    I'll start. ;)

    I dance, as most of you know, ballroom dance. A showcase performance (like a kid's dance recital, but for adults, and just one couple at a time on the floor in a choreographed dance) always gives me butterflies! :setf_050:

    You?

    Ladders, even watching someone else up one. All stems from me running out f our front door as a child, straight into the ladder my father was atop. The ladder went over backwards with him on it. Fortunately he was unhurt if a bit shocked.

    Forgot about the telephone. Took 8 years of therapy before I could even stop in the house when the phone rang. Now I can even answer it, as long as I recognise the number of the caller. Still unable to make a call though.

    Well heights don't bother me or ladders but I won't walk under them being superstitious and regarding phones calls if it's a number I don't know then it put on the auto reject list :smt082

    It's mainly spiders with me as they make me freeze on the spot besides the feeling of someone walking all over my grave :eek:

    We have had 5 major could have been much worse than it was incidents this Summer... One involved our dumptruck and a crotch rocket cycle... one an excavator, another the other dumptruck at an intersection where someone ran a red light, a close friend was hit just last night and the person who hit him didn't survive and another close friend this morning got rearended at a red light... EVERY TIME the phone rings its usually not just conversation... texting has become the main way to communicate with casual conversation...

    I do get nervous where escalators are concerned..as I don't like them.
