Anyone else here believe in intuition bordering on precognizance? sometimes I get ideas to do or research something without knowing why. Then in the upcoming days I end up needing that skill/research. Any other "mental freaks" like me? LOL

 

To me that is just my prepper mindset just working overtime and being aware of my surroundings and what is going on. I am always having thoughts about "what if?" The follow up thought of course, is, "what do I really know about that, and I better get some info or experience about that!"
.
Esp or precognition? I think not, but who really knows?

 

H2o for life!

 

I have spent 21 years working as a bouncer (about 13-14 actual years total, if you count a couple eras in my life where two or three real jobs took all my time and bouncing wasn't needed to make ends meet). At first i was in reaction mode. See the problem then react. The problem with that is that violence or physicality has already taken place. After a while I got to the point I could see the physicality coming and would intercept, instead of "clean up". That was my best skill. I could see "trouble brewing" and (to quote the great Barney Fife) "nip it in the bud". I think it is just that my eyes are open to warning signs I have seen over and over. The prepper mindset. See it coming and prepare or avert.

One of my now-retired Supervisors used to call me "Radar", after the MASH character. Often, she'd ask me to research some aspect of our IT or to create some documentation for one of our computer applications - too often, I already had seen the need and could hand it to her. Freaked her out a couple times. Many times, some document I created just for my own use ended up becoming part of our 'official' docs. It seemed to fill a need, and most others just never liked doing that kind of grunt work.
I always seem to be good at finding some odd little 'niche' here at work that nobody else wants or even sees - in a time of layoffs, I make sure I am a very handy guy to keep around!!

 

Ouch!

 

bugs suck, I mean some bugs suck and some just sting, some are ugly and some are cool

 

For an olde phart you have forgotten a few basic truths ...... haven't you? .... Welcome to the club.

 

Our local public range (out in the National Forest) utterly forbids the use of shotguns.

But once a month they host the Hunter Safety Course - which uses the 12 gauge shotgun to demonstrate safe handling and shooting. The ground is always littered with 12 ga. hulls.........

 

I have nothing useful to add to this thread.
