Wow...I almost died an hour or so ago

[Taverner]

was doing my jog and came off this inter-neighborhood trail and onto a street, with a blind corner. there was this red car driving like a bat out of hell, and slammed on the brakes and came within 10 feet of smashing into me.

The driver was as stunned as I was, he was a kid and was like "Sorry - I should drive slower"

All I could say was "No - you WILL drive slower!" with a stern look. I admit I wasn't making much sense but I hope he got the point.

1. Glad to hear you are still with us!

How long did it take for you to start breathing normally again? I probably still
wouldn't be!

:hi:

[Taverner]

2. Well I kept jogging after that...had no problem hitting my target HR zone

:)

[Spacemom]

3. You may be on to something here

No need to work out, just have teenagers drive at you at top speed. That'll get the heart rate up!

Glad to hear you're okay!

[southlandshari]

4. Yikes!

Glad you are ok!

:hug:

[Taverner]

5. I am too

I may not be missed by others when I pass, but I know I would miss me!

[southlandshari]

13. I would miss you.

Especially watching you flirt with Shell Beau. It kind of turns me on!

:evilgrin:


(I can say that now - I'm not a mod, you know!)

[Taverner]

14. Awwwwww

8. Yikes. This is why I exercise in a gym.

Too many morans out there.

9. I'm glad you're alright, Taverner

:wow: I'm sure that kid will think twice now before flooring it down a seemingly empty street.

I thought about you this morning. For some reason, when I woke up that damned BANANAPHONE song was stuck in my head.

[Taverner]

11. ringringringring BANANAPHONEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ask not for whom the bananaphone rings...it rings for thee...

[UrbScotty]

10. Had you died, would it have been okay if I had taken your XBox?

:P

[Taverner]

12. Sure except that I don't have an Xbox

I do have a super cool coffee cup - would that do?

[UrbScotty]

15. Could I take some of your money and buy an XBox?

[GOPisEvil]

16. You want an XBOX?

I have one I'm not using. Got the steering wheel thingie too. I have some games as well. I've come to discover that I am not a video game guy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. glad you're still here.....

[MrScorpio]

18. You should have took down his license plate number and tracked him down

His parents should know

[LisaM]

19. Yow! Glad you're okay. I got knocked down by a kid on roller blades once

jogging at Greenlake. I don't think they should allow roller blades there. They still scare me.

[Shine]

20. Jeez, some peoples' children.....

that's what my Dad used to say when I was a teenager...

Glad to know you're OK! :hug: Sounds scary. It wasn't your time.

[Crazy Guggenheim]
