Me too. I did 2 of those after school driving courses in the 70’s. Got 10% off insurance for taking the course as well. I also did a 3rd course paid by my mom as it included training on standard. I already knew how but if I told my mom I would be busted for stealing my dads truck to drive around and also drove a friends standard while underage.
Edit forgot to say I went for my chauffeurs license. It opened me up to drive more types of vehicles if needed.
I would get my hand hit with a ruler so I would not write with my left hand. My over 60 yr old spinster teacher said it was a sign of the devil.
Second time also involved the same batshit crazy teacher. I was outside the classroom by the windows and there was this big sheet of steel on the ground. I being a dumb kid thought it would be fun to jump up and down on it making a very large racket whilst happily jumping. Teacher comes out and starts boxing my ears screaming why did you not stop, I kept telling you from the window. All I said was it was loud.
I am 68, I am sure as shit it is not ol’ St. Nick knocking at the door. I seem ambivalent actually. All I know is I really, really, really, really do not wish to feel any sort of pain if possible.
I am 68 so it’s prime time for boomer friend pop offs right now.
I was 100% healthy until 59 and then I got a pinched nerve in my back, sciatica and neuropathy all within 6 months. Now I can only walk 10 paces and I have to sit. I don’t have a fair assessment of aging cuz that shit stepped in but if I did not have all that crap I would just say arthritis bugs me.
It was The Who’s 1st last world tour in Toronto at the CNE back I think in the 80’s.
I get a call from a crazy friend (female) saying she got back stage passes to meet The Who and can I drive her to the CNE. I took her down and she told guys guarding the gate that I was her security. I was 6ft, 300lbs, big red beard almost to my waist and a huge Afro so I sorta fit the bill.
Once back stage I, star struck, met Pete Townshend and asked him did he hurt his visibly hand wrapped loose bandaged hand doing his signature hand swirl or smash a guitar. His reply, no I had a fight with my wife and punched the wall. I realized he was also just a guy as well as a star. I never looked at a famous person the same way again. More just like another person doing extraordinary stuff.
I saw Entwistle but did not speak with him. I did not see the other band members at that point. I also did some “illegal” substances with “certain” people. Had lots of fun. Got silly and stole the Argos golf cart helmet drove it around and got chased by security. I remember getting away but for some reason I cannot remember much after that point. I do remember it was a great night.
Tis a smart mouse. Place is pretty clean cause they’re always inspecting, but of course it had make its home behind the one thing that it’s really hard to get to. Ripped it out and left it open for a few days to bang the register and other psych games.
I would’ve preferred a ghost. I don’t think they like to or cannot chew wires. Actually, the poltergeist is in the kitchen. There’s always things falling over in there.
I just did that with a mouse that came into our apartment.
Due to my health I do not sleep well. During the day I would bang on the register (were it moved in) every hour so to keep it it from a good nights sleep and at night too. I played rat and other predator sounds. When I ate I would make yummy sounds and go mmmm. That was a week or 2 ago. Unless it died or moved on as I no longer hear it. Most likely it just moved to another room but nothing for a few days now.
You could not pay me to get inside of any Tesla product. Crappy quality, crappy design, crappy materials, crappy everything. Just another PE for guys with itty bitty weenies.
I remember hearing about it back in the 70’s. Mentioned to my dad and he said he heard about the invasion part (most people did not hear the warning part at beginning of the show as they tuned in late).
My dad and his 2 brothers took off for a week to the bush (they lived in northern Ontario) saying let’s see what’s happening after that week.
Take the story as you wish, could have been true or they liked spinning stories.
Was easy to believe as when they were younger they did go to the bush fairly often.
You had installed already?
