Para's "Dear Diary"
thread prompted this.

A simple sentence is what I am
looking for,
That we can bring up
While we are sitting around the camp fire, enjoying a root beer or lemonade .

Example:
1. The time I was in the Denver Hospital e. r. at 2 a.m.

2. The time a car hit me while I was riding my bike.

3. Dad and I fishing in the Mississippi back water.

Again ,
This is not a story thread,
This is a

Remind me to tell you about ________thread.

Good idea bendable. Your story lines need to be more interesting. You know like when I was alone with Miss Iowa at the county fair and her boyfriend showed up. or The time I got my toe stuck in the tub faucet and nobody was home. Just kidding

It wasn't Miss Iowa, it was Miss S. Carolina, and her boyfriend is probably still looking for her.

More or less interesting?

There was this one time, at band camp

Well, if America had more maps, her boyfriend could have found her, and such as...

It was a dark and stormy night...

I'm thinking of 'Throw Momma from the Train'

"The night was dark & humid"......(maybe am mis-remembering it)

4. The night we slept in Yosemite with all the glass and no other campers

5. The night I woke up in Santa Barbara because I couldn't breathe

1. That day I slid some 30 to 40 feet down Mt. Hood.

2. Or the always fun morning I woke up in a pasture, covered in dew and surrounded by cattle.

3. ... and the girl I was on a date with that lost her clothes getting untangled from a barbed wire fence.

Some people out there don't have map, such as everywhere like, such as

Shaka, when the walls fell.

After losing over $14 million, all I could do was go home and sleep like a baby.

Those times I almost died....

Two words: Morgan Fairchild.....yeah, that's the ticket....

The time I unlawfully carried a loaded firearm into a federal building..

That time I was minding my own business, chasing lizards and the trees five feet from me started falling apart from machine gun fire

That time I was accused of being a serial killer in a small South American town.

A beginning is a very delicate time.

(Know then that it is the year 10,191. The known universe is ruled by the Padisha Emperor Shadam the fourth, my father. In this time the most precious substance in the universe is the spice mélange…)

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

Believe it or not, that is one sentence to open "A tale of two cities."

And then there is discussion over the fire... Root Beer... Lemonade...

Somebody gets peanut butter on somebody's chocolate...

And finally, “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”

I was so innocent the day I met John Wayne Gacy. Wow that sounded creepy. BTW, I was still innocent afterwards too.
