Nicole - I hate Jackasses! Sorry you had to put up with that kind of behavior.

Jeez! I might freak out! Hahaha. I know how bad passing out sucks, i've done it far too many times.
I almost had a panic attack today, okay...
imagine this.. going from illinois, to missouri across the mississippi river on a car ferry..well, it's a giant downhill to the ferry..and a bar next to the ferry..so we're on this hill..(it's like an 80 degree angle up, REAL steep) there was a motocycle infront of us, and i was panicing because i didnt want to slide and hit them, because people speed on that road, and my first thought was someone will speed, hit us, and we'll hit them...well..no one hit us..but at the bar..about 8 cars and 2 motorcycles pulled out drunk, and cut inline to the ferry..the guy who runs the ferry told them to go to the back of the line..and told the cars to leave, because they were drunk, and it is illegal to drive drunk, so they refused to let them on..which aggitated the drivers, so they revved their engines and sped up this hill, 3 of them spinning out of control and nearly hitting a motocycle, our car, and the truck behind us. it was absolutely INSANE. we thought they left...THEY CAME BACK!!

Good girl, Nicole! Let's HOPE they catch the passer outers! My son told me that each of the sailors is told to not be a (jackass....but another word used) and if you see someone near you starting to fall, CATCH HIM/HER! There are usually about 5-7 during each PIR. But the body snatchers do a great job!
-
-
Yes, they catch the passeroutters:O
-
-
Are you all aware of the "body snatchers" at PIR and what they do?
-

Alright Ya'll, I cannot print the avatar - my computer printer is shot! I will make an alternative something or rather. I may be a little late to M&G.
LOL, Iris, I should send that to The Ellen Show.
