Your right about that I'm a c3 and the doc wanted to pull the plug I got a second opinion

I almost died of cancer.

I spun out at 85MPH on a middle of a busy interstate. How I left unscathed I have no idea.

I was running across the street, and some car was a split second close to hitting me.

Well, that's my close encounters with death.

Me and my other cousin were playing monopoly.

I was three, and he was four. And I DOMINATE at monopoly.

Needless to say, I won. But I wouldn't be the winner for long, he decided. So he grabbed a phone (keep in mind this was 15 years ago, so not a cordless one, a BIG ASS METAL FUCKING PHONE) and proceeded to try and smash my head with it. My dad speared him and beat his ass (not really, I mean, he was only four, but when your about to smash your sons head with a big ass phone, it's what you do). Anyway, nothing more exciting that.

I guess the moral of the story would be DONT FUCK WITH ME AT MONOPOLY, OR YOU WILL GET YOUR ASS BEAT.

this thread makes me wonder about all the possible times i could have been close to deaht and not even known it. for instance what if i had left five minutes earlier and had a head on collision with a mack truck...kinda makes ya wonder.....

Ive had 2 close calls... one was an anaphylactic reaction to some almonds, my throat was closing up and the epinephrine wasnt working too great, i lost consciousness for a minute but i woke up and they had managed to make an airway.
Another time was in a friends car, when a stray bullet from some dispute outside a store busted a big hole in the back window, this kid got grazed by it, i guess if i had called shotgun on it im taller than the kid so i woulda been dead, maybe not but its crazy to think about.
weirdest thing was i didnt even hear the shot all i heard was a pop from the glass breaking...

It made me wonder the same thing, too, H4H!

I also had to ponder the various times I was nearly scared to death. Those have usually been when my husband was driving . . . .

I never expected to live to be as old as I am.
I realise how crazy I used to be when it came to risks, in my mind it was all great fun , I never really thought about risk. I had a few bad bike accidents but it was like I had a charmed life.
I WAS FUCKIN' INDESTRUCTIBLE !! :thumbsup:
The long term price of this is a list of broken bones that pretty much runs from my head to my toes (Fractured skull , broke my big toe playing football lol)
I guess even though I still have the urge to do crazy shit and I find it difficult to fight that urge , but these days are different because I realised how much I was upsetting the ones who love or loved me. My mother must have had thousands of nightmares about me ending up dead, girlfriends were often told to like it or lump it if they dared suggest I was selfish and crazy (I was :icon506: ).

I always said if it's going to happen it's just my life on the line, not so sure wether I believe that anymore.
