I'm thinking...they keep calling for thundershowers but they just pass on by and leave the mugginess instead.

Does anyone have a phobia of driving or am I the only crazy person out there? It really is a hardship not to drive, but if I try to get behind the wheel my heart starts pounding, I start crying and shaking and just can't do it. I have never been in a car wreck so I have no idea where this comes from!!!



I used to have that fear, and sometimes it comes back to haunt me, but in the past two years I have had to do all my own driving, so no you are not crazy, I have been rear ended twice, just need to get back up on that horse and ride:smile:


I've tried but only gets worse. It is horrible to be dependent on someone else to go to the store and even worse when they bit** at you to get off your butt and drive.....if it were that easy I would!


This phobia is more common than you might expect. I know two people who will never drive on an expressway with one of them avoiding left hand turns since she was t-boned. I don't think it is an easy one to overcome unless you head down to one of the NASCAR driving camps.

Oh I am liking your wit, very good. Iowa is lucky to have you.


Thanks flowerforyou Tim is from Iowa too.
Where are you from Chris?


Toronto. I love it here right along lake Ontario.


Our good friend Betty is a Canadian too. She is on a cruise (lucky girl) right now and will be back tomorrow.

Years ago I used to live on the Canadian Boarder on Lake of the Woods. Loved it there but had to move back to Iowa because of the job situation.


Lake of the Woods, right next to the Minnesota and Manitoba border. God's country with lots of fresh air and elbow room but I can imagine jobs are scarce. I can live pretty much anywhere but have grown accustomed to urban life although I am actually in the suburbs Mississauga (Port Credit area) a beautiful little town right on the lake with a nice marina.

About a 2 hour drive max. It's a wonderful little city. Great Mennonite community in the area offering their fresh farm products to the masses.

Not as sweet as "Jayne, The angels danced the day you were born. Happy Birthday friend!!" Very nice words.

Wow, and to think the angels wept the day I was forced out.

AND, it's someone's birthday? I posted this earlier for Ruth but this is for Jayne too.

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.

Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.

We turn not older with years, but newer every day.

One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.
