NHSchnider - I thought that when similar things happen to me it's just the "here after" problem that came to me about 23 years ago whn I was 60.

I have lived until my 70's - it is a miracle that I have never been run over, lost at sea, been in prison or gone bust or (crossed fingers) been seriously ill. We all have an angel looking after us, don't push their patience.

Re: A tiny miracle- no, really! a miracle!

well electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom randomly disappear into nothingness and then re-appear from this nothingness and scientists have no idea where they go, its as if they cease to exist in between orbit jumps.

maybe every once in a while men make some things like 19" socket wrenches and wire terminals that have a rare instance when more than 50% of the electrons in the atoms making up the solid matter object jump orbit at the same time into this nothingness causing the object dissapears from existence until the wrench or wire terminals (wherever they ended up) have another rare, reverse instance and the object suddenly re-appears.

or maybe they just fell out of the box...
