I hope all is well with your son.
I've been thinking about you.
I continue to be awfully achy after my wreck.
I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

What did I miss? Mimi, you are STILL achy after your wreck a few weeks ago? What is wrong with Pep's son?

Pep shared that her son fell asleep at the wheel of his car but did not seem to be injured..came home.
I didn't THINK I was hurt in my wreck. Our car was T-BONED on my passenger side BUT I still feel ACHES every now and then...

[color:"red"]Mel: [/color] Sunday morning got an early AM call, our son the EMT, fell asleep on his way to work a last minute extra shift ~~~> on the famous Los Angeles 101 and hit the guard rail flipped the car and slid 100 feet with the car laying on the passanger side. The car stopped on it's side situatuated horizontally across one of the busiest freeways in the country. He crawled out as fast as he could and got himself to the center divider so he would not be in the car if it got struck by another car.
My husband got the call when he was on his way to his early AA meeting ... I was asleep.
Anywho, the car is toast, our son is fine ... but pretty banged up. Of course he refused the paramedic's advice to go to hospital by ambulance. I told my husband NOT to bring him home until he's been to the ER .... and that's what he did. That airbag powder can be nasty stuff. [color:"red"]Mimi & Mel: [/color] [color:"blue"] He's fine. Back to his oid self minus some pride and some superman complex <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> [/color]

Oh wow, thank goodness he is ok!
Mimi, I am sorry to hear you are still hurting. At our young age, things seem to take longer to heal. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

He was driving MY old car. We still held the pink slip in our name. We had very recently decided to sign the pink slip over to Son so he could continue to drive it, or, use it as a trade in for something better. Sooooooooooo, for some reason, Son had it in his head that ~we~ were going to provide a replacement vehicle.
*ahem* .... he must be brain injured <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> after all .... j/k
We set him straight ... and ~then~ Son asks:
"How much of the down payment are you going to help me out with?"
<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
"Well, Son, use the Honda (sitting in the wreckling yard) as a trade in..."
Bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
*sigh* .... he persists ... typical Taurus trying to poke people into doing his bidding ...
Even ~this~ wreck brings us new & exciting <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> "parenting opportunities"
[color:"red"] LOL [/color]
My husband is a deal-maker ... that's what he does .... negotiates all the darn day .... so Mr Pep is going with Son tomorrow to purchase a new Scion (I think that is Son's choice) .... and inbetween car-sales-rep-push-pull .... Mr Pep is also negotiating some industry deals .... Mr Pep seems to have his cell permanently installed in his ear for the past week ... we have not had "quality time" for awhile .... and the Pepster is getting restless....
Marriage ~~~> the "People Growing Machine" .... I'm grown already !!!! Let's just sit back & rest on our laurels !!!!!!!!!!!! .... not gonna happen!

It's a PAPA BEAR thing! My H just recently "negotiated" on car deals for our sons and I would almost catch him beating his chest.."I AM THE MAN OF THIS FAMILY"..."I AM THE DADDY".. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Marriage ~~~> the "People Growing Machine" .... I'm grown already !!!! Let's just sit back & rest on our laurels !!!!!!!!!!!! .... not gonna happen! I know I guess not.. ours are older than yours and we are still "HELPING OUT"...but it's SWEET for US..just a few years back I thought we'd never GET TO THIS... I can even imagine GRANDCHILDREN!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Our OS is "IN LOVE"..talking a lot to me about "MARRIAGE"... Last night talked about wanting US to meet HER PARENTS..sounds like a movie... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

I also got quite a laugh regarding your son's SUPERMAN COMPLEX...
Of course OUR SONS know such much more than US. We are SO DUMB that they often have to set us straight about things...because of course they are "MEN" now....and we are OLD FOLKS...
