Consider yourselves lucky you never had to deal with this or Bob's

I worked in the health care field...I did have to deal with it...

Just a hobby, in my case.

Killed you for murdering the chinchillas or for falling
out of the tree?
I climbed way up in an old oak we had that was really
sprawly when I was 4...my Dad had to get me out with a

Tree...the chinches' belonged to my friend. They didn't
know about the dart in my leg either...

I did the same at around 8. Climbing up was easy. Coming
down was frightening!
It was an ordeal until my mother heard what was going on
(lots of kids in the neighborhood to run home and tell).
She showed up and yelled, "Get the hell down here, right
now!"
So I did.


hahaha! I discovered my fear of heights when I was half-way
up a water tower. There were several kids behind me so I
crabbed around to the back of the ladder and climbed down.

I've only recently begun telling my mother what she
didn't know about me in the 60's )
As far as the 70's are concerned, I'm not even going
there with her - she is my mom afterall!
Scout

We tried to do that with my Mom and all she would say is
"Why are yu making these things up?" Denial...


I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that attitude anymore.

I understand.
Did you know that people who are afraid of heights are typically the most
sexually adventurous? Psychologists think it may be a tool for dealing with
what are often irrational fears.

I get frightened looking down when I'm wearing my favorite Manolo Blahnik cowboy boots.
