har har rosie 
imma gonna start the MMP thread early since I am not sure when I will be available tomorrow with watching a sick** LM** and having to do a silly webinar on our new 401k plan at work at 9am…(pointless esp since they have already sent us 2 emails and an informational brochure about it plus a paperwork packet in the mail…I guess some people still need additional hand-holding, but they are also the one’s who can NEVAR figure out how to sign in to the webinars successfully…sigh :rolleyes:)
Just so Apes doesn’t feel she’s alone:
My roommate in college was an awesome, absolutely Valkyrie of a woman, 6’tall, with long, unbound wild blonde hair. She was just…awesome. Did archeology. Didn’t laugh too hard when I balked at crossing under a spider web that contained it’s creator…I really don’t like spiders, lol. She encouraged me, we got under it, yay!
A few months later, we were driving up and down the Columbia River, really gorgeous, checking out the neato weirdo museum and odd natural sites.
Then it comes time to drive across the 4.4 mile long bridge that crosses the mouth of it from Washington to Oregon.
Until that moment, I had no idea that my friend, who was driving, feared heights. She was so scared driving across; I was blathering about how I wanted to get out and walk across 'cause it was so cool but I couldn’t see a safe area to do it, when I noticed she was literally shaking. I thought she was having a seizure, but there was no where to pull over or stop or anything. So we got to the end and she collapsed on the grass after we pulled over and got out. I was so proud of her!
As for me…I love heights! Love them so much that when I went to jump off a bridge into the river for the first time it never once occurred to me that my hindbrain might have other ideas.
I could NOT let go of the bridge. I thought I was having a seizure, 'cause my bod would NOT RESPOND TO ME. I was pissed. I was there at least a minute. Jumped with my eyes closed, finally. Did it 3 more times; it wasn’t until the last time that I could do it with my eyes open.
So…yeah. April’s just more of a survivor than we are, and pays ATTENTION to when her smart hindbrain is telling her ‘HELL NO!!!’ 
Haha, thanks Tao
You just turned a phobia into a survival technique.
