What's the most "daring" thing you have ever done?

It was the "naturist" thread that got me thinking about this, and I don't mean "daring" as in bungee jumping/white water rafting/swimming with sharks kind of way!!

When exdh and I were "walking out", there was a day that I knew his parents were going to be out. I thought I would surprise him, so I went to his house on the bus, got off at the appropriate stop and walked the couple of hundred yards or so to his house.

He let me in and offered to take my coat. That was when he discovered that all I was wearing underneath was a set of black lingerie, complete with stockings and suspenders.

I had taken clothes with me in a bag for the journey home, but heaven knows what would have happened if the bus had crashed!

I am a 'heightist' too. Can remember screaming at the girls to get back from the edge - of the walls around York! Yet I was the one who enjoyed every moment of a helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon....bizzare! Cant do a step ladder but can do that.

Talking about heights reminded me of another scary thing. I was in my mid to late 40s and we all went to Seaworld on the Gold Coast. Our two lads loved the water slide - a very very long and high one - and they persuaded me to have a go. I got up there and looked down and wanted to turn back but people were behind me and so i had to do it. I was utterly terrified, screaming blue murder, and going faster and faster.... At the bottom I staggered off, stamping my feet in fury. A lifeguard was there to see if I was OK. I just said 'that was utterly and absolutely horrible" and looked around for my family.

They'd hidden, disowning me.

They still laugh at me when they remember.

MsCyprah - I was very interested to read about your time in America - what a wonderful thing to be able to help to get Obama elected - well done. Here's hoping he has another term to try to carry through his policies.
