What could you NOT do, even if your life depended on it?

LIGHTHEARTED

After commenting on another thread that my worst nightmare would be to have to dive underwater & resurface somewhere else. You always see it in films & they look like they’ll run out of air. Or they do it on Bushtucker Trials.

I can’t even watch it on tv / a film - gives me such anxiety. It is related to a PTSD issue, so that makes it maybe a bit more understandable, but I’m not sure I could do it, even if my life depended on it. Obviously, I’d have to try... 😬

What, if anything, would you struggle with?

Yes to the anything requiring upper body strength.

On a less lighthearted note, I was watching a documentary the other day about some people who survived the terrorist attack on the Bataclan and one woman was crying talking about how everyone climbed into a hole in the ceiling to escape but she couldn't do it. Other people did push and pull her up in the end but she thought she was going to die because she had no strength in her arms and I really felt for her. That would be me in that situation.

On the other hand, I can eat almost anything, I reckon. I've eaten a witchetty grub voluntarily. In a starvation situation I'd have no qualms. I'd see off one of my own cats if I was just a bit peckish to be honest.

@madambee I don't know! Let's try it and see if I vaporise whilst deleting!

@madambee Don't worry. I'd only eat the horrible cat. The nice one can stay.
