Haha, maybe the cats called you that too, just not when you were around to hear. :)

I think they did.

When I was growing up, we predominately had dogs but since growing up, I've come to "read" cat's body language - I can even see their facial expressions. Cats are fascinating animals - and very loving. People don't know that. A lot of people hate cats but if you get to know a cat and earn his/her trust and love, you'll have a true friend for life. Boo is such good company. We play lots of games together - and he "gets" it. He knows it's a game. Sometimes h'll initiate the game.

Funny. I can read animals better than I can read people. I wonder why that is?

I have 'the most' wonderfully seasoned Griswold skillet - nothing sticks to it!

Human's are often dishonest. Animals don't lie.

I finally made that doctors appointment...they actually had openings for this Monday, which is odd since all of my other specialists take weeks to get in to see. The sooner the better, because I seem to be having allergic reactions to everything I eat/drink. Blech!

Can you take antihistamines?

By the way, I need to get the home doctor out tonight to make a visit.

I've had a migraine on and off since Sunday.

I might get him to put some antiseptic on my ankle wound while he's here. I don't have any.

I should get a medical kit together considering how accident prone I am.

I'm watching YouTube videos of people's accounts of their near death experiences. What they experience after they died.

All accounts seem to be different. How man after life ways are there? Which one/s are right.

Surely, there is only one common way we all go! And yet, they all experience different things. This suggests to me that it's not the reality - that it's something their body/mind conjures up in that state. That's my hypothesis. I've read and watched countless near death experiences and it's different for everyone. Which one is right?

I don't think they're lying. I think we all experience different things because our experience is not a real external 'one for all' based experience. Rather, it comes down to the individuals brain, chemicals racing around the brain and body and personal life experiences that shape what our brains 'think' about in the moment.

Like I said, I'm cooking chicken Kievs and I just burned my hand in the oven. LOL - Not serious but I'm sure I'll end up with another massive blister!

That is so cool! one of my smaller special interest is near death experiences, I would be happy to watch any videos that you find interesting if you choose to share them. I almost died one time from a drug overdose and unfortunately I did not experience a near death experience; I wish I did however that was not the goal of the overdose. The only think I remember is the exact moment I thought I died. I was unconscious and I woke up vomiting and than loss consciousness again before my head even hit the hospital bed I was lying on. I thought I died cause everything went black so quickly and instead of going in a dreamy state like I normally do when I am asleep, I just remember nothingness. It was scary but I woke up three days later and I had no idea how much time had elapsed.

Yeah I take them daily, plus Benadryl when it's a bad really reaction, but it's getting worse. Hopefully this guy will know what he's doing and an effective treatment plan will be established.

You have a doctor that makes house calls? Is that typical in Aus?
Yes, definitely get a med kit together for the future. Sepsis kills, and it can sneak up without warning. I've known people who didn't even have a fever and they were lucky to be alive afterwards.

Although I believe they're (not intentionally) fanciful, I did read a very interesting account of someone who OD'd and told (yet another) different account of what happened to them. It was quite interesting - but I had taken a lot of Robitussin DX cough syrup just before watching it.

I'll compile a set of YouTube links for you to watch but bare in mind, I don't think it's the reality. I think it's purely a manifestation of the person's last abilities to think just before they go beyond the point of no return.

Thanks and I'll bear that in mind, I am Christian so I do find myself projecting my beliefs on near death experiences but I'll try to approach them with an open mind. I keep a look out for your links.

I didn't know about the service until just recently. My boss put me on to the home visit doctor and it's bulk billed - covered by Medicare - it's free.

I should get checked out because it happened in my outside toilet. I took the knife with me (just in case of big spiders :) ), rammed it into a wooden post up on the wall and as I was sitting there, the bastard decided to drop off the wall and stab me. I'm lucky it didn't go right through my foot.

Considering where it happened though, I should get checked out but my body does seem to have a huge capacity for fending off germs/ infections. I guess I've got a really healthy immune system. Always have.
