Yesterday morning as I was kissing my sleeping children goodbye for the commute into work I had a premonition that I would not see them again. But I did and I feel fine. See, I told you premonitions were bull shit. 
(But now I'm wondering if I've jinxed myself by speaking about it. Has my prideful insolence angered the Fates, invited Satan into my home, insulted God with one too many sins, drained my last remaining good luck, tempted murphy from can to will? You'll know by my absence I guess....)

I'll take this opportunity to bit you a fond farewell, 'cause you are so gonna get it!
Thou hast mocked Murphy, and The Murph will not be mocked. Yea verely, thou shalt suffer plagues of flat tires and watermellons shall fall from the heavens as does the spring rains. Repent at once, O ye blasphmer! Repent lest thy steak is served cold and thy new brand of whiskey is as of drainage water upon thy tongue, and all of thy change falls through a hole in thy pocket!

I'm glad you're okay, chaloobi! I don't ignore such premonitions myself, as I think they may sometimes be messages from our wise unconscious. And I've had experiences where, at least twice, they seem to have actually saved my life. Of course as a skeptic, I realize I have no proof that any premonition is in any way actually valid. Just three days ago, I got this feeling that I was going to have something really bad happen on a trip to town on my electric scooter. But I had a doctor's appointment, and overcame the dread, while riding even more carefully than usual. Nothing came of it that day, except a pleasant ride.
But yesterday, on another trip to town, the premonition was fulfilled by disaster! When I got home, I found my reading glasses in their case had apparently been bumped out of the little holding pocket on my bike.
Now I only have my prescription shades. My temptation of course is to see a confirmation of my premonition.

#1. I repent.
#2. I feel that to take premonitions seriously, as vague and doomy as mine was, is irrational and barbaric.
#3. But they feel real enough to creep you out.
#4. I've had some success with premonitions in my past, but I can't repeat the story lest the innocent be harmed. |

The great thing about premonitions like that is, immortality notwithstanding, you're bound to be right sooner or later. ;p Unfortunately, the odds are you won't be able to bask in the confirmation your prescience after the fact.
Hang on...I'm getting a message from the other side... I'm getting... a vowel. Do you know anyone with a vowel in their name who's recently passed to the other side?
