    While 3 months pregnant I saw a guy strangling a women in their trunk and she called for help. I reached in and pulled him out knocked him out and then got a lecture from the cops for putting myself at risk:grumble:

    I think I just fell in love.

    When I was 6 years old I was playing with my remote control car and the batteries died. My pop and I searched the house but only found 1 AA battery. He said "it wont work with just 1 battery son it needs 2". I replied "it'll work daddy you just have to believe it will work". I put the battery in and the car started rolling like it had 2 9V batteries in it. My dad couldn't believe it. I can still see that look on his face.

    At 14 while skiing in a major competition I was clocked going 58 MPH and well I also ate the gate keeper and sent him to surgery as I crashed and tumbled went through the nettng and hit the tree as I went off a cliff. I spent 6 weeks in a coma and woke up to my coach and thought it had been hours only until he made me realize what had happened. My helmet was seen only by smal pieces and I not only walked away but stll skied competitively a year later and still it is my first love. I know I am lucky to be alive and my passion is only doubled in life and blessngs overflow from the lessons I learned as I pick up the pieces with an awesome support around me.

    Was woke up at 2 am in the morning by my cousins crying girlfriend. She claimed the cab driver that brought her to our house was trying to rape her. (Cousin wasn't there) I sprang from bed in nothing but my underwear and pulled a shotgun on the guy. I escorted him out that way. Come to find out later, she was a bit crazy and we think she made the whole thing up.

    So in all likelihood the cab driver was trying to collect his cab fare from your cousins "unstable" girlfriend, and you pulled a shotgun on him.

    Armed robbery, how bad *kitten*.

    Long story short.......Cousin had been picked up for drinking and driving. (1 beer but under 21) Girlfriend was 21 but to drunk to drive. Cops called cab and had cab take her to my cousin and I's house. So.....cab driver claimed he was trying to help cousins girl find out what police station cousin was at. I call bullcrap though. I think they were about to get it on and she forgot I was there. Made up the rape story to cover why the guy was in the house. Like I said, she was crazy! That is the short version of the story.

    Sounds odd that she was crying before you woke up if they were planning on getting it on, and he wasn't trying anything.
    You never found out what happened?
    Hopefully the guy didn't go on to rape anyone, if she was actually telling the truth.

    Didn't realize from your first post he was in your house, sounds like you did the right thing.
    Depending on the laws in your state you probably could have even detained him if you thought she was telling the truth.

    I hope she wasn't lying becuase the most bad *kitten* thing I ever did was survive rape and put the man in jail. Ended up pregnant because of it. Had the baby and gave him up for adoption to a couple who had been trying for 12 years to have kids. To have women lie about that stuff really gets to me.

    You are so strong.
    I also hate it when women lie about rape.

    But I also think that people tend to think women lie about rape more than women actually do lie about rape. And the thing about this story being told is, maybe she was a crazy stupid drunk idiot. Maybe she invited the guy in. Maybe she even kissed the dude. But if she changed her mind about doing this and he didn't stop, that would still be her right to say no at that point. I don't know what happened, I wasn't there. But dudes taking advantage of drunk women is a thing that happens:

    made me think of this video:

    so, I was gonna come into this thread and brag about doing my 5/3/1 routine with a broken pinky.

    but people here have said some amazing stuff!

    the medic who saved the soldier and the person who pulled their son out of the pool and someone holding their moms hand as she died. the woman who gave birth and adopted out a child who was conceived in rape (and put the rapist in jail)

    hats off to y'all.

    Best thread ever.

    Sorry for the giant pictures :blushing:

    The most bad*** thing my daughter and I have done (sorry men)... Did not cry during labor, and delivering at only 37 weeks (Im only a 5'4" body mind you) my 9lb 1oz 20.5 inches long daughter who got stuck, yelled at my doctor to use the vacuum, she came out not breathing, they got her recovered. Turns out the colleague doctor who delivered should have known better and given me a c-section. Got an episiotamy and still ripped after the fact, and got all my stitches after the epidural wore off. After shoulder dystocia, my daughter ended up with brachial plexus damage, her right arm could not function and we were told that is was a 'common injury' for bigger babies and there was a possibility it may never be usable. Without the copious physical therapist and occupational therapist visits they wanted to us to attend (we went to a total of 4 'maybe') in which all they really did was make stupid duck noises at her and lay her on her stomach and check off the other things she should be able to do for her age. Here's the Bad A** part! I helped her recover full use of her arm within 4 months. The final therapist visit we went to, the doctor was in amazement because normally it takes a minimum of 6 months for recovery to occur if at all.

    No right arm function

    You and your daughter are amazing! She's a gorgeous child! Congrats to you both!

    pulled my son out dead underwater in a swimming pool & gave him CPR for what felt like eternity until he gave a little cough & opened his eyes,
    all very by the book & under control, but when he was ok I cried for about an hour

    That gave me the chills. I just couldn't even begin to imagine. I know someone who did this and her son died in the hospital. She was never the same again.

    I love this topic and all the Bada** answers.
    Once our Military Arms room creaked open as I walked by. I went in with a bat assuming I would be killed by thieves... It was a false alarm. Seriously 20 years in the Army and 5 deployments, I am happy that this was one of the scariest moments.

    As a kid, I joined the US Air Force. Later, I indulged my midlife crisis by:
    1. Taking up bagpiping, drinking whiskey, and carrying a knife in my sock.
    2. Bought a sportscar - used.
    3. Bought and learned to ride a motorcycle.

    Skiing A-Basin in Colorado. One of those mountains where you have to hike up to get to the slope, and then jump down a 25ft cliff to start your run.

    It's a tie between skydiving (with an instructor named Sparky) and doing an aerial adventure/ropes course (50+ feet in the air) in a foreign country with no instructions in English.

    I carried a baby for a woman who had cancer. Since I didn't want attention for it, I never told anyone besides a couple of friends. I gave birth to the baby three weeks ago, wore my skinny jeans home from the hospital, and went back to work two weeks later. My co-workers still don't know why I was on leave for those two weeks. Lol

    In the middle of 12 hours of hard labor and my mom........ who did not show up for the baby shower of her first grandchild nor the birth......... has the nerve to call me and wants to see how I am doing! I take the phone as a contraction hits and tell her " I am trying to give birth to your first grandchild! You would know how I was doing if you were here!" I threw the phone and almost hit the nurse! Pissed me off enough though to push thru and push out a 9 lb 10 oz boy who's head was 10 cm! I am 5'2"! 3 days later my mom shows up all upset. I had never talked back to her or yelled at her. Ever since then I have always been able to stand up to her! She is a bully of sorts! I treat her how I want to be treated until she gets caddy, then I let her have it!

    So my bad *kitten* thing was standing up to my overbearing mom! lol

    Took flying lessons and did touch-n-goes in a Piper Tomahawk mixed into jet traffic at Trenton Mercer Airport. Attended a Hare Krishna Kirtan invited by some friends. Took up Bikram yoga at the age of 54 with no prior ability or skill in yoga.

    I asked to separate from my ex-husband at 6 months pregnant and my family on the other side of the country. It was a tough time but the marriage was toxic and unhealthy and I did it.

    Oh and lost 135 lbs with just hard work!! :)
