Good morning, and welcome to A Bit of Me (Me), hosted by There’s A Book.
Every week, we come together to share our thoughts about issues, prompted by a question.
This Weeks Question: Would you bungee jump, go hang gliding, jump out of a plane, etc? Which one and why? If not, how come?
Uh, no! I don’t even like to fly in a plane! Fear of Flying has kept me to flights that last five hours or less. Maybe someday I’ll take the longer flights, because I do want to visit my son in Europe.
This is me…flying:
If there’s turbulence, I’m sure we’re going to crash. Every little bump signifies upcoming disaster. You really don’t want to even think of sharing a flight with me…LOL
So…no, to parachuting, bungee jumping, or any other kind of “flight.”
Risk-taking of the emotional kind is more my thing. Like the adventures in this book:
I just finished reading the sequel to this book, How to Save Your Own Life.
The primary character, like the one in the previous book, is named Isadora Wing...get it? Take flight, folks, but metaphorically for me.
What about the rest of you? Brave souls out there? Share your adventures, please!
Ohhh..we are definitely one in the same. Five hours is my maximum on a flight and even then I need chemical help to get me through the process. Heights and I don’t get along.

Yay for the chemicals! That’s me, too; valium or lots of drinks!
Thanks for stopping by, Cheryl.

I actually enjoy flying, but jumping out of a plane or something sounds insane to me, lol. I did pick something more appropriate to the sort of person I am:

That’s good to know, Crystal…While I love excitement and anything that gets my adrenaline going…jumping from heights isn’t one of those things…
Thanks for stopping by.

You crack me up! Though I’m not actually one for flying overseas surprisingly enough. I went to Hawaii when I was in high school and I thought I was going to die! I hate flying over water! Totally freaks me out! I know, that’s strange, because no matter, it’s still dangerous where ever you are. It may have to do with my fear of sharks…who knows? LOL

Even short flights can scare me, like one I took to Las Vegas (lasting only a little over an hour); it was a small plane, so every little bump felt like we were crashing for sure.
I don’t like flying over water, either….
Thanks for stopping by, Danielle…
