I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

About the nekkid conversation, we are pretty blase about nakedness in our house, at least for now. I imagine we'll cover up at some point, but right now the kids really don't have issues with it.

The upside down doesn't bother me at all. The only part where I sometimes have trouble is stepping off the platform. I'm fine once I'm in the swing, but always have a moment of "eek" when I need to step off.

height. I forgot that part. I have weird things about height. Standing 3 to 10 feet off the ground - bad. cliffs on mountains, not happy but better. I think it is because I don't have an depth perception. I know 3 feet and 10 feet are different, but I don't know how different.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

How did you get interested in doing trapeze, Hil?

Did it at camp when I was a kid and had fun, then a few years ago I saw something on TV about the trapeze school in NY, and I googled it and found out they had a branch in Baltimore. I really should be doing situps -- my abs are really out of shape, and those are the muscles that are usually most sore after trapeze. Well, abs and the backs of my shoulders.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, Kristin! I hope you got seen and are home resting now. I hate the I-can't-breathe feeling.

Hil, that sounds so cool. I don't think I could ever do it, but it sounds wicked cool.

Trapeze does sound wicked cool.

At this point I think almost anything that involves balance or control pretty much involves the abs. Whenever I need more balance, I just think to myself "tighten your butt, tighten your abs" and 90something % of the time it works.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I always wonder about what would make me go past my fears and do something a little bit daring.

when my BIL fell off a ladder I did get past some of my driving fears -- at least to the point where in an emergency I feel I could go way beyond my usual close to home only habits

Thanks guys. I'm feeling better, and I'm gonna go read for a bit and then try to get to sleep.
