I bet time just stood still for you at that moment. He really should have put the bus in park or even turned off the engine. Maybe he did not want to leave the other little kids alone in the bus? So were you around 11 years old? That must have been terrifying~! :ft:

around that age. It was. Scared me so bad. I thought he was going to run me over.

Nasty cold an coughing fits. Sitting outside Stafford Hall at Seton Hall College as I didn't want to disrupt the presentation any more. Open house and the college offered a fairly good scholarship. My daughter decided to join the creative writing - (fiction and poetry) presentation. Happy to see she might actually do something with her talents. A little concerned with what she can turn that education into. Anybody know anyone that actually did well with fiction writing? :)

I now know how to tie a bow tie. Yes, I am a weirdo. I was determined to learn how to tie a bow tie. Why? I have no clue. No one I know around me wears any type of tie at all. But, if I am ever in a crowded room and I am called upon to tie a bow tie, I will be able to step up and save the day.

Today I got stuck behind clown bus. This is a bus that stops at a local trailer park and I swear more children get off that bus at that stop than the bus can legally carry. I swear it. It's just a never ending stream of kids. Anyway, we have snow on the ground and the road itself is a thick sheet of ice.

I flashed back to when I was a 6th grader and got off the bus under similar weather conditions after school. This was before they had the kids all stand on the side of the road and the driver waved them to cross. Nope, we just got off and crossed.

I walked in front of the bus, slipped and fell on the ice and found myself UNDER the front of the bus staring up at the bottom of it. I laid there for a minute because I was afraid the driver didn't see me fall and would start driving. At least I had the presence of mind to be aware that if he didn't see me go down, if I just laid still and he moved the bus, it would just go right over the top of me leaving me laying alone in the middle of the road.

After what seemed like forever, and the bus didn't move, I crawled on my belly out from under the bus and stood up. Thank God the driver was sitting up leaning over the steering wheel watching for me. Now the big question. Why did this douchebag not get his butt out of the seat and come help me?

Glad you are OK. Geez! Scary. This is quite a story. Yes, he could have got off the bus or at least yelled out his window to ask if you were OK or let you know he wasn't move until he saw you!

I was just thinking how weird it is I live in a state that has about 8 months of winter and I've never been on a snowmobile (that I can remember anyway).

We've had snow since the first week of November, which is much later than some years! Not a lot in the "slope" department, it's pretty flat around here!
