Do Worms Feel Pressure?

      


DO YOU THINK YOU HANDLE PRESSURE WELL OR DO YOU USUALLY FALL APART? I usually bear up well in crisis situations.  Afterwards, I collapse.  It reminds me of when I used to ski in Utah.  I could ski from the time the lift opened in the morning and race down the mountain trying to get 'just one more run' in before dark and feel great.  But when we went to the car, sat down and took off the ski boots?  It was all over. When I worked for the city of Fort Worth, they had some sort of training conference where one of the workshops was on self defense, and presented by the police department.  One of the officers said something that sticks with me even today:  "You have to decide now what you are going to (or willing to) do in a crisis situation to defend yourself.  Because if you wait to decide until in the crisis, it will be exponentially more difficult to do." *+*+*+*+* 2014 Wormfest!

Kicking off Wormfest week will be the release of Stephen’s third book in the Chase Manhattan trilogy, Escalation.  2014 National Wormhole Week: Name one thing where science advances mankind, and one where technology will go too far and set us back. They can be the same thing or different.  Example: De-extinction or bringing back extinction species through backbreeding, genetic engineering, and cloning. With all the breakthrough discoveries mankind is on the cusp of, are we playing God?  Where do you see science moving us forward and where do you see it moving us back? Feel free to quote a movie. (Jurassic Park is a great example.) Join us below for Wormfest!  If the linky code doesn't show up, just click on the button and go sign up!
