I can NOT for any reason go underground! No basements, no caves, no root cellars. NONE of it. I also can not go above the fifth floor of a building. A 'friend' once trapped me in an elevator, and took me up to the fifteenth floor. When the door opened, I fainted. She and I are no longer friends!

Seems like their are lots of snake phobia's. I grew up with snakes, my brother had just about every kind imaginable. Pythons, Boas, and regular ole snakes. When i was three years old, i would walk around the block with one around my neck. lol

But my big phobia, is rather laughable......I can not stand to watch people brush their teeth and i had a tremendous fear of dentist for a all of my childhood and just in the last 7 years or so have found a dentist that i love.

I am afraid of heights, swinging bridges, and going places by myself I've never been before. I get lost easily, can't find my way out of a paper bag. I'm also afraid of people who are drunk. I don't know why -- that just the way I am.

Riding in the back seat of a two door car (Would never own one!) Glass elevators on the outside of a building

Surprised myself having panic attacks in a camper on the back of our pickup truck. First time we were in Indiana...had never been in such heat and humidity in my life..and had to get out! I chalked it up to that but then it happened again in cool weather. I don't mind MRI's though.

I have 2 both are really bad for me. First is the fear of sharks I know, but I was on vacation to see my sister on the East coast we went to the ocean. They all were in the water I couldn't even put my toe in well my BIL thought he'd be funny and picked me up and went into the ocean carrying me. He didn't think it was so sunny after I climbed up to his shoulders crying the whole time. I can't even touch a picture of one as the child if one was in a movie I would be on the back of the couch. Second 1 is heights I believe that one comes from breaking my leg at the age of 2 that's the only thing I remember from that age I know just how I did it I can still see the stairs, I remember blowing bubbles with my mouth as sat on my mom's lap on the way to the doctors.

I even flunked a semester of English when I didn't do an assignment which required we present it in front of the class. I was terrified. My first job at work was dealing with paperwork, which I loved. When the computers took over that job they moved me to the front desk, working with the public. I had a complete meltdown and had to go home. Thanks to my co-workers (and prozac) I worked through it and gained confidence. After awhile of taking abuse from the public I even learned to do it with a smile and I learned how nasty some people can be!

OMG! ROFLOL. Other people have told me that too ;-) I was lying in bed one lazy Sunday morning, flipping channels on the TV, and there she was.....la la la la la laaaa...twirling on screen in her pink tutu and singing and I just completely flipped out. Laughed and laughed so much that DH came in to find out what was wrong with me. Since then of course I've gotten the little stuffed dolls of all four of the teletubbies and one of Laalaa that is almost two feet tall that sits on the guest bed. Friends have gifted me coloring books and Christmas tree ornaments and calendars...the whole bit.

I left town to visit family cross country not long after and when I returned DH picked me up at the airport (that was back when you could walk to the gate to meet people, not have to stay at baggage pickup) with the two ft Laalaa in his arms to greet me. He just LOVED the looks he got from kids in the terminal, all turning to parents and pointing and wanting to come over to touch her. And of course I just loved it when I walked out of the gangway and there he was, waiting.

Mama used to love to watch the show too because the 'Sun' on the show is a baby's face. When the baby laughed she just loved it. (Who wouldn't?!)

I don't collect the stuff or watch the show anymore and have given away or sold almost all the toys and such, just keeping a couple (and of course the two footer!) for the memories.

Don't fear, DogHouseMom! Laalaa is a force for good! Sunshine and hugs and dancing and play.

:lol:

I forgot a few. Escaltors. I fell on one as a child. I don't like to be on an elavator alone with someone I don't know. Tanning beds. Reminds me of a casket with lid coming down on you. What is so strange is that so many of us have the same phobias. Is that a quilter thing?

Kinda like Woodstock for kids?
