    which time? The time I had a gun stuck in my face? The time some jerk pulled a knife on me in the rain while I was trying to get gas to my car after Id run out? The time my daughter almost choked to death and I had to save her? The time I was in 2 bad car accidents exactly 30 days apart? The time my son was born and was life flighted to a NICU because he couldnt breath less than 8 hours after his birth? The time I gave up on myself?

    Florence, OR Oregon Coast Family vacation
    Decided to take our boys pre teens dune buggy riding in the sand dunes.
    We all had our own rented dune buggy, which I was not thrilled about but...oh well.
    Before I knew it I was all by myself ! Miles and miles of sand every way I looked and hills, major drop offs.
    Had absolutely no clue which way to go to get back where we started.
    After a long time an hour or so...seemed like days. A tour guide found me and just yelled "follow me" and off he went.
    I did and had to basically fly off some sand mountains in the process but I had to keep up with him.
    Never, I repeat, never again.

    One time my brother pushed me into the fish hatchery pond.....

    I've had a phobia of fish ever since.

    True story, but really it was probably when I was sleeping in my bed as a kid. My mom would regularly come to my bed at night when her husband started to snore because she was such a light sleeper....one night I heard her come in and start to lay down like she usually did. I sat up and said something like, "Is Brad snoring?" and she didn't answer. I fell back asleep. Next morning I found out she never came in.

    :noway:

    My two scariest moments probably happened when I was a kid. Some older kid pulled a knife on me when I was about 8 and took everything I had on me. What a jerk. I don't know what ever came of him though.

    The other was when I was 9. I was swimming at the beach and I got caught in an undertow. I blacked out, and popped up about 100 ft offshore. Scared the crap outta me. A friend of mine said I went "missing" for about 2 minutes. Kids kind of exaggerate time though so who knows how long I was under.

    My boyfriend and I were driving home. On our way home a person stops in front of us, to make a left turn. He stops because there is a car coming from the other direction making his turn unsafe. So we stop behind him and wait. A speed demon behind us, speeds past trying to pass both of us. That driver nearly avoids a head on collision (a crash that would of not only taken out the speed demon, and the car in the other lane... but also my car and the car in front of me), By swerving off the edge of the road, down a steep hill, and miraculously manages to not flip his car and get it back onto the road from speed alone.

    Rivaling that one was another incident. Me and my family had gone out to Dinner, Red Lobster as a treat! I got crab legs as usual. After that we went home. I started feeling ill, so I went to bed early. At midnight, I woke up, barely able to breath, with the most awful headache. I went down stairs and took a ibuprofen for the headache, and got a drink at the sink. Looking at myself in the mirror, I freak. My face is so swollen I can't recognize myself. That's when I wake up my mother, who immediately calls the ER, and makes sure she can shove some Benadryl in me on top of the Ibuprofen. By morning, I was still unrecognizable. Weeks of being ill plus Months of doctors/Specialists later, we discover; that I, am allergic to crab. We also realize then, that If I had not woken up when I did; I never would of.
