I don't mind bridges... and it seem Mackinac is 12th on the list...I hope to see this one next year

My fears...a tragic death....
Losing any physical independence, slimey creatures as well

Being caught underwater.....I think this stems from a childhood spent in my aunt's pool with my older brothers constantly trying to 'dunk' me.

Ok I had to watch anyway....

....this is why I DON"T like bridges...

I am frightened beyond belief when I get home and realize that I am out of tequila and there is no booze in the blender

Not as much as when I was younger, the dark, arm goes in flicks the light switch before I enter any room. New room, not sure where light switch is, I don't go in period.

My daughter is terrified of clowns.......I never realized the depth of her fear until one night I thought it would be funny to put a clown doll in bed with her while she was asleep.....it wasn't funny.

Here's a website for you Coulrophobics!

Spiders. I am terrified of them......I don't even like to see a picture of one.

My other weird fear is being lost. I hate not knowing where I'm going......I think it's just that feeling of not being in control. Hubby and I were in Toronto once and got kind of turned around--I was freaking out. I just kept thinking about how we were in this big city in a different country and I had no idea where we were.........I hated it.

I fear that stupid people really will take over the world. Lord knows, they're already winning.

Ahahahaha...I've seen that one, many times.

No fear in a car. only motorcycle. I guess the Corpus bridge was the tallest on the m/c. And we had no warning. It was just there, no turning back, we had to navigate it.

Non-poisonous snakes don't bother me, in the least. I'v handled several Ball pythons, very docile. I have a young Corn snake now, but had one 5 ft. long for several years, raised from a baby.

I've heard that they have already taken over certain places in society.

I'm scared of the fact there will probably never be a HOOTERS restaurant built in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area.

It wouldn't work.
There's a lot of prudes here who'd hire the travelling rent-a-mob crowd to stand around with their friggin' signs to get it stopped.
You'd think those morons have enough to do following President Bush around the country with their b*tching & whining, but no, they'll find the "protest-du-jour", and show up with their pre-made signs.
We're talking a G.D. HOOTERS RESTAURANT, for Christ's sake.

The closest one in in the Quad Cities, just under an hour away.
So every so often at work, I make up a reason to my boss to have to go to Davenport or Rock Island for "business."

and he always responds in kind by authorizing our budget office to pay me for my meals.

He's not a chef by any means, but I taught him how to "cook the books" like a true professional.

And to the schlubs of Iowa who WILLINGLY pay their taxes, I thank you.
