Road incident for me

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (52665) • Philippines 27 Sep 22

Last night I crossed the street after I ordered some barbeque. I did not see that bike coming, I was inches from getting hit by that motorbike. What's annoying is that guy isn't even wearing an helmet. Must be a karma for me as...

That was a terrifying few minutes

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 19 Jan 20

There is a TL;DR at the bottom. I watched as two of my friends got into their car, both of them offering a short and excited wave as they started the car and ventured onward. A few moments later, two joggers came to flank...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44560) • United States 3 Jan 19

Our cat Gracie is living on borrowed time. Ever since that car crashed into our garage early Christmas morning, Gracie's been a little nervous, understandably. The car went right over where Gracie steps out of her little place in...

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (52665) • Philippines 26 Oct 17

My last post including me taking Prince to the vet. I had to leave him because they were going to have to shave him bald to address the issue of the scabs on his body. On the way home the car was still vibrating. When I drove to...

If I hadn't Screamed, I'd Be Probably Dead Right Now

NailTech @NailTech (6874) • United States 19 May 12

Seriously, I was almost in a near wreck this afternoon. We were on a simple neighborhood street (I wasn't driving) where the driver in out car was just looking to the left and moving the car, not noticing the white car barrelling...

Morgana's Close Call...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 23 Jan 11

One of the gifts that I got for our cat Morgana for Christmas was a little nylon collar. It looked similar to the one in the photo but it was green. We put it on her and made sure that it was plenty loose enough. Loose enough for...

Stray animals should be killed, really!

chemist2writer @joyadalia (1408) • Philippines 11 Sep 08

As I was on my way to work this morning, I got a really close call with an almost-too-often-happening-in-the-Philippines-road-accident involving a stray dog. It was some minutes before 6AM (my work starts are...

This poor seagull had a close call when he was on the scrounge for the sealions tea! This had to be one of the highlights for me of the trip to the zoo. I patiently waited for 45 minutes to get a good position at their feeding...

Yesterday was a good day for me accompanying my mom with her visits to farms and companies. It was a hot day considering it was summer here. I didnt mind the heat as I got to be in the heat when I was driving a motor. Lunch was...

What was your closest brush with death?

filmbuff @filmbuff (2909) • United States 18 Mar 08

Living is a dangerous business. I can't count how many times I've been inches from death door; there were times I could taste the musty breath of the grim reaper yet some how miracles survived (mostly) unscathed. Here is story...

Close Calls

dizzykitty @dizzykitty (65) • United States 11 Feb 08

So I'm sure everybody has had that experience... you know your driving down the road and right infront of you something happens and somehow you manage not to be involved. Well I live in NW Washington and the last couple of weeks...
