What’s something you need to do — but haven’t yet — because it scares you?

Colonoscopy. My Dad died of appendix cancer, which apparently is a rare “relative” of colon cancer so the pathologist that did my Dad’s autopsy recommended me and my three older siblings to all look at getting screened sooner rather than later.

I took up scuba diving to conquer my fear of sharks. I'm a divemaster now with a few hundred dives done around the world, I still have a fear of sharks but I'm more philosophical about it.

Drive a car in California. Not yet, because I used to drive to work but I just...the people here aren't east coast drivers.

I’ve only driven in Encinitas and San Diego, but as an impatient DC driver, I was surprised by how fast and aggressive the drivers were in CA.

I drove all over SD last week on the 8 and 5 and the drivers reminded me of East Coast drivers. Metro areas are all filled with aggressive, stupid drivers pretty much everywhere in this country.

I'd say travelling by plane to long distance places, where you fly for more than 10 hours.

I have to go to Australia eventually to visit my sister. And the flight is like 25 hours.

I'm scared to get a panic attack while flying.

How about you guys?

Book flights with lots of stopovers... it'll take longer to get there but shorter flights.

Dude..

I'm a Black dude and that's a tee ball question.

"Honey, do these jeans make my @$$ look fat?"

- You "He// yeah. Now strip 'em off."






If I have to tell you what to do next, then you're beyond my help. :)

Sounds like Sydney... fuck that place. I'm happy to just fly there and catch ubers, because the drivers are insane.

For what's supposed to be a laid back state I'm far better on all of the east coast states I've driven in.

I just don't think there is such a place, when you have craploads of people on the road as "laid back". I think it just gets inevitably gets more stressful, the more people on the road. This is why I love living in my nice, spread out little town.

I live in a small town, if you hit every red from one side to the next it'd take you 12 minutes tops. California drivers are just impatient stupid pricks. The amount of accidents I avoided going to and from work I changed my route.

OK, maybe small town is a bit of an exaggeration in my case... it would take about an hour to drive across, but only has a population of about 450k, so quite low population density. Think Washington DC, but with less cool museums.

Big cities are fun to visit occasionally, but why the hell anyone would actually want to live in one is beyond me.

I enjoyed San Jose with a million people, fun finding an Arsenal bar in Japantown out of nowhere which created hanging out with friends watching the games every weekend etc but even though I lived in the posh part of town would still hear gunshots every now and again. I guess I've had it all, Amsterdam felt like living in a small town, Norfolk, Virginia the same.

Yeah fuck that... I'll stick to Australia, where you have a much higher chance of being struck by lightning than shot.

I flew into Virginia when going into DC, but didn't really see any of it. Maybe next time.
