Things that Scare Me


This is one of those blogs that can be a work in progress. I was in my thinking room this morning after two cups of coffee and thought it would be cool to collect a list of things that scare you. It could be a bear at your door or a tornado coming down your street or as my case this morning something as simple as after having done my business having the water in the toilet rise after I flush instead of going down. Not to worry here, it did reverse direction and go down but for a moment there I was scared and really didn't want to have to deal with the aftermath. Scariness comes in many forms, it could be a flat tire on the freeway, locking your keys in the car at the food store mid summer while holding a bag of ice cream, having your granddaughter hide amongst a clothing rack in a store while shopping or yes, even coming up on a traffic jam on the freeway after two cups of coffee and a bran muffin. Often I don't worry so much about the event but rather what I will have to deal with as a result. I'm sure you got some visuals as I made my small list so you know what I mean. A month or so ago I had to go to the hospital with double vision. At first, I knew I had to be at the emergency room to deal with this but as the evening wore on it became apparent I was going to be admitted and there it was! Hospital gowns!!! Hows that for an image? I'd rather pretend I was French Canadian wearing only a Speedo on the Jersey beach than wear those reverse access gowns. Why do they make them that way? Most of the time doctors have always worked on the front of my body so wouldn't it make sense to have the front open up. If you were at the Proctological Institute of Boise Idaho, You would want these reverse gowns. Why the hell do we have to wear gowns anyway? How about some nice paper pajamas. Any way, If you have your own list of scares, please feel free to comment. Please try to keep it clean and be aware of others who may be reading or posting. I'm going to go make a recreational flush just to ease my mind.

Mine is being alone in the car with the kids with out my cell phone and the tire goes out or something and I have to walk in the scary dark by myself with them to get some help or to a phone. I am mnot talking about the interstate here but some random road not very traveled and not known to myself. I think this fear is the reason I still keep a cell phone.

I actually have a lot of these fears, but I am more of a paranoid person.
I have tackled the toilet rising fear - even in other peoples houses or at public places. having the kids I have learned that most toilets have a plunger nearby and if you grab it fast - the blow over will be minimal.
Also another big one is me out walking and a random dog approaching....there are some creepy dogs out there. Mostly when I walk by MaryAnne's.

I could go on but I will stop here considering I just left a huge comment.
