flying

[allvol123]

I sat next to Randy Sanders on a flight from KNoxville to Tampa in 99 or 2000.

I was stuck in a plane on a runway in Las Vegas for 6 hours. That sucked.

We sat on the plane in Cairo Egypt for 5 hours while they fixed the plane. Served us warm cokes. I was so mad cause at the time I was a smoker and they would not even let me lean out the door for a smoke.

Talk about rage.....Deny me a smoke for a few hours....craziness.

Thank god I kicked the disgusting habit. I just drink heavly

Big chunks of metal are heavy and fall quickly to the earth without proper thrust, which is probably why I am afraid of flying. I developed a specific phobia in my mid-20's (no crazy flights or anything). I did skydive once while in med school, which was amazing, but may have contributed to my fear.

On a side note, benzodiazepines work wonders for situational phobias.

or ambien and just sleep. tried lorazepam once and wasnt effective. I am sure alproxalam or diazepam would have worked better for my extreme anxiety as well (hate flying). took ambien (sleep aid) 5mg and worked pretty well to jamaica. little groggy getting off but who cares.
