Hard News: Floating the idea, in reply to Che Tibby,
all that sand just washes out into your estuary, then out to sea somewhere.
Are you talking about the Balina Bay experience? The residents imported some fine white sand for their little cove, but when last sighted, it was out in the channel somewhere. All this happened many years ago, when I lived in Wellington. You might be far too young to remember :)

I hope I'll get to meet your lovely old dog.

You are a funny man!
I only hope nobody gets upset at this sort of discussion - like Ben not wanting to think about these things. It's not really worth raising the blood pressure. Just have to keep breathing and enjoy being alive.

Well I have satisfied myself there is no “there” after life.
Can you tell me how you did this? Without having died yourself?

Would your list of feelings include any of these?
No. It's a feeling of being everything, as in enormous, and yet really tiny - as in one-celled. I described it once to a group of people, and one person approached me later and said she had had the same experience.

Arse, I promised myself years ago I wouldn’t think about this any more. Let alone as a threadjack.
Ooh, is it a threadjack? Isn't this the thread that has woven itself in and around Life, the Universe and Everything?

it won’t be me!
Any idea who it would be? It won't be Giovanni Tiso, any more than I was Jacqui Dunn before I was born, and doubt I will after death. Just the body that carried me around.
I have had, in the past, strange - what I can only describe as "big/tiny" physical feelings - which happened when I was just about to fall asleep. If one was going to have remnants of times other than in one's body and consciousness, the state of relaxation might allow those memories.
But all of this is total guesswork, I admit. Intriguing all the same.

Ah, you see - you don't recall.

Hard News: Holiday Open Thread 1: Beach…, in reply to Ngaire BookieMonster,
Chooks are omnivores out in the open - they eat all sorts of things - snails, bugs of varying sorts, and one's lettuces (I always wondered why my lettuces never grew - daily cropping!) If they're unfortunate enough to be raised in a factory farm, they'll eat the bodies of male chicks, kindly mashed up and mixed with other stuff. Whether they would if they had a choice is questionable.
Fish also, eat other fish.
