Status: offline 		I'm not too afraid of jumping into water, from a reasonable height of course, like a pool deck.
However, the silliest fear I have is water related. I am terrified of overflowing toilets.
Maybe one day, someone will hynpotize me and I'll discover where this came from.

Status: offline 		The exploding toilet. Sigh. SO much practice in that area.

My irrational fear: being trapped in a car in water. Living in an area where there are many lakes near roads, I have it under control, but it's one of those things I had to develop a Strategy for.

Laughing, true... but I find that a lot of times, people get in the way of what they seek. Not that I would know shit about that. Nope. Not at all.

Not irrational at all. I live close to a lot of canals. The "guard rails" work if the vehicle is crawling at a snail's pace. Every week there's news reports about cars in the canals here.

I have a fear of tunnels and bridges. My ex-husband knew that, and still decided to take a scenic route north from Fla to NY. Yuppers: the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel/Bridge route. And it was shortly before a tropical storm hit. Water sloshing on the roadway, made for a white knuckle ride. (Did I mention I had major cramps & was nauseous to start?) There's a reason there's an "ex" in front of husband.

Florida has also increased my fear of spiders.







ETA: One of about 40 spiders "hanging around the mall here. I think it's a golden orb spider? Ickles.

Oh yeah...that too. Love love love the beach. Like wading my feet in the water. Otherwise I hate oceans, lakes, ponds.

Going blind (So far 4 people by the age of 50 in my family...)
Alzheimer's (I've watched 3 relatives "live" with it and it's horrific.)
Not being able to get home in time when my grandpa passes away.

You can cut the head of a cockroach and it will still live around 2 weeks till death from starvation!

Status: offline 		Swimming in deep, deep water.

I can do "out of my depth" type water... I can do any water where I can see the bottom, I can even do water that's pretty deep. But a couple of years ago I was sailing with a bunch of pals from Lisbon in Portugal to the UK - which took us across the bay of Biscay, and we were well out of sight of land when the wind died - Lovely hot day, so we all decided to go for a swim. I was ok for a bit, but then the sensation that there was a mile of water between me and the bottom began to feel very very weird.

Status: offline 		An irrational fear of mine is tripping and not being able to stop myself from smashing my teeth out on pavement. Well, maybe it's a healthy fear, but I don't know why I think about it relatively often. Eww!
