Remembered Little Miss Sunshine was due at the video store yesterday evening. I had watched it with a friend and kept it to watch with my husband. Matthew, my grown son was home for the holiday weekend and we decided to watch it, and then I went to return it a little after nine (PM). Got behind an old beat up truck at the fork, driving eratically.
Got to the stop light. Stopped short to give him space, not wanting to follow him to Stanley (4 miles) and suddenly he started to roll back and right into my bumper before I could even shift into reverse.
In Matthew's car (old Camry), just roughed up bumper. I was okay (I thought but got up before the chickens with my back and sciatic nerve hurting into leg.) When the driver got out he was acting shaky and drunk. Younger man with him. Both claimed he had a bad clutch and wanted me to back up. I said "No, I'm calling the police. Dialed 911. Lincoln county answered. They decided to transfer me to Gaston. Stanley police responded.
I thought the old man was drunk. I told the police what happened. The old guy admitted he rolled back into me. They asked him how much he had been drinking. He said "Just one beer." They questioned him saying they could smell it on him. Tested him and asked about drugs. Both men appeared to have prescription drugs with them and the officers tried to determine what it was but was not completely sure without their ID book. Meanwhile, I had called Matthew while waiting for police. He came and took the movie back. Got to the store as they were locking up and told him he'd have to put it in the drop box. His watch and the clock inside said 9:59. They would not budge. I will take care of the late fee today. (But I went by this morning and it had been checked in with no late fee incurred.)
Officers said I could get a police report today. They said they had other reports of this guy that evening and I happened to be the one to help them get him. I said, "lucky me."
Of course the mind was going through all the what ifs and if onlys. I finally decided it was meant to happen this way. Maybe I saved him from killing someone. Oh, and the police report had errors with my phone number and drivers license number. Got to wait till Wednesday to get one now.

Here's a recent hand painted note card reminding us to TRUST God in all situations.

I therefore select http://storyah44.info/praca+gratka.html several dreams which have painful contents and attempt an analysis of them.. How do you reconcile that with your theory? The dream is as follows:-- I want to give a http://startso11.info/www.zmnch.com.pl.html supper, but having nothing at hand except some smoked salmon, I think of going marketing, but I remember that it is Sunday afternoon, when all the shops are closed.. A boy of eight dreamt that he was being http://startso11.info/Darmowe+programy+antywirusowe.html driven with Achilles in a war-chariot, guided by Diomedes.. It was not quite peep of day, http://startso11.info/hammamet+yasmin+imperial+park.html however, when she laid her well-worn family Bible aside.. The feller took the box again, and took another long, particular look, and give it back to Smiley, and says, very deliberate, Well, he says, http://startso11.info/www.sanktuarium+Maryjne+w+Licheniu.pl.html I don't see no p'ints about that frog that's any better'n any other frog.. I do not know how long I looked, but I had, apparently, http://startso11.info/www.edu.trojmiasto.com.pl.html no power, as I had no will, to remove the spectacles.. It was obviously financial considerations which had moved the lady to refuse the proposal of the http://startso11.info/rachunek+na+podstawie+umowy+zlecenia.html directress, and which were answerable for the triviality of the amount in the dream.. I suppose in reference to our http://startso11.info/www.ambra-club.com.pl.html case.. It would be so http://startso11.info/www.klasaielekteonik.xod.pl%2F.html good for him.. I buy a handful of roses as I come up from the office, perhaps, and Prue arranges them so prettily in http://startso11.info/www%2Cmanutd.pl.html a glass dish for the centre of the table that even when I have hurried out to see Aurelia step into her carriage to go out to dine, I have thought that the bouquet she carried was not more beautiful because it was more costly.. That it proved crowded and full http://startso11.info/www.MR+-+In%C5%BCynieria+Sanitarna+Pozna%C5%84.html of smoke did not trouble him at all, nor did the admiring pleasantries which the splendor of his apparel immediately called forth.. She dragged http://startso11.info/Roman+Pisarski+%C5%BCyciorys.html her chair nearer his desk.. ; through it they dominate our http://startso11.info/mercedes+instrukcja+obs%C5%82gi.html speech and actions, or they enforce the hallucinatory regression, thus governing an apparatus not designed for them by virtue of the attraction exerted by the perceptions on the distribution of our psychic energy.. Such dreams are numerous; they are usually short, and, as a general rule, do not seem very noticeable, because everything remarkable or exciting surprise http://storyah44.info/pozwolenie+na+prace+w+niemczech.html is absent.. For good reasons I refrain from citing here any of the numerous examples placed at http://startso11.info/zabawki+dmuchane.html my disposal by neurotic patients, but prefer to give anxiety dreams from young persons.. In truth, I have observed, down town, that the fact http://startso11.info/ewd.de.html of your ancestors doing nothing is not considered good proof that you can do anything.. II The big http://startso11.info/MielnoLubisz+mie%C4%87%3F.html bays swung to the brow of the hill with ease, and dashed into a small circular clearing, where a quaint little two-story building, with a mossy watering-trough out in front, nestled under the shade of majestic old trees that reared their brown and scarlet crowns proudly into the sky.. Such a dreamer, when dissatisfied with the course taken by the dream, http://startso11.info/super+expres.html breaks it off without awakening, and begins it anew in order to continue it with a different turn, like the popular author who, on request, gives a happier ending to his play.. They shan't nobody take them rooms away from you fer money, marbles, http://startso11.info/www.4lom%C5%BCa.pl.html ner chalk.. Oh, that's perfec' unuseless, http://startso11.info/permission+for+holding+hunting+office.html Pink...
