I got to think on how to say it all without turning it into a novel. But I'm interested in this reading thread. Excellent question.
Flake - that's horrible. You must have been terrified! I hope y'all got the heck out of there forever.
Just moving to this rural area, two small children. Not many people in the area yet. New guy moves in about a mile down the rd and decides to clear his land via fire. Needless to say it got away. Watching and helping the neighbors contain and put out the fire before it reached our homes. Fire department was far away/ Forestry did come and make fire breaks. All homes were safe, but fire always scares me to death.
Probably the time I got rear ended by an F350 and pushed into the cube van in front of me on I93 North. I was on my way to school. My poor 94 Cavalier was mooshed 
Good question, not_nadine! I'll have to think on this for a bit.
There are so many, but I'll go with the time a guy approached my friend and me and asked if we could score drugs. (Apparently we looked like hoods, lol)
He lifted his shirt to reveal a handgun in his pants. He asked where we lived and I lied and pointed to the nearest house. My knees were like jelly.
He eventually got bored with us and left.

It sounds so old timey, but I nearly died in childbirth. I have posted this story here before so I'll keep it short. I hemorrhaged after a c-section, and they couldn't run blood in as fast as it was pouring out.
They sent for my husband (he had gone with the baby after the birth.) I said, "He really doesn't do well with blood and stuff, you probably shouldn't bring him in here."
The doc said, "You need to kiss your baby, and you need to tell your husband goodbye."

Holy hell! I didn't know it was THAT CLOSE! I am so glad you are here hip!
Me too! The weird thing is that I didn't really "get" it for a couple years. Like my brain understood it, but also kind of thought, "Yeah, but I can't die, I'm the one point of intersection for everyone and everything I know. If I go off the cliff the world will fall apart!"
Yes, I've been tested, I'm a genius. This is another one of those reasons I submit that having a genius level IQ means nothing related to what we consider "smart."

I remember, and I did not know it was that close either. Jens.
How is the lil baby bonecrusher? Glad you got thru.
That was one hecka pregnancy you had there. We all were waiting.
He's probably got big and crushing new things now. Must be 3 or 4 now?

They needed you, Jen- wasn't your time. Way too close. I remember you posting about it too.
...he is a very cute little feller.....
Wisc/WAIS/Mensa doesn't matter much, statistically IQ implies a causal correlation between the quotient and a person's ability to achieve a socially acceptable level of success. Once the quotient hits the right side of the curve at a certain level, other factors obviously apply. Momma raised an idiot. I think I've mentioned the two times I died of asthma, the close calls regarding snuff films (confirmed),I can relate to these stories, I don't want to rehash my crap right now. Please don't misconstrue my tone. Enjoy being here, sorry ((
(SKMB))) for sharing too much and not having a clue.
Had my life threatened by a real bad boy at the shelter where I managed. He went to jail but I ran into him again when I was doing a search and intake on him at intox in the city. My mouth just dropped. He was too wasted to remember me though.
Had a gun held my head by ex-boyfriend had a gun held my chest by a psychopath. This is all I can say right now because I have to work in 20 minutes I want to take Alex swimming. Dictating, yes there are a couple of worse situations, Not including and during years of physical beating, choking, bruising-no I don't like abuse. Anyone presumptuous enough to underestimate the courage it takes to publicly mention an abusive relationship has never been in one.

Wow, it seems like a lot of us are fortunate to be here! I'm glad you all are hanging in, it's scary how dicey things can get, and how quickly!
