I was have occasional moments of anxiety at take-offs and landings, but lately I've been sleeping through those.

I did have an experience of being on a plane that blew out an engine and had to make an emergency landing. We got to take off our shoes, remove sharp objects from our pockets, and assume the crash landing position while the cabin filled with smoke.

It was kind of cool to see all the emergency vehicles lined along the runway - I felt safe knowing the planes were designed to fly on one engine. Of course a couple weeks later a DC-10 lost an engine and spiraled into the ground, which has since made me reflect differently on the relative danger.

See this thread, particularly starting here.

C'mon... ya know ya want to!!!

Her husband is very happy with her them. And is freakin' ecstatic about her wonderful back side!!!

Eek! That Guy, wow, what could have happened!! Glad that you are here to tell the tale. :snap: {I still can not type that 'E'...tried the control thing, didn't work....crappy computer....}

Oh, forgot to look at the links....no tricks, eh?

Ah, there is a part of me that is curious, but......I've had flashes of images haunt me....

Aw how sweet, well, I'll take your word and no I won't check out her backside when ever I'm at a meet or something. ;)

Checked the link~wow!! Those pictures were cool! What an event!!! Totally cool!!! But of course, this is the LoT, so, I am not surprised at its' swankness. ;0)

:blush:

Oh my, such a furry little puss. :p

And a redhead, too! ;)

I have a fear of St. Nick: Clausetrophobia

And the carpet matches the drapes!!! ;)

Kevy Baby, I think you may have gotten coal at some point...thus leading to your fear. :D

The worst times are going to be when the close the airplane door before takeoff and just before they open it on landing. That's when you close your eyes and visualize Disneyland.

When you first board the airplane, sit down and reach up to aim the air nozzle right at your face. The constant stream of air is going to help you a lot. It proves to you that your air will not run out.

Don't get drunk. It will mean more trips to the potty in the back of the plane. Airplane bathrooms are very small and cramped. If you need chemical help, get an Rx for Valium from your doctor.

You can do this. It's going to be completely worth it.

My only irrational fear is of dentists (and MBC, but that's another story). I looked to see if I could find a cool sounding phobia, but all it is called is dental phobia.

I think in extreme situations - like really, really small areas - I get a bit claustrophobic. I worked on weekends while in HS for a man the tuned and repaired pipe organs and some of the repair work was in very, very cramped quarters. That was uncomfortable.

Thank you for the tips!! You are so right about the drinking, I hadn't thought about having to get up over and over to use the bathroom! Not so good.

Oooo, I wanna go to Disneyland. But for real!! :D

Um, my biggest fear about the dentist is how much they charge. I know it is going to hurt but a lot of things do hurt, that is how I rationalize it. It isn't that long....usually.

So, tell us, scaeagles, when did this fear of MBC start? :evil:
