I always say I don't fear heights, I fear falling, and seeing the far away ground by my feet does that. I don't like floor to ceiling windows more than a few flights up. Put a railing or wall at least to my waist and I'm fine. A telescope balcony way up? Fine, as long as it is solid and not grating. I've taken in this view: [link] personally, but I wouldn't go anywhere near the edge (taken from popping out out the top of this: [link] My bottom half stayed inside the enclosure.)

(Also, that's a balcony WITH grating and it terrifies me. As did exiting the door to it, because that was before they extended the railing higher by the door. Don't even get me started on the platform the Sloan is on. Grating over the side of the mountain. I couldn't do the glass walkway over the Grand Canyon....)

The President is even hotter when he's ticked off, isn't he?

Happy birthday, Suzi!

my first foray up to my roof ended up with my first bee/wasp sting. I was right off both.

Wow. I can't believe making it to adulthood without being stung.

My fear is more of steep grades than heights. Impractical, because grades I can climb still creep me out.

Never been stung.

Mmmmmmm, intense foaminess!

Never been stung.

I've been stung a couple of times. Mom was allergic to bee stings, so the first time I wondered if I was gong to die. The next time I just hated on yellow jackets a little bit more.

I've only been stung once, by a bee.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've been stung once by a bee and that's it. It put me right off bees, though, I tell you what! I had this notion that they won't sting you if you don't bother them (probably mostly true), but the way I implemented that was by completely freezing any time I saw a bee, until it flew away. I still have to remind myself that I don't actually have to do that.

I did the completely freezing thing, too. I was stung by a bee at age five when one accidentally got caught in my sweater and I panicked.

I do not do grates, either. I can barely walk across a bridge with a grate. Solid, please.

I have been stung twice by wasps. Once it was between my body and my arm, and when I put my arm down, it stung me. The other time, I was sitting in a field of clover that was being swarmed and got stung. It wasn't a big deal either time, and I am not bothered by bees/wasps at all. I usually just ignore them until they go away.
