Blackout


no im not referring to me blacking out when I have strong B.M.s (true story)

Im talking about the blackout in Miami... 800,000 people without power in dade county? what is up with that. all due to a safety measure. Sh!t davis besse was labeled the worst reactor in the U.S. because of its safety problems and we still operated it for years... How can they just shut it down at a moments notice, that just boggles my mind. They shouldve gave a few days preparation, to see if they could maybe evacuate people or draw power from nearby power sources. just shutting a reactor down like that couldve caused a mass blackout like what happened 3 years ago... not say 800,000 isnt massive enough.

p.s. I had the worst cramps on record 2 years ago at work. It just hit me out of no where, and within seconds I must of blacked out, I woke up curled in a ball fetal position. I jumped up, and assumed I smoked my head on the conveyour, a co-worker just got done paging on the p.a. system "We need a first responder to the K-mod, F-level" I was still blurry and starry eyed, and dizzy and nauseated, and I shook with bad tremors for prolly n hour. the hospital told me I went hypotensive due to a vagal nerve ending being hit hard during a B.M. <-----lol No joke... its happened to me several times since, without the blacking out though.

That is really just the most awesome story I've ever heard in all my life. Thanks for sharing.

thanks..... just for the record, I didnt %$^@ til I got to the hospital prolly 1-2hours after the incident. I went while waiting for results on my blood sugar or whatever to make sure it wasnt a hyper, or hypoglycemic event of some kind.
