Mine was very similar except for the good luck and the bad luck.
Car ran crappy all week, but it ran.
Didn't win any money but I found a quarter under the passenger seat. Was it yours Adam?
No one bought my groceries, but they gave me $200 cash.
I still have all my false teeth in place.
I added two hat pins to my collection.
Arrived home safe and sound on Sunday.
Save the Wave!

What I'm curious about is...why/how the heck you had time to put all that on a "timeline"???? You must have something similar to photographic memory....
The real question is...DID YA HAVE FUN OR WHAT?

Wait - I think there's an item of good luck you failed to mention.
When driving from Rhode Island to Connecticut and your car dies in Wyoming, you find a Napa with parts in stock across the street within walking distance (not to mention having Dr. Joel's number programmed in your phone for a diagnosis).
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

OUR good luck is the fact Adam made it home and is now under the watchful eye of his wife. WE can rest easier. Until the next time. Adam, you are a piece of work ~ not sure whose ~ but certainly a piece of work. And you are a blast to be around. Had a fun time watching the show.

SOOO if one(1) positive span of time deletes two(2) negative spans of time you're still ahead by a land slide urrmmm
were the shorts your most favorite shorts? when you got lost trying to find a gas station could you call that a spontaneous road trip? It's all in one's out look. Coupon Lady was quite a teacher of life we all need to meet angels like that. Thanks for sharing I like lists myself puts things in journal form. in Forum: Annual C3VR Member Gathering
