The question of the day today is; Would you ever go bungee jumping?

First of all, for me it wouldn't just be a no, it would be a HECK NO!

I'm terrified of heights, and honestly you are lucky if you can ever get me on a roller coaster, let alone do this.

Now growing up in Wyoming, one of the more popular summer activities was bridge jumping. It was a lot shorter jump, into water, and just something fun to do on a hot summer day. Mind you, my brothers and even some of my sisters did this. It was just a very common thing in rural Wyoming. As long as the river below was deep enough and you jumped from the center of the bridge so you wouldn't hit the rocks, all was good.

And yet, even then I just didn't have the stomach for it. I would swim in the river, I'd tube down the river, and I'd raft down the river, but never, and I repeat, Never would I jump into a river from any height.

So it's fairly reasonable to say, never in a million years, nor for a million dollars would I bungee jump!

Although, after the week I've had with this horrible cold that just won't go away, constantly constricting my lungs, hinders my breathing and even has my eyes constantly watering, and gooping up and then crusting over, yes even with my eyes still open…gross I know. Maybe if you could assure me that I would be instantly cured of this stubborn cold that just won't go away and has me completely laid up…well maybe I would consider it for a brief moment.
