I swear if I walked on that thing, you'd have to get the paramedics to bring me back.

Acrophobia is irrational but it is VEY real.

I had to be escorted out of the Arch in St. Louis. Folks with me said I went pale as a sheet, skin got all clammy. They thought I was a goner.

Salt Lake City's nice. Cool bookstore. Pretty good rollie-coaster site up the road.

It ain't all Mormony, and even the parts that are are kind of pleasant.

I'd like to get back there one of these days.

hey, it ain't torture if'n I don't go...

be honest... would do you really wanna be there tuh hear me to share the innermost crap in my soul?... I thought not...

It'd be the only part worth the price of admission!

Well, if you two think about it and want to go, the registration's all paid. I don't know who'd take care of your monsters... :~D

not a pretty mental picture...

One of my brothers is the same way. Heh...I can remember walking to town with him, and there was a bridge - just over the freeway - that he couldn't cross if he looked down. One time he forgot and caught a glimpse over the edge. We had to wait AGES for him as he crawled slowly across with his eyes averted. It was just sad.

And the little museum in town has opaque panels in the floor upstairs. He can't handle those, either.

And yet, he's pretty much OK with flying. I don't completely understand it.

I think the whole point of this discussion is that we ~don't~ want to be there. ;~D

Flying isn't heights.... your feet are still on the floor.

I grew up with girls occassionally wearing this stuff. Chinamen were in the Gold Rush Country from the beginning.

[g'nad]

I meant someone you know, or to yer local church... you know... the buildin' with a cross that you drive past without lookin' at?...

[HairOfTheDog]

You ~are~ someone we know. :~D

[g'nad]

I'll deny it...

[Professional Engineer]

Spiderboy has a blue one as well. I don't think he's worn it, at least for pictures.

[RosieCotton]

Is that the difference? I dunno!

On the other hand, we flew a few times - just rides, really - in tiny aircraft. My grandfather's company had a small plane, so they'd come up from Indiana to visit in a little four or six passenger plane. Those freaked my brother out, too. We talked him into taking a ride once, and after one look out the window, he spent the rest of the flight white as a sheet, holding onto the seat with sweat running down his face.

There are witnesses that you know them.

I, however, suffer an inexplicable memory loss when it comes to Entmoot and need not be killed.

[g'nad]

too cute...

[SuziQ]

Is that Bittygirl? She ain't so bitty anymore is she? What a cutie!!

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh... If you don't want to go, I don't blame you a bit. My friend Tiff would probably really like it... We'll ask her.
