Other - Social Science - November 2007

I'm asking because my grandma (who was very old and bedbound) told my mom just before going to sleep for the last time that she had to get up, she had an appointment at the mortuary and she couldn't be late. Her death came on pretty suddenly - I mean, she was 95, but the nurses told us we'd have about two weeks' warning, and she'd go through recognizable steps.

She'd talked a lot about death in the last few months - her husband's, old neighbors, stuff like that, but never her own.
Anybody else have any experiences like this? What do you think - can people sense the day as they die?

Thanks; I appreciate any input!

I was wondering if you farted in a jar and then put the lid on how long would the smell stay in the jar.

I have gone to the Marfa lights festival before..and it just kills me to wonder what the hell is causing those lights..and nobody seems to know people from all over have gone to investigate it, and seem to have no answers...if I could ask God questions that would be one of the first ones!!

Has anything happened to you or anyone you know (and trust enough to believe!) that you simply can't explain? I don't mean just hearing a bump in the night, I mean something pretty grand - it doesn't have to be supernatural.

Examples: someone you know vanishing off the face of the earth without a trace, a supernatural encounter, something that defies the laws of science, time, space, etc. Anything at all that fits the question.

we should spend many of our times in filtering incorrect or not intersting information from correct information ..
Do you think we should delete bad information?

I mean, I am the only lefty in my family (even my extended family) and I am the only one that is original and/or artistic in any way...
Are there any scientific studies or anything that show lefties as being more creative?

And I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm just curious as to see if this is just a coincidence...

This is a quote from Mao Tse-tung (new transliteration is Ze-dong), the father of the Chinese revolution. It is the usual cynical stuff that "proceeds" (or is excreted) from Marxism. Birds of a feather stick together. Weak people always yearn for power. But there's always somebody MORE powerful, isnt it obvious? And he's gonna do the damage, dont you see? That's why Jesus said, Those who live by the sword, DIE by the sword. "Come unto me, all you who suffer and yearn in silence. I will give you peace."

Now adimittedly there are only a very very rare few who are at the very extremes of the spectrum, most of us are somewhat balanced between the two with slight leanings towards the other.

Which appeals to your nature, someone who feels more compfortable in bustling, active and loud environments, or someone quieter and more reserved?

Don't just use these descriptions, you can rpovide your own example as to why you like one over the other.
