Is your new avatar a toilet lid with something on top of it?  I thought it might be since you have been renovating a bathroom. 

Okay, now here is the part where you tell me what it really is and we either all laugh because I got it right or because you can't believe I thought that's what it was.

My fear: public humiliation but we're amongst friends ;+)  ~Gigi

So true. :D

I fell once before outside of church and was embarrased but I told myself basically who cares. LOL! One thing's for sure: I'm not wearing a freaking looong skirt again, lol!

ROFLMAO!

Actually it's a shot of oncoming traffic on Interstate 70 during near-blizzard conditions that eventually shut down the freeway at Vail Pass and the Eisenhower Tunnel and caused me to spend an extra night away from home over the turkey-day weekend. We were lucky enough to get a motel room for the night at least.

Toilet lid....... heh heh heh....... that'd be mighty cold on the ol' cheeks!

i am terrified of snakes,cant be anywhere around them.

Hi Jasyjen

You are definetley not the only one with a strange fear or phobia. I am absolutely terrified of SPIDERS :(

and closed in spaces.......

I have so many fears or phobias that it's ridiculous.  I'm a worrisome person, by nature. I blame my Grandmother....she's ruined us all by teaching us "The Gift of Fear"!

Traveling in general - I leave for NYC on Sunday and I am SCARED TO DEATH of going there!
THe Unknown - type A here. I need to know everything, in advance down to the tinest detail. I do not like not knowing what comes next.
Snakes - Seriously....they totally freak me out, even on television. 
Something happening to my kids - I tend to take this overboard. I always think the worst..it's ridiculous. 

Maybe I should go on Dr. Phil?

I forgot to mention:

Public toilets
HEIGHTS!
Being Carjacked - isn't that weird. I think about it everytime I get into my car and quickly lock my doors.

 

Ok..I'll stop there.    I'm sending my letter to Dr. Phil now. :)

OHhhhhhhhh cotton....ugh..I can't handle it either.  Cotton balls are like nails on a chalk board to me. I HATE hot towels out of the dryer for that reason.

 

My toes are curling thinking of cotton.......

Whoa! So I guess you don't wanna touch my afro. :P

Kidding.

That reminds me: When I was in 7th or 8th grade we were visiting a friend's church and I fell down a spiral staircase.  I have been afraid of them since.

The slumber party that we played all the games at--remember my Truth or Dare question that Mike asked me?  i lost my skirts on several occasions.

So, maybe a fear of losing your clothes in public--aaghhh!! 

Thanks for the exlanation--now I can see the picture.  Sorry you had to be away from home an extra day but so glad you finally made it home safe!

By the way: I don't know what ROFLMAO means but I think someone else used it on a board.

I think I posted something similar to yours when I first posted on this board.  My family and friends think it is outrageous how many fears I have.  Most of them stem from bad experiences: being bitten by a Doberman, getting a granddaddy long leg stuck in my ear (yes, that happened to me), and this summer just weeks before I joined Viewpoints I got bit by a king or coral snake twice!!

But I do love cotton balls for taking off nail polish and just the other week I was at my best friend's house for Thanksgiving.  She took a load of towels out of the dryer.  I was lying on her bed watching TV and she came in and threw them all on me.  I am very cold natured and was all curled up like I was cold.  Ahhh...it was so hot and felt great. I just pulled them all up to me!  She said, "I thought you would like that."  I wouldn't let her fold any of them until they were no longer warm.

Maybe you and I should both be on Dr. Phil ;+)  R11 no comments.  LOL 

You can find someone better than Dr. Phil. :)

Eew yeah public toilets are gross.

ROFLMAO = Rolling On the Floor Laughing My @$$ Off

(It's okay, I was laughing with ya not at ya.) d;-)

LOL LOL! If you read a couple pages previous, you'll see that I also have a cottonphobia! Haha! Mine is mostly of the cotton inside the pill bottles. *shivvvverr*

Afraid of cotton?  That is TOO funny! 

I'm afraid of germs.  I think about them so much, I think I feel them crawling on me after I've touched a grocery cart.  It's disgusting!

I'm proud to say that I'm facing one of my biggest fears and I drove myself to the play every night this last weekend! . . . Nows time for more practice and eventually (preferably within the next 4 months because my permit expires in March -which woud be for the 6th time, if I let that happen!) get my DL!!!

My only huge fear is flying.  I used to be fine with it, but after watching the 5 minute crash scene of Castaway, I've never been the same when it comes to flying.  Hooray for Xanax and in-flight drinks.

I am also starting to develop quite a fear of the house catching on fire while I'm at work.  I won't leave lights on, humidifiers running, fans running, and I am starting to get nervous about the CrockPot.
