What Gets Your Heart Racing?

When I first arrived in Vietnam in 1971 there were still nightly B-52 bombings. The first one really started my heart racing because I was alone in my hotel room and had no one to ask what was going on...plus I was too scared to go out of my room. The next day they told me that it was "outgoing" and I had nothing to worry about....so the heart pounding disappeared. Of course, my next question was...what does "incoming" sound like (just in case there was a different sound), and they answered....you'll know it when you hear it. Thank God I never did....that would really have sound the ticker pounding for sure.

Wow, that does sound scary. It must have been quite an experience being in Vietnam at that time in history. I was only 4 years old then, so what I know about Vietnam is through history programmes. I am sure you have many a tale to tell Gifana! Thanks.

WOW!! that must have been intense. My hearts racing just reading this. Thanks

They have to be the worse. I am amazed England football fans don't all have high blood pressure after our recent disasters! Cheers!!

joey, ask Ricardo Pereirathe goalkeeper of my team (Sporting) and the #1 of the Portuguese National Team. He usually has a field day with the English teams....and he likes to score them as well with the winning goal. Don't mean to rub it in but I do like my goalkeeper. Cited from Wikipedia: In the quarterfinals of Euro 2004 against England, Ricardo was one of Portugal's heroes in their win on penalties. With the penalty shootout tied 5-5, he first saved the shot of Darius Vassell. After taking his gloves off, he then scored the deciding penalty against England to send Portugal to the semifinals. Portugal made it to the final but lost against Greece. Portugal only lost the first and last games and they were both against Greece. I add that as a consolation to cheer you up.

Wow, your heart does get a work out. I suppose you will be joining Jimbo and Inked who too like to see England loose. As I'm from the Robertson clan I will not take offense, otherwise my poor heart would be racing now!!LOL

That is so romantic. I wouldn't mind that sort of feeling too. You lucky woman!!:)

It must be wonderful to have that love for someone they make your heart race. It sounds like your heart gets a good work out!!LOL Thanks

Wimbledon is fast approaching, I wish your heart all the best!!!

I know what you mean. I just started a keep fit class and my heart nearly exploded last week!! You do sound dedicated to keeping fit! Thanks.

Hurry please I am beginning to turn blue!!!! :#

Thats romantic. Like Jimbo you do not like to see England win, that makes my heart sink a little. As I am of Scottish and Irish decent I will always cheer them on, unless they are playing England of course!LOL Cheers.

Wish you all the like stiffler. I can say that because I am sure we both don't play the same lotto. Have to admit though, since I have never been too lucky there is no need for me to get worked up about it. I've always said that the day my ship comes in I will either be at the airport and there will be a dock strike. Have a nice day!+

I used to watch F1 when Damon Hill was racing, now that did get my heart racing!! I know what you mean about being a passenger, my partner thinks he's part of the flying squad when he drives! Thanks.
