Man, that is a lot of pain and stress, between the nightmares AND the migraines. These things don't happen very often to me, maybe once a year, and I don't think I could well tolerate it much more. For me, that kind of stress is cumulative. More slowly, so is pain. Has to be dissolved or counteracted, or spaced out in term, or I just about go under. No shit. I think that would make me meaner than I am.

I got a super well grounded 110 shock once? It almost killed me? (I had studied what levels of shock are what.) And I'll tell ya, that sensation is like you're gonna die. I got right to this edge where I was in muscle fib but my brain was still working. And it was up there going, "Gee. This is alarming. If we don't stop this real fast, besides squeezing your teeth to powder, you're gonna die." Just like cartoons of a little guy at a control panel. It realized neither hand was going to let go. And it had to do something else. Pronto. The pain was incredible. It's pretty much exactly LIKE electrocution, which is amazing, you know, because most stuff is never like what you expect. There was a couple tons of cold weight trying to break my neck by compression. I am amazed they let electricity in the house with humans at all. Really. Not more than a month afterward a guy died doing something similar in town, and it really bugged me. (Darwin, we're thinking?) (Bzzt.) They should, as part of some real elementary-school type universal technicalized-world up-bringing, find ways to teach people high-volume consciousness of electricity and fire. And maybe car crashing. A young "stud" hotting his new truck almost creamed MJ and me last night, and I thought, "I don't want to die for you, you little shithead. Just so you can discover you are out of control. Get a life."
