(except the Gilmore Girls...that show is just too girly for me...)
I have the hots for the Mother something chronic. :twisted:

As for rollercoasters, never go on 'em so can't answer the question. I have been on all sorts of planes, trains , boats and automobiles though and have never had a motion sickness problem. The closest I came was having to wear a helmet to block my vision while learning to fly with just instruments (did you have to do that Keith?), I could only handle that for a little while at a time before starting to feel nauseous.

Oh yeah, many many times - I hated flying under the hood, not from a motion sickness standpoint (although recovery from unusual attitudes sometimes made my stomach lurch!) but more from the level of concentration required.

I never knew you did any flying training, Greg! Did you get your licence? I havn't flown since I had my mortgage - if only I could pay it off (I guess these Disney holidays don't help with that!)

Yes, she is attractive... :)

The flying lessons were something I did many many years ago to be able to cross another thing off my "life list". I wanted to get as far as soloing so I could say that I'd done it but it was just to prohibitively expensive to keep it up. I loved deliberately stalling the plane and doing touch and goes between the big planes landing at Coolangatta but you won't get me on a roller coaster, weird huh?

No weird at all, like I said in another thread, I was exactly the same - had a pilots licence but not a fan of coasters. Then I rode California Screamin' and now I think they are great, so there is hope for you yet (I was forced on to coasters to impress a girl - ie. Della - I couldn't look scared in front of her! It was the best fear I've ever overcome!)

On a slightly different note - I'm a pilot, but scared of heights...go figure!

Before - and it's not the "Simulator Sickness Syndrome" either... I can ride Star Tours or Stormrider all day if necessary !

I always pack the Mylanta when I go overseas - just in case I over indulge. This time I only needed them after lunch at the Soda Fountain - 1 chili cheese dog followed by a big dessert...not good :)

It's possible to over indulge? :shock: I don't think I've ever reached that point. :D

It may take a few hours (depending on my shift) but I check the board at least once a day for spam and for spam members and delete them. There are a lot of "members" who had dubious web sites in their profile before a bit of editing. :wink:
