Re: What are some things that you fear?

Bats, have had 6 in my house (not at the same time)

I HATE THEM

Had a bat walk (yes, they walk) across the floor while eating dinner, I screamed "a mouse"...my husband said "no, it's a bat" & it then flew in the air OMG, I never left that room so fast

I don't like heights, bridges frightened me since I was a little girl. I lived in New York and whenever we went to New Jersey to visit relatives and my father would start to approach the bridge, I would tell him to please stay on the inside lane, the outside lane terrified me.

Narrow curvy mountain roads. Being held down and not able to move or get away. I have had three back surgeries, the last one lasting nine hours. I have been in chronic pain ever since and whenever I see a doctor I have the fear of being told I need another back surgery...not going to happen!!

I think we all have a number of fears, it is quite natural.

O/T here but I remember seeing the sign "Bill Miller's Riviera" on the hill, from the George Washington Bridge. It used to be "Ben Marden's Riviera". It was the club that Sinatra and the rat pack performed in too...... It was on the way from NY to NJ, about halfway across the bridge.

Re: What are some things that you fear?

Any flying insect that can sting, as well as spiders. I'm very allergic.

Heights.

Water; I can't swim.

Walking down a very steep hill.

Another holocaust.

Riding an elevator alone.

Driving on icy roads.

And so many more...
