My parents were in a car accident today
They're actually okay, although my mom had to go to the hospital. She's home now. My dad was just scraped mostly, but they thought my mom's arm was broken (it's not).

My dad drives like a bat out of hell and he made a left turn in front of a guy who hit them on the passenger side (hence why my mom took the brunt of the collision). They were on their way to get my dad's birthday cake, of all things. The other guy's car was totalled but my dad's car is at the auto body shop now.

I'm just grateful they weren't seriously hurt or killed.

Who's bartending tonight? :banghead:

4. I'm glad they're ok
Maybe this will make your dad chill out a big? I hope so. Car accidents are so scary... I was in one yesterday, and you're the third person in two days to tell me about a major one :scared: Hug everyone you love, and I'll bartend tonight, no worries. What'd'ya want? :hug:

15. Cars: They build them every day. You only get one set of parents.
Thank goodness they seem to be OK. Maybe it will slow your Dad down a bit. Here is a double martini, "up" with a pimento-stuffed olive. One each for your Dad and Mom too. Celebrate their lives tonight.

20. Dudette...
You need to draw a pentagram on the ground during the next full moon and stand in the center while sprinkling chicken feathers around you.

It's the only way to break whatever curse the Voodoo Priestess you've offended has cast upon you.
