Personally, my life has been perilously close to the edge a few times. The
fact that I'm still here gives me pause. Each incident is like a skin has
been shed from a progressing metamorphosis. Most people I know have stood
at death's door once or twice, but were denied admittance by luck or
attentive guardian angel.


Great idea for a thread! I've been tossing around the idea of a collection
of short vignettes of every time I've almost died...either from being
hammered and not quite getting across the threshold, or taking a random left
turn when later I discover that a right turn would have been fatal. Why not
start a new thread, tell us your 'times I almost died' tale, and lets hear
some skin crawlers from folks.
