What's Happening???

What does that mean?
I haven't come across this piece of folklore...

 

Mel, why are you afraid of the next flu pandemic?

I mean, it doesn't sound pleasant, but I also don't really think about it.

I do remember swine flu though, I was in college and everyone was freaking out. This one dumb girl with a fake orange tan got it. She looked really sick. And she was like "oh my god, i have swine flu!!!" WHY ARE YOU IN CLASS THEN?!

 

Interesting. And sort of brutal. The gun shot is, at any rate. Exposure to cold on a mountain really wouldnt be a bad way to go though

 

Well, I have a lot of stupid anxiety concerning death anyways. So a lot of it is my own neurosis.

But realistically, it probably will be the flu that takes a big chunk of humanity out (sorrry, I couldnt think of a more pleasant way to say it) Like someone mentioned above, 80,000 people died from it in the US last year alone. The flu is no joke.
We're likely due for another pandemic like the one in 1918.

 

Everyone has their star. And you look at the sky and if you guess correctly which is yours, you are going to die.
I was told that as a kid.
I often try to guess. I still haven't, but I think I missed it by a star or two a couple of times.

Fuck the flu, it's the stars.

 

You look at the starry sky at night, and can't resist trying to guess.

 

Wow, 80,000 does seem like a lot of people. I hear you about the death neurosis though. I do go through phases of death-anxiety about random ailments. Mine usually revolves around blood clots though.

 

Relatable. Those damn blood clots

 

Yeah---DVT is scary af.

 

Fire and electricity.
I don't want to die like that.

 

Fire is a big one for me, thats why I have my nightly stove checking ritual

And car accidents.

Be sure to always wear your seatbelt, yall

 

I saw some video of a Chinese women falling into an escalator and getting ground up in there. That would be a horrible way to go, too. She was carrying her baby with her, so she threw the baby to her husband just in time for him to catch it as she got sucked into the escalator.

Chinese mother killed riding escalator - CNN

If you wanna be traumatized.

 

Jesus

Poor woman.
No way am I watching that, I dont need to add elevators to my list of fears

 

No thanks.
I'm gonna go with the star thing.
It's kind of comforting

Either stars or genocide/ethnic cleansing.

 

Love that story dont know why I never heard it before ?

 

Exposure to the cold is supposed to be the easiest way to die you just go to sleep

 

I think it could be a local thing.
But please....by all means, spread the word!

 

somebody sent me one of those dodgy phone videos ! I dont want to die gruesome with cunts standing round laughing and my body desecrated

 

hope the bitch loves the apartment. In washing my hands of this relationship.. to wasteful, to much drama. When her dad had open heart, she caused drama. So if she does this shit around people in bad health without even a conscious thought of doing it.. Just making my health condition worse.

 

Sounds like its for the best, it does seem like she brings a lot of extra stress to your life

 

The mountain exposure was my first thought. I meant it to be what I would do if I found I was terminally ill or old enough to still do it, but also content not to keep living until I couldn't do it. The gun shot thing got in my head after I last watched American Beauty.. and it just looked... refreshing. Clean. Release. Relief. Haha.

Do you guess.. as a thought? Say out loud?
Is the guess addressed to anyone?

Yep, exactly. And I don't mind the cold, really. So I think I could deal with that bit.. then you get all warm and sleep and die. AND it takes out all the funeral costs. Hopefully creatures will eat me : )

 

Pretty much, yea. Don’t like having to be somewhere if it’s raining hard but staying inside, watching and hearing it fall is nice.

 

Time for espresso mmm

 

You can stand under my umbrella ella ella.

 

I've only heard/read starry two times. One from Piaf and a quote from the movie The Davinci Code.

I dont know much about religion, but I really appreciated the Davinci code as it pulled me in, intrigued me and still kept me focused even with the notion that I don't understand the back story of religion with all the scriptures and interpretations.

Tom Hanks does a good job acting in those kinda rolls.
