MadL Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 ^phobias, interesting question. I do like spiders n' snakes, so their out. I have No Fear of heights, so that's out. Been married and divorced and while I am in no hurry to repeat, nope, not a phobia. Had me arm near bit in two by a 15lb Cuban iguana and still call him my son, so its not giant lizards. Not afraid of the dark either, nor thunder n' lightning. But I have had nightmares where I found myself at a dropzone I had never been to before and after checking the place out an' findin some good folk for ta jump with I suddenly realize....I Did Neigh Bring Me Chute!!!! And the sun is going down too fast ta run home an' get it!! seriously, woke up in a sweat more then once from that horrid affair! However....perhaps thar be one....aye, I do think I have a phobia. As a youth born on the coast an' with skateboard in hand, I had a itchin ta take up surfin. The first summer was fairly nice, gettin the hang o' it. But it twas the second summer, out on the surf of Huntington Beach, CA, while wiatin fer a wave I saw a HUGE dark shadow pass under me. Me heart jumped into me throat and all I wanted was ta get ta shore!. A few year later the movie "Jaws" come out, I took me date ta see the show....I never went surfin again. so, phobias, I guess it be sharks. Love ta eat'em, don't wanta be eaten by'em. <geesh, just got home, can't a guy even take he's shoes off first? V Pistol duel or Sword fight? ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock! So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!

BriarRose Kildare Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 ^hmmm, Pistol duel or sword fight? Well since I be good at both....depends on which weapon is closer at hand. <just got home a bit ago me self and relaxin' a bit V pass the question Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. The Dimension of Time is only a doorway to open. A Time Traveler I am and a Lover of Delights whatever they may be. There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.

MadL Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 ^ Aye, I tend ta be a bit o' a traditionalist as I really like Blackbeard.

Hester Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 ^I've really let my garden slide over the past few years. Violets have completely colonized the 'herb garden' (that I cluelessly planted in the shade of a spruce tree). Weather's great this weekend, but there's still piles of snow in the yard that haven't melted yet, so yardwork will have to wait. < This cold/flu is finally easing off.
