have you ever had your breath taken away?

Question

By something you have seen? Like the Grand Canyon or the pyramids, anything natural or man-made?

Answer 1

The day I turned around and saw my "Bride to be" standing next to me in the church.
She looked absolutely amazing and I couldn't breath for about 15 seconds!
She was really stunning!

Answer 2

Yes I have. When I was about 9yrs old I did. My brother Steven and I were riding on the sidewalk and I didn't know what side to go on, so we both hit and the next thing I knew was that I woke up and I was 3 houses away from where we hit. When I woke up I was l lying on part of the sidewalk and on someone's yard. They told me that I had a bloody nose. Then when I moved my body was very numb. My bones were hurting very bad. I felt like I was a rady doll. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me. My e-mail is lil_samiam101@ yahoo.com.

Sincerely,

Oonaab lake. In namibia, south africa,theres a little town called Rehaboth. Its a very poor slum town, with shacks, and living conditions most people cant imagin. That takes your breath away, but in contrast, just a 10 minutes drive away is a lake resort in the hills, a beautiful crystal clear lake, with several beatifully designed houses on the side. The contrast between these two places are breath taking, and gave me a tear in my eye after seeing the poverty stricken town of rehaboth. There is no way to describe it properly, you would have to experience it for yourself.

plus, they do a mighty fine beer, chilled, sweet, and only 30 pence each...

Answer 4

Yessssss The Great Wall of China, its awesome, I have seen pictures of it, but NOTHING beats it being there, the scenery is fantastic, the people are gorgeous, polite and helpful. The whole culture is something else, read up on your history before you go, the place is steeped in history1 You just got to go there if you have the chance. I blew me away!

I would love to make it up the Yellow River next!

Answer 5

I got choked on a piece of meat one time, does that count, actually the first time I saw the Great Smokey Mountains, there is a peace there that I've never found anywhere else, it is serene & beautiful, I liked climbing to the highest point & just sitting there for hours, looking at the greatness of this place.

Answer 6

If someone pushed me into the Grand Canyon that would probably do the trick.

Answer 7

Yes by my mate Robin's vegetarian farts.

Only joking, flew over the Grand canyon once and was stunned by the site.

Answer 8

I had my breath taken away when my Wife gave birth to my two children. Both times, I was so amazed at the little people coming into this world, and it was all my fault, that I almost passed out.

Answer 9

yes I came home and my boyfriend had decorated parts of the the house, fixed the loose hinges on the doors and put the shelves up I wanted in the kitchen.
