Does luck come in threes? Last friday I get a 3rd place finish. This past Tuesday I get second on a track that I have broken on every time. TODAY! Open house at a parts wharehouse I deal with. They have give aways all day, must be present to win with two chances. One table has die cast cars, 2 pressure washers, a gas grill(huge), a flat screen tv and more. I win a die cast car. Thinking it's hot and I'm tired I almost go home. Yes I won the grand prize. It's a new pipe bender valued at $6300.
Let's hear yours.

I would have to say....a bank teller alerting their main headquarters that someone tried to pass a check they fabbed up with our name and banking info all over it, written for a large sum of money. We were alerted quickly and the B******* never got a dime.

Lately...I'd have to say figuring out my fiance is a bi-polar freak....I guess I should say x-fiance.


BRAVO!!!! better now than too late. Same thing happened to my best bud a few years ago. Found out she was a total psychobitchfromhell just before they were to be married.

Well I have to say winning the pipe bender was sweet, but not the luckiest thing that ever happened to me.

At the young age of 27 I under went two cancer operations. I was given less than a 50% chance of making it. The first removed a fast growing tumor from my tongue. It was so bad I couldn't eat. The second removed the glands and nodes from the right side of my neck. With the second operation there was a good chance I would lose the use of my right arm. Guys it was so bad I told my mother to leave the hospital. Yes I am lucky! I am 42 years old and sad to say I out lived my mother that died from cancer.

Wow! I bet that put things in perspective for you at an early age. Definitely a life changing event that would make you appreciate life more than most 27 year olds. I'm thankful you made it through.

Cancer sucks.

My daughter being born premie (30 weeks 3lbs) and spending a month in the hospital, she's 8 now.

But I have always said that everyday I wake up is a nother day in paradise......


So I would have to say my luckiest days are the ones I get to spend with my kids......SO EVERYDAY is a lucky day......till I take a dirt nap.

I won't even go into all the times I've survived car accidents (including the times that Alan didn't kill me himself), atv accidents, waterski accidents, horse accidents......

Hmmm...it's been a fun life for the most part.:D But, luck didn't play a part in any of it. My poor guardian angel works so much overtime. Probably gonna slap me when we meet face to face someday!

It all happens for a reason, right? I've had three people tell me that just today! Guess it's true.
