I'd go skydiving but have never had the least desire to go bungee jumping. The thought of bouncing and swinging makes me ill.

Nope.

No way, no how.

I cannot for the life of me imagine getting any pleasure out of it. Like Wildchild, I could do skydiving ... but this? I just can't see it ever happening.

It's not too bad, there's a few things I need to finish up so I can put things away, like download a few pics so I can give Woody back his camera, file an apron pattern away, etc.

Not that I can recall. The Bataan Death March ... and the years following ... was hell for those who went through it. When I went to Korea, in `53, just over 10 years later, we left Los Angeles by freighter and travelled on the Great Circle route, far north of Hawaii (put a string on a globe) ... for 18 days out of sight of land ... which gives one direct proof of how large the world is. As we approached the Phillipines, a typhoon was building and we went down the west side of Luzon, then turned in to 30-mile long Manila Harbour ... so the first sight of land that I had in the Orient was ... Corregidor, the rocky island fortress at the outer end of the harbour ... where the last surviving U.S. Army people holed up, following the Japanese invasion. It made a major impression on me that, apart from the results of World War II, we could not have been in that part of the world, helping people develop a better life. Had our ship been in those waters, ten years earlier ... we`d have been sunk ... or interned! And much of our work originally, just after the Korean War, was helping people who had left their home areas as refugees, as a result of political divisions and war, with nothing but the clothes on their backs, as they tried to get their lives back in some kind of order ... in an area much of which had been badly battered, fought over 3 or 4 times. Not a pleasant experience. Let us commit ourselves to seeking ways to build bridges of understanding between peoples, rather than warfare. May you have a blessed Easter ... if Easter is important to you. ole joyful

If I was about half the weight I am now, young, and as foolish as I was when I was young, and someone paid me enough, then I would do it!

I would not be able to be paid enough to do that. *Shudder*

NOOOOOOOOO! As I have acrophobia, which makes even driving over some bridges and cliff-top roads problematic, I doubt I'd ever voluntarily relinquish myself to a bunch of latex strands.

However, give me a good roller coaster ride anytime!!!

And as far as sky diving is concerned, according to my truly BFF (who is a United flight attendant), "why would anyone choose to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?"

No way.
I have fears when I am on ladders! Anything over 6ft gets me to shaking.

The ONLY way I'd ever do it was if I was on The Amazing Race and there was a million bucks riding on it. Otherwise, I don't think I'm pursuadable enough to do that.

My brother did it in New Zealand. He loved it. He's such a rebel,though. I think half the reason he did it was to freak my Dad out.

When I was in Colton, California there was a Bungee Tower. My kiddos and I jumped. Not sure how high it was. But, I would say at least 5 Stories Tall. I only went once. That was enough.

no, just watched "It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world" again and I'm afraid I'd go flying thru a window like some of those characters in the movie

I would like to think I would have tried it but I have always had weak ankles so wouldn't have attempted it.

No, I would never do it. It just seems to be extremely unhealthy to me. Besides the worry of something going wrong, that jerking of the bungee cord pulling the person seems like it would be unhealthy for the back/neck/whatever.

Gee, getting up high and jumping off into space--nope!
But I do have a question for you, Sandy. Where do you get all those adorable pictures and graphics that you post? You are a computer artist!
