I'm haven't had any near death. Or have managed to block them from my mind, Im pretty good at that. Currently my paranoid scenario is tripped by a Washington Post article I read about a woman whose nose kept running for years and she couldn't figure out why...and it turned out to be cerebrospinal fluid leaking out!! Now I'm convinced my runny nose is actual my brain leaking.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Oh dear meta, I'm now at the point in rereading Bureaucracy 1 here where I'm talking about how I'm rereading TT Bureacracy. I am stuck in a meta loop.
Hi future self who is rereading old Natter threads! How's things?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks a hell of a lot for that, meara.

I haven't had any near-death experiences that I know of, and I'd like to keep it that way. Tho' I will admit that some of the foolish things I did in my 20s could have. (Hey, wandering around the Seattle Underground while clutching a bottle of Chartreuse and smoking a clove cigarette is perfectly safe, right?)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Okay, I could have gone the rest of my life never EVER hearing about that little tid bit.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
egad meara, that's as bad as that woman who scratched a hole through her skull.
I'm not sure she wins, though. I might give that prize to Steph for reminding me that in women, mild diarrhea can be sign of a heart attack.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Didn't that happen to George Clooney?
