I just contacted a crush from high school. We graduated over 50 years ago. He is awesome and so far we talk every night at least an hour ( record over 4). He lives on the East Coast and I on the West. I am infatuated. Never thought I would be again. We are meeting at a friends house in the mountains and see if there are any sparks ( us, not the cabin).There sure are on my end of the phone. Who thought sparks of loving things could come through a phone call. I hope it works out, but I am better for knowing him.❤️

Set up a time and I'll tell you all about it. Just to warn you. You won't hear anything else like it

I was 17 and recently lost my V-tag with the new girl in school. We got heavy really early and it went good for about a month. After that, she got distant. A couple days goes by and we finally talk again. She tells me that he is sleeping with my best friend and she is pregnant. Well I also found out later, he was also trying to get her to have miscarriage so that is one out of many.

You want to hear about life experience. I have a lot of it. I will not do it here and tell you I got it all right, I didn't. I tried telling it here one time and it was rejected. I carry it with me and I don't talk about it. It's meant to stay with me I guess.

On Easter 2011, My apartment flooded. Our faucet on the bathtub was messed up on the hot side, we used pliers to turn it on. Well that day, the faucet just failed and the whole thing came off and I was in the tub trying to put it back together getting shot with high pressure. One of the neighbors got trapped inside with us because the doorknob on the front door was bad. Thank God it wasn't a fire. The whole apartment was steaming, I had 4 dogs freaking out, a front that wouldn't open or shut. The fire department had to come out here. It was a holiday, and on Sunday, no city workers were working that day. When they got there, they went to shut the water off and could not get to ours, they couldn't find it. Well, it was behind the office in the center of the complex. Weird place for it if you ask me. They came up there and the doorknob comes off in the fire chief's hand. He was furious. Management shows up and she gets arrested for being lit and she was carrying on her. Meanwhile, we have to move to another apartment where I had just me and a grocery cart to move a 3 bedroom apartment by myself.

When I turned 21. My fiance and my family went out to dinner and Jana had a really good day together Went back to my place and got so wasted. My friends came over and brought party favors. Me and her slept together that night for the first time. Now, I had to do it with the lights off, okay. I know I was drunk, I loved her but her face was a brown bag special. Oh god, hey did I think bout that? Anyway, we were goin back to her mom's house and when we pulled up in the driveway, she hugged and kissed me and dropped a bomb on me. She looked into my gloss over my eyes and asked me how the football team tasted. It didn't hit me what she meant. She went on to tell me that she slept with all 22 football players at her school in the span of 2?days. She did all of them before I went and got her. She dumped me, threw her ring in the road and told me she'd rather do that than be my wife. It was 2 weeks before the wedding. Guess I'm glad it happened when it did.

this is a great idea! everyone has a unique story that deserves to be told. i'll share mine: i once took a solo road trip across the country after a tough breakup and realized how much i needed to reconnect with myself. those moments in the car were like therapy.

Thanks for sharing! :) What was the most defining moment of your road trip?

Everyone needs alone time to disconnect from the harvesting system that we have come to be physically present in

I lived in the mountains for three years in my early 20's and was young, drunk and stupid. I have tons of entertaining stories if you want to hear about them. Feel free to dm me so I can perserve at least some of my anonymity

I was in Tennessee in Soddy Daisy. I lived on mulberry mountain.

I was way up in the canadian rockies, loads more fun if you ask me but I might be biased

The thing I loved about it was going out on my front porch with my morning coffee and cigarette and enjoyed that fresh mountain air.

1

Alternative_Cell5139 Mar 27, 2026 +1

A coffee, a cigarette and a mountain sunrise is certainly a top tier combination. I used to wake up early to watch the grizzly mama who lived in the woods near my house. She'd always be in my yard.

tryin_to_chill Mar 27, 2026 +1

We had a neighbor that had a big down and it would come here and visit us sometimes. The whole neighborhood. We also had a family of deer and a bear cub came scratching at my door. The mama wasn't around but I fed it when it came. They found the money 2 miles east of where we were at. She got hit trying to cross the highway. The roads are 2 lanes, so you know how that goes. The wildlife was really something. I even had a vulture land next to me.

