Yeah, I have to say, these stories just stress me out. Everyone be careful!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My fear is getting in front of a big rig and then traffic coming to a standstill on a down slope and the truck not being able to stop in time and accordianing me. So I try my best to put at least one smaller vehicle between me and the big trucks.
My 80 mph spinout was because a big rig was blocking the view on one of those short on-ramp/exit ramps in Sacramento. The person who cut me off didn't see me, and I didn't see them. It was mostly my fault though because I was going so fast to get in front of the rig to exit, instead of slowing down and going behind the rig.

My friends let me live with them virtually rent free (and fed me royally) for 6 months when I first moved here. And the same friends bought me several bags of groceries to set up my pantry when I finally moved into my own place.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
near death - well, Ive been in car accidents - but no serious injuries. I'm not really a risk taker
I am also glad to see everyone here.
I was thinking more about the vengence thing. - It isn't a belief in karma , but the fact that I have decided that most people that I put in the evil catagory - were that way to me or someone I love, because that is the way they are. And evetually, they will run into a situation that they have made due to thier evil choices in this life.
and I was thinking about all the evil athiest out there. Which is me. Actually , I am an agnostic. ( meaning I suspect there is no god, but I don't really have anything invested in the question) And I find that my ethical standards are high, compared to a number of other people. And I suspect it is because if I have done something wrong, I have done something wrong. If I have done someting wrong to someone, they can forgive me , but I still did something wrong. I can even forgive myself, and move forward, but there is no washing away of sins. I can live with this , because I believe that people gorw. Perfection is a journey , not a goal. ( In other words what is perfection at one time in you life maybe become less importatnt or change as you grow)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I feel like
life is fragile and random, and death is just a whisper away at all times,anyway. Stories of close-call survival give me hope, I guess, because they remind me that it is possible to survive even when the odds are against you. Life is unfair, but because it's random, it's just as likely to be unfair to my advantage.
My monitor here at work makes all the letters very very small. I can't see what I'm typing.
