What Are You Doing In Real Life II - Page 214

Eichhörnchen · 05-08-20, 10:46 AM

My son and I now spend a lot of time waiting by the car while Moira's shopping. We were getting bored in the heat of the car park a couple of hours ago, so I showed him how to make bird shadows with his hands. Then we tried the rabbit with wiggling ears, and he raised his two fingers up into the air just as a car load of yobs pulled in... I don't reckon they thought he was giving a 'V for Victory' sign either

I don't know why I didn't get beaten up at this point... could be either because he is over six feet tall, or they were afraid of catching the coronavirus

inoculated five litters of puppies so they can be adopted out. Cute little things.

Aktungbby · 05-18-20, 12:42 PM

FRIDAY NIGHT AFTER DELIVERING GROCERIES TO HER MOM AND ME, MY DAUGHTER WAS RETURNING HOME TO SANTA ROSA 40 MILES AWAY AT AROUND 6 PM. AN ELDERLY GENT(70) DID A U TURN AND, BLINDED BY THE SETTING SUN, PULLED DIRECTLY INTO A WELL TRAVELLED THOROUGHFARE LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOME ....DIRECTLY IN FRONT MY DAUGHTER WHO MANAGED TO SWERVE SLIGHTLY TO AVOID A DEAD-ON T-BONE COLLISION. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FRACTURING HER WRIST BONES AND CAUSING ADDITIONAL LIGHT FRACTURES TO HER ARM. THE BRUISES ACROSS HER CHEST FROM THE SEATBELT WERE SEVERE. SHE MANAGED TO CALL US, SO WE RUSHED TO THE SCENE , DIRECTING TRAFFIC ETC TILL FIRE AND MEDICS ARRIVED. BOTH THE GENT AND MY DAUGHTER RODE THE SAME AMBULANCE: HIS BLOOD PRESSURE WAS VERY HIGH. HE MANFULLY TOOK FULL BLAME FOR THE ACCIDENT. SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD ACCIDENT IN THE 2007 SUBARU, IT HAS DONE ITS WORK WELL. MY DAUGHTER (MY ONLY!)IS STILL WITH US. SHE WAS MORE UPSET ABOUT HER BELOVED CAR BEING TOTALLED, AND HAD NAMED IT 'LILLY'...??!!. 100% OF BLAME IS ON THE U-TURN VEHICLE PER THE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR. I HAD TOLD MY WIFE TO TAKE LOTS OF GOOD CELL-PHONE PHOTOS (LEARNED IN MY TRUKKIN' DAYS) WHICH SHE DID WHILE I CLEANED OUT THE POSSESSIONS FROM MY BABY'S WHEELS; AND THOSE PICS SETTLED EVERYTHING WITH OUR INSURANCE CARRIER. WE WERE NOT ALLOWED AT THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF CORONA ISSUES BUT MY DAUGHTER ALLEGEDLY TOLD THE E.R NUSE: "DAMN! MY DAD ALWAYS SAYS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IS OTHER PEOPLE...." GIRLS GET THEIR SENSE OF HUMOR FROM DADDY!

< I HAD JUST BOUGHT THOSE TYRES!

FOR WHAT ITS WORTH, BOTH MY LADIES HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED IN SUBARUS AND THE OFFENDING VEHICLES WERE TOTALLED WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER DROVE AWAY UNHARMED....WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ONE. AMAZINGLY, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND GET IT TO THE ROADSIDE AFTER THE OFFICER FINISHED HIS REPORT, AND DIRECTED ME TO DO SO; THE STEERING WAS VERY BAD.. SHE WAS DUE FOR NEW WHEELS ANYWAY!

Eichhörnchen · 05-18-20, 01:26 PM

Don't talk to me about women in cars: one came close to killing me yesterday

Mr Quatro · 05-18-20, 01:27 PM

Sorry that happen to your daughter Aktungbby, but glad she's going to be okay. My mother was an insurance agents secretary
for 20 years and she said most accidents happen within 40 miles of home.

Nice promotion for Subaru, but I prefer the new

SPECIFICATION – PORSCHE CAYENNE S COUPE
Engine: 2,894cc, twin-turbo V6
Transmission: 8-speed automatic, four-wheel drive
Power (hp): 440@5,700-6,600rpm
Torque (lb ft): 406@1,800-5,500rpm
0-62mph: 5.0sec (with Sport Chrono)
Top speed: 163mph
Weight: 2,050kg (DIN, without driver)
MPG: 23.7(WLTP)

Price way above my level, but I still want one even has rear wheel steer

Jimbuna · 05-18-20, 01:46 PM

Good to know it wasn't far more serious for her

Aktungbby · 05-18-20, 03:42 PM

JUST IN FROM 80 MILES ROUND TRIP TO DELIVER HER TO THE ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON HERE IN NAPA; SHE'S A LITTLE PARANOID WITH MY DRIVING....HONED BY YEARS OF PATROL, UPS AND LONGHAUL TRUKKIN COMBAT DRIVING. SOON AS THE WIFE BRINGS HER FROM THE DOCTOR, IT'S ANOTHER 80 MILES TO GET HER BACK HOME AGAIN. THANK GOD FOR CORONA LOCKDOWN THERE'S NO SERIOUS TRAFFIC!

THIS WILL GO ON FOR SIX WEEKS I EXPECT.

Jeff-Groves · 05-18-20, 04:00 PM

Thanking whatever higher power I believe in She was not seriously injured!

Mr Quatro · 05-18-20, 04:01 PM

Your a good father Aktungbby

Catfish · 05-18-20, 04:26 PM

Good to hear that your daughter came out with only some bumps and bruises

Hoping for a speedy recovery, and all the best to your whole family. Nice to hear what you do, from helping out the neighbours to this..

Commander Wallace · 05-18-20, 04:59 PM

I'm very sorry your daughter was in the accident Aktung. I'm happy though it wasn't more serious though. I hope her recovery goes well and that she doesn't suffer any long effects.

Mr Quatro said you're a good dad and I would agree with that. On the other hand, I would expect nothing less.

All the best to you and yours during your daughters recovery.

Higher power indeed! She was a'yippin' over having to sign a 6month contract with her employers to direct her small museum...I pointed out that, with her entire hand and arm splinted and in a sling...she can't sign anything!

The Lass is in generallly good spirits, resplinted and hungry!! as I post this.

Jeff-Groves · 05-18-20, 05:51 PM

Starve a Cold. Feed a fever.
Arm in a sling guess ya feed her?

I'd give her something that takes two hands to eat.
Someone may as well get a laugh out of it.
