Your Summer Stories

Shoe Love

Player: dial411
My summer was funny but strange.
I own a dog that I love and adore very much.
He's my baby. I was dropping him off to a neighbours place for a few days. Not a problem dropped him off and went to work. I was pulling a double shift. On my way to work I got pulled over by the police. Just doing their regular routine check. My wallet was gone from my purse. Thought that was strange. I normally don't forget things like that. So I got out of the car and started to search in the back seat. The officer say please you have 24 hours to produce it. Then he started to laugh at me. It turns out my dog had been playing with my shoes again. I had on 2 different pairs. All summer long he's been hiding 1 from the pair. Thought I had on a matching pair. The officer laughed so hard when I told him. my cell phone rang it was my neighbour my dog had my wallet and wouldn't let go of it. I think he missed me. So for the rest of the summer I was stuck wearing odd shoes I couldn't afford another pair.

A True Wish

Player: Lucky_green2
As you sit by the water side wondering, why are we here? You look at the sun set then look behind you and see the family you have created. I was told I had breast cancer in 2006. It makes me sit and wonder a lot why do we put our bodies through this. My mother died of cancer at the age of 38 and here I am in my early 40's. Knowing this is what life brings you, when you continue to bring life into this world. It hurts and makes me angry at this world knowing we will never beat any cancer out there no matter how good someone’s knowledge maybe be. I have spent lots of time with doctors in and out of treatment this summer. I was given till August 16th 2007 to live. That destroyed me more deep down inside. I have children for I am scared as a single mom and not knowing if you're children will ever be safe in this world with out you. My birthday was on August 25th and I had only one wish to make. For my had come true for I am still here. Please note never take life for granted.

Young Again

Player: alleyne111
I really can't afford to play for real money. I am 75 years old. I have had 3 heart attacks over the summer. I thought the last one I had I was a goner for sure. So before the third heart attack I gave all my kids their money and everything I could just to make sure there where no problems. So the computer lessons my daughter has given me in last few years has paid off for me. I don't feel so alone. When I have money to play party bingo I feel so young and feel like nothing can stop me from living. Even if I don't have money its nice just to say hi to everyone on the gaming site. The chat host are amazing. Everyone makes me laugh and also gives me a whole new family. My favourite chat game is 3 legged race. Makes me feel like I can race you to the end of the earth and back again. Its amazing how well and young I feel when I'm with my family playing bingo. I end up laughing because there is no medicine better out there than laughter. I love being young again.

Hide N Seek

Player: no_peaking
Well you know when you have children and they love to play games. Well my kids with many of their friends where playing hide and seek. So I thought I would join in with them. Which I did. It was my turn to hide and a bad spot I picked. I crawled under a bush that I tried to hide in. Well as I was doing that I felt something soft like clay. So I wiped my hands all over myself. being a good sport I continue to play. No matter what no one was going to find me there. So has I tried to make it back safely to home, some yelled something stinks. I was like no you can't smell that you almost 10 feet away from me. They could and they did smell it. It was pooh of some sort. I kneeled in it and sat in it but to top it all off I was wet. Thought it was from the bush. It wasn't I got sprayed by a baby skunk. Never saw him but a few kids saw me leave the bush and a few seconds later was the skunk. Kids were laughing and having so much fun with this. I said I will never play hide and seek ever again. Just my luck they have it on video.

Beautiful Hair

Player: o_u_t_2222
I have grown my hair for many years. So it is very very long. Well at least it was till this summer. I spent most of my summer away in another province. Was enjoying my summer till one night I had to go to the store. I was going to drive but decided to walk. It’s a very long dark road. About every 25 feet is a lamp post. So my cousin and I where walking. Telling ghost stories trying to freak each other out. You can't spoke the spoke. I am to good at what I can do to spoke people. We got onto the topics of what bats can do. I had always believed a bat could get tangled in your hair. So I did some research. Is says its all a myth. Lets just say is not a myth. We had come to a lamp post and my cousin said there's something in your hair. I said no there isn't. She said yes there is. Believe it or not it was a bat. Its was - caught in around my neck area of the hair. What is so spooky is I didn't even feel it. Now my hair is so short I could die.

Special Wedding

Player: june202
This summer was amazing. I was at my niece's wedding. We had it in my brother’s back yard. My niece is 22 years old. She was 8 1/2 months pregnant. Her wedding day should be one to remember. I was one of the bride maids. It was amazing. There where about 150 people. The music played the bride goes down the isle. Her husband soon to be is all excited. He's amazed how wonderful she looks. The minister begins. The bride and the groom both say I do. The groom is told he may kiss the bride. Just then you hear the bride scream in pain. She falls to the floor where she is now in labor. Right there in the back yard she gave birth to a baby boy named Gus. He was born on their wedding day. They had names picked out but he wasn't due till September 5th. So because he was August 25th 2007. They took the name GUS from with in the word August. Even though life is a miracle it was amazing to be there to help. My niece wouldn't let anyone help her but me. I was calm cool and collective. People where just running around like crazy. I've have children of my own but its amazing to be there to help one into the world. I know it was a miracle for me and a moment I will never forget.