You were bear watching?? That's so fuckin cool

1

Alternative_Cell5139 Mar 28, 2026 +1

I always did! I saw a grizzly bear pretty much every day I lived out there. There was about 6 that I saw often enough to reconize and name

Fabulous_Yoghurt_647 Mar 28, 2026 +1

That is so beautiful. You see i live in nyc so hearing about a lifestyle like this is refreshing

Alternative_Cell5139 Mar 28, 2026 +1

It was absolutely breathtaking. I've seen so many exciting things out there, if you ever have a chance I highly recommend.

Story of me doing public speaking first time

tryin_to_chill Mar 27, 2026 +1

Have fun with that. Keep in mind that there will be those who don't listen and will want you to recap. Do not do it or you will end up telling it all over again.

Ex navy here and I have tons of sea stories!

1

tryin_to_chill Mar 27, 2026 +1

I bet you do. Weird things happen out in those waters when you're the only vessel out there.

1

Substantial-Fudge-95 Mar 27, 2026 +1

I was a land based aviator so not much ship time

1

tryin_to_chill Mar 27, 2026 +1

Oh okay, but that is good though. Those ships and the bases and all. Yeah, things happen all the time. Like the legends say bout the ship that were refurbished either sent to museums or out back on the water as another vessel entirely. You take their pasts though.

Funn story from my youth In our city were 2 abandoned buildings right next to each other. They used to be old student residences for a nearby school. I sat on a bench on the old soccer field in front of the buildings with two friends when a group of like 10 people, mostly if not all of them were girls, approached us. They asked us if any of us knew how to get to the roof of one of the buildings, because it was kinda tricky. Since i‘ve been inside them lots of times i knew the trick and told them i can show them while my friends waited outside. So all 11 of us went inside and up the stairs, i showed them pretty quick and during my presentation of the trick i actually stood on the roof for a brief moment. Weirdly they were just like „okay cool“ and didn’t even want to go up there, maybe because it involved a short climb, i dont know. I also dont remember how much time we spent there before going downstairs again but as we walked down the staircase i looked outside and there was a police car. I told everyone and we all started running, it was a mess. I accidentally even tackled a skinny girl to the ground, which i still feel bad for. She was fine though. We all ran across the soccer field where i met my friends and told them the police was gonna show up every second while the others ran away. One of them said „lets just stay here and pretend you weren‘t involved“. Looking back it was pretty risky but i knew the police couldn‘t have actually spotted me yet so i sat down. Sure enough three police officers came around the corner and asked who was on the roof, which was only me. We told them there was this group of people who just ran away and they believed us and turned around. Back then i was totally obsessed with firearms and as the police was just going away i, for some reason, asked them what the official handgun in our state was. He told me its the walter ppk. On his belt was definetly no walter ppk and i googled it and it was actually the p99. I dont know why he would lie to me but maybe he knew i was playing them so he played me back. Edit: i think i missed OP‘s idea but maybe i still entertained someone

Yoooo that's insane

Standard issue police firearms are usually a P9mm or a Glock. Police issued 12 gauge Mossberg pump shotgun with easy pull loading and bore holes in the barrel. I've seen one converted to sawed off, that's how I knew. And, a semi/fully automatic MP5. Depending on the officer, could have holographic sight red beam laser targeting system and custom bump stock. Made mostly of tarnished oak n wood for handling and efficiency.

What are you you talking about uhh

Stories of the past

1

putrid_bitter Mar 28, 2026 +1

This is such a cool idea! I love that you're looking for genuine stories instead of the usual curated content. Definitely makes me think about what my own little victories and stumbles have taught me. Can't wait to see what others share!
