Flying

I have developed a fear of flying after having a plane drop five feet in the air on one of my travels. I now take a short acting anxiety med and a beta blocker when I fly. They do the trick, but my kids say I get a little weird. What else is new???? Anyway since I am taking a flight to Arizona today I was thinking of my magic pills (that is what I call them). I was wondering if the first time I go on a date I will have to take them since I now have a fear of men. LOL

Lyn-I think they are one in the same-fear of men, fear of flying! Just don't take them AND drink at the same time. LOL

Personally I think I can get past a fear of flying, but not so much of men...... I think it's too late for that. Can you check into a group discount at your pharmacy?

I have actually developed the strange habit of falling asleep as the plane is barreling down the runway to take off.

I hope this is not what will happen with men!

Wow-and New looks so innocent I never would have guessed. But then again it's the "innocent" ones you gotta watchout for. LOL Great suggestion!

I TOO APPRECIATE NEWINPITT's answer...

You can have a shopping partner and a man and dinner paid for. WOW right on.

Flying is so fun to me about the pills, hope that when you fly today and you take a pill that a friend or family member is with you to guide you through the trappings like TSA (thousands standing around) and all other security. You will be fine I have inspected aircraft and worked with them for safety for 24 years. YOU GO HAVE FUN, and save me one of those pills, I too want some magic...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
