Having been in a situation where the doctors told my family that they didn't expect me to make it through the night, I KNOW there is no guarantee that one will wake up in the morning still alive. I now do what I want when I want, just making sure that what I want to do is legal.
Sometimes, what I want to do is not what I need to do, so I have to forgo doing what I want to do to get what I needed to do out of the way.
My attitude is any day you wake up and see the green blades of grass rather than the white roots is a good day.
Yeah....I don't let my girls swim alone, but....different set of standards for myself. I know my limits after nearly 40 years of competitive swimming.....not that shit don't happen. But even when people are home and I'm the only one in the pool....pretty much on my own, anyway. Not that I want anyone in my family to find me floating - but that's unlikely, and I'm aware of the risks and take some measures of safety (like not jumping into the deep end when I'm totally overheated so I don't pass out), but in reality, living isn't actually that safe. We're all gonna get our ticket punched - without exception - and I, for one, don't intend to forgo the things that bring me happiness just because there's a little risk involved. Hell, putting your feet on the floor in the morning involves risk,,,,and so does turning the key in the ignition. Doesn't stop ANYONE from waking up and driving.......
Agreed. I wouldnt let my kids do those things alone but i have no problems myself. You have to enjoy life, and i dont rely on others for the things i enjoy....
Now... I need to rely on you guys to send me some money HAHA
Much want. A slingshot, sling bow, and bowfishing setup in one. Different heads depending on what your doing and you can remove the bowfishing setup and you can remove the wrist brace. I must have it. But $250 for the complete kit with muzzy reel and all. I still must have it.
