like a baby. Thanks for a good laugh.

You want attention, make a thread dedicated to Aimster on off-topic. I've already given you this advice before. Trust me it will be a hit and you will be the king of off-topic. It will be an even bigger hit if you get that Syringer (spider) guy in there.
Go for it :)

I don't need all that attention, unlike you who obviously makes up stories to post in order to get attention. Think about it for a second, then go be quite.

Obviously one wants attention when they give other people their opinion about someone else. They want to be recognized for it.

like I said the key to being famous on here is to make a thread about Aimster. Then post all the threads Aimster made and have fun. I'll even make a guest appearance for you :)

Don't you get it? At all? I said that do not want to be famous, or need all that attention. YOU are the one that posts all the needless crap, I am here just pointing out the obvious for some people that won't realize it.

I was a kid. I don't remember this at all. My dad said he fell asleep next to the fireplace. The phone call woke up my parents, my dad. (He told me this story when I said how do you know there is a God and he told me right away this one story).

This one I did remember:

Summer before high school I always went to sleep before midnight. For some reason that night I found myself watching T.V and staying on the Internet. I was talking to this guy named "corrosive" on IRC about warez. I remember he had a huge collection and I was downloading Beavis and Butthead off of him. He lived in the same state so he called me and we started talking about random things on the phone. Then the power in the room I was in went out (lights, computer). I looked over to the living room and the power there was still on there. I put the phone down and I go to look and I see light smoke all around the house. I thought someone was cooking something upstairs at 6A.M and I didn't think anything of it. Nobody ever cooks anything that early, but I was so tired that I didn't really think it was a fire, because I looked around and I saw nothing.

Then I saw more smoke and I went upstairs to see if I saw where it was coming from. I didn't see anything. I go to wake up my parents and they start to panic. Right after I woke up my parents, the ceiling to their room collapsed on their bed. The fire started in the attic and was inside the walls. That's why we couldn't see it. The smoke was very light.

I think God made me stay awake that morning. I am not a strong believer in God at all, but I never stay up at nights. The weird part is that I became neighbors with that guy Corossive when we rented a house while the house was being rebuilt.

All this is because of my dad. He prays daily. Nobody else here gives .02 about religion. He doesn't even have a religion. He just prays his own way to God.

Also the drive after we hit the pothole was more than an hour and during that time everything is normal
That's called wear and tear on a damaged item.
That's your opinion and I respect that but I view it as something miraculous.
Pretty tenuous to be described as a miracle. Lucky, perhaps.

For some people it's lucky perhaps, but I feel it differently and I'm not by any means a very religious person.

I went to Australia to study, after only half a year there the Asian economic crisis hit everyone. Almost all of our relatives and friends had to pull their sons/daughters back from studying abroad, even a lot of rich family that we know. Our family is not rich, we are just okay. But during this time somehow my dad can still support me to study in Australia for another 3.5 years and even send my brother to study there too.
Of course I live on a really tight budget there but I still feel this a little miraculous too. But again you are entitled to feel differently about it.
