my last words will probably be "hold my beer & watch this"
I've seen family members pass slowly from disease and fast from accident. I'm not afraid of the other side, i just don't want to leave until my kids are old.

Saw the car coming and couldn't do anything about it. No time. Was on my new bike, broke windshield with my head...
Was just a block from home. Remember thinking "This is It", but no emotion. I'd seen a guy killed the same way a month earlier and that was more emotional. Woke in a pool of blood in the middle of the street, people standing around. Couldn't breathe, tried to get up, one person was a nurse who screamed "Don't move" in my ear and held me down. Finally caught my breath. Was in and out. Cop asking questions, then in ambulance, then in ER. Finally was OK, head full of staples, neck brace for a month, disablingly dizzy. Wiper rubber embedded in my broken R hand. Thing is, I was not scared, was emotionless, tried to 'jump' over the roof and didn't make it - toe clips. Don't ride as much, and never use toe clips. Ever. |

Incredible how sammy's and craigster's experiences and feelings were so different than mine.
They described it as peaceful wheras my situation was pure panic which turned into deep sadness knowing what was about to end. I couldn't even describe how bad I felt.

I would expect to find some comfort looking forward to the 70 virgins. Although the Muslims have traditionally monopolized that concept, I believe its universal. However, depending on the quality of how good or bad you have led your life, the age of the virgins may vary. This brings me back to the cougar thread..

I described how it felt after I went. It happened in my sleep so I didn't see it coming and didn't feel what you did. I remember being very sick. I remember suddenly feeling incredibly joy. Unbelievable pleasure, total absence of anything painful or heavy. Kind of like static on a TV without a station, but very very bright. Not bright in a harsh way, just nice. It kind of focused into tunnel vision. Long tunnel type, but not well defined. Dark on the edges and bright and pleasant in the middle. Total joy. Then I gradually woke and felt bad. Like the weight of the world was slowly lowered onto me. |

Muslims are confused. Robin Williams cleared this up years ago. It's 70 Virginians. Bunch of guys wearing white wigs. Probably a better trade to enjoy bacon 80 years instead. |
