Well it used to be my only fear was heights. but in my old age now I have aquired some new ones. Tight spaces, snakes and the dreaded spider! I was bit a couple years back and actually grew a new cheek on my behind. lol.. seriuosly! The back of my thigh looked like I had and extra cheek on it!

Those spider looking like crickets that jump!! ewwwwwwwww

To a lesser degree - heights (can't seem to get past the 4th rung of any ladder) and being unable to touch the ground when swimming.

That sounds like me with spiders--any size, only DH won't kill them for me anymore. And if they are above my shoulders, I
really get clammy! Glad to see there are so many of us!!lol

Being a passenger....I only feel comfortable when I am in the driving seat. Haven't caught a bus/train for decades for this very reason. This probably means I am some sort of control freak, but this is the only thing that really bothers me....

Lately its Bed Bugs!!! I have to travel for work and just am a raving paranoid about bringing just one of those indestructable creatures into my safe home!!
Everytime I read about a hotel, library, office building being infested ... it make's it worse.
This is the one time I would but the envirnment issues on hold and just bomb them with chemicals till they all just curl up and die.
Ok I'm getting .. .a bit out there on this subject.
