Intuition

I was listening to the radio on the way into work this morning, and there was a very interesting disscussion about intuition - if you listen to yours, and has it ever saved your life, or someone else's life, got you out of a jam, anything significant??

One woman called in, and said her and her husband go to Boston every year for some sort of show, and a few years back they went as they usually did (her husband worked for the airlines and they could fly back free on standby), and they were scheduled to fly back on a Tuesday (I think she said), but something "inside" told her to to leave the day before, Monday. She finally convinced her husband to leave a day early, and they did, and got back fine. The next day, her husband called her from work, woke her out of bed, and told her to turn on the TV. She did, and soon realized to her horror that the plane she and her husband were to have been on that day was the one that flew into the Twin Towers on 9/11. My God, could you imagine? That would freak me out like nothing else. I still tear up every time I even think of 9/11....

Another woman called and said she was on an out of the way, hilly type road, with her infant daughter in the car, and came up on a young girl that had hit a dog in the road and was stopped. This woman stopped to see if the girl was ok, but quickly left, having a terrible feeling that she needed to get out of there right away. She did (the girl was fine), and shortly after, after getting home, heard about a drunk driver that had come barrelling up that road, and hit two cars, one was a car that had stopped in the road to help that same girl she had stopped for, and the other was the girl herself, and all of the people who were hit died at the scene.

Has anything ever happened to you, where you had an intuition or "bad feeling" about something, that ended up helping you or even saving your life? Do you listen to your intuition?