Summer Memories

Player: uplifted1
When I was younger(in far distant past) it was the school holidays. if we where going out our mother would make sure all our clothes where clean neat and ironed. She would drive us nuts make sure you have clean undies on you never know if you get hit by a car you may end up in hospital. You know how mothers are. Well one day we where going into the city. She was fussing around getting all 4 of us dressed making sure we all looked just right. Then we where ready to go. there she was pushing us out the door she didn't want to miss the bus.
My sister was saying mum mum! Mum took no notice. A bit farther down the road once again my sister "mum MUM! by this time my brother and i had caught on to what she was trying to tell mum and we where in hysterics laughing. Oh what is it? asked mum/ Sister asked her with a dead pan face "Don't you think you should have put a dress or a blouse and skirt on before you stepped out the door?" Mum with all her fussing had forgotten to get dressed herself and she was in her petticoat and undies. She ran home and wouldn't go outside for days she was so embarrassed. And for punishment for not telling her we had to spring clean our rooms.

It Could Have Been Worst

Player: its5aces2win
My summer had to be the worst. I lost so many things. It was like a memory failure of some sort. I would get up every morning get ready for work. Go to work forget my rollers in my hair. My skirt stuck into my panty hose. When work is done I can't find where I have left my car. Spend an hour looking. Its like someone has been out to confuse me or tease me. I go to check my mail and get back into my elevator and dropped my keys down the elevator shaft. Had to pay $300 to get them back or wait 2 months for the repair guy to come around. I think the summer heat got to me or being over worked and under paid. LOL!!! What else is new? To my cat to the vet and groomer forgot her there. Thought I needed a break from everything went to the beach and fell asleep and got burned real bad. I could of been part of a lobster family. No matter what I went to do I would forget something. My husband was so surprise I didn't forget him. Glad for all the stuff I forgot to do or have left behind, I didn't burn my apartment down. I went to the bank teller to get cash out from my account and had walked away and left the money on the counter. The lady was so nice to bring it to me. Moments like this I wish I was small enough to hide under a rock. I drove my self crazy with this all summer but when I think back it has become very funny. So let see did
I forget all this stuff because I was over worked or because people see me as a true blond. I'm sure people have done worst.

Family Bliss

Player: GOGO22222
Many years ago I gave birth to 17 kids. A few of my kids died of car accidents, natural causes. So I was left raising some of their kids. Don't get me wrong I love it. They are very helpful. No hard times are given, they do what they have to do. I know just like when I raised my kids I had contol of my house hold. Still got it. I love them like they where my own. I love it when summer comes cause everyone is off to camp. I get 3 whole weeks to myself. In that time I get to casino. Go to quilt making contests. Its hard to do all this when you're raising kids. You can't drag them to this sort of stuff. Not like years ago. So this year I went to Ireland to see family and do the quilt contest there. I placed 3rd. I really enjoy it. The weather was perfect. Went to 2 different casino and lost but most of all I enjoyed my trip. Couldn't wait to get back. I missed the kids but needed a break. Also I couldn't afford alot there. So it was great to be home. When I got home my 3rd oldest daughter wass there with all the grand kids. They had a wellcome back party for me. My cake read welcome back grandma and please don't leave us again. We need you here forever. So many tears of joy.

Lonely Summer

Player: freeze1911
Well earlier this year. I lost my wife, my oldest son and daughter in a car accident. They where killed by a drunk driver who was also speeding. So my summer was spent working very long hours trying to catch up on bills. I thought when you have insurance on things it takes care of any bills that any of them had left behind. It didn't do such a thing. I just got all 3 of them burried in july. It spoke me ever minute they where in the house. I'm glad I was able to afford them the place they needed to be so they may rest in peace. See when my wife was alive she took care of all that. I know nothing. Ask people for help and they take advantage. So my summer was totally lost. No camping no family vacations. Nothing! Spent every waking minute at work. Almost at one point was ready to take on a second job. I was able to play the odd time on these gaming sites. Just missed so much. Missed the moon light walks. Romantic nights on the beach. I am so lost and don't know what to do next. My best friend is gone. My youngest son moved out a month ago. So now I am more lost then ever. My son says dad get out and find someone new. The little sneak tried so hard all summer long to fix me up with women after women. Sure he tried but I am just not ready. So its been a long painful summer. This will never leave me.

