    All I can think of is my spine ...and everything else! I'm not a thrill seeker, especially if it's risky.

    Oh my back would never take it Chrissy... but aside from that I'm terrified of heights. Oddly tho' I've always wanted to sky-dive, my daughter has done it several times... but even before she did it I always wanted to try it. It may be that when I find myself at any height, I have an overwhelming urge to jump, which is what causes me to freeze with fear, so perhaps that's the reason I would like to sky-dive, knowing that I'd be hopefully safe jumping from a great height

    I'm not afraid of heights, Ive been up in a hot air Balloon in the 80's when we knew someone who had a business.

    Enjoyed that....I just don't like the thought of my body getting slammed about or bouncing wrong and hitting something etc.

    There is NO shock to the spine at all. When you come to the end of the cord it just stretches ever so slightly. In my case I went into the river up to my waist and the cord recoiled me back out.

    It is indeed beautiful but it’s kind of a strange thing for a person who doesn’t believe in anything but “self” to wear a talisman which by definition is a reliance on the unseen.
    Kinda fits in with the St. Christopher medal people used to wear which was a little spooky to me also.

    All that said, it’s still a fantastic piece of jewelry Lon!

    It's not really strange Bobby and I believe in many things. I wore a St. Christopher medal all through my time in Korea and four years in the military that was given to me by a Catholic aunt. I stopped wearing it when discharged.
