What have you done once..and would you never do again....

Got talked into/tricked to take a ride in a USAF T-38 Trainer.
It was my last reenlistment and my boss thought it would be 'cool'
to arrange a flight.

After getting checked out and all the safety instructions relayed,
the pilot told me he would take it easy, to sit back an enjoy.

I should have known he was lying and after we headed out over the high desert,
he commenced to do things that was far from 'taking it easy'!
The pilot sits in the rear seat and me, I'm up front just hanging on.

I just wanted out.

My family was there when we landed and my wife said she had never seen a look
on my face quite like that.
I recovered since my sons were there and told them it was 'Awesome'.

Still fly to get to places, but I'm a nervous wreck the whole time.
 

Eat Wasabi sauce!!! 🥵

Drink Southern Comfort and Apple Jack together. Never, ever again. But if you like near death experiences, be my guest. 🤮

Funny you should mention that combo. The year Tommy and I ran away to the carnivals, we made a bunch of apple Jack. I drank them together and loved it. Little hard on the noggin in morning, but otherwise, all good. (y)

I dated a former meth addict for 8 or 9 months. When we met, she'd been clean and sober for 5 years. She was sweet, caring, and super-cute, but addicts adopt habits besides drugs that they just can't break. Lying is one. That was a biggie. Difficulty reasoning is another...or maybe it's just a lack of common sense. They're not good listeners. And she was really hyper-emotional, over-reactive, easily alarmed. She'd panic over nothing...just life's little problems, you know?

She was exhausting. And I can't abide liars.

My ex was a gambling addict. We broke up. It wasn't so much her sneaking off to gamble, it was her lying. We were on a day trip. She was driving. She mentioned something really trivial, but I knew she was lying. I couldn't figure out why she would lie about something so trivial, then it dawned on me that I couldn't trust a damn thing she said.

Ditto..my first husband , a gambler and ergo a liar....... ..I always said, that if he told me it was raining, I'd have to go outside and check...
 
After a roller skating session at the local club, get sardine fashion into a friend's car, go to a dinner (defunct franchise) where all 9 of us, would order a 3 foot long sub sandwich, we'd all share plus 3 pitcher of Pepsi, dessert was a monstrous sundae with 9 spoons.

Three years we did this, Bradley was the leader of our group, and I was smitten... Out of the blue after the roller skating club closed, his father shipped him to Army. Never saw him again... đź’”

Good point: lying comes with all addictions.

And, yeah, Pam would lie about the stupidest stuff. Meaningless lies with no purpose at all except to talk, I guess.

Lee, if you don't mind, what happened when you smoked catnip? (I'm a student of herb smoking or creative incense burning.)

I meowed and had to use the litter box.

But seriously I did get sick on it, had a sore throat and eyes burned. Catnip was from a live plant, maybe dried would have been better. And maybe I should not have had a beer chaser.
