Well, we're sure glad you're still around
What a horrible, horrible thing, but it looks like you have the right outlook on it!
Today is the 7th Anniversary of me surviving a wreck with a drunk driver. Although it's left me in crutches we prefer to celebrate the fact that I'm alive!
Pretty flowers from Rick and Dominic.
PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!

**KEEP ME AWAY FROM SUPER GLUE ... i tend to glue my lips shut !!**
My philosophy is that you can let something like this ruin your life by living in the "what ifs" or you can thank God you are still alive and make the best of it.

CarmieJo you certainly have the right outlook on things! You have taken a terribly negative event and turned it into a positive, Good for you!
I have lost my father and a dear family friend to drunk driving. I had to go through alot of time to reach a point that I could forgive the people that thought drinking and driving was an okay thing to do.
These events effect our lives either directly or indirectly but they do change the way we live day to day. I hope that people will think when they are out in the upcoming holiday season about thier actions and remember to THINK BEFORE THEY GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. You never known how one tragic error can change your life.
I wish you all the best CarmieJo, I'm glad you are here so I can continue to pick your brain! You are a wealth of knowledge for sure!

After meeting you for the first time at MACNA in PA, I would be the first to jump to my feet and shout accolades to that statement! Not only that BUT she ramrods that Chevy Suburban, with it’s modifications just for her, around like Dale Earnhart Jr gave her lessons. Nothing, but nothing, gets past this girl when she sets her eye on a goal whether on foot or wheels.
Congrats Carmie, we’re certainly blessed you came out alive and made TR your second home. I know you have inspired and enriched my life. Thank you!

Please, if you choose to drink, don’t get behind the wheel. We don’t need more proof that only fools do that!

Belated Happy Anniversary Carmie!!
I'm sorry I didn't read the new posts yesterday, I would have said Happy Anniversary when I thanked you for helping me last night! I understand the celebration, I was involved in a pretty bad accident on Jan 21st, 1999. I took a mustang off a 38ft cliff going close to 100mph. Yup, all my fault, and no, there was no alcohol involved... just a stupid kid. Spending a few years in a wheelchair and going to physical therapy twice a week really helped me learn how to make better decisions, but getting eviscerated as the result of my own stupid action made me understand how ones own decisions can effect the lives of others. If it had been someone else in that chopper on their way to NTICU... I thank God every day that I'm the only person who was injured in that accident, and I still beat myself up for the grief I caused my family and friends. I don't pay much attention to my birthday, but Jan 21st is my official rebirth day. I am grateful that you survived the accident, not just because you have helped me (and my Daughter!) with our proposed reef tank, but because this world is a better place because of you and people like you. Thank You for being a survivor!

Happy Anniversary CarmieJo,
I'm very happy you and Mike (Mostly Rock) made it through such terrible moments in your lives. Being here on this forum is all the better because of it. It would be nice to meet everyone, but that probably would never happen. So we meet here in some way from time to time. Heres to friends....
