Oh oh - you is in big trouble now Mister!And then they let you out of the Funny Farm, right?
Ahh, Flake knows I love her. She can smack me upside the head if she wants. I'll consider it a 'love' tap.Oh oh - you is in big trouble now Mister!
I am just so glad he had his wife and family to help support him through his recovery. Must be that strong Scots Irish ancestry that helped him pull through!

Like I just read in his book this morning (and I am paraphrasing here) some people's souls are like those wells in Iceland where you can drop a stone and never hear it make a splash at the bottom.
That is a very selfish thing she said (and cruel!) Why didn't you tell her what you thought at the time? (or were you just in shock?)
I felt the same way. Bad of me, but according to one of those quizzes that LeppLady posted, I act like I am 13 years old, so that my excuse and I'm sticking to it. RIP Brian the van driver.It was during a break from reading him. Before I got back in to the beam.
I remember hearing about it, and finding myself weirdly satisfied the guy that hit him was mysteriously found dead.
Way bad of me, I know. But I had a wink towards Sai King. It was so him. to work out that way. KA
Pray for the guy. But I just could not help feeling that way
Ouch! Quit it! Ouch! Quit it! Ouch! Quit it! Ouch! Quit it! Ouch! Quit it! Ouch! Quit it! Ouch! Quit it! Hey, nice butt!No, then they let me.... in.
It probably would have been more fun if I was in the Funny Farm at that time...
Don't worry, he'll get his....
I felt sorry for the driver, too. Sure, he was being less careful than he should, but it was the sort of thing that could happen 999 times and the only result would be realizing how close you were to really doing something awful. The 1000th time it was nearly a life-ender, and of an extremely well-loved person. (Why don't people ever drop their concentration and smack into someone we could do without, like Hitler?)
Wish I could "like" your post more than once....by that van way back in 1999? I don't want to be bringing up the bad-gunky here, I know it's a sore spot with some of us. I wasn't a member (don't even know if the SKMB was around back then?)then. I didn't even know it had happened for a couple of days afterwards. Which is strange for me because I keep up on my Entertainment Tonight viewing religiously and read the paper and watch the news but for some reason it just slipped passed me. Or maybe I somehow blocked it out? I do remember being at lunch with a friend and fellow King fan when she asked me if I had heard the news yet about the accident (which had happened two days prior to this lunch). I remember my stomache dropping and my palms started to sweat. I couldn't finish my lunch. At that time it wasn't known how badly he had been hurt, so it really was a scary thing to go thru. Not as scary as what Steve and his family had to endure. I just remember being scared and feeling so bad for all of the Kings. Thank the Powers That Be that Steve is still here with us all and still able to churn out those books that we all so desperately love!!
I can so relate. My motto in life is: " when things go wrong, there's always Stephen King".True, Scott, Marsha has stated on here a few times that we really didn't know just how very close it was for King. I guess had I known I probably would have had a melt-down. King's novels have always been my, I don't want to say 'life-line', but it just seems like his books have always 'been there' for me, if you know what I mean. Always a HUGE part of my life. Thru the bad-gunky and thru the good times, always a King book to fall into and lose myself in. I never want that to end. Ever.
I can so relate. My motto in life is: " when things go wrong, there's always Stephen King".
My kids have a similar saying. "When things go wrong, check out Stephen King's alibi."I can so relate. My motto in life is: " when things go wrong, there's always Stephen King".
You can always send money!!!!Wish I could "like" your post more than once.
