A strange fear I have is going into the bathroom and seeing that the shower curtain is closed. I always expect a dead body there even if it's someone I don't know.
Dont ever watch The Shining then

Mike, I was thinking the same thing...lol!

Or rat food. They hate rat food.
They keep hiding dog biscuits in the afghan on my couch. My daughter's dogs love it when they visit, but...that's my nightmare! A couch covered in half-eaten dog biscuits, rat spit, and dog drool.

I have the same problem. Mice get my inside dog's food, and hide it under the refergerator. Pigeons get my outside dog's food, the dumb thing is finally wising up and chases them off. I finally got him over his fear of pigeons.

How'd you do that? My daughter's male dog is scared of EVERYTHING. He acts tough (for a 3.5-pounder) but if anything "scary" gets too close to him he tries to crawl under me. I got this little wind-up bat toy after Halloween...the darn thing's about an inch high...I wound it up and set it down so it was walking toward him and he totally freaked out. Really, I thought he'd play with it, or just ignore it.
Filth scares me. I've got clutter all over my house, but it's clean. There's a short story in Stephen King's latest collection, and UGH, I can't even think about it! Bleh! Why did I think about it???

The brainless thing just got hungry and learned if he dosent chase them away, he dont eat.

Talking about filth stories, I once read a story by George Romero, the living dead movie guy. About a sicko who made a mannikin from his own doo-doo. That was too sick, even for me.

One of my worst fears is being buried alive. I am a real claustrophobic. I have this recurring nightmare where I wake up in a coffin buried alive. It scares me so much that I wake up thrashing about and yelling. I even gave Hades a black eye with my elbow once and another time a dead leg with my knee. One night, I was reading and she went to bed before me, when I entered our bedroom, Hades was wearing my cricket pads and helmet and pretending to be asleep. She had waited about an hour to play her little trick, but her giggling gave her away.

It sounds like you need a bundling board, Gannon. If you dont know what that is, back in the old days when it was common for people to share beds if a male and female had to share the same bed, they put a plank on the bed between them so there wouldnt be any hanky-panky going on. In your case it would keep your lady from getting beat up.

Yeah, I've seen The Shining, but I feel like it's unrelated to the film. But, I feel like if I was to watch the movie again, it might reinforce the fear.
That - among many - was a really surreal scene.

StephenKingman wrote:@ clint, a book called Ireland by Eyewitness travel does explain a lot of the history of Ireland and the different names (poets etc) associated with the major cities here, as well as the long and complex relationship between here and England which led to our republic of Ireland now comprising 26 counties with the officially British Northern Ireland comprising 6 counties, including Belfast. The whole history of the 1916 rising and the events which follow make for a fascinating read..

@Mike. Sorry for my delinquent reply. I found Ireland by Eyewitness in one of our libraries, but there are only 3 copies
and they were all out. I ended up reading "A History of Ireland" by Peter and Fiona Somerset Fry. It is brief(364ppgs)
but adequate to answer the questions I had, as well as fill in large gaps of history I was unaware of. It now occupies
the space on top of my computer, where it can easily be referenced from time to time.
Still going to read Eyewitness, when it becomes available. Thanks for your help.

OMG, BH, she always reads these posts, do not give her any ideas. If I find a "bundling boar" on our bed in the near future I'm blaming you buddy.

I'm afraid of ponies, I know it's stupid, but I got bitten by a pony when I was 3. I had a huge bruise for ages after that. I'm also scared of feet, I haven't figured out why. I'm also afraid of swimming because I've almost drowned to death about 4 times.
