Tonight marks 5 years since I was hit by a drunk driver (I was a pedestrian going to a friends because I knew not to drink and drive) causeing me to permanently carry about 5lbs. of metal in me to hold my bones together an have all the scaring from asphalt and many surgeries.

Please everyone take care out there tonight as there will definatly be a bunch of idiots on the road!

    I'll be safe in my own bed. The drunks call this "amateur night." Glad to hear you've recovered okay. It takes about a year of he3aling for every hour of surgery.

    When we do go out on New Years Night we leave before Midnight and make sure were home before the new year hits, most drunks stay till then. Not sure fire but has worked for us, diet coke me[:D][:0]

    It has become a tradition for the wife and I to invite our closest friends over for a dinner party each New Year's Eve. No alcohol and every one is gone by 9pm.

    She's been in the kitchen all day. Lots of wonderful smells throughout the house. I can hardly wait for dinner.

    we also stay home, even the 20s aged kids
    ended up working till nearly 18:00 tonight, and the "celabrants" were evident already just after noon!
    saw at least 4 pull-overs being wrote up for whatever, so the boys are on the ball for the night already
