I will fly. There is to much of the world to see that would be a PTIA to get to without flying.

Being trapped in an elevator wouldn't freak me out. Though if it started to get warm I'd be REALLY unhappy. It's the thought of getting trapped where I'm physically stuck, with restricted ability to move that get me.

Then there's the height thing. *shudder*

JWBear · 06-02-2008, 04:30 PM

Heights don't bother me... As long as I'm enclosed or can hold on to something. I'm one of these weird people who will press myself against a floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of a skyscraper.

However... I will not walk on a clear glass floor!

one incident as a child has left me slightly so. tied and tossed into a cardboard box by my older bro and his psycho friend. (but oh did they ever pay for that)

so...yeah, a little, but it has to be pretty seriously confining to do so.

Ah, Capt Jack, siblings!!! Being the youngest I've been the victim of so much at their hands.

Again, thanks you guys for your responses.

Ah, so, they did the air to help with people like me?

3894, I have been in places/apartments like that, they just don't feel 'right'.

I do feel a bit apiphobic myself, JWBear. And, no way would I walk on that glass floor at the Grand Canyon {if it is still open?}

GD~ how does your feeling about heights effect the rides you go on? You go on everything, I've never heard of you not. I can go to high places, I can stand on ledges and take photos BUT I went to a hotel, got in the elevator that went up 36 feet in a snap and I felt like a cat about to be thrown in water!! Step out the door and there are those floor to ceiling windows!!! While we were in the room, I felt like I was sitting atop, I don't know, something that was very tiny, like, a box being held up by a crane, maybe?

CP~you are lucky!! And, the elevators; when we were small, the Navy hospital that my dad was always in had elevators that always broke down!!! As a little kid, I wasn't afraid. I was only afraid of my brother taking us down to the morgue and not taking her back up....hmmmm....perhaps one of those 'situations, eh Capt Jack?

BTD~ I never thought of it that way about flying. But, seriously, with all of the drinking pilots, I now will think about that. ;0) And, your comment about downtown LA, yep, I feel better in the open air, but, will still go to those places.

NA~ so far none of my issues have stopped me from doing anything. I hadn't ever even considered I had an issue until I rode the subs some years ago. I knew I got seasick but still went on harbor cruises, just took care of myself. The rides that made me sick at the park? I made sure not to eat first, to close my eyes, to breathe, whatever it took. Even just to ride the ride at the end of the night so that if I got sick, it wouldn't ruin my day.

But, I can't help but wonder how I would react in a plane. I haven't ever been but that is because I honestly haven't had cause to. It has always been cheaper to drive, and, we carry so many things, just what works. Growing up, being military, I'd alread moved cross country about 3 times before I was 5!

Has anyone who has issues flown and had any problems? What do you do to prevent them? I know that there will be a time we do choose to fly and I am actually excited about it, but, afraid of how I will react. Will I need to get drunk first?

I love to fly!

Never had any issues with it.

And what makes me most claustrophobic is wearing a tight fitting bodice. Can't really handle that well (much to my husband's disappointment).

MouseWife · 06-02-2008, 06:24 PM

LOL GusGus!!!

Well, I've never tried a bodice but if I've tried on an article of clothing that ended up being too small in one of those try on rooms that is cramped and hot and I can't get the darn article of clothing off....

Wait, isn't that your bosom in KevyBabys' avatar???

GusGus · 06-02-2008, 06:40 PM

sadly, no

not even close!!!

No, it is Disneyphile's.

Link to avatar (since removed because BTD is so uptight)
Full pic of DP in said bodice
Some random porn I found on the internet

MouseWife · 06-02-2008, 06:55 PM

I wondered where it went....

Oh, nice shot, were y'all out because that is beautiful work on the bodice.

No freakin' way am I going to click on that random porn link. I never know what I would find. I guess that would have to go up on that 'phobia' list. Having already been mindblown by some other links.

GusGus, does this mean you are like me, a pirates dream?
