    I climb rocks BECAUSE I'm scared of heights. Helps me to get over that fear. It terrifies the fu(k outta me but then I feel so awesome once I'm at the top.

    That's hardcore...I like to rock climb, but I always use a rope, a harness and someone to belay me.
    Ill have to say free style rock climb.

    Never say never

    I'm never (and I mean NEVER) voluntarily jumping out of a perfectly functioning airplane.

    I've jumped out of planes, rock climbed, owned pet snakes, let tarantulas walk around on my arm...

    There are things I wouldn't WANT to do - eating living bugs and the nonsense like they make people eat on Fear Factor... but I wouldn't say NEVER.

    And I totally agree that if you have an irrational fear about things, to me - that's all the more reason to go learn to do it safely and get over the phobia.

    Oh my goodness you look incredible!!!! I should've tried that about 20 years ago, now I have trouble with Carpel tunnel in both wrists and stiff fingers. I still might try skydiving...I think the rush would be euphoric!

    I'd never go to space, do a polar bear jump, or get in a pit with snakes, spiders, or centipedes.

    I'd never:

    go bungee jumping (but I definitely want to try sky diving)
    swim with sharks (major fear of the open water, I'm fine with a pool)
    eat a live tarantula (eww!)

    I have:

    kissed the Blarney stone (and this freaked me out, I cried from fear of heights)
    held a carpet python
    eaten haggis (it's really not that bad!).

    I'll never skydive again. It's off my bucket list. Hate heights.

    skydiving/bungee jumping because i have an injury (I may die if i engaged in these activities). other than that, I am all for doing things people are normally scared of. I will not put myself in harms way tho... :)

    I think it's called caving or spelunking, no way! I hyperventilate just watching movies where people go down into those little crevices in the rocks.
    Seeing that photo of the rock climber has made me interested in trying that though : )

    You could not pay me a million bucks to travel into space or go to the ocean floor in a submarine. Basically, I am not going anywhere that the environment outside my window is not survivable.

    I was going to say that I would do the submarine until I read your last sentence. Nevermind. LOL. What about a plane?

    Add going to space to the top of my list. There's no way that I would do something like that.

    Jenn, I couldn't do caving, either, but mainly bc of animals. That's the same reason that I will never go hiking. I only go through our park trails when I'm on a bike, which makes it harder for snakes to get to me, but then I worry about them falling out of trees, so I just pedal faster when I'm going through that section. :laugh:

    My daughter and I were actually hiking in the park yesterday. You should give it a try, I hate snakes too and have seen them in this park throughout the years but have never had an actual encounter with one.

    I always thought my "never" would be handling a tarantula - but since I did that a couple of weeks ago I figure there's not much point in considering what I WON'T be doing :) Life is an open book - I say write as many lines as you can!! :flowerforyou:

    ETA: I actually have profile picture proof too :bigsmile:

    I love adventure and trying new things. I do want to go skydiving and try some other things. Will have to wait until my boys are older though. I don't want to intentionally put myself in harms way while they are little! :)

    believe it or not, it was running not too long ago.

    I'd say the only thing I would hate to do is weights..I'd go out of my mind with the boredom of picking things up and then putting them down.

    I wouldnt jump off of anything high up. I am afraid of heights. I just the other day thought I would like to go to this rock wall climbing place. I would do that but probably not rock climb out in nature.

    But I won't do that...

    I'm not sure that I could ever bring myself to jump out of a plane... but I don't want fear to hold me back in live so you NEVER know.
