I went to with my great friend to the Toronto Zoo last Saturday and saw the Pandas, all the great big pussy cats, the young polar bear and the Gorillas where there was such a tiny cute baby Gorilla-Loved it. I walked way too much and we relied on the transit system which is another story. Yes, I was too sore the next day and probably needed an actual walker as all my joints were grinding but hey, I saw such wonderful animals and I tried to conquer a fear....Heights! Yup that's me with my friend riding on this zip thingy. That is my scary fear for Halloween day. I am going out this eve with a group of friends to a bar we like to call the island of misfit toys. They have an older crowd and good music. I am dressing up as Goo from Gumby:)
What is your fear? Have you tried to conquer it? Are you dressing up this eve?
I'm scared of rollercoasters, but I made a true, successful attempt to conquer it as a youngin -- riding every rollercoaster at Magic Mountain including the Colossus. I'm too scared to revisit that fear now. Have you noticed we get less brave (or stupid) as we age?
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween, BB!
I won't do roller coasters-too high and scary
DeleteI've been dragged on many rollercoasters and scary amusement park rides over the years. I finally decided I don't get any joy out of it whatsoever, so I just refuse now! Life's too short to do things you don't enjoy (besides the things we HAVE to do that we don't enjoy, like house cleaning!)
ReplyDeleteYou're right! We should do things we love...forget house cleaning-I am often scared of that
DeleteI'm so claustrophobic, that it's a challenge to walk into an elevator. I love the ones with glass. Heights don't bother me. So you take the elevator for me and I'll do the high wire act.
ReplyDeletehahahaaaa! I will because I will not do glass elevators
DeleteAren't zoos fun? A Ferris wheel has the same scary effect on me. Most don't even have safety straps. Have fun dressing up!
ReplyDeleteZoos are and so nice to see the animals. Saftey straps should always be there but you're right they are not in ferris wheels
DeleteGood job facing your fear! My fear would have to be enclosed spaces. Ugh I hate them!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I always try to conquer it but it keeps winning over me
DeleteI conquer my fears by telling myself nothing is impossible. That way you eliminate all sense of lingering helplessness by making it so! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice....until all reason seeps out of one's brain and you go into freak mode like I often do:)
DeleteGood for you on looking ole fear in the face.
ReplyDeleteNot planning to dress up this year. Worse, I've started eating the candy... poor kids.
We deserve some candy hence why I have also given in to the chocolate monster
DeleteMy regular clothes look like a costume, but no - not dressing up for the first time in YEARS.
ReplyDeleteAs far as fears go, I try to approach one at a time and smash 'em, with various levels of success and failure. :-)
Good for you! I have various fears but heights is a true phobia for me
DeleteDon't mind heights, but don't like speed or plunging so that your stomach lurches. Glad you're having fun!
ReplyDeleteI like that feeling in my stomach, strange enough but heights-nope
DeleteGood for you for trying to conquer your fear! Looked like fun! Absolutely have fear of heights; I would be hard pressed to do what you did :)
ReplyDeleteHowever, always do enjoy a good zoo!
betty
I try! The zoo was fun
DeleteIt's been years since I've dressed up!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time.
Oh I did and it was fun. I had a client who was dressing up as Frankenfurter from Rocky Horror-he even shaved his legs!
DeleteGood for you! I'm proud of you for facing your fear of heights. Go you!! I hope you had fun last night and got to see a lot of misfits. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe misfits were all there and it was so much fun. There were people there in their 70's! Everyone was dancing. The Man from Glad was there and he was a dead ringer for him
DeleteLadders. Even staircases which you can see through, but that's gotten better over the years.
ReplyDeleteOh I am with you but that is due to heights again for me
DeleteFun zoo trip, bar visit, and zip-lining. I always do things I'm afraid of to prove I'm not afraid. It doesn't usually end well. Congrats to you for being brave!
ReplyDeleteI know I packed a lot in:) I was mighty shaky after getting off that zip ride
DeleteI don't remember Goo, even after seeing a photo of her. Maybe I stopped watching before she came on. Oh well, I bet you were a cute goo. How did you make the mermaid fin? I still have a fear of diving into water and just jumping down period. I thought skydiving would cure me. Not at all.
ReplyDeleteYou went skydiving?? Wow! I could never do that. I didn't make the fins. I just bought blue fabric and wrapped it around me (had blue pants on and a shirt. It covered my feet and then I painted my face blue:)
DeleteSounds like you had a blast all the way around! I have a zoo membership. It's nice to go whenever I want. I luurve the aminals <3
ReplyDeleteOh that is so nice...I live away from TO so it was a treat but it took us from 6pm until 9pm to get back to downtown TO. They say to take a bus, train etc... well they better get their act together! Next time the car!
DeleteLook at you conquering your fears—that's awesome! Sounds like you had a great Halloween day and eve! I didn't really dress up this year, I guess I was too busy making sure all the kiddos had a costume that I forgot about myself. ;)
ReplyDeleteI always try to conquer my fear
DeleteGood for you! This is awesome. I am afraid of heights too so this would have been really scary for me as well. I don't know if I could have done it!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fun Halloween. :)
I did have fun and I was brave that day
DeleteWhat fun! I'm wishing you a walker for Christmas, or better yet, levitation powers. (You know you want them. ;)
ReplyDeleteI pretty much live my fears, so not much room left to explore. It's the only way to be, right? Hope you had an awesome Halloween!
Unleashing the Dreamworld
Thanks! You must be an adventuress
DeleteYou look like you've having fun!!! That must have been some ride!
ReplyDeletexxx Asha
It was and I shook like crazy after the ride
DeleteWhat a fun picture! Even though there was all this walking, it sure looks like you had a great time. Hope you had a wonderful Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI did have a great Halloween and it was wonderful to see all the animals
