today i had a very close call and has screwed me up for most of the day.as most of you know my home has been under alot of work since last year and I'm all through finally.today they were putting on two new exterior doors and it began to rain very hard so the quit for the day with only getting one on.i was watching my 1 1/2 year old son ,who was watching a video and i just finished on the phone with a client .out of the corner of my eye i notice one of the framed doors and a bunch of boards(about 150 lbs) falling toward my son.this all happened in a split second.i ran about 60 feet and dove and with one arm caught the door and blocked all the wood from hitting my son.the door still hit him but not hurting him .I'm very lucky my son wasn't killed today or seriously hurt.i honestly feel my reflex's from gaming could have been what saved him as i saw a bit of movement and quickly reacted with out hesitating only because i knew my son was in the area of the door.it does show that you could turn your head for one second and something bad could happen.

i reamed the workers a new ass today too! cussing.gif ,they know better than to leave a heavy door like that upright with a child in the house.he only lightly touched it and it fell.

Not doubting the gaming, but did you feel a "burning" sensation as you became aware and moved to save your son? Like I said, I'm not doubting you, but I will say that I have been in similiar situations (roughly speaking) and I'd bet what really happened is that your senses had your body respond before your mind. This has happened to me a couple of times, and all I can really remember from either is a "burning" sensation along my spine. I believe it's the "sixth" sense. I think it's instinct working.

By the way, I'm am so glad to hear that your child is safe!
