Check out the infinity pool, 55 stories over the city of Singapore. More pics HERE. Holy crapanoli! It scares me silly, but, I reckon I'd have to give it a go if I was there. You KNOW that thing is full of pee. LMAO!

LOL! Fear of heights. I happens on feris wheels too. I took up sky diving to cure it, but, it didn't work. I liked sky diving though.
There is NO way you would get me on the top of that building. Especially at the edge of the pool. No thank you, I'll keep my feet firmly planted on the ground. I think this is a fear my mother planted in me. When I was young I could climb any tree, 12' fence & sit on the top, water towers to the top.. then suddenly I wouldn't go up. There was a bridge in Pittsburgh that spanned two high hills, over the valley road. Dad wanted to drive up the hill and go over the bridge, mother freaked. We went. I kept my eyes closed the entire time. Dear ole mom, she left me with a bunch of phobias. Thanks ma.
I've never liked heights. I remember that as a child, my parents took us to the coast, and we had to walk down the face of a cliff on rickety wooden stairs to the beach. I was scared spitless, and walked backwards crying. I think my parents spanked me for that.
When I went to Europe, I climbed to the top of whatever I could find, kind-of hoping to kill that, too, DD. I remember climbing to the cupola on St. Peter's Basilica and St. Paul's in London. Slippery old circular steps without handrails. Sometimes metal stairs. I wouldn't do it again, but oh, well. Funny how we are motivated to get rid of phobias but it doesn't work.
You would not catch me in that pool. Even looking at the pictures freaks me out a little.
have you seen the pix of the ROLLER COASTERS on top of a hotel in vegas?? one of 'em flies you OVER THE EDGE OF THE BUILDING!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?
"no no spot" picking up michael k's vernacular eh? ;)

you can click on the different rides to see them HANGING OVER THE EDGE OF A VERY TALL BUILDING!!!!!!!!!! WTF?!?!??!?!
Who's Michael K?
They'd have to knock me out to get me any higher than the 5th floor.
Drives my husband nuts when we stay in high rise hotels - he loves heights and I'm practically phobic.
Just looking at the website for that eternity pool was hard.
DD - skydiving?! God (or whom or whatever) bless you. I applaud your courage!
I don't have a fear of heights, I have a fear of falling. I know it's bizzare. If I am in a building I can look down from the window and am fine but would absolutely panic if I were near that pool.
CJ, I was born and raised in Pgh, what bridge are you referring to? That sounds like most of them! Are you from there or were you just passing through?
I don't think no no spot is his. I think I heard it years ago on Roseanne.
he uses no no spot/hole a lot though....i never watched roseanne!
those rides would bother me way more than that pool though.....
Miss Tia---we watched some kind of show on cable last night about the exact rides you are talking about. The hotel is 1100-some feet tall, and the rides are on top. The one that is like an octopus that extends out over the side, and then whirls you in circles, facing downward, and the one that shoots you straight up in the air in about 2 seconds then free-falls down, and then the one that you mentioned that is a roller coaster-type car that zooms out over the edge and down, and then jerks further down. Difficult enough for me to watch on TV, impossible for me to even think about looking at from the top of that hotel.
Isn't Michael K. the guy who runs that celebrity blog? I have to go check the name.
DListed is the name of the site.
He's a funny guy with a nic for all the celeb, basement baby, chicken cutlets..lmao! I do believe Poontang and The Blow are mine though.

