it's the turkey neck.

or a whole liver. or tongue. or brains. the stuff my in-laws would use. they did use everything but the moo or squeal.

I can't handle metal, or hold keys in my hands. Stainless steel ok. I used to have to put a hankie around the old school case handle. Makes my hands smell really bad.

I'm sorry thimblebug, but I'm sitting here laughing. lol. You do have a way with words....you describe that chicken/turkey so well I can feel it! Not making fun of you......I just had to giggle when I read your post.

Nope, not weird. I feel the same way, but I do get on them. Just takes me a couple of extra seconds. I always hesitate. If I'm wearing heels, forget about it!

I also don't like clowns. To me, they are totally creepy!!

I wont touch a whole fish. And I cannot eat cream soups.
No problem with batting but sure wish it was not so fragile.

I'm alright with batting. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. What gets me is the textures of towels, and rough fabrics etc. :roll:
I had an issue with esclators when I was younger, and I still don't like them, so I understand.

Bearpaw, I don't like clowns either!! Or puppets. It must have come from some old sci-fi movie, or something. My big problem is bridges. They scare me to death! And when the Minneapolis bridge collapsed (where I am from), my problem went to a whole new level. I can tell you where every bridge in this town is, and we live on a river.

Yes!! Worse than puppets are the ventriloquist dummies. They're awful!!!

I saw a movie when I was little where the ventriloquist dummy came to life. Scared the bejeezus out of me!!!

Right! Do you remember what that movie was? I know what you're talking about! Talk about tramatization!

I actually understand this one! I feel the same, but try not to show it since everyone would think I was nuts.
But then I also have a phobia of playing pass-the-parcel, so maybe I AM nuts.
