Have you ever been scuba diving?
I haven’t been scuba diving or bungee jumping, I have been skydiving. I jumped out of a plane when I was 21 years old. It was a tandem jump, which was a good thing because I panicked a bit and the instructor had to pull the cord to release the parachute. That was the last time that I felt like skydiving would be a fun idea!

I’m a cat person who lives with a big and furry dog! Our family recently adopted a golden retriever. He’s sweet and cuddly and lovely…the only problem? He doesn’t purr!
