OMG! Mr. Lixy and I were talking about this very subject just last night. What we were saying is...when he was a youngster and his parents asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, he told them he wanted to blow things up for a living. Naturally, they pffffft this off as the immature wishes of a "boys will be boys" kinda boy. He was the kinda kid that did everything they warned you, "DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME". There he was...right outside, trying to catch an arrow that was shot at him by a friend, after seeing it on a television show called "That's Incredible" back in the 80's...etc!

Anyway...low and behold...through purely coincidental circumstances...while hubby was an unemployed diesal mechanic...we moved to an apartment where, just next door, there happened to be a person who was in the explosives industry...and he was looking for an apprentice!!! Tada!

And...we said..."What if we hadn't moved to that apartment"? It was astounding that he wasn't looking for that particular job anymore...but it came right to him anyway!

As for me...I would have had the doctor take it ALL out...way back when I was 28! Some peeps may understand that statement better than others...lol!

BTW PashkinThePanther? Have you seen the movie "The Butterfly Effect"? It's of that same premise.
