Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 03:00 pm     Wow, some amazing things have happened to a number of folks! Cool stories! Thanks for sharing them. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 03:03 pm     There have been a few scary moments in my life. The most frightening happened in 1992. My husband and I were traveling to Denver to visit family. We’d been looking forward to this trip as it was our first time out west. I am terrified of flying, so getting on the plane was not easy. As the Flight Attendant was speaking I paid attention to the exits. Our flight was unremarkable as we cruised over the mountains. In back of us, I could hear the two men talking. As it turned out, they were both pilots. I casually read a magazine. My ears listening to the engines hum. As we approached Denver, the pilot explained we were approaching the airport. Around me, I could hear the clicking of seatbelts. The plane started to descend and the back of the plane dipped as if landing. I heard a gasp in back of me. My husband pointed out the window. There wasn’t an airport or runway to be seen anywhere!! The ground was quickly approaching. There was a loud roaring noise, and the plane began to shake as the nose began to lift up. The shaking continued for quite a while until we couldn’t see the ground. The pilot’s shaky voice came on to say the co-pilot had pulled us out of wind shear!! I turned to see the two men in back, and they were literally sweating. Later, as we were disembarking from the plane I shook the hand of the co-pilot and pilot. My legs wobbled and shook as I left. It wasn’t until later we learned the Doppler radar hadn’t detected the wind shear. That was a moment in time when our lives could have ended with all of the others on board. It’s something I will never forget. |
Jan | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 03:07 pm     Wow Twigs (((_Twig__)))That had to be scary. I have never had a bad flying experience. I'm sorry that you did but at least it had a happy ending! |

Twiggyish | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 03:14 pm     I only fly if I have no choice..I'm a HUGE chicken! |
Tishala | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 03:37 pm     I just ate a hot dog from the local 7-11. Scary. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 03:42 pm     LOL Tish!! That IS scary! |
Mak1 | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 03:54 pm     Yay! Tish and Lori are here! We missed you last night. |
Tishala | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 04:00 pm     SOrry. This heat in SoCal is not mixing well with my heart failure. I've been virtually devoid of energy recently. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 04:10 pm     Take it easy Tish and try to stay cool..drink lots of water. |
Mak1 | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 04:18 pm     Tish our high temp tomorrow is supposed to be 39. That would perk you up, right? Seriously, though, I'm glad you could join us tonight. |
Jan | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 04:38 pm     Tish, you're welcome to come join me in northern Ontario. It was below freezing last night. And we have a great heart centre (and free health care)here so we can take care of you. Take care, Tish. Keep well. |
Adven | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 06:48 pm     I have accepted Tishala's brief, yet frightening hot dog story so all submissions are in. I have read all the stories and all were worthy of immunity. Unfortunately, I can only pick one and since mine isn't eligible, I have narrowed my choices down to Lance and Jan. After a great deal of soul searching and poring over the two stories again and again, I have decided to give immunity to ... JAN! Mainly because Lance has already had immunity and I like to spread it around. Congrats, Jan. You are now Head of Household and can enjoy all the honors and benefit that the title bestows - which in this game, isn't really anything. I will be setting up an eviction thread in which to carry out the vote. |
Reader234 | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 06:50 pm     That does it... Everyone who can read KNOWS that sq absolutely had this one in the bag! I smell a conspiracy... its the Canadian thing isnt it. I know its not PC to say, and... READER please report to the Diary room What now... |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 06:53 pm     congrats jan. i would hug you but i don't do that. |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 07:04 pm     Congratulations Jan!! Way to go!! Adven, you've always been good at spreading it around, as well as giving everyone a chance with immunity. Reader, about what you are smelling--you better check the bottoms of your shoes. |
Reader234 | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 07:07 pm     Has that rabbit been in here???? |

Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 07:22 pm     Do I look like a retired admiral from Washington? No, of course not. I don't look like an admiral, and I'm not retired. I get tired, but not re-tired. And I've never seen a mole drink diet vanilla coke. |
Reader234 | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 07:27 pm     psst Pamy I think its supposed to be a secret... |
