Have you ever opted to try out something you wanted badly enough so that you declared "I don't care if it kills me "?

Uh.. yeah it is.

 

  Wow, that’s great. How many times did you do it?

Once.

Very  brave!

I figured I had already lived at least half my life, I have no kids or husband to worry about or take care of - what the heck.  I preceded that with a hot air balloon trip in New Mexico, and rounded out my death-defying experiences with white water rafting in Pennsylvania.  I'm done now.  I've tempted fate sufficiently. :)

 

  What, no tilde-wrangling?

:(

Not in my wheelhouse.

That'sounds like pretty good adventures.

i took scuba diving course when I was in the Navy; that was regarded as a 'calculated risk'.The scariest part was jumping into the icy cold North Atlantic waters from the sbip''s deck. This post was edited by Kittigate at September 2, 2020 8:39 AM MDT

I would have liked to try that, but I can't have my nose and mouth covered at the same time without feeling as though I'm suffocating.  I was in St. Croix on vacation and wanted to snorkel over the coral reefs, but when I put on the mask and the snorkel, I nearly fainted, so I joined the two old ladies in the glass-bottomed boat!
