I might even print it out where I can go back to it when my choice is questioned. :-) Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2926721215802040847.post-17653769983520055402012-06-26T04:17:33.142-07:002012-06-26T04:17:33.142-07:00I couldn't agree more.

The chances of the parachute not opening correctly are miniscule, you say? Well, any chance that I could plummet to earth and shatter to death, for no good reason other than that I wanted the feeling of jumping out of a plane, is an unacceptable risk for me. Same for risking a spinal cord injury just to jump a bike off of a hill. No thanks. I don't even enjoy the rush of adrenaline that other people seem to enjoy in adventure sports - no benefit to offset the risk. I feel the same about kids - I don't even like kids, let alone exposing myself to the risk that they could end up bludgeoning me to death in my sleep because I wouldn't give them money for crack, or never ever being potty trained because they are cognitively impaired. <br /><br />I agree with basically every other word in your post too, I just really, REALLY connect with the not gambling part.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120532306288176341noreply@blogger.com
