There have been a few scary moments in my life. The most frightening happened in 1992. My husband and I were traveling to Denver to visit family. We’d been looking forward to this trip as it was our first time out west. I am terrified of flying, so getting on the plane was not easy. As the Flight Attendant was speaking I paid attention to the exits.
Our flight was unremarkable as we cruised over the mountains. In back of us, I could hear the two men talking. As it turned out, they were both pilots. I casually read a magazine. My ears listening to the engines hum. As we approached Denver, the pilot explained we were approaching the airport. Around me, I could hear the clicking of seatbelts. The plane started to descend and the back of the plane dipped as if landing. I heard a gasp in back of me. My husband pointed out the window. There wasn’t an airport or runway to be seen anywhere!! The ground was quickly approaching. There was a loud roaring noise, and the plane began to shake as the nose began to lift up. The shaking continued for quite a while until we couldn’t see the ground. The pilot’s shaky voice came on to say the co-pilot had pulled us out of wind shear!! I turned to see the two men in back, and they were literally sweating. Later, as we were disembarking from the plane I shook the hand of the co-pilot and pilot. My legs wobbled and shook as I left. It wasn’t until later we learned the Doppler radar hadn’t detected the wind shear. That was a moment in time when our lives could have ended with all of the others on board. It’s something I will never forget.

Wow Twigs (((_Twig__)))That had to be scary. I have never had a bad flying experience. I'm sorry that you did but at least it had a happy ending!

SOrry. This heat in SoCal is not mixing well with my heart failure. I've been virtually devoid of energy recently.

Tish our high temp tomorrow is supposed to be 39. That would perk you up, right? Seriously, though, I'm glad you could join us tonight.

Tish, you're welcome to come join me in northern Ontario. It was below freezing last night. And we have a great heart centre (and free health care)here so we can take care of you.

Take care, Tish. Keep well.

I have accepted Tishala's brief, yet frightening hot dog story so all submissions are in. I have read all the stories and all were worthy of immunity. Unfortunately, I can only pick one and since mine isn't eligible, I have narrowed my choices down to Lance and Jan. After a great deal of soul searching and poring over the two stories again and again, I have decided to give immunity to ... JAN! Mainly because Lance has already had immunity and I like to spread it around.
Congrats, Jan. You are now Head of Household and can enjoy all the honors and benefit that the title bestows - which in this game, isn't really anything.
I will be setting up an eviction thread in which to carry out the vote.

Congratulations Jan!! Way to go!!

Adven, you've always been good at spreading it around, as well as giving everyone a chance with immunity.:)

Reader, about what you are smelling--you better check the bottoms of your shoes.

Do I look like a retired admiral from Washington? No, of course not. I don't look like an admiral, and I'm not retired.

I get tired, but not re-tired. And I've never seen a mole drink diet vanilla coke.
