The Stumpy School for Panic Situation Training

That depends....  How well are you insured? ;D

Careful Heather!  I think there may be a conspiracy (sp?) with K-3 and Stumpy!  Don't forget the photo!!!  Give your lawyer a copy of the pic just in case!!   ;D

 My peacock feathers are fluffed and I expect hot homemade cookies when I get home! Say my name, say my name ;D So what if I was laughing, it was totally out of nervousness. I was once in a out of control car heading for the ditch laughing my head off. Weird, I catch myself racing in the rain with a huge grin on my face giggling as I save the highsides, I do admit I'm a sick puppy.

Oooooh...looks like a freakin' picture of a shrew had the desired affect!!!  Heh.  

Whatever the heck your peathingy feathers are, try not to get them on the floor or no cookies for you!  

Hear that, sweetie?  It was my whip cracking.

Heather, i'm afraid of heights as well, I don't even like going up the bleachers in turn 5 at Road America.

It's not that you don't trust yourself, though.

In my case, I passed out and feel down a small set of bleachers when I was 10. I wasn't hurt, and had actually forgot about the incident until about 5 years ago. Now i know why I'm afraid of height, but that doesn't change the fact.

Hey Stumpy, I'm a sick puppy, too. I once was showing my sister how fast I could take a sweeping off ramp in my Rx7. However I didn't compensate for the additional weight of her as a passenger. We went looping around at about 60 MPH and jumped up over the median and wound up stopped on the On ramp. I just sat there laughing hysterically. Good thing neither of us was hurt. My sister sat there and looked at me like I was nuts. Cool thing was we just got back on the freeway and headed on our way.  ;D

I think we've all laughed at some point during or after a bad situation.  It's just the way our type of people deal with stress.  Fight or flight?  Well, through much training and abuse, we've learned not to freeze, so what else can we do with all that excess input?  Maybe we teach ourselves to view such a situation as ironic rather than terrifying.
Naturally, there's a spot in my novel that deals with this subject....
