    I recently read that 65% or so of people who've had an NDE report nothing. The lights go out and come back on after being revived. I do think some people have odd experiences when the brain is being deprived of oxygen. For example, there was a guy who was bleeding out who "felt a presence". That type of thing happens during sleep paralysis. I think a lot of the "I saw Jesus" type stories are done for money or attention.

    yeah it's actually a bit annoying how many people have come to me and asked me about what I "saw" and crap and when I say nothing, they refer to some book they read where someone describes heaven in detail and use that as proof that I'm just wrong. Yeah... no, it's a money grab, and I know it because I wrote a manuscript about my experience. Had a big time literary agent too. Someone who had represented multiple writers who's books appeared on Oprah's book club thingy. The manuscript was good enough that there were several publishing houses interested. On the condition that I make it "more religious" or "take a religious" angle. That was a non-starter for me, because I'm not gonna make shit up that didn't happen. Since my contract with the agent where she would only get paid if I signed a deal, I dug my feet in, never did the money grab religious shit, and eventually let the contract run out and didn't renew.

    I've never been deprived of oxygen (insert sex joke) so I cannot speak to that personally, but the lady I did chest compressions on and revived was without oxygen for an extended period. When she came to, it was really fucking weird and was clear she was experiencing something other than the reality in front of her. I later learned that people can/do sometimes become violent when they come to because they're just so out of it. So none of what you said would surprise me.

    A good friend of mine died of a heart attack several years ago and was revived. He said that he was feeling a little off, but certainly not like he was about to die. He took a drink of water and sat down- and his vision shrunk to a dot from the periphery in, then winked out. He does not remember experiencing anything until he regained consciousness in the hallway of the hospital. He opened his eyes and saw ceiling tiles going by, and had no idea where he was or what had happened. No light, no heaven, just nothing.

    I’m in Montreal on a business trip. The hotel room is too hot to sleep in, so I figured out how to bypass the security on the windows to open them to let the -12 temps in.

    Went out for dinner.

    Alarms went off. Temp in room got down to 4deg C, front desk was pissed, had to call maintenance to come in and close windows.

    “Sorry, not sorry”

    Room is now around 9deg. Awesome sleeping temp!

    We’ll see how long I can play this game before I get kicked out.

    So I wake up this morning and go, "Hey dad, there's a dead raccoon out back."

    "Oh yeah, I shot him last night. Just try to avoid him."

    Right in front of the St Asisi statue, too.

    What in the FUCK

    I am trying to wrap my head what happened here, and to my limited knowledge these people seemed to have put cluster munitions into a weather balloon and stood directly under it. I think.

    I need to know what happened here.

    50 degrees. He wants it to be 50 degrees. And he let it get down to 40. Because he's fucking insane apparently.

    My mother loves a cold bedroom - so much so, that she regularly leaves the windows open overnight in the New England winters. She'd sleep under half a dozen blankets with all of the windows wide open, and wake up with a skim of ice in the toilet. She froze the pipes several times - fortunately didn't burst anything.

    I've tried to convince her that she could get rid of most of her blankets and just crack the windows but apparently it doesn't have the same effect for her.

    Just realized I posted in the wrong thread. No ragrets... I was drunk. The last drink I remember was served in a conch shell with fire, and was meant for 4 people. It was tasty.

    I saw it while in the airport and thought no. I won't move it. You are living the spirit of the WDT.

    Freak on with your freak self.

    PSA, it is proven that sleeping in a cold or cool room is better for you.

    I run a fan year round, for the temp, air movement and white noise.

    He might be your daddy. That's between you and him. I don't judge.

    Well... I judge a little. But I don't say anything.
