Grandma is under the mistaken impression that I don't really have fear. That's what love does, I guess. I think it's because she has a really strong instinct to stay alive, and I don't particularly fear death and have demonstrated it on several occasions to her discomfiture.

I do fear disability. Not sure it will ever happen, but I can't stand the thought of being dependent on others.

Spiders, snakes, bats, rats, meh. Part of the natural order of things. In fact, spiders eat mosquitoes, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Eyes. Can't stand things near my narrowed beadies. The thought, for instance, of having contacts to put on my eyes makes me want to crawl out of my own skin.

that dollhouse at the end of the street
I am scared of unleashed dogs that I do not know. I am afraid of losing my family members. Tornadoes scare me. Bugs do not scare me since I started to take celexa. I had a huge phobia about them...would hardly go outside in the summer. Now bring em on!!!

EXACTLY ! All those things. I am super terrified of spiders, but I try not to kill them if possible ('If you wish to live and thrive, let the spider run alive'.) but I so will if they show up and make me scream! I try to capture them though :icon_eek: and 'put them out' . I saved an ant the other day. He mysteriously showed up on a tissue when I was doing my nails, and he looked, drunken and distraught from the nail polish remover fumes, and I carefully transported him to the window sill, I hope he made it, I still don't know where he came from poor little guy!

this is my spider Mattie .....

....my first post was done in my usual flippant way, but after some consideration I would say these:
-loss of my wife and family
-dementia, I will remove my self from the world if I ever start noticing the onset
-and, my voice....I was gifted with a strong and deep set of pipes and I would be horrified at dealing with life without it.....

Oh, my. Such differences. On the bike, that's where I get my peace of mind back. It's not half bad in the Little Red Beast, either.

You seriously need to read Neil Peart's travel books. He rides his BMW bike between shows in the U.S., Canada, Europe and South America (or did, rather :() and writes about it. He also likes to drive his cars on these "interesting roads" - his term. He's a shunpiker, too. I suggest you begin with Far and Away:

Far and Away: A Prize Every Time - Kindle edition by Neil Peart. Arts & Photography Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

My favorite place to be. ZOOOOMMMMM!

Remind me never to drive to the Stanley Hotel with you :p