Worst trip of this summer 2007

Player: Samira74
My brother wanted to go to the cruise and asked me and my hubby go with him.So we decided to go to cruise all 3 of us together.I booked in all of us nice relaxing cruise.
Then came the day we have to go;
First we have to drive about 135 kilometres to the harbor and i drove of course.Guys wanted to drink beer and start relaxing.i needed rest from babycaring too.
All went good and we got safely to ship.
First we checked our cabin,it was small but we didnt care about that.Then we go eat something and ships store buy some cider and vodkamixer.We went our cabin and sat there,talk and drink cider and vodkamixer.We were having funtime.
We noticed that there was a lot of ppl from other countries.Not so usual.
Then we went nightclub and sit there and watching band playing and ppl dancing.We have really good time.Only thing there was bad is that we couldnt smoke there,we have to go smokingplace which was small smoky room.
During night we ran there with my hubby smoking.And allways my brother waited us in the bar.
Last time we went to smoke together,alltough we didnt know it was last time.
There was some foreigner guy and some girls with him.Hubby asked that guy if he come from china and he said no.He was weird other ways.So hubby continue to talk those girls,other was from vietnam and other from finland.He talked with finnish girl about that ship and so on...Suddenly that guy from vietnam throw all his beer on my hubby.Thank god i was sitting there back about 5 meters away from them.Then vietnam guy attacked on my hubby and next he attacked on me.There was some guys who tried to help us,but they couldnt.There came 6 or 7 more guys from vietnam and attacked us.They broke my hand totally and then they try to kill hubby.They hit him with trashbox to head several times and kicking him and hitting.And i couldnt do nothing cause so bad pain in my arm.When there was blood all over and hubby lost ... they ran away.I ran after them and try to find security person from ship,but no. Finally some1 find 2 persons from ship help us.They took my hubby to ships careroom and i went to get my brother who sat in nightclub waiting us(he didnt know nothing about fighting and what happened).He gets really angry when he saw what happened to us and couldnt believe his eys.
Ships nurse take care of hubby and put some glue to his head,there was 6cm long bad mark.He looks like monster.He got so many scars in head and handmarks in neck too.Cause they try to strangle him.They couldnt do nothing to my shoulder in there ship,so they said "go to hospital".Omg i was thinking,we are Estonia and i never been hospital there.So my brother and i went to hospital and they take x-ray pictures from my hand and put it to bondage.they did it cause i was forbidded to use my right arm at all. Then finally we could get back to ship and clock was allready 05:45 am.We knew that we have to go to town 07:30am.So we couldnt sleep at all. Funniest thing was that they put my hubby to shipsjail with that vietnamguy.And we got him out 07:15.
Then we have to spend all day in Tallinn and we looked like we were been on war.It was really hard day there ,9 hours walking around and trying to buy some clothes to daughter and trying to enjoy nice summer weather.
Finally time was enough we were able to go ship and start going back to home.
That was the worst trip ever.No relaxing at all.Only pain all over places.
Been so many times on cruises and never even seen this kind of thing happened there.
Its our luck =o)

Unusual Fishing Trip

Player: blue_gumball
One day I thought I would surprise my wife by showing up at her work to pick her up. When I did she was surprised to see me. I do her the surprises weren't over with yet. So I took her out to dinner and thought after that we could go fishing. She loved the whole idea. That is what we did. We went to a place called bluffers park. We both walked around on large rocks trying to find the perfect place to fish. Sure enough we did find the so called perfect spot. LOL!!! About 15 - 20 minutes later I thought I could walk across some rocks that looked safe to do so. Oops I was wrong, they where wet. I feel into the lake and cracked my head off the rocks. My wife got so scared that she through my fishing rods into the lake trying to save me. I blacked out for a minute or two. My head was bleeding. I guess some people where offering help to get me to dry land and to a hospital. I think people where really wanting to help save me but where finding it funny. Where my wife is 5'3 in height and weighs 130lbs and where I'm 6'1 in height and weigh 280lbs she was dragging me out of the water. I really know she loves me and would never hurt me. I heard someone yell if you die we'll blame your wife because she couldn't lift you, she had to drag you. They where laughing. Well when she got me to dry land covered in blood, she wanted to take me to the hospital but I said no. I wanted to go back fishing. She said no then my body went into shock. Where I totaly agreed its time to go. We went home where she bandaged me up. I love her with all my heart and thank her everyday for saving my life. Even though I got to admit it was funny watching her get me out of the water. Now I owe her my life. I hope I won't spoked for anymore fishing outings. No fish where caught in that period of time.
