Thread: Makes Me Think...

http://makesmethink.com

A website in the same format as FML(F*ck my life), MLIA(My life is average), and TFLN(Texts from last night).

Has a lot of thought provoking and inspirational stories.

One of my favorites:
"Today, my sister told me a student of hers turned eight years old on Friday. When I realized he was born on September 11, 2001, I said, "How horrible for his family." My sister explained that his grandfather worked at the Pentagon and skipped work that day upon learning his daughter was in labor." MMT

Read and share your favorites, or even your own stories.

"Today, one of my best friends, Charlie, shot himself in the head at approximately 2PM. And I just noticed that I have a missed call from him on my cell phone with a timestamp of 1:56PM. MMT"

Today, I teased my 27-year-old cousin when I realized that he was afraid of fireworks... But only until I found out that it's not the fireworks themselves, but the sounds they make that remind him of the gunshots he heard overseas. MMT

Today, as I opened the hotel's lobby door to go meet him at the bar, I knew at that precise moment that I was about to ruin my marriage. So I walked back out the door. MMT

Today, we were all so caught up in the morning rush that I forgot to kiss my dad goodbye before he left for work for the very last time. MMT
