that you were gay!!

amp wins this thread, if you can call that winning. Sorry to hear that man.

so far in my life:
i found out when i was 16 that my parents had a baby and it died 3 days after birth... they almost decided to only have one kid(my older sister) and not try to have anymore kids. i would have never been born.

:Graucho

When my neighbor caught me molesting a goat last christmas eve. He was on his roof & looking down on me.

It really sucks getting caught doing something unethical.

But i paid him off in gift certificates to red lobster, he never mentioned a thing.

I wont even say.

These memories burn longer than any flame.

the breakup of wow18

Yeah, sorry to hear about that Amp.

The biggest shock/surprise for me would be after 2 miscarraiges and one still born child, the day a doctor handed me my son
nov 18, 1988. The best day of my life.

I also once landed hard on my bicycle seat in the "wrong position" if you know what i mean. That was probably the biggest shock ever...the feel of a seat going up your ass after a big jump on a bmx.

I still have recurring nightmares....

when I was 14, I was playing lacrose with one of my friends, and he passed the ball, and it had a front spin, so I tried jumping up, and letting it go between my legs, but as I jumped, the ball hit the ground with a front spin, and spead up and hit me directly in my right testicle. The ball must have been going 40 miles per hour, and i just fell down, and couldnt move. I was at the doctor the next day, but luckily testes were A OK!
that sucked!

You havent lived till you've taken a pellet from a high powered pellet gun in the left nut, I straight up puked and couldnt move for hours

I think the biggest shock of my life was a combination of events when I was 13. That was one hell of a year...

I don't really feel like going into deep details. But basically I contracted pneumonia really bad, a mucus ball (I guess) shut off one of my lungs and another ball clogged about 75% of my other lung. My blood oxygen level was around 84% for several days, and I became severely dehydrated. The doctors basically told me I was going to die, but at the time I pretty much wanted to because of the pain. My mom was totally freaking out, can't remember what my dad was doing/thinking.

This happened twice within 6 months. The second time was the worst. Was hospitalized for a week, ventilator, therapy beyond belief. Pretty much nothing worked. I was sick for about 4 months and stayed out of school for a month, also lost around 50 pounds.

But anyway, the doctors were wrong. :thumbsup

Coming home one day and finding out my mom and sister had been attacked and taken hostages by robbers.

On May 18, 1997 I walked into my old apartment to find that my wife of 9 years (who I had left 6 weeks previously) had killed herself.

ya you still have your balls for now!!!

back in the day, i used to go paintballing every weekend out in Jackson NJ....they used to bus in different youth groups that we would challange. I remember there was this one little cocky shit head that thought he was the shit. He would get shot and as he was walking off, would shoot other people. As he was walking off, I watched him shoot one of my friends in the back right after he told my friend he was already out. As he walked past my friend, I proceeded to shoot him 3 times in his nuts from around 6 feet away. He wasnt wearing a cup, and I guess black sweatpants didnt help either. He just sat there crying, and they called an ambulance because he said he couldnt walk...Fuck him. We all got a good laugh out of it.

When I found out that mom aborted a baby when dad punched her in the stomach. It would have been between me & my younger sister.

I'm glad that I don't own a gun & that sob father of mine is on the other side of the state... :BangBang:

My B-day is Nov 18th !! :thumbsup

Amp ... I feel for ya bro! that's rough

Wow..thats horrible bro, lemme know if you ever wanna go track his ass down with some bloodhounds & torch's.

Many sad stories here :(

I'm kinda bummed out now ...

Man, I'm all depressed now after reading this thread. I can relate with the blow to the nuts stories. I got kicked in the balls when I was a young teen so fucking hard that I was on the ground crying like a woman for almost half an hour. I heard a few people saying that I was faking it, but I wasn't!

:eyecrazy

It was very rough but that one day in november was made a lot more special because of it. I'll let my son know I have a friend that shares his b-day. :thumbsup

Amp, I didn't know about your daughter, so sad to hear about that.....

My worst day was 27 months ago. I was told I had incurable Leukemia and would probably be dead in 6 months. Thank God for Bone marrow transplants :)

shemp

same here! nov rules ;D

Most shocking day of my life...
When my brother died exactly three months before my 8th birthday...

I'm sure there are more to come though

Stay strong bro :thumbsup

Sounds like November 18th is a pretty kickass day !!

:thumbsup :thumbsup

my brothers birthday is nov 18th and same with this really hot girl i know!

Shemp ...

My grandfather had bone cancer, and had 2 toes amputated in 1965 ... the cancer came back in 68, and they suggested amputating above the knee ... my grandfather being very active, told them no, and opted to a below the knee amputation, so he could be fitted for an artificial leg ...

His doctor at this time gave him a year to live ... He lived for another 17 years and was in total remission at the time of his death ... (He died of Bronchial Pneumonia unrelated to the cancer )

Stay strong Shemp ... You're a survivor !! :thumbsup

Pipecrew .... Lets throw a surprise party for me and that really hot girl !!!

:thumbsup :thumbsup

luckily enough i don't have any sad stories. but you know whats fucked up, i'm never satisfied with what i have. i suppose thats somewhat of human nature, sometimes i wish i was shipped off to one of those 3rd world countries and then i'd realize how lucky my dumbass is :)

when my programmer finished something on time that was some fuckin shock

this isnt supposed to be a sad thread...this is supposed to be a shock/surprise thread...you know, like winning the lottery, getting 200 signups off the hun, finding out your girlfriend is pregnant :Graucho

sorry to hear about the rough times, Shemp, keep your head high
