Ann Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail p-m Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Probably hitchhiked -- lots when I was "young" and "stupid." Oh the invincibility of youths. Now I get to worry about all kinds of things because I have 4 kids= payback time. gail p-m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacake Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Driving in Atlanta. The most daring thing is SCUBA diving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 paddled a canoe across the lake to a river at ice-off with my younger brother. We were barely high school age. He thought "don't stand up...in a canoe" was just a song. The canoe tipped over in the middle of the lake. Fortunately, the only home with their dock and boat in saw us go over and ran to the boat and saved our panting lives. It is true, when you hit frozen water you hyperventilate. I don't know why we lived long enough for them to drag our icy butts out.... Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkiesmom Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Moving to Florida. no sooner had we moved from Ca to Fl two years ago Fl was hit by 4 hurricanes and last year was just as bad. I told Gary if it is the same this year I am out of here. I will take Earthquakes any day and yes I have been through sveral of them. No time to fret about them like a hurricane when you have days to worry. Lorrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Wood Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I would say riding in a whitewater raft with my son and a guide down the Arkansas River in Colorado (1996). My son says it was going to Israel twice (1994 and 2000). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Like a couple of others here, I did the hitchiking thing many moons ago. That is really scary to think about now. Of course, people were much different then and life in general was safer. My college roomate and I left Knoxville once and hitchiked to Cincinatti, where her boyfriend lived. When my mom found out about that, it was good she was several hundred miles away from me!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyoung20 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Got married!! No, just kidding. Hustling pool in a red neck bar with a woman that had more tatoos than she had teeth. That was scary----I didn't think I would make it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda661 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 While I was still in high school, I went and visited a friend of mine who was in her first year of college for the weekend. During that time I had the experience of being with a bunch of beyond drunk and stoned people, including my friend (I did not partake BTW). It's a wonder we all made it through that weekend -- I had the pleasure of stopping a bunch of people from walking right into an open-pit fire (that's how stoned they were) and did endure what it is like to be in car driven by various folks who definitely exceeded any known DUI limits (I didn't know how to drive at the time and didn't know the area -- naive on how to get myself out of the situation fast too). I'm not exactly a prude, but this was scary.....did teach me not to do drugs or drink and drive, I'll say that much!! I never talked to this friend again after that weekend.

Ry Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I hitchhiked through Europe with a girlfriend (what were my parents thinking). When I called my dad from Spain though and said we were hitchhiking into Morocco he had a fit and talked me out of that one. We only had one problem and got away from a wacky truck driver.
