Killer Questions - What is the Most Daring Thing You've Ever Done?

Killer Questions – What is the Most Daring Thing You’ve Ever Done?

Molly MacRae - Forty-seven years ago I said I do thinking I really understood what that meant. Yikes. But so far so good.

Shari Randall - On reflection...I'm not daring. Nope. I've got nothing.

Mary Dutta - Left my sleepy suburb to attend college in New York City back when it was way more gritty and not so disneyfied. It’s still my favorite place. 

Nancy Eady - Seriously?  I am a rule follower, so I think ignoring the lines in an empty parking lot to drive wherever I want to is pretty daring.  That being said, adopting our daughter was the most daring thing we ever did, because we adopted her from the state and for the first year we had her, there was no guarantee that we would actually be allowed to keep her. 

Korina Moss - Decide to pursue a writing career.

Margaret S. Hamilton - Hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt

Lori Roberts Herbst - The most obvious answers would be the physical ones: riding in a hot air balloon or taking a helicopter to a glacier for a dog sledding excursion. But the more truthful answer would have to be raising children!

Kait Carson - This is so not a good question to ask me. There have been too many. The first I remember was jumping out of a second-story window when I was seven because I’d watched a Rescue 8 (a very old TV show) where that happened. The look on my mother’s face when I rang the front doorbell. Priceless. I was unharmed. 

Annette Dashofy - This question makes me realize what a tame life I’ve lived. I had some rather dangerous experiences while riding my horse out in the wilderness including once when I found myself riding along a very rocky and narrow ledge with a steep drop on one side and a rock face on the other. When we reached the top, there was a sign stating no horses on that trail. I really wished they’d put one of those signs at the bottom too! FYI, I’m terrified of heights.

Sarah Burr - It’s a toss-up between ziplining 800 feet above a Jamaican jungle or climbing down into one of the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Debra H. Goldstein – Getting up in the morning.

James M. Jackson - There's a fine line between daring and stupid and I think this crosses: I used to see how fast I could go downhill on my road bike. I no longer remember my "record," but it was way faster than was safe. A cop pulled me over for speeding one time in a 35 mph zone.

Paula G. Benson - I’ve kissed a camel. His name is Abraham and he is now 28 years old. I placed a cookie between my teeth. He gently took it from me, pressing his lips against mine briefly.  I have to admit, he’s a pretty good kisser.

Grace Topping - Committing three years of my life by signing on the dotted line and taking an oath of allegiance to join the U. S. Navy. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I decided to chance it. If I found it wasn't for me, it was only three years. Little did I know that I would end up loving it and serve seven years.

Connie Berry - Besides think I could write a book? Seriously, the most daring (foolish?) thing I ever did was climb out on the slippery slate roof of a Scottish country house...with acrophobia.

Martha Reed - In my twenties I lived solo in Texas for a decade and raised and trained Arabian horses. I’m amazed I survived that time in my life. Last year I also traveled solo through Greece. Same party, different location. Evidently, it’s part of my nature. I don’t plan on changing.

Heather Weidner - Once as a team-building exercise at work, we did a ropes and initiatives course. It was hundreds of feet above the ground, and I’m terrified of heights. 

K.M. Rockwood - Daring or foolhardy? Accompanying a fairly new boyfriend on a multi-day, multi-state “run” with a bike club (read motorcycle gang.)
