Logic defies your fear of flying. If the 150-odd other people on the plane aren't afraid, don't you think your fear might be somewhat irrational?
Of course, I understand that fear is generally not rational. However, the main source of fear is lack of comprehension. If you understood how planes fly, you would realize that most of your fear is based in fantasy.
You are more likely to die in a car accident than in a plane crash.
Then again, I'm so numbed to flying that I frequently sleep through turbulence, take offs and landings.
So, like Grumpy said, try to take your mind off of it. It's over before you know it and I figure you actually DO have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do of dying in a plane crash. And if it's not death you fear, then your ears popping is the worst you'll have to face. And that can be overcome by chewing gum.

Just think: what's the worst that could happen? You could die horribly. That's about it. See? No biggie.

She'd have a better chance of getting struck by lightning. Are you saying she should never leave the house?

That would be funny. But it also would be funny if she just happened to recall what I wrote here in midflight and had a panic attack and started weezing.

I'm back!!!!!!!! Nope, I didn't die in a fiery crash over the heartland. In fact, I was pretty calm and collected. Thanks to you guys who didn't rag me about having irrational fears.
And for the record, I STILL HATE TEXAS!!!

As some of you know, a trip to Texas is in store for the Moosen household. Now while it's a necessary trip, I don't want to get on the motherfucking plane!! I researched alternate modes of travel, and none were feasible given the time constraints related to this trip, so it's gotta be by air. I HATE to fly, and I'm really fucking pissed that I have to do it. (Thank you God for providing me with meds for this trip or I don't know how I'd do it).
Secondly, FU to the two people (to both of which I'm related) who decided (for me) that this trip was to happen. I love them, but forcryingoutloud I don't want to do it!
Lastly, FU to the bastard, who by his actions in February, made it all come to fruition. I hope you know how much pain and anxiety you caused me and my family. I'd say that you can go to hell, but the climate might be too cool and the accommodations too comfortable for your stay in eternity. Instead, I hope your genitals become necrotic and gangrene, and said infection slowly and painfully robs you of your life... little by little and so slowly that the excruciating pain drives you mad.
Nah! even that is too kind. FU!!
(I'm not too bitter now am I??)
That is the best crazed post in a while.
