    I never had a big wheels. Always wished id had one. Then again i was also the kid thst thought jumping a bike off a cliff into a lake while holding an umbrella was a good idea.

    Best broken nose EVER! The look on my moms face when i walked in bleeding everywhere, missing a front tooth (it was already loose and the impact removed it) already getting a giant shiner and dragging a rather worse for wear bike with 3 broken fingers.....priceless. i will never forget that look. Whats funny is i remimber it didnt even hurt that bad XD....for some strange reason i never got another bike though.

    HA HA that is great. I did something similar at age 4 after watching a superman movie. I got up on our shed and had my cape on and jumped. Needless to say what I didn't hurt my Dad beat my ### to make sure it did. Ha Ha Back when you could beat your kids if they needed to be taught a lesson worth learning.

    Oh dont worry i got my ### beat cherry red for that one. First time i ever got my ### belted. I was i think 7 and had seen merry poppins for the first time. Worth it!

    Another good one was my dad sent me to scouts and one of the scout masters loaned me a double barrel 10 guage with a round in both tubes. Now keep in mind i am 5 at the time. So i did what ANY 5 year old would and pulled both triggers without the gun against my shoulder. Broke my collar bone and knocked myself out when i thwcked my head on the concrete. And i STILL got the pidgeon rofl. Got the machine too but.....well i still got the pidgeon. Turns out one scout master had told him id used guns before when id never even seen one to that point. So big oops moment all around.

    I still blame dad for that incident being why i got big time into guns. Funny how as an adult a broken collar bone makes me wince and cringe. As a kid "THAT WAS AWSOME!!!! LETS DO IT AGAIN!!!" And shooting became my big hobby.

    That is to good. When you started out with the scouts I thought OH NO! Not that kind of story telling time. HA HA Just kidding That Scout master should had been beat down for that ####.

    We had guns since I can remember as a toddler and almost got myself into trouble with them. I had too much of a temper and almost shot my older brother when I was 7. Dad found out and locked those up and of course beat my butt so bad I could not sit for a week. I cannot own a gun now since I am a convicted felon but I could get it fixed I guess now. As an adult I never figured I should have one anyways. I don't care about hunting and I always liked to fight. So figured unless I wanted to target practice it was the only thing I would use them for.

    What do you mean back when? Physical punishment is still an option in my household, but I seldom gotta use it. The threat of daddy going crazy and beating ### gets the best out of my kids.

    So,,,what was the question now? It's kind of comical, yet sad, what irritates folks today, we all seem to have a short fuse, and for good reason. We have an "instant gratification" society today, waiting is not an option. Waiting for x-ray results or the decision from some tax lawyer, yes, that's something to be anxious about, but it's easy today to forget we live in a BIG world, and the pickup has every much a right to take all day if they choose. That would upset me too, but we set ourselves up for disappointment, just be glad you can vent it to others that will understand,,,oh, I know what the question was, yes, 2 weeks on the Princess Cruise Line, will do wonders,,for a while. Hang in there pal, I'm glad you even think of having a clean truck.:thumbup:

    Oh I am fully aware it is still happening but not to most households now a days. To many people that can't handle there own kids these days.

    I mean your not wrong. But the reason so many have such short fuses nowadays is most of the release valves have been welded shut and a lot more fuel added to the fire. Combine that with half the country wanting the other half dead and back of the brain fears about all the stress that comes along with modern living and the ongoing brain drain of your average 4 wheeler we get exposed to all day......its not a strech for peoples mental fabric to be streched quite thin. Some have thicker fabric then others sure. But some also have 2 sperm whales a trio of typhoons and a small aircraft group on their mental fabic compared to the other guys shopping cart full of cotton balls.

    TLDR too much stress in life not enough ways to de stress and not close enough together.
