What will be your last thoughts?

Anesthesia: I blink my eyes and nothing has happened during the time I was out. I swear I had my eyes closed for one second. What turns off in our brains during anesthesia?

Michael Jackson died because his doctor used an anesthetic to put him to sleep. I agree about it being a nice sleep, when you wake up.

Exactly , you've just described my regular night's sleep...many nights nightmare filled, wake up heart beating out of my chest.... sweats... terrible... other nights might not be nightmares but very dream filled.. very odd dreams as well..make no sense.. .. and the worst is, I don't wake up refreshed I wake up exhausted.. ..I wish I knew what the cause is... have you any idea what causes yours ?,

My X husband said he never dreamt.. that he knew of.. as far as he was concerned every night he shut his eyes and the next thing he knew it was 5am an the alarm was going off and he always woke refreshed ... I can't tell how I envied him... the only difference between him and me was that he always drank alcohol before bed...

Overactive imagination, I guess.

No worries. I found this passage in the lesser known "Epistle according to Gouda": ...... "and now these three remain: faith, hope, and love .... but the greatest of these is a well-aged Gouda".
It was in the Revised, Revised, Standard Version. It was easy to miss.

Good point. I checked with AI and the good news is that @Sunkist can safely eat all the beans she likes :)

Based on the principles of physics and atmospheric science, a "fart" (an expulsion of gas) by an angel would not cause turbulence for an airplane.

Here is why:
  • Turbulence Mechanism: Turbulence is caused by significant changes in air currents, such as wind shear, atmospheric pressure changes, or air rushing over mountain ranges. It requires massive, rapid shifts in air density or direction to disrupt the airflow over an airplane's wings.
  • Scale and Force: While an individual flatulence event releases gas, the volume, velocity, and pressure are minuscule compared to the immense, high-speed, and dense air masses moving around a 500 mph jet.
  • Energy Comparison: The energy released by an angel's fart would be completely absorbed and dissipated by the surrounding atmosphere long before it could affect the lift of an aircraft.
Even in a highly hypothetical scenario—such as a "lifetime worth of farts" compressed into one—the resulting force would still be negligible in terms of causing aircraft-level turbulence.
 
It will be morbid as Hell. Like something out of a Russian novel. I'll probably play the "what if" game. Thinking about the opportunities that presented themselves to me that I failed to recognize and act upon. A real suckaroo.

"In Leo Tolstoys The Death of Ivan Illyich, the main character Ivan, from his deathbed, looks up at his wife and says, “What if my whole life has been wrong?”
“It occurred to him that what had appeared perfectly impossible before, namely that he had not spent his life as he should have done, might after all be true. It occurred to him that his scarcely perceptible attempts to struggle against what was considered good by the most highly placed people, those scarcely noticeable impulses which he had immediately suppressed, might have been the real thing, and all the rest false. And his professional duties and the whole arrangement of his life and of his family, and all his social and official interests, might all have been false. He tried to defend all those things to himself and suddenly felt the weakness of what he was defending. There was nothing to defend.”"

Then I'll recall the last words of Doc Holliday. "This is funny" And I'll go out laughing in a final display of gallows humor.
