Stephanie!!  Baked Beans? You were burgled?  That is soo scary!!! 

The baked bean thing came from when I was a child Krissy - don't know why! I had to cook a load of them on a college trip once and because I was so scared I didn't stir them and I burned them on the saucepan! I had to clean them off - yuk!!!

We got burgled 10 years ago - it was awful, we were on holiday in Scotland and because Terry had had a drink I had to drive home for 8 hours overnight. When I came back I couldn't walk in the house. They took all my sentimental things. I have never really got over it - I'm paranoid especially when we go on holiday!

 On a lighter note Krissy - the hair thing - I hate hairdressers! I hate using strange toilets. We would be best friends if we lived closer!!

Stephanie...how awful!!!  That's one of my fears..home invasion!  If you ever go on vacation I will house sit for you!! LOL!!  And we would be best friends wouldn't we!!  I think we are a lot alike!!

Clowns...I'm ok with them...unless there are sitting in your room in the dark...during a storm...(ever see Poltergeist??)

Seems most of our fears stem from something dramatic happening in our childhood!  Funny how it sticks with you thru adulthood!!

Clowns are probably what gave me my phobia of masks and painted faces.

OK, Dentists.

IV's. The nurse gave me lidocaine last week, and the IV went in like a dream. I have a whopping bruise to show for it though.

Big spiders, oh they are so GROSS!

And a phobia of anything in a mask or painted face. I think we've talked about phobias in a thread many months ago.

Also I used to have a phobiia of Hares (not hairs). Those big rabbit animals. But I seem to be over that now.

 You havent' figured it out as of yet, you go in there and you say...I use to work in the medical field and we use to practice getting those "IV's" in properly, if your good enough...they never "hurt" and the kids don't cry..etc, how YOU do with them?...and they ususally make it an point to be careful.Smiles* Standard practice is to wipe the hand with some something to "numb it" before inserting the IV. I'd rather have one main IV then an lot of separate needle marks. Dentist drills now are something else, they ussually hook a sensing device in my mouth for pain and "sensitivity" to the high pitch sound of an drill. When your what they call "sensitive" or psychic, things are amplified to you many times over. I have had relatives on my mother's side that use to go to the hospital for dental work because of that, but they have new things out these days. If you ever run into "psychic1" you know your blessed, he works in hosptials with as he says...those they "gave up on" as an healer by way of an Federal Govt. grant. When my little grand-daughter was an wee baby she started running an high fever, they could't find an IV tiny enough to fit in her, an were running all over the place, I came home, held an picture of her in my hands and talked to "psychic1"...he told me she had the three day measles and it would in the fever and rash be gone by tomarrow. In the meantime emergency was running tests on her for mentigitis and all kinds of stuff, coming out negative results...and they finally gave up on her, as she broke the fever...and sure enough the next day, it was gone. All of it. Just like he said, he told me if she was "fussy" it was because she was "tender" where her diaper fit around her little legs. Isn't that an wonderful talent to have or been given. I think so. I was always interested in him talking and telling us what he'd been up to, because for some people he knew they were going over on the other side and he prepared them for it. Quite a few he cured also...by an better diagnoisis. He was an no-nonsene type of guy, he'd come in an see  how everyone was doing and leave just as quickly at times. Friendly and helpful, but never pushed himself on anyone. You had to "want" his help on your own.

I am (or used to be) terrified of thunder storms. As I have got older the terror has turned to just plain scared.  I will run a mile from a bee or wasp. I don't like open, unguarded heights.  And I will never, ever, watch the original Psycho on my own.Surprised
