Did you say acrophobia?? ACROPHOBIA ?!?!?!?

I took a drama class in high school. I had to climb on top of a scaffold to
adjust some lights. I got up there and shook like a leaf. I was scared
****less. I finally got to the floor and wondered why there was a puddle on
the floor. It was from me sweating from 30 feet above!

I got acrophobia bad. I have always had it. And always will. I get scared
watching stuff on TV that involves heights.

Guess that eliminates any possibility of Upstate New York native
American blood in your background.

My maternal Grandfather once told me that his first paying job as a
young boy was to climb the main mast of a clipper ship in Sydney
Harbour (Australia) and put a rope thru' the pulley sheave on the mast
top - he was paid 30 shillings for the feat - several days wages for
an adult. Many adults had tried but all had failed to get to the top,
it took him 3 attempts & his advice was - Don't look down.

Know the feeling. I even hate atrium buildings and will walk along the
wall side with one hand on the wall. Also hate open/glass elevators.

That said, in the service I rappelled off cliffs and, routinely, out of
helicopters, not cheerfully, but was able to force myself, through sheer
will power, to do it. I even did some rock climbing in the service in an
effort to overcome the acrophobia ... although I am able to momentarily
overcome the fear and perform/function, it takes a lot of mental effort
and nothing really works to make it easier to take.

Basically, hate ladders, roofs and anything else that has to do with not
having my feet planted firmly on mother earth.

I am also claustrophobic ... just the thought of being handcuffed has
kept me a law abiding citizen.

Simply put, I just like to be totally free, unfettered, with a way out,
and with my feet on the ground.

Primeval genes, with a strong sense of survival ...

Excellent, thanks for sharing. I think that all the safety rules is
probably what holds this country back. No natural weeding out of the too
stupid to take care of yourself. Obviously there would be exceptions Those
workers may or may not have been well educated but they had what it takes to
survive.

No such thing as OSHA back then! Amazingly, it is believed only 5 =
people died
during the construction and one of them was hit by a truck.
Interesting photos taken during construction of the Empire State =
Building .

I would if I could. It was sent to me in an email and I tried to copy and
paste and the pics did not come through. It did work as a .eml attachment
for others, evidently not for you.
There are about 18 picture altogether. These may help.

Wow. What would OSHA say.......
I wonder if they had a restroom?
Makes me whirl.....I know I am a lite weight....
I hear that the Native Americans were very good at these projects also.
Thanks for the pictures....john
