Isnt that a Frank Sinatra song? Anyhow, at 9:10 Tuesday December 22 2009 I will be getting on a plane. ("I'm leaving on a jet plane, dont know when I'll be back again.") I thouight I was ready for this and was feeling pretty good when my wife, trying to be nice, spent some extra $$$ so I could get a seat with extra room. I'm not sure why but that kind of threw me for a loop. Not a big one but one that started me thinking. You know the ones, "if my wife doesnt think I can do this why do I?" "Man, I really must be weak." Again I know she was only truying to be nice, and she does have a good reason for doing that. You see, 10+ years ago, when all this depression and anxiety crap started I was feeling really closed in when we were flying home. This person in front of put her seat back down and it felt like it was on my lap. So, I kind a slammed my fist against the back of her chair as hard as I could and then went to the bathroom. I have been on much longer flights since then AND even the same flight. (obviously not the same, same flight. I havent mastered time travel..... YET!!) have had no problems what-so-ever, at least not like that. I still get the closed in feeling but have since been on meds and seem to be able to handle it better. So then, why now? Is it because she paid extra to ease the pressure on me? Is it because she spent $$ on me we dont have? Is it because if I say "echo" over and over again in my head i will feel like it is really empty and echoing? Sorry! I have the feeling that it is everything put together and I just feel like it may all happen again. I know it wont and I have everything under control. I know that it is just another trip and it hasnt been that bad the last couple of times I flew.
Sorry I guess I just needed to put it into words so I could see it really isnt a big deal. Thanks for letting me ramble
Come fly with me?

Wildcard !
Before I begin, I need to apologize. I THOUGHT for some reason you were a WOMAN that was whipping snowballs at me LOLOLOLOLOL I'm sorry I accused you of throwing like a girl ! LOLOL
Now to be serious.....it sounds like your wife was just being nice. She doesn't want you to cause a scene again ! It's funny and embarrassing all at the same time. Just don't bring any snowballs on to the plane........or maybe you should....hmmmmmm

Hey Wildcard, I thought you were a woman too, tee hee.
I think I'd be absolutely thrilled if my hubster got me a bigger seat. You see, I'm 6'0 with a 36" inseam and I feel super crammed in on flights too. I have to sit in the aisle, which makes it hard if the person in the window seat needs to get out, but I am more comfortable in the aisle.
You already mentioned that you KNOW your wife upgraded you because she loves you and wants to see you comfortable. So take it, and appreciate it. Don't let the wheels keep turning in your brain about this. It is what it is. Be excited about having more room and being more comfortable!

Ok folks now you did it!!!
Manof: 1st off, I never said I threw the snowballs!!! Tsk, tsk, tsk. accussing me of something i didnt do!!! I think in session 5 it asked if you get mad when someone accuses you of doing something you didnt do... in this case it would be YES!!!! lmao! 2nd, I think snowballs on the plane would be a good distraction for everyone. I guess that could be a bad thing though, the pilots might over shoot the airport by about 150 miles.... HAHAHA! The sad thing is, we are flying into Minneapolis AND on Northwest!!! D'OH!!!
Shifrah: This flight is loaded so they are charging extra for the aisle seats and that is where I'm going to be. I have RLS (I think) and so having the extra room really helps when I start "twitching". The reason behiind the "I think" is because after reading some posts on here I wonder if it may be caused by my meds. OH NO!!!! ANOTHER THING TO WORRY ABOUT!!! Sorry, only kidding about worrying about it. I have a problem with the rest of your post..... it reminds me of a song."Don't let the wheels keep turning in your brain about this." "Big wheel keep on turnin' proud mary keep on...."
I think we have a new idea folks. Its a new movie, of course it would have to be a spoof, "Snowballs on Planes". It could star "Snow White" Get it?
