You can ask me about ANYTHING, and I mean it. If I don't have an answer to give you, instead of making something up, I WILL find you somewhere to go where you will be able to find out what you need. My inbox is always open, and you are quite welcome to IM me on AIM. I think thats about all you need to know, but if you've got other questions...well...see above. =)

advice

My brother is getting married next month. He lives in Washington and we have to fly there for the wedding. I am scared to death to fly and I really don't even want to go if I have to. Should I say something to my parents? Should I just go and hope it doesn't crash? HELP!

I was EXTREMELY scared of airplanes the first time I went on one, too. But honestly, now every time I see an airplane up in the sky I wish I was on it, I loved flying so much. I would go, because its a very important day for your brother. To help get over your fears of flying, REMEMBER that THOUSDANDS of flights go out a day, and one crashes maybe every 6 months, IF that. I'll let you do the math. ;) Also, airports nowadays are very busy, because of security and such. Keep yourself wrapped up in what you need to do next. Like, "Now I need to go pick up my ticket." "now I need to go through the first wave of security." OKay now I need to go check my luggage" and so forth, and then you shouldn't have too much anxiety about flying until time comes that you're sitting on the airplane. But then you take off, and I can almost promise you'll like it. Good luck!
