Been a good thread we need to air out our differences in politics.
Nothing wrong about them, those views but a rest is often called for.
Fishers ghost.
How do we avoid the story as it came to us?
Two convicted of murder and the victim showing the place his body would be found.
Sorry suseonline did not reply to my question.
But Nurse after Nurse told me of waiting for the last good by deaths.
And too of the strange things on the midnight shifts.

Dear o sung wu,

I remember reading an article some time back about
a cat who lived in an aged care facility (or was it
a hospital?). Who always knew when one of the elderly
patients was about to die. The cat would go into that
person's room and stay with them until they passed.

I'll try to Google that article for you and get back to you.
It makes for interesting reading.

Dear o sung wu,

Here's the link that I promised you earlier
about Oscar the Cat:

It's an interesting article.

Hello there BELLY Ol' Mate...

Yes indeed, politics can unquestionably create some divergence of views and opinions and therefore quickly divide people and their respective causes ? And as you say, we sometimes need to 'step back' a piece, take a big breathe, before launching ourselves back into the melee, once more !

The extraordinary sights, and sounds, not to mention the profound sadnesses, our nurse's often need to face, takes an astonishing amount of personal 'steel'. Moreover, to confront and manage a critical situation with a dying patient with a degree of dignity and solemnity. And all the while ensure they can maintain their own level of proficiency and propriety, often in the presence of distraught strangers.

It's little wonder BELLY, they may at night, alone in a quiet ward, hear and see things that are well beyond a normal explantaion ?

Good afternoon to you LEXI...

You're a real gem ! Thank you so much for your link about 'Oscar' the Cat, who continues to weave his mystery in the presence of dying patients. What an absolutely extraordinary little fella !

Call me dumb, stupid, anything you care to say. I really believe that animals possess a far greater insight into phenomenon, beyond anything we (Humans) can possible understand ? Their senses are so well attuned to 'things' we cannot possibly conceive. Proof of which, is their uncanny ability to forcast particular weather events etc., in fact we humans aren't all that good when you think about it really ?

Again, my profound thanks, go to you and BELLY, I really appreciate your efforts.

Dear o sung wu,

You're right about animals.

Perhaps, in the case of Oscar - he could smell
some sort of chemical that the dyhing give off
before they pass.

Anyway, I'm certain that animals have senses that
we humans don't possess. As in the case of knowing
when there's danger coming (earthquakes, fires, et
cetera).
