So, Betty, can you take a bath without fear, or do you have to take showers?
Did something happen when you were small?

Doing pretty good.
Boy, the sky is getting REALLY dark.....I better check the weather channel!

You getting another storm ...Tim has a BFF!:wink:


Weird....they said bad storms tomorrow night..... nothing til then...the sky sure looks different...oh well

Are you afraid of storms Mary?


Heavens no....been in lots of tornadoes too. Not too much scares me except driving. I have a honest to God phobia with driving and cannot do it. I did when I was young, then one day couldn't. Don't know why...never been in an accident, however, when I was 13, I was hit by a car and spent a month in the hospital. Weird....it is a REAL handicap, believe me!

Maybe you are afraid of all the maniacs behind the wheel these days.


Could be. I can't breathe, I shake and cry...a real phobia. I feel like such a weird-o and ashamed that I cannot conquer it! I DO NOT like to be dependent on someone just to go somewhere...it is VERY isolating!!!

Wow Mary
something must have happened that you have blocked out of your memory.
I am like that very thing in a lake or even a pool.I can be around or on the water but I can't be in it.
I would love to take water arobics but Iam terrified of the water.
When people invite me to a pool party I always decline unless I know they are the type that won't bug me about it.


Isn't the mind an interesting thing? I asked people if something happened and they said no...just can't figure it out! I tried and tried, just can't do it. Makes me sooooooo uncomfortable when people almost get ugly telling me to get off my a## and do it....they just don't understand. I do not bug people to take me places either....I only get grocies once a month even.

It really is. people should just leave you alone about it. Their nagging doesn't do anything to help. People have been bugging me all my life about what I'm missing.I choose to miss it so leave me the H...alone . It.s my business not theirs. I think it makes them feel superior or something.
Well you get around pretty good with all you've done with school and work :)

It was horrible for her. A coworker thought she was cute and poured a whole bag of cotton balls in her desk drawer so when she opened it, they would tumble out....she almost had a heart attack....it wasn't that funny to me! Poor girl!

Oh yeah Baths don't bother me .Its large or deep bodies of water that I cannot go in.
Yes there were a few things at my uncles cottage involving the lake that happened when I was little. I still have nightmares sometimes all these years later.

No it isn't and I shouldn't have joked about it.I am really sorry .
The Peter cottontail may not have been far off though if something about that fairytale frightened here. Or maybe it had to do with a doctor ..who knows but it is sad.

No it doesn't. Adults should always remember that little eyes, ears, and hearts take in EVERYTHING and to be careful at what you say and do.

You are so right there Mary.
My kids were terrified about the tooth Fairy putting money under their pillow. I had to revamp that whole thing .put their little tooth in an envelope in the mailbox outside and when they woke up their would be money in the envelope. That way the fairy never came in the house which freaked the heck out of them.
