fear and flying.
my middle brother is nearly 30 and has never been on a plane before. he's also got some anxiety issues. and... he's flying for the first time next week!
naturally this is all he can talk about. he's sure he'll die--not from a crash, or terrorists--but from the flight itself. he keeps asking if it's like a rollercoaster. he hates rollercoasters. I tell him it's not that bad, and there are barf bags in the back of the seat in front of him. he asks why he'd need a barf bag if it's not that bad. I don't know what he wants to hear.
