I'm printing off my framable card as we speak. I also thought about shrinking it down and then putting it in a keychain-how cool would that be?Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693590401750798739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15263851.post-1144826847243457222006-04-12T00:27:00.000-07:002006-04-12T00:27:00.000-07:00Friday: I think of skydiving as shock-treatment fo...<B>Friday</B>: I think of skydiving as shock-treatment for fear of death. Free-fall is not an overrated experience by any means, but you can get similar senses of glorious freedom by running down a grassy hill, sledding, or even swinging on a swing. Speaking not as a gruff, manly representative of the great apes, but as your friend, Brad, I recommend you only do skydiving if you have a yearning and longing for the adventure of it. Otherwise, there are much less dangerous (and less expensive!) ways of dealing with your fears.:)Brad the Gorillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16291838893385970642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15263851.post-1144778530891578612006-04-11T11:02:00.000-07:002006-04-11T11:02:00.000-07:00I have always wanted to go skydiving, and hope to,...I have always wanted to go skydiving, and hope to, sometime in the future. I've teetered on fear of heights for years, but have overcome that one. Rollercoasters scare me, going down, but it's not the drop...it's the fear of the car flying off the track (I've watched WAY too many corny "horror" flicks involving amusement parks). I believe skydiving may just be what I need to let go of all fears. Did you feel an excessive sense of freedom afterwards?Hazedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993258575129632255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15263851.post-1144728563188670572006-04-10T21:09:00.000-07:002006-04-10T21:09:00.000-07:00Ulric,I've corrected the error.
