I'd Like To Do Anything At Least Once

I almost drowned in the school pool (high school) once.

I tried to drive one of those motorized shopping carts in the store and drove into customers and displays - once.

I put up my hand (but nobody else did) in Journalism, but put it down again when the instructor asked, "Anyone besides her?" - once.

There's more, but you get the idea.

I'll do anything once - but twice is out.

I'm bored after that.

I was a swim instructor and lifeguard during college and HS ... summer camps, neighborhoods pool. This is 50+ years ago stuff.

But I still cringe over people who are terrified of water, of drowning, and whatever drove them to that state. The fear sometimes that's so embedded that it may never be overcome.

@MaryJanine No, I meant other than swimming, you said you try everything once.

@samueltyler2 I have to know what it is first, and if it seems relatively safe, I'll give it the "old college try". But if it turns out badly or trouble (like the swimming episode) my brain clicks on "not for you" and I don't do it again.

@MaryJanine ever do any nude things? beach, posing for an artist? just to test your daring?
