Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think if I'd worked my way onto it voluntarily, I wouldn't have spooked like that, but because of the semi-dark twilight, it wasn't until I was several steps onto it that I looked down.
OTOH, I've been totally unable to walk out on (very short and safe) RR bridges, stepping on the ties over the gaps.
Note to self: brains weird.
My heart was beating like a triphammer in that little enclosed overhang walkway at The House on the Rock, and that had an opaque floor and visible beams/support structure. Not my cup of tea.
Though the big overlook at Lookout Mountain didn't bother me, probably because of the solid rock underfoot.
Man, I would love to walk out into that thing. I want to do the Grand Canyon Skywalk too. I get scared but I can make myself walk over it/out into it, and once I'm there it's cool. I'm fine as long as I'm upright and my feet are on something solid.

AhahahahahahaNO.
A few years ago, my family went on a cruise, and in the casino, which we had to walk through a lot, the floor had a few of these deep pits filled with various gambling-related stuff, with glass over the top. If you looked down, you saw a few feet of empty space before the stuff began. Every single time I walked over one of these things, I'd stumble a bit. I have no fear of heights at all, but the lack of floor where there had been floor a second ago just confused my brain.
Kate, I'm glad you had a goodish ER visit. Also, I'm definitely glad that Rose is responding to the medications.
Okay. Going to make PJs now.
In the Acropolis Museum in Athens, there's an ongoing archeology work site below the ground floor. Some parts of the floor are clear so you can see the work going on below. It's pretty nifty, and a great way to show the way the museum contents are tied into a living study. [link]
That said, I walked on the solid parts of the floor when I visited.
They have glass sections on the floor of the top observation deck of the CN tower in Toronto.
They have something like this in the Sky Tower in Auckland too. (I didn't mind walking on the glass; Biyi felt differently.) Being New Zealand, you can also bungee jump off the thing.
The next time you apply for a job, don't feel bad if they don't respond right away.
Companies that Respond to Resumes Fastest Have the Highest Turnover
I'd be inside that glass box in a flash! I love stuff like that!
