Most people say that they would do just about anything for a cool million. Is there anything that you wouldn't do? Obviously no one would become a pedophile or do other cruel things. I am talking about seemingly normal thing.

I would never eat live bugs. My gag reflex wouldn't allow it.

I would never eat anything disgusting and I would never be in a room with a clown. (I know it seems stupid but I literally have a phobia of them)

Wow, that's a serious phobia. I don't know that I have any phobias like that.

I also would never go to California for $1 mil. I know this will sound weird and everyone mistakes it for a phobia or an irrational fear, but I just have this gut instinct that if I go to CA I will die in an earthquake. I am not afraid of earthquakes and this does not originate from fear in any way, it's just how I feel. I have a lot of stories to back this up, but it takes too long to type.

Yeah it's a real phobia and I've actually ended up in the hospital before over a panic attack from a clown

And wow that is crazy about Cali but I do understand the gut instinct part... if you ever do decide to go warn me first so I'm not there as well

I would never crawl through a crawl space under a house or any other small space. I would have a horrible panic attack.

There's allot of things I wouldn't do honestly.... but besides the obvious ones of negative nature that would harm my family or my self in any way physically or emotionally.

Heights, I wouldn't do any stunts requiring extreme heights. My heart would explode from the panic.

I wouldn't be a room full of spiders. I am so scared of spiders. I wouldn't do anything that has to do with heights.

Like Celena said, aside from the obvious stuff (like I wouldn't cheat on my husband, I wouldn't kill our dogs, duh)... Ummmm... I wouldn't re-enlist in the Marines... The military is great for some people but it was SO not great for me. I would join the Air Force though

I wouldn't give up TTC. I wouldn't make up with my mother.

Definitely NO on bungee jumping or parachuting. And the spiders too. For 100 million dollars, I'd consider the spiders. Maybe.

well i have a phobia of mirrors in a dark room, spiders, heights, clowns, and just the dark period so i would def not do any of those things.

Def will not do anything about eating nasty nothing period.

and the obvious wouldnt cheat on my husband or leave my family or things like that.

I would just do stuff for the heck of it, million dollars or not.
but anything that harms or shames my family is out of the question.
You've gotta try everything once!

Erin and Katie - I am totally afraid of heights. I almost did not live in the building I do now because the only open spaces at the time were on the 12th and 14th floors. I went up there once and it was wayyyyy to high for me. I actually moved in here a month early so I could get a place lower.

Yeah, totally not worth it. Plus that is probably about how much we have spent on pee sticks anyway.
