No, I love to fly. I even like airline food. If you are afraid of flying then ask the person next to you if they don't mind you talking to them during the rough bits. Channel your nervousness into talk. Hopefully the person sitting next to you is compassionate and will listen. regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you
eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.

Alot of people made plans before the war . . . like George Zip. It was at that moment that I first realized Elaine had doubts about our relationship. And that as much as anything else led to my drinking problem We did come back to the states, I tried a number of jobs . . . well, I could go on for hours, but I would probably start to bore you. I really couldn't blame Elaine... she wanted a career. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.

I don't know about that.... I know I certainly wouldn't want to meet up with an angry dry otter who is mad because he doesn't have any water.... :omg: _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

They crash in lots of little pieces. Like today. (It's raining.) Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

My choice is that I want to overcome this fear. What is in your mind when the plane is shaking??

"Well, if this thing really does fall apart, at least the death will be instanteneous." I suppose it's an unorthodox view, but seriously, if the plane is shaking and you seriously think there is something wrong with it, there are only two possible outcomes, either you get to your destination in one piece or you die. There is absolutely nothing you can do to affect the outcome either way, so all you can do is sit, relax, and enjoy the ride. Of course that comes from a person who is not afraid of flying.

There's probably more risk of getting killed in a car accident on a freeway than in a plane blowing up or crashing. Unless you are one of those hyper-travelling types who are flying 10-12 times a month. Even then, car accidents have a higher chance of occurring. Regards, Nish

You are most welcome. :laugh: Did I mention that home is the Rattlesnake capital? :) largest supplier of antivenom usually... but we still have a few that need our local production before it goes out.... The rattlesnake round up was a short time ago, so the rest of the nation should be well stocked in antivenom again. :) The way I figure it, you can learn of all the dangers around you everyday and you can either be frightened to take a breath every morning and take a shower (speaking of one of the most dangerous rooms in the house), or... you can be satisfied that you take every precaution that you can, and just pay enough attention to give yourself the best chance possible in an emergency. There are no guarentees in life, all we can do is do our best. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.

Well, things are so completely out of my control at that point, I just have to relax.

And everytime you hop into a car... you are hurtling down the road in a tin can less than a meter between you and other traffic all at impact speeds that are deadly. Your best bet is that all of your safety mechanisms in the vehicle work properly and any accident means you only walk away with a cane.... And remember that you are sharing the road with drunk drivers, folks misusing their prescription drugs, youth convinced they will survive anything and can take any chances, suicidal wildlife, VB programmers, and VSS proponents. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Think of it as just a bumpy road, which in fact is all it is. Turbulant air is just like driving on a bumpy road. Just as cars are designed and built to handle bumps (shocks, etc), air planes are designed to handle turbulance.
