Holy shite that's gay.

Angels among us. I’ve read accounts of this happening.

So you didn't actually ride in a car

yes, i did ride in the front seat of a police car holding my son

quote:

you didn't actually go to the hospital in a different vehicle than your husband?

---

yes I did, see above

quote:

Maybe it wasn't actually a cop,

police department name on the side with lights on top - maybe he was an impostor but he did radio into the hospital

Or maybe it was an off duty cop that the department didn't know about?

---

it could’ve been - that’s why I started my post with ‘not sure if it counts’ - it’s just weird that a voice told me what to do and a cop appeared out of nowhere

I still have the discharge papers from the hospital - so the incident happened.

TBH I don’t care if you believe the story or not. There are details I’m leaving out because I like to stay anonymous.

I guess similarish.

When I was a kid my bed was close to my TV, which was one of the really old heavy boxy TVs with a glass screen.

I was laying with my head at the foot of my bed looking up. Something told me that the TV could fall on my head and kill me and I felt an urge to get up right then. As soon as I did my TV fell right where my head was about 5 seconds prior.

I turned around and my child was blue - but a voice calmly told me to tell my husband to pull over - so I told him, then the voice told me to tell my husband to flash the lights - so I did


Then a policeman appeared out of nowhere - asked what was wrong - looked at my kid and said ‘get in my car’

So we got in and he u-turned on the neutral ground, radioed to the hospital that he was coming in a police car with a sick child - and we got there in about 5 minutes

The ER staff met us at the door and put my son on a stretcher, rolled him to a room, and started doing tests, the policeman stayed with me until my husband got there with the other kids - my son had a 106 fever - when I turned around to thank the policeman he was gone.

I called the police department of the town the next day to see if they could tell me who it was on the interstate or matched my description of the guy - and they said they didn’t have any officers on the interstate the day before and not any of their officers matched that description.

Really? Campy was top of the line when I rode

they're on a wing and a prayer at this point. ZERO teams in this year's tDF used campy

Did you keep it tuned up and lubricated?

aint nobody got time for that shite. yes i constantly fricked around with it to keep it happy; why should i have to do that? only for it to fail at one of the most critical points for me.

i took my bike to the dealer the SAME DAY as the race and had him swap it for Ultegra and that's been 10 years ago and haven't had so much as a mis-shift since.

frick campy

IDK, surfing at Sabastian Inlet. I had no business being in the water (young dumb) 20 years old.

Everything happened very quickly. Got caught in a rip current.... I was being pulled down the beach towards the inlet when I realized I was in trouble.

I then flashed back to little me around 6 or 7 years old, flipping through channels & stopping at a National Geographic or similar show about rip currents. The info was not to swim against the current but diagonally out of the current.

I'm not sure if I ever thought about that show or info again being I grew up in a Louisiana small town but there it was years later & it saved me from being taken out into the Atlantic. I got out of the water kissed my infant daughter & gave my board away that day!

It's crazy even now as I think about it. A few second pause to watch some info on TV & then continue to go through all 13 channels looking for something to watch. Yet that info got branded in my brain somehow.

Car wreck. Flipped. While in the air a voice says, "this is gonna hurt."

They weren't wrong

To the point where when flipped into the air again I distrinctly remember responding out loud, "yeah that hurt"

But the next 5 or 6 flips happened ao fast I couldn't count them.

Another car wreck I distinctly remember putting the car in park and climbing out the driver door. One problem... Both the steering wheel and front seat were pinned against the rear seat. All i know is I was standing there on the side of the road when the cops showed up.
