Hey David, I have to catch up on what has been going on. The only thing I know so far is that you saved your father's house from burning down. I have been scarce lately cause of all the work I have myself involved in, but I plan to be on later tonight........maybe I will even play poker with Brad and Jess ;D Anyway, you should have a pm from me too.......remember that little orange box at the top ;)

Hey Jack!!
I'm glad you are back again. I missed you. I was afraid you were mad at me about something, but I couldn't figure out why.
I will read your PM. Thanks for telling me about it. Have you watched Mamma Mia yet? ;D
I keep nagging him and nagging him to watch it. :laugh:

Investigations uncovered the oldest,sat up in his room with 2 bare wires and a stunned expression. He had dismantled something and decided to see the effect of bare wires in an electrical socket !!!!
When I cast my mind back over some of his escapades, it seems miraculous that he is still alive.

Oh my god Fiona! I know it isn't funny at all, but when I read that, I had an image in my head, like in one of those cartoons, where they get an electrical shock, their head rotates a full 360, eyes bulge out, smoke pours from their ears and their hair stands straight up on end.
Thank god he wasn't hurt! Hopefully he never tried anything like that again. I've often wondered how my parents survived my childhood. I'm surprised they both didn't suffer massive heart attacks from some of the crap I pulled in my youth. In fact I sometimes wonder how I even survived it. I did some really stupid things back then. :-\

Once when I was 5 or 6 years old, I decided to climb into the front seat of my Dad's Chrysler and start pushing buttons. Instead of a gear shift or gear selector in the steering column, it had buttons on the dash for each gear - a button for reverse, neutral, drive, park, etc. I'm not sure which one I pushed, probably the neutral button - because the car started rolling down the driveway with only half of me in it. I started hollering and Dad came running out of the garage, threw me out of the car and into the yard, and managed to stop the car just before it rolled into the street.
Another time I was playing in the car and I pushed in the cigarette lighter. When it popped out I looked inside it - "Oh what a pretty color!" and I stuck my finger in there and touched it. I had little circular "grill marks" on my finger for weeks.
I also remember sticking a metal knife into the toaster and getting a huge shock. It caused the lights to go out in the house. I'll never forget that feeling of having all that electricity go through my body. I'll never forget the feeling of Dad's hand upside my head either. :P
