This text compiles several anecdotes about narrowly avoiding disasters and experiencing fortunate events.
I bought the optional flood cover on our investment property, for just $30. I almost didn’t, as it was only $30. It flooded two months later, and the repair bill was $380k. \A $100 bill I keep inside my hat saved me from being stranded far from home. I was ditched by some 'friends' after a house party because they didn't feel like giving me a ride home after they told me they would prior.
\In my late 20s, I had a cold for a little over a week, and when most symptoms subsided, I still had a sore throat. My husband said I should see a doctor, and normally, I wouldn’t have just for a cold, but he kept bugging me, so I went in. When the doctor examined me, she felt some lumps in my neck. Turns out it was thyroid cancer. It was caught very early just because my husband told me to get my sore throat checked out (which actually was from the cold and had nothing to do with the cancer). I’ve been cancer-free for ten years now! \A tropical storm blew through my city a few months ago, and we were projected to get wind gusts and significant rain. Because our parking lot isn't large enough for all staff and our clients, many of us have to park on the street lined with large, old trees. As I rolled up on the morning we were due to get the storm, I parked in my usual spot down the block. Before I shut the car off, though, I noticed that this spot was directly across the street from one of the largest trees on the block... \Thinking, 'you know what, just to be safe...' I put the car in reverse and backed up about ten feet, safely out of the direct line of fire from any trees. In the middle of that afternoon, amid the howling wind and driving rain, we heard a huge 'THUD' down the street. Went to investigate, and that same tree I'd been parked across the street from fell across the road and missed my car by about eight fee
