Water seeks it's own level. It is a basic law of physics. It is the same with people. I don't think that there is any accident as to why certain people come together.

Clough, yes, I was hurt but not too badly. I was on the main thoroughfare, the driver of the truck was at a stop sign but tried to get across the street and just as I was about to hit the truck broadside, I turned in with the truck. The bike hooked onto the truck then when he was on his brakes, the bike let go and I slid on the street on my back. I remember thinking, "chin to chest, chin to chest!" to keep from having a head injury. I was taken to the ER and the police called my brother to meet us out there. My parents were out of town. I was in a bit of shock and it pulled the ligaments in my foot, the same foot I had cracked twice before! Just had x-rays and they wrapped the foot and had to keep it that way for weeks. The bike was messed up but got it fixed.

I cringed when I read your post that the car hit you and it broke your leg. OUCH! Did it heal okay? Does it still give you trouble? That must have been traumatic for you at that age. Isn't it amazing how each of us have had such diverse lives, yet similar experiences and now here we are, strangers becoming friends as we share art and life! Life is good!

Ummmmm... no... I NEVER use a net! Funny you should ask. I used to have an aquarium with 1" rainbow trout and 5 crawdads. The crayfish (crawdads) would climb up on the rocks at night and sing the most unusual songs to me! It was so very beautifully strange!

Interesting thought Clough!

A reason, a season or a lifetime? Friendships!

grammadidi

Oh, yes, we sure do sound like soul sisters! Thank you so much for sharing! It is so much fun to read about each other. Helps to identify people more with their work.

I too, would love to hear more about the artists posting here.

Hugs, Didi

grammadidi

Very insightful, Craig. I totally agree.

Hugs, Didi

Clough

You gals are getting ahead of me here!

jrebel7

Well Clough, you better hurry and catch up with us!

I just posted a pic of me on my new bike (well it was new four years ago or so). I bought it just before I quit working outside the home. My husband doesn't ride so I figured I better purchase one while I had the money because after being off work, I figured unless I sold a lot of art work, money would not be plentiful in my account. LOL

Clough

I know that there is a softer side to you, Didi! I can tell it by the art in which you express yourself and the things that you say when you post. Just the fact that you end with "Hugs, Didi" speaks volumes in itself!

At one of the grade schools where I was a music teacher, I had to play for all of the children's masses. The priest said that he could tell a lot about what kind of person I was by the way that I played.

We can tell a lot about how you are, Didi, by your art and the things that you say. Artists know how to "read" each other! Oh also, there is an art in the way someone writes things. Maybe writing is something else that should also be included in this thread. But then again, maybe not. There is already a Writing topic section on this site. But, maybe it would work in this thread also.

I am glad that firmbeliever started this thread! It really seems to be a topic in and of itself!

Clough

Where's my bike? It might help me to catch up!
