I found street lamp and was 2 times. From now on when I'm near street lamps they often turning off which is fck strange. Second time I was using electric hedge saw in a garden. I cut cables! In a shock (as equipment wasnt mine) I used naked hands to tie the cables. Electric hit was fck huge |

User ID: 78859924 United States 04/07/2021 11:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I lived on the Northwest part of town. I went to a party way over on the eastside because a friend of mine knew this girl having the party and she invited us. I drove over there in my 1969 Pontiac LeMans with another friend of mine. I got extremely drunk. So drunk that I couldn't drive home. My friend took my keys and he drove while I slept. At about 3:00 AM he woke me up and said "You have to drive, I can't drive anymore...and I'm Lost". I looked around and figured out where we were. He had driven East and he went 60 miles in the wrong direction. I started driving the car. I drove the sixty miles and it was about 4AM. I found the highway, went through the city and went North, I was two exits from our home exit when I fell asleep at the wheel. My car was in the middle lane, late at night a tractor trailer was in the left lane travelling fast enough that it went past us. I woke up with the collision. I looked out of my front window, and the rear end of the tractor trailer was about 3 feet from my face. The car had gotten hooked under the back end of the tractor trailer and we were travelling about sixty miles an hour. I screamed and woke my friend up, or the collision woke him...don't know for sure. The car suddenly came loose of the truck, spun out of control and wound up on the pavement on the right side of the highway. The front end of the car was destroyed. The truck never stopped, either not realizing what had happened, or not caring. Neither of us had a scratch. We started walking to the exit of the highway (no cell phones back then). When we were walking down the exit ramp a cop car pulled up and asked if that was our car. We explained what happened in the sense that we got dragged by a speeding truck and came lose. He told us he didn't believe us, but he could find no evidence that we had struck any guard rail or anything. He drove us back to the exit where he found us. It about 4 am. We both walked the five miles to our homes. At 5:30am I woke my mother up and told her I had been in an accident and that my car was destroyed. She said, "God has a reason for you to be alive" and she went back to bed. I've never figured out that reason. He still makes fun of the way I screamed.

User ID: 27648869 United States 04/07/2021 11:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, but not without finding that Devine intervention is a real thing. When I was a kid, I was really into pushing myself to the outer reaches of the limits. I wanted to be a stunt man so bad. One day when both my parents were at work, I was about 10, I decided to make a grappling hook attached to a rope. The grappling hook part was an old piece of aluminum fencing that was bent up. I eyed the tallest tree in the yard and threw the hook up as far as I could and started climbing. When I reached the first point, I unraveled the hood and decided to throw it up again to the next point. I was determined to reach the top. About 75 percent of the way up I was pulling myself up to the next branch when the hook gave and I started to drop. My feet flew up past my body and the right leg of my jeans got caught on a broken branch and I came to a hard stop and slammed my head against the trunk while hanging upside down. I was panicking and looked up to see what I got stuck on and....I saw what appeared to be an arm sticking out of the tree and was holding onto my jeans. I couldn't believe what I saw and looked again, only this time the arm was gone and there was that broken branch that jabbed into the end of the leg on my jeans. I didn't quite understand what I saw that day, but later on as I got older I started to realize what actually happened - Devine Intervention. It wasn't my time. |

I was so glad to see her and felt truly loved at that time, more than ever. She told me I could not stay. I had something to do that I would understand in time, but I could not remain with her now. That my life would give life to others, nd it needed to be so. The trip back into my body was like being pulled through a vacuum and then the pain hit. It was like the best dream I ever had and it ended abruptly. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76842300 United States 04/07/2021 11:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Three scariest examples: Our ambulance almost slid off the Inola bridge transporting a very sick man, and good friend, in an ice storm. I was in the back, as we were sliding, unbuckling my friend and patient, so we could all three dive out of the truck as we sled toward a 90 foot drop. Our was standing to the left of a door when a drunk Indian shot out a motel door because we were their to treat his injured girlfriend. He blasted the door with double 00. Left a pie plate size hole in the door at the exact spot where my partner was standing a moment earlier when I said, "hey, step over here by me." Our air boat stalled while rescuing a lady and her kids off a bridge during a flood. I was tethered to an old iron bridge when the air boat died and drifted out to the end of the mooring line. I could feel the bridge shuddering with the force of the water. On my right hand side, a twenty to thirty feet raging Oklahoma creek swollen out of its banks. To my left, a roadway covered in eighteen inches of water. Just enough water to throw her minivan against the iron railing. Somewhere there is a great photo of it with the caption. "Paramedic Clarence Winchester (not my real name, duh) stands on the rail of the Undisclosed Creek Bridge as Firefighter Great Guy attempts to restart air boat engine." Honestly, I think number three still makes me a little queasy. And you know everyday in this country, there are volunteer firefighters and EMTs that do those same things with little more than a "thank you". While fucking fat, useless cunts like Henry Kissinger try to remind us how expendable we all are to them. |
