Acrophobic? Scared of heights?

6. Is there at least a fence around that thing?
Not that that makes it much better.

8. OMG. So do I! All the fricking time.
I also have dreams where I am backing up my car and the brakes won't work.

Very odd.

9. Never had that one
I am able to wake myself up. Go to the bathroom. Go back to sleep and pick up on another part of the dream. I swear.

My wife marvels at my ability to go to sleep. No matter the situation-I trained myself on it when I was in the Army......hey was that a Queeen of hearts card?

10. I do that, too.
I have a lot of dreams where I'm driving a car and the breaks fail, or the stearing wheel stops working.

11. NO there isn't that's what freaks me out about that tennis court.
I have horrible acrophobia.. I've been known to find elevators to avoid stairs that I can see through or esclators. I've seen lots of pics online of scary places, but that tennis court is THE WORST!

12. Those pictures make my butt twitch (not in a good way). I hope they
don't allow dogs up there with the tennis balls.
:scared:

4. Nope, definitely not me!! I am NOT afraid of heights....
For my 40th bd last year, I did a tandem skydive from 18,000 feet. 90 seconds of freefall, at 120 mph. Waaaahoooooo!!!

Talk about a RUSH and a very cool way to welcome in my 40's!


Hey, it's not for everyone, but thank goodness for differences, eh?


...makes the world go 'round....

:hi:
