Any phobias???

BUT.. I found out the hard way that.. I don't like to be dangled via straps over extreme heights. That freaked me out unexpectedly... so it must have something to do with being suspended by ropes.. while being in something or on something even if amazingly narrow is perfectly fine.

Go Figure.

Maybe I need to skydive a few times. I've always wanted to do that...

I used to love to go rappelling, had all the gear and everything. I started loving it when I was in the Army and got to jump out of helicopters! With that said, though - I think it takes a "special" person that wants to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. hdeheeee

snakes, spiders, scorpions, rats and mice can be pets.

Ah yes. There's nothing like sitting by the fireplace on a cold winter's night with a good book and your faithful scorpion curled up at your feet.

tight spaces and not being able to see out...jam packed elevators (several would laugh at me during youth conference on the elevators...my eyes where shut, up against the wall breathing deeply...) I'm ok if I can see out (I'm good in elevators where I see outside or the hotel...I'm good) and I'm ok if a lot of people are standing around me and I'm outside...b/c I can look up...

ok...but the one that I get everyone laughing at me over...

I absolutely HATE...HATE...HATE!!! having my blood pressure taken...(or people grabbing my arms...I've come swinging at people when they've grabbed my arm)...HATE it...dear sweat passion HATE it...

you can stab me all day long with needles...but don't take my blood pressure...you can't get an acurate (sp?) reading b/c I'm stressed out over it...I've hated it since I can remember...ugh...

HATE IT!!!

I had a couple scorpions as pets when I lived in the death valley area. they aren't like a puppy as a pet, obviously, but like a mouse or gerbil, can be loads of fun to watch in their cage, and pick up from time to time to enjoy their calming presence. (not all scorpions are "strikers", and only some are poisonous to any degree - like pitbulls, they get an "undeserved" bad rap/rep).

Next time, have them try taking it on your leg. Unless you have an equal aversion to your legs being squeezed? Seriously though, they can get just as accurate reading by putting it on your lower leg. They take infants' blood pressure that way all the time.

I was suprised when I moved to Cleveland for a few years and found there were scorpions there.

The neighbor even found one in her bed.
