That was all well and good before I found a pair of rubber gloves and a half empty tube of KY in my yard.
DOH!

Well, what Barry and I have together is a special thing. You can just feel the.... well, the love between us. 
I'll tell you one thing though, if he stiff's me on my autographed 45 I'm going to hunch his leg just for the hell of it!!! LOLOLOL

Anytime you wanna go. We probably would be a bucket of fun if we ever actually meet. Seems like every time I come to the Dallas area, Barry is "conveniently" out of town. I think he's scared of my manhood.

I totally understand.I'm living proof that desensitization works. All my life I missed out on cool stuff because I was terrified of heights. I had dreams of being stuck up on a water tower clinging to the ladder. 10 years ago, I was doing something in the ceiling on the convention center arena. It's just a big open room with catwalks about 70 feet off the floor with a drop ceiling. As soon as I got there, I could see the floor through the 2 foot squares of missing ceiling that they rig through and got vertigo so bad I wobbled back to the elevator and had to go down to the 2nd floor and sit down for a while. I said "Fuck this; I'm a rigger now..." I made myself take calls working in boom lifts and stuff for almost a year until I finally took a call ar Reunion where you have to walk beams at 80 feet. Little by little, I got more confident and began to enjoy it. Now that's pretty much all I do. I still have a healthy respect for heights, though.

Glad to hear that you can get over it, though I doubt I ever will because I don't do it very often. You know guys hate to admit that they are "scared" of anything, but heights (some situations) make me feel like I'm being pulled into it. Weird I know, and if you've never experienced it, you don't know. Just like some people being claustrophobic or however you spell it. Doesn't bother me at all, never has. I can be in the tightest of spaces and it doesn't bother me. I can fly all day long and it doesn't bother me. I can stand on top of a building and I'm fine, but if I get close to the edge, or the edge of an elevator shaft, something like that, I'm fucked.
I will take pictures off the edge of buildings, or down elevator shafts as long as I can get in a position where I don't have that weird feeling. Sometimes for me that means laying down. It's weird, and I don't like it, and I know some of you are getting a good laugh (and that's ok I laugh at myself too) but it's a real feeling. I'm not nearly as bad as some people I know though, I am not afraid of heights as long as I don't have that I "could" fall. Hard to explain. Oh well, I wish I could get over it and I guess I could if I made myself, but I don't own enough prozac to get through the trauma. LOLOL
I took Noah Vale with me to explore the Dome a couple of years ago. We had a blast. He had no reservations at all about going out on the catwalks in the ceiling. No damn way I'd go out there because it is too open. Gives me that "feeling". It 218 feet above the floor, but it just "looks" unstable. Oh well, I've said enough about that. Now you guys know my fear. I'm exposed!!!!

| | | | Fear is cool. It's just something I like to keep a handle on. If it isn't a hinderance in your life then there's no sense puitting yourself through the trouble of desensitizing. If you're afraid of Tazmanian jumping spiders and you're aren't in Tazmania then why would you bother? I've had acrophobia and claustrophobia all my life and just didn't want my fears to control me. It makes me feel good when I overcome them. I got hit with a near anxiety attack in a 6 foot drain me and Alexplorer were canoeing into. At 3/4 mile or so with zero visibility and 100% humidity I started feeling nauseous. I asked Alex if he felt anything to see if there was sewer gas or whatever and he said he was fine. I said "Well it must be a panic attack then and I just need to cowboy up. Once I identified it and convinced myself that it wasn't a legitimate concern, it went away.

Yeah, you're right. And I've learned not to let it bother me so much anymore. I just stay away from the edge of buildings and I'm fine. I'll make a deal with you Barry, you walk to the edge of the building and take those pics, and I'll crawl into the small tunnels and get those. Together, we can make a helluva team.
