I almost needed plastic surgery as a child

by Tricia

When I was just a child of 5 years of age I was in a bad car accident. The accident happened on a rainy summer night. This was back in the days when you didn’t have to wear you seat belt in the back of the car – even though my parent always did make us wear seat belts, for some reason I wasn’t wearing mine that fateful evening. Perhaps because I was sleeping in the backseat, maybe I’d asked my dad for permission to take it off when I laid down. I don’t remember now, but I know that if I’d had it on I wouldn’t have been injured.

We were on our way up to the cottage. I was traveling with my father and one of my older brothers. I don’t know why my mom and sister weren’t with us because that was unusual, but they weren’t.

We were driving through a small town and my brother was driving. As I said earlier I was asleep in the backseat of the car. The bridge was narrow and there was only two lanes- one each way. A man, who turned out to be drunk, began driving his car in the wrong lane straight towards our car. My brother couldn’t move over to the opposite lane because of oncoming traffic. All he could do was slow down for the impact.

I must have rolled off the seat and hit my head hard on something. I awoke to the sound of my brother and father yelling. They might have been arguing because I think my brother wanted to get out of the car and beat up the other driver. All that stopped when I sat up and they saw the blood running down my face.

A really nice couple happened to stop to make sure that we were all ok. I don’t know if we’d pulled the cars off the bridge or not … because if we hadn’t I don’t think traffic could have got past us- but someone this car reached us. The lady approached and she saw that I was injured. She offered for her and her family to take me to the hospital while my dad and brother waited for the police and a tow truck.

Now these days no parent would just hand off their young child to strangers, and even then I’m sure my father hesitated but the couple had, oh I don’t know at least three other children in the car and I’m sure that made them look trustable, and in the end they did end up to be very trustworthy as they did take me to the hospital.

My father and brother met me at the hospital and they were there in time to watch and help me get through getting my first ever stitches. I had a huge gash at the top right of my forehead.

Now, being so young at the time of the accident I don’t know exactly how my parents settled with the insurance company regarding the damaged car. I do remember that the car was totaled. The old car had been a Dodge and I think we moved on to Toyota’s for a while after the accident.

I do know that my parents worked with a Car Accident Lawyer to secure some funds in case I needed plastic surgery to repair the scar on my forehead. We got a good sum of money with barely any hassle if I remember correctly. I’m sure the case wasn’t too hard to fight. The other drive was drunk and I was injured. I’m just lucky it wasn’t worse.

The money that had been secured by the lawyer was placed into an account in my name. I never did use it for plastic surgery because, luckily, the scar is right at my hairline and it healed very nicely. Instead I used the money to pay part of my way through college. Nice! I’m sure that if my parents hadn’t have fought for some extra money for my injury that nothing other than money for the damaged car would have been forthcoming. What an irony it would have been had they not and then I ended up having a horrible scar? I’m glad that they did- the money that the lawyer helped them get helped me become a nurse, so the money helped me help others.

Angelina wonders how all the traveling will affect the kids later on

by Tricia

People Magazines latest issue has a story about Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their brood of three active and lively children Madox, Zahara, and Shiloh.

Angela loves their jet set life style, and hopes that at times her kids will got to private schools in the various lands they travel too.

She’s been wondering if all the travel they do now will affect the kids later on in life saying “It’s hard, and maybe one day we’ll have to stay in one place. I’m sure [the kids are] going to be 18 and say, ‘God, I just want to stay in one place.’ They’ll never want to leave home!”

The couple, and their children have spent time in Central America, Asia, Africa and Europe as well as Angelina and Brad’s native USA this year.

Golden Globe Nominees

by Tricia

The list of Golden Globe nominees is out! The 64th Golden Globes, a three hour telecast, will be held on January 15th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and broadcast on NBC.

Babel was also nominate for best screenplay, three nominations in supporting categories, and best orginal score. The film didn’t do all that well in the box office but it’s a major contender for the upcoming awards season.

Then there’s Leonardo DiCaprio who received best actor nominations for best actor in a motion picture drama for his roles as South African jewel hunting mercenary in Blood Diamond, and as an undercover cop in The Departed. Peter O’Toole was also nominated in the same category for his role as an aging actor in Venus, and Will Smith also got a nod for his role in The Pursuit of Happyness, as did Forest Whitaker in The last kind of Scotland.

Clint Eastwood is up for awards in the Best Director category for Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. Letters was also nominated for best Foreign film as the movie is largely in Japanese.

Stars want us to take them seriously?

by Tricia

There seems to be a rise in celebrity alcohol tragedies lately doesn’t there?

The latest is Lindsay lohan, but in the last while we’ve heard stories about Mel Gibson, Robin Williams, Danny DeVito and even George Clooney. Then there’s Britney and Paris.

All of these celebs want us to take them seriously and believe in their causes, but then they go and act like children when the camera lights come on. If you want us to believe in you and watch your films and help you stay on top then you need to start acting mature and taking care of yourselves.
