I've used up 2 of my 9 lives this past week.1st one:
Becky and I drove down to Julie's (Becky's driving). We're in the carpool lane and getting closer to our exit. "Shall we get out on this outlet or wait till the next?" "Oh, let's wait till the next." As we stayed in the carpool lane, a truck about 2 car lengths ahead of us in the center lane, which we would have been in if we had exited the outlet, dropped a canoe off it's roof. If we'd been behind him, it would have gone through our windshield!
2nd one:
These hamburger buns have a good story, too. Bernell and I went to the Wonder Bread thrift store near us and as I was picking up this package of buns, a huge crash sound came from behind me. A car had slammed into the building hitting a steel bar that supported the front between the large plate glass windows. If the car had been 1 foot to the right it would have gone right through the glass and plowed me and probably Bernell (he was a couple of feet away from me) right down because we were right next to that front window. I think it would have shoved us right into the twinkie-cupcake display and maybe at least we'd a died with a twinkie in our mouth. Well.....Bernell went out to see what happened and I looked out and saw the woman getting out of the car. It was Joy! Our own Joy, Dad's second wife. She'd stepped on the gas instead of the break. Well, fluids were leaking out of her radiator and the left front was bent in badly; a tow truck had to be called and a police report made. We drove her home and hour and a half later....glad we were there to help her.....I think.

Wow! Two very scary stories. What a shocker that the person in the car was Joy! I'm glad you're all okay. :)
Hey! You make it sound like my driving was the dangerous part of your first near-death experience this past week. I think it was providential that I was the one driving as you probably would have been in the middle lane.
Anyway, I'm glad no lives were used up. As it is, the stories are a bit funny in a morbidly-relieved way.
Hang onto those other 7 lives for a long time!!!! How did those hamburger buns taste?
Nancy you have interesting things happening. I think I used to visit that bread store too. Wow, that is too bad. Once I had a lady step on the gas instead of the brake on the next tiered level up from me in parking and she went down the hill into the bushes and right into the back of our bumper. We were lucky too!
