Somebody saved my life once way back.I WAS working as a steel racker before I GOT INTO THE BRICKS, and I was crushed between 1200 pounds of steel.I couldn't breathe and the guy I was working with acted really fast,called the foreman and got immediate help.THEY GOT ME OUT IN under 3 minutes and I was lucky to get out okand unharmed.IT was his fast thinking that probably saved my life and I'll forever be grateful to him.

Hey Gilly. Once again, Another excellent question. The Best Thing In My Life? My Step Dad, (Who I refer to as "DAD" because HE raised me), Accepting me and loving even though I was NOT his own. He's been gone for 12 years now. I owe him an INFINITE DEBT and ALWAYS WILL. The Worst things in my life are things that I have done to myself. Take care My Friend. Talk to you soon.
Can't say the best thing because so many . I have to say at least 2 Seeing my first child after giving bith obviously 1st time.A miricale wow.The 2nd would be the evening I was baptistized at 19 yrs. old.The feeling I could never foget.
the worst was a mother who was abusive in everyway known fom a toodler to different ways as I grew.Really messed me up for a long time.But I am now great.

The best thing anyon ever did for me? I got some advice from a man who all four of his children through college. He said perservere in spite of all things. Sage advice since he passed on. I absolutely was torn up after he passed because he taught me so much.
The absolute worst thing was watching some guy getting ready to jump off a cliff because his former girlfriend got pregnant by someone else. If I did not save him, it would have been a life wasted. Terrible things they did to military men in the 70's/

Emanuellla: the best thing: smb was on my side when everybody else left me in the middle of the road
the worst thing: i was betrayed and it felt horrible anyway, i will thank to both the one who supported me as well to the one who betrayed me coz it strengthened a lot my immune system
bet you've got lots of interesting things to talk about emanuella !
When I was 17, I was sitting upstairs on the bus, looking out the window when, WHAP.
What was that? My nose really hurts.
WHAP, WHAP, WHAP. I'm being attacked.
A 20 year old lad is standing above me and hitting.
He must have been on the back seat. I didn't even see him coming.
He spent the next 15 minutes sporadically hitting me, asking me stupid questions, raving at me, whilst his 4 or 5 mates at the back laughed. He robbed me of the £1.28 I had in my pocket.
There were a lot of schoolgirls upstairs on that bus. None of them did anything to help me.
He got off at his stop.
I stayed on the bus till I got to the police station.
He got arrested the next day and pleaded guilty. I don't know what happened to him after that.
THAT WAS THE BEST THING THAT ANYBODY EVER DID FOR ME.
Why?
I got a few hundred pounds compensation from the Criminal Injuries Board and bought my Linn Sondek LP12 with it.
I still have the LP12 and still use it a lot. And I still have my slightly reshaped nose, and I still use that a lot too.
