ZombieKitten said:

Nice.

I've been to the top of the Empire State Building on a school trip before but I really don't remember anything bcuz I was like in the 3rd grade. The only thing I can remember is when we were going up in the elevator my ears got REALLY clogged.

.. that's a building i've never been in, but i have been to the top of the WTC and the head of the Statue of Liberty.. was long time ago though...

KidaDynamite said:

did you go in the old elevator upwards of the 85th floor?

The lift in this one went up 9m per second, so it took about 30 seconds to get to the 88th floor I had to get the kids to yawn and swallow constantly on the way up!

ZombieKitten said:

I don't know if it was old or new it was about 12 years ago so you are gonna have to do the math and tell me.
But I had to yawn constantly also to keep my ears clear.

Flowerz said:

Well that's the only building 'that high' that i'll ever go on the top of again.

The Statue Of Liberty I so couldn't do that, plus it over water.....Hell 2 Tha Nizzaw.

KidaDynamite said:

wasnt too bad really.. but that picture of Zombie n family in the glass elevator? .. no, i couldnt do that lol ..

KidaDynamite said:

the old elevator is still there, for the top 16 floors I think

Flowerz said:

Yes. I think I would have fainted....and i'm NOT a fainter at all.

KidaDynamite said:

I thought I would cry but I didn't want to in front of the kids and make them think there was a reason to be afraid

ZombieKitten said:

You pulled it off great. When you look at that picture with you and the fam, you look like a natural!

ZombieKitten said:

You're the only one concious of where you are standing, both feet on the beam

I dont know how u did that Zombie, I would have either passed out or had to have been prised off the walls while screaming

I need to do this one. I've been up the top of the Rialto like a million times but I haven't gone to this one yet.

Your kids are really cute

Awesome photographs btw!!

ZombieKitten said:

Beautiful. As always eye for detail. Amazing. Love it!

when i first started going out with my now husband- he dragged me up the top of the shot tower- i didnt look out at the top. 259 shaky steps up and back

talk about sweaty palms

The top of the tower can be accessed via a 259 step circular staircase and offers spectacular views up, down and across the Derwent River

oh, did i mention i only made it to the 1st landing in primary school

but u wont get me up there again

Afraid of heights You miss some of the most beautiful places in the world just for that.

I'm arachnophobic but that wouldn't stop me from going to Australia if I had the cash.

I stood this close to a spider with Tyra in November, I wouldn't even have gone in the room if I'd been on my own but you can't show the child you're afraid. Or you CAN but then you become a parent/aunt/whatever who pass the stupid fear on to the child and that shit should be illegal. There are no even remotely intelligent people who don't realise that phobias are only in our minds and have no logical reason, so passing them onto children is like you want to curse them with the same fear.

I'm better with spiders than I used to be, working with horses for 20 years will do that. I've always loved heights, used to sit on the railing of our school gathering hall, the 3rd floor balcony about 90ft up...on the side facing outwards. It's a lovely feeling plus it gives the bullys the distinct info: "If we push her down from there she'll DIE and we don't wanna bully her THAT much."

This is the fear I want to over come, the SkyWalk at the Grand Canyon.

Teacher said:

i try not to show my fear- i dont want my son turning into me

i know there arent any logical reasons to phobias- i keep telling myself that (cbt helped) but my main fear- is of the fear itself


i am better than i used to be
;woot

That's the best you can do The fear often gets bigger than the object, not all cbt therapists recognise that transferring the fear might happen during treatment.
