With my now Partner. I almost scrolled past them online. And almost didnt massage them.

Now i saved them from homelessness and starvation. After i took tjem in and for the first time in their life got good nutritional food, they got into puberty and growthspurt at age 19 and 20.

6 years ago, I had a hard time sleeping and felt “weird”, so I thought my blood sugar was low. I picked up my glucometer and on the way to the living room, I dropped it 3 or 4 times. I’m fairly clumsy and I was tired, so I didn’t think much of it.

When I got to the living room and tested, my sugar was normal and I said “Well, it’s not low blood sugar” out loud to myself and heard the awful slurring. I knew it was a stroke. In the 2 minutes it took me to stumble out of the bedroom, I had progressed to having to hold myself up as I went back to the bedroom to have my wife call 911. Before the paramedics got there, I was almost completely paralyzed on my right side. In the ambulance, I was paralyzed on that side.

Luckily, the hospital nearest me is known for its great stroke response and had a portable CT scanner so they could rule out a hemorrhagic stroke, which meant they could give me the clot-buster drug, TPA. I walked out of the hospital 2 1/2 days later at about 95% of where I was before the stroke. My deficits are very minor and if you didn’t know, you’d never think I was a stroke survivor.

It’s a daily occurrence to me at this point because I’m still alive

I’m lucky all the time. Praise Tymora!

In 2017 my mom and I took a week long trip to Iceland. It was amazing, 10/10, will go again.

However, we went on this hike up into the mountains to find this hot spring river. About halfway there I see this outcropping from the trail that overlooks the gully below. I hand my mom my phone and tell her I’m going to walk out there and to snap a picture of me. So I head out there and its cool. Not narrow or seemingly dangerous in anyway.

As I’m standing out there, a wind kicks up out of nowhere. Picks me up off the trail, feet and all. Like, I was literally weightless. It was just for a few seconds, only a few cm off the ground, but I knew it would carry me over the edge and into the gully below, and I couldn’t do anything.

Instead, it set me back on my feet and was gone as soon as it came. I walked back to my mom and thanked her and said nothing about what just happened, I didn’t want to scare her. But I stuck to the main trail after that.

I can’t really explain how unnerving it is to be weightless like that on earth, where gravity is king. I became immediately helpless. If that wind had lasted longer, I could have easily been flung over the edge without being able to do anything about it.

When I was 17 I was driving my mom’s car. Suddenly the neighborhood seemed very dark so I stopped. I was sitting on a boat ramp into the Gulf of Mexico.

One night in college I was driving down a street that runs parallel to railroad tracks and then jogs to cross them. As I crossed I glanced over to see a train right outside my passenger door.

I don’t know how I got lucky enough to find my husband.

Reno: I put a dollar into a penny slot, pressed two buttons, won $1700, and immediately cashed out.

When I was a baby I started choking while inside a shop. we were on holiday abroad and it was sheer luck that a doctor was in the shop and he saved my life

Growing up, my mother was a opioid/heroin addict. My dad had divorced her, but she had joint custody and my brother and I would go visit on the weekend. There was one night where she was going to drive us to get fast food. I was 8 years old at the time. She had taken pills right before the drive and nodded off on a busy, fast moving main road. We crossed over the yellow lines and I unbuckled my seatbelt to try to get her to wake up as a tractor trailer was coming at us. We veered off the road and hit a telephone pole, missing that truck by like two seconds

The last time I was out of weed and wasn’t gonna have money to get more for at least a week, I found an unopened disposable THC vape in the bushes where I usually smoke cigarettes near my car in the parking lot of my apartment building. It wasn’t something I lost because I don’t get disposables, but it was perfect lucky timing.

Exploring a city drain, and I leapt over a puddle, and mid-air I kinda saw something and ducked my head sideways. Turned out I’d leapt directly into a 30cm piece of sharp, rusty reinforcing rod that was hanging out of the ceiling and bent directly toward my eyes. I don’t really know how I avoided it, but if I hadn’t, it may well have been an instant involuntary lobotomy…

I feel like I just have an “everything will work out” general luck, but I’ve definitely lost more games of chance than I’ve won.

I was hired by someone, but when I showed up for my “first day”, they denied ever offering me the position. Of course, I was pissed, but I consider this “luck” because I’m sure that working for someone who pulls shit like that would have been awful.

There was a bet contest in my company which I was pushed to participate in.

I didn’t want to research every soccer team involved (I don’t know anything about soccer), so I just took the percentages of which team would win according to participants (ex : 38% for team A winning, 14% for a draw and 48% for team B winning) and shove them in a Python script that would generate plausible results (ex: 2-1 for Team B).

I put the generated scores in the betting website.

I won.

I won some Tupperware at bingo in the church basement when I was nine years old.
