(Just so we can keep on topic in the other threads! LOL! ) My nephew is 32, married with no kids. I'm a little concerned that his mum claims he skidded on black ice and hit the tree. There was no ice last night! |

My cousin's son was 15 years old when he and a friend decided to get behind the wheel of a car drunk. They crashed into a mailbox that had been cemented into the ground and he has been a quadriplegic ever since. He is in his 30's now. Never got to go to his prom, never had a first date, never married, no children, no career, etc., all because of one foolish mistake. |
