I don't like spiders, but I'll kill one if it's in the bathroom or kitchen with me. Hornets or bees (some people confuse the two) won't hurt me unless I make them angry. I do avoid deep water... hmm, I'm running out of things here. My husband can't go near a dead anything. Some how he mustered up the courage at his mother's funeral... but that's him. I'm the one who has to pick up dead things around here.<br /><br />Interesting post, Eve. Oh, and don't go to my blog for a while. I've got cats crawling around and will do a post for Valentines that's the cat's meow.<br /><br />Lorelei Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294047277447613989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364621833086146525.post-39641032828322608752016-01-28T06:59:25.617-08:002016-01-28T06:59:25.617-08:00Hello Eve, I’m terribly afraid of making spelling ...Hello Eve, I’m terribly afraid of making spelling errors (and probably make lots because of it!) I’m also fearful of spiders, but I love cats. However, I do understand what you mean about the way they look at us humans – there is something creepy about that!<br />I’m back after my two-month blogging break and am already worrying myself silly about spelling mistakes – sometimes I wonder why I blog at all, but then I remember how much I miss everyone while I’m away. Happy New Year, Barbara.

I also know that posting up some cutesy photo of some cat can bring in the readers. Then again, I put up something about a cat and it more than likely scared away the one reader I sometimes get on my obscure blog.<br /><br />This might surprise you, but I have a fear of being in social situations and I'm a virtual recluse. I also know that a comfort zone can be a rather uncomfortable comfort zone. Something I working on. <br /><br />Fear of bad grammar? I don't fear that because I'm a grammar anarchist! <br /><br />Have a peaceful weekend, Eve.<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364621833086146525.post-17517718145960162472016-01-21T09:16:17.088-08:002016-01-21T09:16:17.088-08:00Glad you pointed out that there is a difference be...Glad you pointed out that there is a difference between general fears and phobias although one can morph into another fairly quick.

Then one day with a wet hand, I pulled a plug out of an outlet and nothing happened.<br /><br />Eve, when I was a kid one of my friends had a cat that always stared at me with what seemed to me to be malevolence. I don't fear all cats as a result but let's just say I understand your fear.
