What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

Once, in 2020, I “found” a plane ticket to the Virgin Islands after meeting a man on a certain website I used to frequent. We met briefly on video chat, then I was emailed a one-way plane ticket to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. I went, stayed for two days, then flew home.

Later, in 2024, I spoke with the FBI, and I learned this man was being investigated by the FBI for “trafficking.” My blood ran cold.

      Haha thank you!! I really, really appreciate it. You are so kind! Yes, it literally did. Thank you so much! 🙂 okay, the second craziest thing I have ever done was cliff jump off of a 50 ft cliff!! Sheer rock face. I landed in a lake below it, safely. I was 16.

      Also when I was 16, another crazy thing I did multiple times was drive at speeds up to 100 mph on my town’s long rural roads. And, guess what? One time, I clipped a guide wire, and my parents’ tiny car rolled multiple times. After the car finished rolling, flight-for-life took me to the hospital. I was in a coma for 7 weeks, and relearning everything in the hospital for 120 days total.

      Thank you for asking about the second-craziest thing! 🙂 what are the craziest and second craziest things you’ve ever done?

    Okay how did you “find” the plane ticket and what happened that the FBI came to your door? Like so many details in-between those two events

      Lmao! Ok. Well, the plane ticket was purchased by my “friend,” and I flew from my home in the American Midwest to the Virgin Islands to meet him. Once he saw how I walked, he sent me back after two days. This “friend” was the exact same person the FBI was asking me questions about 4 years later. Does that make sense?

      The FBI only called me and left a message. It was only when I called back that I heard the word “trafficking.”

      So basically, I think I might have almost been sex trafficked, but my disability saved me! Isn’t that wild? Thank you for asking!!

      Do you have any other questions? Lmk! This is fun.
