Phobias
My TV still doesn't work. Comcast was supposed to send someone out yesterday to fix it. They never showed up, and this was after we threatened to leave them. I have taken the wisdom I obtained from the book, "He's Just Not That Into You," and am moving on. We are switching to something else, but we need our TV restored to how it was before Comcast got involved.
Anyway, this has given me a lot of time to be productive and read and write and churn butter. I feel like I'm in Little House on the Prairie. No wonder Nelly was such a bitch. There wasn't much else to do.
And to make matters worse, I will most likely be murdered. Rob called that member of 50 Cent's entourage who created this whole mess to inform him that we are going to report him directly to some Better Business Bureau for Cable. He and G-Murda know where I live. They will come back and put a cap in my ass. I will be featured on an episode of Forensic Files. I just know it.
So, I've been spending my time surfing YouTube. I came across this video of a chick who is deathly afraid of pickles. No, it's not Tos; it's some other chick, but their reaction to pickles is very similar.
I don't think I have any major phobias like that. I guess I'm kinda afraid of heights, although I have gone skydiving. I do have a fear of those cable car gondolas that require only one cable to get from point A to point B. If it's way high in the air, forget it; I will break out in hives, cuz I just know this will happen. And I don't like flying anymore, especially during takeoff. Any slight turbulence as we launch into the air creates a mild heart attack.
I used to be afraid of spiders, but they don't bother me much anymore. And this thing kinda freaks me out.
Other than that and labiaplasty, I don't have any fears (that I'm aware of), except the fear of my impeding doom from the cable guy.
Do you have any phobias like this?

Vomit. Can't stand to do it, look at it or hear it. It's fierce. Panic attacks all around.

You know,I still think about that gondola crashing, too. UGGGGGH. Nightmarish.

I'm scared silly of locusts... No offense, but that pickle phobia girl is an annoying idiot! Someone needs to slap that girl with a vedy, vedy crispy pickle!

People standing too close to the edges of cliffs, that's my phobia.

Just your standard phobias - clowns, ice cream trucks, and chickenpox.

Hey! I was reading some other DC lady's blog and she was all, Comcast has been donkey shotting me for a few days, I'm going to call the Better Business Bureau. And she did and then Comcast started sucking her balls--in the good way.
If I find which blog it was, I'll send you the link.
dBud: Some other DC lady? Jeremy, I don't have tits. Moobs, maybe. But certainly not tits.

Penises in excess of 8". Total phobia. But I'm in a treatment program, I'm getting better.
Ok seriously, I guess I'll find out when it happens.
dBud: You'll be disappointed. They're kinda fun the first few times for the novelty effect, but it wears off, and then you're just left with a third leg that you can't really do much with. I guess that's kinda a phobia, but not really.

I figured out who it was--it was your buddy Dumbek.

I have a general unease with any members of the solifugidae family (sun/camel spiders) or scorpions. Kill them all.

The really funny one is the girl deathly afraid of styrofoam. She freakes out at the sight of it!
My phobias are fairly standard: heights and vaginas.

That labiaplasty clinic will do outer labia collagen treatment for a fuller, more luscious-looking vulva.

Hey - I ain't no lady. I love me some Maury though.

Okay, I really didn't have any phobias of note until you linked the lablaplasty site.
Thanks, now I'm in the phobia club!

TJ - you're not afraid of heights, you're afraid of falling.
