Heights. No doubt. I lose my stomach, feel dizzy and just cannot do it - even standing just on a chair...  Swimming at night. Ever since I saw the movie Jaws. I've never gotten over it. LOL! But, it's a real fear. Even with others. I'm always looking out in the distance for a fin.  Shalom!

Tornados are moved out now. We had warnings but no touchdowns. I have such a terrible fear of them because when I was a kid in 74 (telling my age now lol) we lived in a mobile home park. A big tornado came thru that year we were home. Demolished most the trailors in that park and there were alot of them. Many died I knew alot of the kids that died and the parents to. The man next door..kept going from his home to his car like he couldn't make up his mind I cannot remember which it was now but he got in one and the tornado took the other. According to mom so many were home because by the time we were warned the tornados were in the area and it was to late to leave.

I've never swam at night, but then I've never lived by the sea. Oh I'd NEVER skinny-dip! I HATE being naked! I'm a right prude! I'd wear a swimming costume in the shower if it didn't sound so dorky! lol But swimming in the rain sounds lovely! I used to travel a lot, the first thing I'd always ask was 'are there jellyfish or sharks in this sea?' Jellyfish scare the cr*p out of me. I heard about this jellyfish called something that sounds like irikuda or iranuba or iruku something like that, sounds Japanese to me ... Apparently it's AGONY! the pain was compared to a thousand million times worse than giving birth. Don't fancy that much! It's supposedly the size of a thimble but it's tentacle stretch out for metres. Yuck! Jellyfish! Waaay scared of jellyfish!

lmao Jane! you know till the age of 26 i could drop into the splits during a Karate class or put my legs behinde my head but about 3 days after my 26th birthday I couldn't do it anymore! I never expected to get old this quick! These last 10 years have just FLOWN by! I was in a taxi recently with my mum and she said 'oh only another 4 years till the BIG birthday!' I saw the taxi driver looking at me sideways and I was trying to look all young and hope he might think she meant 30 and I was 26 but he just grinned at me and said 'so 40 in 4 years eh you're 36 then?' Ooooh that hurt! lol, I hate looking my age!

Ouch! So have the clerks in stores started calling you "Ma'am" instead of "Miss" yet? (That started about 5 years ago for me.) The big "FOUR-OH" quickly approaches.... And I think you look beautiful, Spacegirl--not even close to 40! That one pic of you & your bf is so sweet! |

No but I certainly don't get the 'male-attention' that I used to have 10 years ago! I used to feel irritated that men were constantly trying to chat me up but these days I'm the one who is saying 'oooh look at her! she'll catch her death of cold dressed like that!' and thinking 'Jeez I'm old enough to be her mother!'

I dunno Jane. I'm not really scared of tumours. Guess I would be if I had personal experience but I've been lucky this far. So far haven't lost a loved one this way. apart from rats and a dog but thankfully not while they were young. Lung cancer, as a smoker then that certainly scares me! I hope to quit before then... Well I hope so... Oh and Liver cancer or Liver Cirhhosis. They scare me too...

We lost a wonderful friend to liver cancer a few years ago. It was awful but I felt happy that I could be with her in her final days. She had medication to control the pain and I'd just started a new job, they kept trying to send me home but I wanted to give her time alone with her husband before seeing her. I'm sure that she could hear us and knew that we were there. We have a hole in our lives now as she isn't here but as wierd as this sounds it felt 'good' in a wierd way to give her water and kiss her and hug her and tell her constantly 'we're right here'.

I think it's healing in a way to be able to nurture someone when they're near their end. I felt the same with my grandmother in the week before she died. I am glad to have been there through that week. OH, yes--liver cirrhosis and cancer. UGH. I'd have to say that is a serious fear. But I know the liver is supposed to be resiliant and able to regenerate, given proper care. All the more reason to stay sober! |
