We should all share something about ourselves on Viva, never told on the Zone.
Forums:
You can share whatever you want. Something very emotional, or a simple laugh at yourself kind of thing.
I will go first. When I was 12 years old my father had an affair with his secretary. I didn't believe it when my mother told me. They seemed happily married. Came home from school one day, and found my mother crying in the kitchen. Thus, I asked her what was going on. She told me about the affair, and that my father had moved out. I didn't believe her. Went into total shock, and spent the night staring at my ceiling fan. The next morning my mother knocked on my door at sunrise, and told me to come with her. I quickly got dressed, and we got in the car and drove to my father's secretaries house. My mother drove right through the front yard, and didn't stop until we were parked on her front porch, a foot away from the front door. My mother started honking the horn. Sure enough with in a few seconds my father opens the door wearing a robe, with shaving cream on his face. My life changed drastically that morning. What doesn't kills us makes us stronger.
Please share Zoners. Can be a fun story, like the time I ran a snake up a grain auger that hit my Grandfather in the head. Emotional healing, and good times ahead Viva heads.

I once found a dead body next
I once found a dead body next to the railroad tracks in Tucson. Poor dude still had the needle in his arm. I had weed in my pocket
when reporting the find to a passing police officer and received a citation. No thank you from the cop or anything. He treated me
like I had stuck the needle in dude's vein.
Thankfully it wasn't Phoenix. Possession of cannabis was a felony in Maricopa County at the time. Even something as small
as a gram, a seed or even a pipe. In Pima County it was a ticket-able offense.
So of course I skipped the court date and forgot all about it. Five years later I'm in front of a Burger King kicking down some change
to a beggar for food. I turn to head into the restaurant to buy lunch and the manager is there telling the both of us to leave.
There is no begging here... Little did I know verbal assault is a crime in Arizona punishable by arrest. I curse the manager out up
and down informing her I was on my way inside to buy lunch. She can forget it now. I'm leaving. I wasn't the one spare changing!
She calls the cops and I am arrested a mile down the road.
Not for verbal assault though. For a bench warrant five years earlier in Tucson... Shit on by the law twice for doing the right thing.
Screw Whitey!

When I was like 3 or 4, I was playing with my older brother's hampster and it made an interesting squeak when I dropped it.
It only made that squeak one more time, then it would not squeak any more no matter how many time I dropped it again.

When I was about seven years
When I was about seven years old my sister had a cockatoo. She loved the bird. Cockatoo's are not easy to teach how to talk. My sister could get it to say hello, and thank you. One day
my father and I came home early for some reason. We were the only ones there. A loud commotion was coming from my sisters room. The cat had knocked the bird cage down from the
ceiling. The cat had both paws inside the cage, and the bird was almost dead. My father grabbed the cat, and threw it down the stairs as hard as he could. When it hit the door at the bottom of the stairs, bam
the cat suffered a head injury, and died.So now we have a dead bird, and cat on our hands. My father quickly loaded them in the trunk of the car. We drove to a convenient store close by, and he threw them in
the dumpster. My father decided to tell them that when we got home the bird was dead, from natural causes, and the cat was probably simply hanging out outside somewhere. I went with his lie, and never told
my sister what happened. My father can be a real prick.

When i was around 9 or 10 we would take my Dads dodge duster out at night, we had this fake flashing light, so we would drive around pulling people over then drive by laughing hysterically.

Then around the same time period we had this most excellent high pressure fire extinguisher, we would cruise around looking for kids hanging out on the street and slink by and blast them, then again drive off laughing hysterically.

when you grow up on a farm in ireland or the bronx you can appreciate cats. the cats were always fed and cared for just like you put gas in your car.

The whole dead bird, and cat thing gave me night mares for years. My father is an attorney, and had a short temper when he was young. I remember him punching holes in the walls when OU would lose a football game. He is mellow now. Never hit me or my sisters, but we knew better than to piss him off. I am glad he cheated on my mother. They divorced after that, and I am a better man for it.

Okay a fun story. When I was
Okay a fun story. When I was in the tenth grade there was a really hot chick living a neighborhood away from me. We were in AP history together, and became friends. I always wanted more, She
simply wanted a ride to and from school. This continued all the way through our senior year. She dated older guys. Out of school, that managed restaurants she worked at. A couple months
before graduation I was going to get my senior pictures after school. When I started to take the left turn to take her to her house she said hey why don't we go to your house. I was so dumb I
responded with why. She said I don't want to see my little brother right now. Thus, we went to my house. She fucked my brains out. Probably only lasted five minutes, but damn sure put a smile
on my face. You know senior pictures are always hanging in all of your relatives house, or pop up from time to time. I have the best smile on my face. Every time I see one the fist thought that
enters my head is her riding me on the water bed. We never did it again, or spoke of it again. Ass, Cash, or Grass no one rides for free. :)

Yes Fog, sorry but I must
Yes Fog, sorry but I must agree with Zippy on this one. Cats have an instinct to kill birds. Humans kill cats because they are dicks. Humans don't eat cats. Cats eat birds. I think you get
the difference. My Dad was probably fucking one of his co workers at that time as well. lol My Dad isn't a bad person, simply doesn't like cats, and enjoys cheating on his wives. He has mellowed in his old age. He is very
competitive and really wanted my son to be a big time sports player. My son is not into sports. My Dad is proud that he is into Orchestra, and Student Council. I saw him earlier today, and he
asked what my son wanted for Christmas. I told him a new Chess board. He got really excited that he was involved in anything competitive. I bet he spends several hundred dollars on the Chess
set. My father doesn't play chess. I bet he will also buy a book for himself to learn the rules.

My father was raised in a small town in Kansas. The town had two swimming pools when he was a kid, one for white folks, and one for the black kids. He used to use the N word during all sporting
events. He has really changed over the last 20 years. My grandfather died of alcoholism when my father was 40 years old. I was five years old, and don't really remember him. The things I do
remember are not good. Then my uncle died of alcoholism when my father was 65 years old. My father doesn't drink. He voted for Hillary, but would have much rather voted for Bernie. He is not a
racist. I am sure some of it is still in his head from his childhood, but he isn't racist. Has a couple of pictures of Obama in his office. Felt kind of good to say something nice about him.

You don't have to hit return unless you want to start a new line or paragraph, you can just keep typing and it will go to the next line. If you want to start a new line or paragraph and you care about spacing, take a tip from this (copied from formatting):
Hold down the shift key while pressing return to go down just one line.
Otherwise, use just the return key for a paragraph break, a 1 1/2 line space.

We had a Manx cat named boots when I was a kid. She had upwards of 70 litters of kittens. Of course I was the one who
had to sit in front of the grocery store and either sell them or give them away. At the end of her life she was so tired of
taking care of babies she would just smother them to death. At least one or two kittens every other litter would be
born deformed. One we called frogger because it's back legs were spread out like a frog. She was probably
copulating with her offspring at that point. Very disturbing that we never got her fixed.

I tell her to turn it off. She starts backing up instead, and the car dies. There was a cat stuck in the fan belt. Still alive, but not happy. The neighbors that own the
cat come out, and are crying. No cell phones so we ask somebody to call 911. A cop shows up, and puts on a leather glove, and strangles the cat to death. I still
got detention, and the neighbors never spoke to us again. Poor cats, they get killed in the most awful ways.
