Finish this sentence: I got dangerously close to

sanity

To the railroad tracks a train was coming and wow shooow close call !!!!!

> sanity

Linda has lost her sanity , Linda has gone off her rocker

One time I almost went sane. What a boring day that was.

This was inspired by this beautiful interview in the Guardian with David Thewlis (Naked has just come out on DVD) about the film and Mike Leigh's techniques. Oh God, it's awesome. He says at one point 'I got dangerously close to Johnny.' Lovely stuff.

I got dangerously close to you.

To be sane is awful boring !!!! oh ouch"

drowning when I was about 6 six years old

I got dangerously close to wetting myself a few days ago, but thankfully I found a toilet in time.

lots of things; I was "real world" deployed 4 times in 9 years when I was a soldier.

Yikes, you must have been scared crapless.

We were clearing some brush in the woods and I was swinging it back and forth somewhat carelessly and she reached down. We had a near miss. She was a little miffed. It wasn't so bad at the time, but afterward I kept thinking about it and what would have happened if I'd hit her with it. The guilt would have screwed me over for years, I'm sure. Anyway, I try to keep that in mind when I'm doing stuff so that I'll be more careful.

More often than that, people only realize what happened after the moment has long since passed.

Blowing my fudging brains out this morning.

How are you now?

I think I'll make it, thanks for asking.

If you ever want to talk, just PM me

becoming born again. It didn't 'catch'. I didn't need to be saved I guess, I gave it my best shot twice.

When I was about 10, I insisted my mum come watch my golf swing. I proudly and strongly swung the iron back and hit her square in the mouth. She hit the ground hard with muffled screams and blood was everywhere. I cannot begin to realize the trauma it did to me at that moment and for weeks after. Essentially, it was her fault, but being 10. I had that nagging "mom...mom...mom...watch me" until she gave in and came over to me to get me to stop, so I had a lot of guilt for that.

hurting someone else is a traumatic thing... it being your mother could only make it worse

...sharting, but as it turned out it was nothing but air.

I can relate very well. I retired from the Air Force six months ago after 21 years of service. I traveled to every state and more than 40 different countries (some many times over) on deployments and temporary duty assignments.

Getting bit by a rattlesnake last summer.

Thank you, It's nice to know I have friends. I have my moments, my cat rides with me, sometimes that's all I need, It sucks being alone as much as I am.

to shaving my armpits this morning - but I resisted manfully!!! Who's getting close enough these days anyway??

My last assignment before I volunteered for Iraq was at Yokota AB, Japan.

Is a career change completely out of the question?

At my age (almost 56) it's not likely. The best I can hope for is the company I'm working for keeps me on for awhile.

Damn...

Survey Central's genitals

My last assignment before I retired was in Colorado Springs. We still have my house there, but my wife and I are currently living in FL dealing with some family issues. I've been to Iraq and most of the other Middle Eastern countries several times.

Me, too. But I much prefer Asia. Actually, I prefer Asia to Europe; I don't have much use for Europe.

> Me, too. But I much prefer Asia. Actually, I prefer Asia to Europe;

I've been to most of the countries in western Europe and parts of Asia. I prefer Australia over both of them.

I was only in Australia for about a month, and I did like it, but I can't say much more than that.

I got dangerously close to forming an opinion

Australia is nice, but there's no place quite like the USA.

Death.

A Thoracotomy (and flowers from my friends at SC) saved my life.

Ew. Turtle shart.

this survey, but decided not to vote

No, there's no place at all like the US; I am never leaving again.

> No, there's no place at all like the US; I am never leaving again.

I'm not planning on leaving the US anymore either: I've spent plenty of time oversees in other countries. A lot of people in this country have no idea at all how good we have it here in America compared to a lot of other countries.
