Haha, you are definitely right. And I know these things, it's just hard to put them into practice. I don't know why I get so nervous to talk to a girl now. Well, I do, but damn it should go away.

And not having done it in a year plus definitely sucks. I'm out of practice.

You have to look at it as just normal conversation. You may be looking at the end result you want and nothing else. I don't know. I talk to a dozen absolutely beautiful women every day. But, I talk to everyone. I don't care what they look like, age, whatever. It's just good conversation. I struck up a conversation with a girl in a wheelchair last week while waiting in line at a market. Opening line....Hey, nice wheels. Ever think about getting a stereo installed. She laughed and we talked for quite awhile. Sounds goofy from me, but I approach everyone the same way and it's easy for me to start a conversation with anyone. Because, I like about everyone and I'm not looking for what's in it for me.

I had never looked at it that way before. You may have found the key!!! It sort of just clicked.

Friend of mine used to manage that place some years ago. Dolly keeps, or used to keep, an apartment there. You might run into her.

Yeah, I've seen her place. I was there a few days after she had stayed once. It was when she had Miley Cyrus there. When was the last time you went?

Sly, do you like roller coasters? What's your favorite that you've been on?

Used to, but not anymore. I woke up one morning afraid of heights. I seriously think it had to do with my Dad's death. Before, Before that, Great American Scream Machine in GA was pretty good.

I am afraid of heights too. I've tried to tame it, but I get jelly legged.

With a roller coaster, I love the climb up. The sudden drop kills me, though. I love flips, corkscrews, hairpin turns. I ****ing love roller coasters, to be honest. I'll ride anything.

Wasn't always that way for me. I could walk a steel beam that was 50 feet in the air with no problem. Then, woke up one day and couldn't. Weird. Fear of heights is psycho analyzed as suicidal tendencies. So much for that crap.

Haha, I'm a chicken when it comes to that. I've walked across some stuff, and almost fallen just because I freak out. I'm lucky to be here haha.

Have you ever studied Freud in depth? He definitely went wayyyy too far with some of his theories, but in a general sense, I agree with most of his stuff to an extent. Not the fear of heights, but a lot of the stuff about fixations and being stuck in a certain phase.

I'm headed to bed now. But, I will check my insurance to find a chiro after chatting with you. Probably time to give one another chance. Much cheaper than the MRI my doc wants to do.

It's changed a lot in the past 30 years since it was Rebel Railroad, Goldrush Junction and whatever other names they had before she bought it.

My parents always talk about Silver dollar City haha. It definitely caters more to a thrill seeker now, rather than a family trip. There is stuff for kids, but it's gotten so crowded. The place is wild. They've put in some good coasters.

Have read but never studied. I've always thought that everything was within each person. The answers, the cure, the realizations. Freud and others have good ideas that apply to some. Not me, though.

Alright, take it easy, Sly. Thanks for the conversation and being helpful. Hope you get fixed up.

That was the one I couldn't remember. Silver Dollar City. Good times back then.

Each person is going to be different. Their capabilities in coping or dealing with whatever problems that present to them. Also, what coping mechanisms you choose to use can decide if you really come to peace with your problems or if they will arise again in the future.
