Are you afraid of lightning strikes?

[Elozaa]

[NathanDavis]

no, I like them... maybe too much, lol

so I no longer go out during thunderstorms

[Nuget]

Same here. But I play sounds to help me sleep, and I like rain storms, but the lightning gets annoying. lol

[NathanDavis]

@Nuget right... I'm also one of those that has a much much better sleep when it's raining or storming

[Nuget]

You can download apps for that, or go on Youtube.
My favorite is rain drops on a canvas tent. It brings back great memories.

[NathanDavis]

@Nuget I should move back to the mountains...

[Nuget]

The universe is all about polarity. For every plus, there's an equal minus.
I've met tons of people from Alaska. They all loved it. I figured it would be 50/50, but I was wrong.

[NathanDavis]

@Nuget I've had enough of Texas summers' heat.. lol

[Nuget]

I've never been to Texas, but I heard that Texas wouldn't exist without AC. lol

[NathanDavis]

@Nuget that's the truest truth I've heard... lol

actually the AC is my relaxing white noise when I sleep at nights, lmao...

are you from the Up North?

[Nuget]

100 miles South of Canada. The perfect place to live is somewhere that doesn't require heat or AC. I'm not sure where that would be.

[NathanDavis]

@Nuget San Diego came to mind right away... as I've heard from friends

and then, I actually looked up exactly what you said lol...

" The Perfect Cities. Without further ado, here are the 13 cities where the temperature is wonderful year round, in alphabetical order:

-Antananarivo, Madagascar

-Bogotá, Colombia

-Caracas, Venezuela

-Durban, South Africa

-Guatemala City, Guatemala

-Lima, Peru

-Mexico City, Mexico

-Nairobi, Kenya

-Port Elizabeth, South Africa

-Quito, Ecuador

-San Diego, California

-São Paulo, Brazil

-Sydney, Australia "

[Nuget]

San Diego was the exact place I was thinking of. I told my sister-in-law that I was going to try and win 2 billion dollars, and move us all to San Diego. She said no. I think she confuses San Diego with Los Angeles.

[NathanDavis]

@Nuget many people see it that way...

and there are also, better parts within San Diego, for sure... lol

I might move there one day as well... either San Diego or somewhere Up North

[Nuget]

I bet you would be in hog heaven in Montana. I'm a taxi driver. A famous surgeon from Red Lodge Montana, flew his private plane to Alaska. Why? Because a guy died, but he had a perfectly good working heart! There was a guy in Seattle that had a crappy heart.
To this day, I don't understand why I was flying down the freeway with a heart in the back seat of my cab. But my job was to get it to an airport with a helicopter waiting. I thought helicopters could land anywhere!
Why am I stuck with a Styrofoam container with a heart on dry ice? Some poor guy in Seattle was hoping I could finish my leg of this race. My hands were shaking. When I was dispatched for this, I was told it was a package that needed to be couriered to an airport. No one told me it was a fucking human heart!😂

I was flying down the road doing 90 in a 60. I was practicing my speech for when a cop pulled me over.

Cop: What's the rush? Going to a fire?
Me: No, there's a guy in Seattle without a heart, and I have one in my back seat.
Cop: Oh. Alrighty then. Carry on. God Speed.

[notfoundtoday]

Nope
Not anymore.
What about you?

[Elozaa]

I do

[notfoundtoday]

Is there anything you do to distract yourself with it?

[Elozaa]

Yes, my cell phone

[notfoundtoday]

I had a female friend who use to call me when it starts lightning and talks to me to distract herself.

[Elozaa]

Then you must be a good friend

[notfoundtoday]

Yes.
You can say that.

[FreyaRed]

No, unless they hit so close it feels like artillery fire.

[NikolaiIvanovB41]

You have a better chance of hitting the lottery than getting hit by a lightning strike

[RedInnocent68]

Actually know someone who was struck by lightning! But no, not really afraid.

[andreasderjuengere]

I don't think that I'll have time to be afraid if one strikes me.

In general I find them impressing and excitiing.

[exitseven]

No, it would be a good way to go, Quick and greasy.

[Staximus]

Yes, I almost got stuck by lightning during a summer storm on Lake Mead while riding a jet ski

[ohmyguy]

No... I m not dismissing the danger. But I don't worry about getting struck

[RandomDude_2043284]

I'm no wimp. Nope. I mean, I used to when I was a wee little boy, but now, not at all.

[John_Cobretti]

Very much...🌩

[Elozaa]

So am i ⚡

[balyai]

I love to skydive. That should answer the question

[DJB72]

I'm more afraid of Eskom's "loadshedding"

[Slim57]

Yeah I am if I'm out in the storm

[LavLavLuv]

Sometimes yes

[Luckycharms12]

Nope

[LunarEclipse433]

Not really

[Jmmmfi4]

NOT REALLY

[caramelcake37]

Sure

[TheGuyYouCrave]

You first.

[Elozaa]

Why..

[TheGuyYouCrave]

Why do you ask?
