Oh crumbs some good ones here, I also had a dare devil attitude at around age 11 -12 ..I would go with my brother and we would swing on a rope swing tied to a big tree,out over a canyon, one day I fell I didnt fly all the way down or I wouldnt be here now, I fell on a ledge,my bro dragged me back up, I was covered in stinging nettles rash, when we got home he really got yelled at for not watching me better...I was always in trouble ..still am come to think of it,
Wow! These are all better than I anticpated! Keep 'em coming! I don't think I will be doing any of them in a hurry though! Think I will stick to knitting from now on!
And Yes! Angels do look after us! I have many a story on THAT subject...but that's for another time!
Cheers!
WOW!!!! There is some seriously dangerous stuff you guys listed here!
The most dangerous thing I ever did, was to get drunk and pass out in a bar, being the only female in the joint. Long story short. I was carried upstairs after the bar closed, by the bartender and about 6 of his closest friends. I woke up on a bed, puking my guts out, later, waking up again on that bed, with the bartender on my right, and about three guys in the bed on my left...there were several guys sprawled out on the floor. Back in the day....my jeans were on HELLAtight! Upon awakening, I promptly checked, and my zipper was still intact. I called a cab and got my @$$ home! I am VERY lucky!!
Well, I don't remember how old I was, but, it was sure old enough to know better. Anyway, one night, I was sitting on the beach near Seattle, and this guy walks up to me and starts talking, he said he was a park ranger, so, we talked awhile, then he took me to a resturant for a drink and then I let him drive me home. Nothing else happend, Praise God. WOW. the Lord sure was looking out for me that night, I mean, that is how folks get killed or end up missing. When I think about it know, I almost shake with fear, how dumb. Like I said, God was with me that night and so were my angels.
Bungee jumping over the ocean off a crane years ago...Never had problems with heights till I did that....
I chased a shoplifter and was successful. I knew where this guy had parked and I stood right behind his vehicle and wrote down his license plate. He actually got out of the car and confronted me. To be honest with you... I wasn't afraid at all. I guess I just trusted my gut instinct and knew that I would be fine. I heard that they arrested him later on.
