I can't even mow our yard anymore because of the tree/barn swallows. I know logically they are eating bugs, but they swoop and dive at me and I just can't stand it. Even if I see a dead one I'll hop off the mower and let it keep going.

I've never wanted my son to be afraid so I do have hummingbird and finch feeders hanging outside. Long as they are out and I'm in it's not too bad. I just hate their eye, feet and beak and wings...well I guess pretty much the whole bird.
gotta love fried chicken!!!!! it's your revenge on those mean ol birds for scaring you so bad!!!

I sleep with every light off. The way I feel is I don't want an intruder to be able to see where he's going and I know where everything is in my house, including my S&W 38.

snakes, terribly afraid. My husband made me go in the snake exhibit at the zoo & I freaked out. I stood in the middle of the room & tried to act like I wasn't having a panic attack (i totally was) after about a minute I bolted.

Being in a bathroom in the dark (I blame candyman, IT, & mothman profecies)

Being outside in the dark

Thunderstorms, especially if I'm home alone at night

Creepy little kids in movies (I can't even watch the commercial for the grudge)

Being in large crowds of people (such as the pit at concerts) very scary, I don't like that this crowd of strangers is controlling my moments (again panic attack insues)

I don't like bugs or spiders, but I can deal with them. (However spiders in the shower do freak me out)

Movies with bad ghosts aren't good either

Im very scared of the dark! I sleep with my closet light on so that I can see. We also sleep with the bedroom door closed and locked. When we sleep with the door open I wake my hubby up all through the night bc I here noises! He got tired of that and started locking the door!

It's the only time I'm glad my furbabies bark. But I'd rather an intruder fumble around in the dark and me know how to manuver in my dark house. When I'm alone, "my little buddy" is right close, so I'm not afraid anymore. I've taken courses and target shooting is one of my favorite things to do. I usually use my sister-in-law as the target.....LOLOLOL

Aha! Can't think of a better reason to take up target shooting!

I would have to say that I am scared to death of storms! I freak out and start cleaning just to get my mind off of things. My other fear would be spiders. I can handle the little ones. it is the big ones that freak me out. We have a TON of black widows and wolf spiders in the area we live. Needless to say I actually loose it and will start to shake and cry IF I can't manage to get away from it. One time there was one over my door way and I could get in the house. I thought I was gonna Pee myself. I went and got the LONGEST broom I could possibly find and ANY kind of spray whatever in the shed that I could find. I didn't care if it damaged paint or wood I just wanted it DEAD. It took me an hour to kill that damn thing and when I finally did I was completely exhausted. You would have thought I had just run a race! LOL Needless to say it took a while to quit shaking.