MuserMommy ~ I was born/ raised about 100 miles north of the 'burgh. All my mother's relatives lived in the West Mifflin area (where she was born). Before 279 went into downtown we went in on Rt 19. It was McKnight Rd then became East St. Straight down the valley. The bridge was about a mile north of Allegheny General in the north side. Just found an old Pittsburgh city map - think I found the bridge, called the East St Bridge. Had to take some goat path up the side of the hill to get to it from down in the valley.
CJ, thanks for answering me back. West Mifflin eh? I was a Steel Valley Ironman (woman). Right over the hill from there. If you don't want to specify further where north of Pgh that's fine. I used to live in Erie so 79 is very familiar. My sister and her husband went to Edinboro. My husband moved us for work and now I live about an hour or so from a certain famous mom of 8. Wow, what a claim to fame, not.
MuserMommy ~ Currently I'm a little west of Erie. Or as they say 'West County'. Grew up about 40miles south of here. Where/ when did you live in Erie?
My mother was born in Duquesne, when she was about 20 her parents bought a new house in West Mifflin.(testing my memory... Rankin St bridge, Kennywood Blvd, up Grant Ave, left turn onto Vermont Ave. Do you know where I am?) Grandma lived there until the day she died. Remaining relatives are in the Pleasant Hills/ Jefferson Hills area. All my cousins went to TJ.
Why was I thinking you were from Westmoreland County?
CJ, I lived briefy in Erie up near the Millcreek Mall from March 1998 until Feb 2000. Moved there due to my husband's work which is also why we left. I loved living up there. It was one big little town if you know what I mean. We had no family close so that was a drawback. Overall though we enjoyed living there. Still talk about it from time to time. Due to my husband's job he was just there and travels back on occasion. Westmoreland county is a funny mention, I spent my freshman year in college out that way. Came back to Pgh and graduated from a small private women's college. Small world.
I know exactly where you are talking about in Pgh. We just went to see my dad for Fathers Day and went right by there. I don't know if you have been there lately. The old steel mill in Homestead/West Homestead is now "The Waterfront" which is just shopping and restaurants now. My grandfather is rolling is his grave. Both he and my father worked there. I have memories of all those mills. I think they are trying to make the mill where your mother lived a commerical/industrial park.
It is always great to meet someone who also knows that area. I don't keep up with many people from HS and don't go back as much as we or my father would like. Thanks for walking memory lane with me!
MuserMommy ~ I was down that way over Memorial Day for a family picnic. Didn't go the old way. Went straight thru downtown, Liberty tubes then out 51.
One of my uncles (died in the late 70's) use to be the superintendent of USS rolling mill. Can't remember which plant that was. Grandfather had worked in the mills during the depression, but died young of a heart attack. Other uncles were engineers at USS downtown.
Yep, Erie is a small big or big little town. Not a bad place to live unless it's winter and a lake effect storm is blowing across the lake.
Carlow?
CJ, good guess but it's the other one ;) Did you know that the old USX tower downtown is now a UPMC building? Isn't everything nowadays? Now with the mills gone as long as they have been, it's the biggest game in town.
We were on a stretch of 51 to get over to 70 to pick up the turnpike. It's funny how all that is so familiar. Oh the tubes! My husband is more from the part of the state we live in now but Pgh is where we met. He always says about me that you can take the girl out of Pgh, but you can't take Pgh out of the girl!
I tell people about living in Erie and the snow always gets people. How can you live there they ask? There's so much snow. Well yes and no. I spent two winters there and there is a reason the call it dreary Erie. Seemed like the sun never shone. As for the snow, I would actually take it over where I live now. People have no idea here how to drive in it. At least there as long as you stayed off the interstates (my husband drove down around Edinboro, I worked in town) you were fine. Take it easy. The funniest thing was that I don't remember a snow delay let alone a cancellation in that time. Sometimes I miss that time. It was simple and my husband and I were newly married and all on our own. Ah the memories!
MuserMommy ~ Sympathy to your husband. That drive down 79 to the Boro is not fun when it's snowing. I did that drive for three years when I was finishing up my degree several years ago. Ugly in the winter. South County normally gets at least 100" more snow than the lake shore. Yes we do have dreary winters, but last winter we had an amazing amount of sun. Made me wonder if the world was coming to an end.
My kid lives in Phila, they had almost as much snow as Erie last winter. Her comment.. they can't drive in it or plow it down here. I was told by a PennDot plow driver that next winter drivers from the Philly area are coming up here to learn how to plow snow. Our guys go down state to help when bad storms hit.
Didn't realize USX was now UPMC building. A cousin stills works for USX as a dept head in that building.
....small world ;)
