    The Day I met my GF, soon to be wife. That is one day I would relive a thousand times, and every day since.

    9/11 and the deployment that followed right after it.

    I was counting down the days until I was out of the Navy (June 23, 2002). I still ended up getting out, but I decided to stick around as a reservist. I went to Iraq during 2006-2007, and I'm waiting until I get called to go to Afghanistan.

    We were parked in a long convoy of self propelled M109 Howitzers and M548 Tracked Cargo Carriers. I remember the sky had some really strange looking clouds. It was very shortly after that, that my CO came up and found me to tell me they just got word that my father had passed and that I was to take 3 days funeral leave.

    Spring, 1975
    Mushrooms could still be picked in cow fields and a couple of friends picked some.
    We went about a quarter mile into the woods to our swimming hole. Crystal clear water abutting a sandy beach surrounded by lush plantlife.
    Boiled up the shrooms and drank some for the first time.
    That day, I had my first epiphany.
    The fish were visible 10 feet down, the forest was emerald green, and I could feel every grain of sand under my feet.

    It radically changed the way I viewed plants, animals, and my relationship to the world around me. Life abounds and it is something to be treasured and not abused. This is what we are given and it's up to us to make the journey as pleasant as possible.

    That afternoon in 1975 is as clear in my mind as if it happened this afternoon. I wish everyone could experience something as wonderful.

    yep. the passing of my grandfather and the concurrent thieving and lying my aunt got away with.

    i will never forgive that piece of trash, and since her kids are following her example, i will probably never be in their lives again either, regardless of how close we once were.

    bastids.

    gawd, i'm angry.

    I was sitting in biology class in my freshman year in high school. When, two rows in front of me, two boys were talking so much the teacher had to split them up. He told one to sit with me. That boy became my best friend. I ended up marrying his cousin and having two daughters. Which have given me two grand babies. Perla and Eli. So yes I can narrow it down to a single event.

    Yes...

    The day my younger brother was just one pint of blood away from being dead....

    That was 25 years ago ... now he has a wife and two kids... And I get to go hunting with him several times a year...

    Never forget that you have only THIS life.. Use it as well as you can...

    As my brother said back then.. "I plan to live forever... or die trying"

    Whole lot better than mushrooms, I might add.



    If one is to judge, one must have experience with both. Otherwise, you are only guessing from limited personal experience.
    I would stack my view of life up against ANY bigot and let the moral chips fall where they may.

    At the age of forty two I had a cerebral hemorrhage , a stroke. You either die or you don't, and if you don't you usually have permanent disabilities. I didn't, so I guess you can say it changed my life and I am one lucky SOB.

    December 1979. Dad called to say he and mom were coming home from the hospital without my eight year old little sister, who had finally lost her four year battle with leukemia. Broke my heart and then made me mad. My heart is better, but I am still mad at the world.

    I can truly relate to the experence and understand the changes that you went through, having a similar experence back in the day. I today look at some folk and say to myself, "they have missed so much in life" they walk around with blinders on or tunnel vision.
    Thanks for the trip[;)]
