My dil hates clowns too! I never knew they were evil until she suggested it. Now that Burger King guy is ewwwwww!

My grandmother used to shave the last bit of the soap bar into a jar then use it for the laundry. That was because she made her own soap and it was used for bathing, dishes or the laundry, no matter what.

I have to have the closet doors closed in my bedroom in order to sleep. Who knows where the boogie man lurks?!?!?

War - I am not a big fan of birds either. I keep getting attacked by them. Once I was feeding some ducks that were swimming in the lake. One got jealous I wasn't feeding it as much and flew out of the water at my head. I have also been bitten by a Canada goose, and had a pelican take a swipe at me. Another time I found a baby robin in distress on my front steps. I left it there for an hour before deciding what to do. As I opened the front door, I had the mama and daddy robin fly at me from two different angles. FREAKY! In all the comotion the baby robin fell off the steps and when I finally got the nerve to go back outside it was gone.

LOL, that's just not right! Pamy, have you read IT????? You'll see, ain't just a guy in makeup, clowns are bad!

Serenity, probably the biggest part of my fear with birds is that they seem to always come after me. When we were kids we had parakeets, and if they got out of their cage, they'd fly around the room. Never bothered anyone but me either. I've been chased by ducks too, they can be mean, lol.

I haven't looked at clowns the same way since I watched "It" and saw Tim Curry come out of that shower drain!

I also hate clowns, but perhaps more weird is the fact that I absolutely hate balloons. They make my skin crawl. I don't like the sound of them, the looks of them, even the smell of them. I was at a party a few weeks ago where they dropped balloons on the ballroom at the end of the night and I thought I was going to go mad inside.

Oh, and P.S. -- Wargod and Serenity, I was attacked by a black swan when I was about 11, and I've never forgotten it. He was vicious. I've been wary of birds ever since - ha!

Spiders? Snakes? Bugs? Don't bother me in the least.

Swans and balloons? Terrify me.

Yankee, I'm the same way with cotton (like what comes in a pill bottle.) It drives me absolutely batty to have to touch it.

Hehe, Pamy, you're wrong. Pennywise is always there, always.

Mamie, I'm going to be awake all night now, lol.

You clown-fearing guys would have hated Fear Fest at Busch Gardens. They had crazy clowns everywhere getting all up in people's faces!

I am absolutely terrified of most annimatronics.

I almost had a heart failure at Disney (Land or World - not sure). I was taking a Greyhound Bus tour crosscountry, and took myself to Disney along the way... and I went into one theatre, and they closed the door behind us once we sat down. I was fine. But when a huge, larger than life Lincoln sat up in his chair, began speaking, and started walking towards the edge of the stage, I almost had a coronary. I kept focussing on the kid in the row in front of me, who was having a perfectly fine time. (I was about 19 at the time.) I was perfectly quiet, and didn't embarrass myself. But I am sure my fingerprints are still embedded in the chair I was sitting in!

On our honeymoon, about 6 years ago, we went to Vegas and one night we went to dinner at Caeser's Palace, which is chock-full of animatronic statues etc, I was so nervous walking through the place, but what was worse was that I had an embarrasing meltdown as we got lost outside on the way home, and the statues were talking or something. Poor VinBlanche had to figure out a way to get us to the street while I was freaking out. I think we ended up in the back of the building...definately in a parking area. I had dragged him out in a panic, after dinner, and we lost our way. Not my finest hour.

Oh great... reminiscing about this stuff has really creeped me out. Oy!

That reminds me....We live 2 hours from Niagara Falls, and go there fairly often. Well there is a restaurant called the Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls. There are all these animatronic animals... with nature sounds etc. I got as far as the gift shop and had to leave immediately. I had to watch Vin buying souvenires through the store window. Sad, sad, sad or dumb dumb dumb. But what can you do. (shrug) These things are irrational, but knowing that doesn't help much with phobias.

(If I am not mistaken, we now have a Rainforest Cafe in our city too... Whoopie.)

Yes Mame there is one in TO now. I'll bet Vin was supportive the whole way thru which always makes it a little easier. I'm always kicking myself if I have an anxiety attack but my dh is always a rock no matter how foolish I feel.

Mame, I take it you didn't come to the Texas get-together at the beginning of the year. We had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe in Grapevine.

Can someone please explain to me this fear of clowns? I honestly don't get it.

What I really dislike are the people in the slasher movies who go investigate a noise or look for someone who's missing.

Those people in slasher movies who do dumb things like that get what's coming to them, IMO.

Perhaps even worse than my fear of clowns is my fear of frogs. A frog will send me into a panic.

Really? I love frogs! I'm not too bothered by snakes or spiders either. I've been known to poke at snakes to see them move. Not too bright, I know. And I never kill a spider if I can help it. Bugs can make me squeamish, though. Roaches. UGH.

Mine is snakes. Can't even look at them in books or on TV, and if I come across one, which I have, I go into a full panic, if I only wet myself that's a good thing.
