Spider has returned with his second Random Thoughts column in as many issues.

This one is important. It's not life changing as he admits, but it is definitely something that makes you think.

Of course, the obvious thing to say is that it's a good thing you, and your friends, are ok. Obvious, but still sincere.

Really liked the article, particularly the 3 vs 1 perspective and your own comments that you didn't run off to Africa afterwards.

It wasn't close enough :cool:

I think for a life altering experience, thinking about mortality doesn't cut it. A true near death experience where you see the light at the end of the tunnel might though. I know that from second hand experience from some friends of the family.

They are not young anymore, around their 60'es, but the man suffered from heart failure and was admitted to ER at the hospital. During the night, he died nine times (no, he isn't a cat) and was rescucitated nine times, ending up surviving. Yet the experience did something to him, made him lose his marbles or something. From being a nice, generous, helpful man, he turned into a bitter sarcastic being running around in the streets telling random passers by that nothing really matters because we are all going to die.

After more than 35 years of marriage, they got divorced. He truly died that night at the hospital when things could have gone either way.

I feel like watching "Final Destination" again :)

Indeed. I'm sure your parents said as much when they gave up their hopes for you. :haha:

It would have been neat if we suddenly had moved to Africa though. :cool:

Funny how the mind works. I had always thought that being in a situation like this would rattle me to the core, but come Monday and I was driving a car and living as though it never happened.

I must be a bit on the slow side I guess. ;)

Ah, so you were there. I wasn't sure but thought you might have been.

Glad you're well and very nice to see you pop in. :)

Thank you. :D

And I do pop in from time to time on a fairly regular basis. But I'm just simply a very skilled lurker. ;)
