I was standing on the 9th fairway just after locating my ball. My buddy was behind me and he took a shot not realizing I was standing 100 yards in front of him staring off to the side. He hit a screaming line drive that leveled out at 5'7"...exactly the same height as my eye balls. The Titleist went no more than 1" in front of my face at 10,000 MPH. My eyes were open, but I didn't see anything. The wind was blowing but I couldn't feel it. Lawn mowers were cutting grass but I couldn't hear it. I had a cigarette in my mouth but couldn't taste it. The grass was freshly cut but I couldn't smell it. I was frozen in place for about 20 seconds unable to be human for I couldn't grasp what had just happened and how close I came to (you know). I got the same feeling when reading that post.

Could you still find your ball?

Y'all are going to force them to scrub the thread again. For all the "speechless" and "no comment" posts, there seem to be a lot of comments.

You pickin' on me? ;)

Les, I love you! I'm sure Ms. Clinton has many fine qualities, but honesty really isn't one them.

Sorry mods.

I'll show myself out... :D

That entire post had to be posted for effect/drama/distraction. I can't believe one could possibly believe all that. Ok, now I'll shut up.

That sounds a lot like the feeling I had after missing a stop sign, getting almost t-boned by a car going 45, took out the front drivers side of the car, spun me into a church. Got out of the car, and my first thought was, "Huh, someone has been in a pretty bad accident." Then I passed out and woke up at the hospital.

I wasn't arguing with all of your comments, just, you know, proper place and all that. I don't like it when my posts get deleted.

:lol: That's not only silly it is totally misinformed...especially the compassion part.
The woman is a power crazy liar who let a lot of people die in Benghazi
and has publicly said what amounts to "Let them eat cake".
How people believe her "It Takes a Village" BS and don't see
where she's going with it beats me.
Even my liberal Democrat friends and acquaintances are distancing
themselves from both Mr Soetoro and Mrs Clinton.

...like the grumpy old man said above..what he said

Please don't feed the trolls.

...Liberation News Service..Had my name on all the wrong mailing lists
'cause as a young journalist I had to..Young Socialist Alliance, SDS,
Student Committee to End the War in Vietnam, VVAW. ETC...

Much the same here Hazy. Amazing how much one's views can change with age (and experience).
Reminded of the quote (usually attributed to Churchill, but not quite true)(and I paraphrase)

If you're not a liberal at 20 you have no heart.
If you're not a conservative at 50 you have no brain.

So similar @jmur that the Mr Natural avi that you're using was
the one I used for a while over at the other forum.. LOL.

So you got wrecked in a church? I might consider that providence and be happy to have it end right there. I don't know if I'd ever get another chance.

I'll let you in on a secret. The FDA knows what vaping is, they know the potential, and they know how destructive these regulations are. They don't care. They may not have even had a choice to take a lighter touch.
Bingo! They may very well have not had a choice. If it's really about the money, and we are talking money that keeps an insolvent government afloat, then the negative impact that vaping has had on the tobacco cash cow could be a threat to national security. How can they ignore positive studies, brush off countless success stories, realize a huge sudden spike in declining smokers at the same time vaping is gaining exponential growth, analyze the basic ingredients that are in e-juice knowing full well that they are a reduced harm than combusting and inhaling tobacco. With all of that, and there must be some somewhat intelligent people in the FDA, they are either on a moral crusade, or acting as the henchman for a totally corrupt and immoral government.

Well, they could just tax the crap out of vaping like they do everything else to make up for the loss. Much better option than killing millions of people IMHO.

Bronze, earlier I told the story in another thread of when I was 19
and started off to hitch-hike to Alaska. I made it from Miami to Gainesville, FL where I spent the night at my old roomy's then headed out. I got stuck all night right outside
Athens, Georgia by the side of a two lane blacktop out in the middle of nowhere.
Dressed in my BDU's, no thermals I came close to freezing
the only traffic was going the opposite way..so I crossed the road
and got picked up by
Pastor Roy Gibbs who took me to a bus station and bought a bus ticket to Miami for me.
So I stayed. Can't argue with God...had I not crossed the road
I'd have frozen for sure.

LOL. Why did the hippie cross the road?

That is precisely what is going to happen.
Think of the bad cop/good cop concept applied on a Federal level
