Do You Have Any Phobias?
David In Indy:
This is a picture of Ronald McDonald through the years. The black and white picture at the bottom is Ronald McDonald from back in 1963.
Now I think I understand where my fear of clowns came from. >:(
I also have a fear of being alone, although I wouldn't consider it chronic or serious. I just don't like it. I'm not too crazy about storms either; especially thunderstorms. :P

Heights don't really bother me but edges freak me out. I can be near balcony edges, railings, airplane window seats...I go really wild.

I'm afraid of heights (acrophobia) if I am not in an enclosed space. We went to Grand Canyon as a side trip on one of Bob's research summers and I freaked out big time. I should have guessed, when I was a kid my poor father had to drive the mountain roads on the wrong side of the road so I wouldn't freak out on him...If he had to move back into his lane due to oncoming traffic I would lay on the seat and pray VERY LOUDLY. I guess you could probably extrapolate it further and say I have a fear of falling

Since you are afraid of heights, are you afraid to fly too Dottie?
My mother had a terrible fear of heights. But she was okay just as long as there was something between her and the drop, such as a wall or railing. So she was comfortable flying because she had a wall between her and the outside. But she hated climbing up step ladders or stairs without railings. In other words, she was more comfortable flying in a plane at 40.000 feet than she was climbing 2 feet up on a step ladder. ???

I'm just like your Mom, I'm OK in tall buildings as long they aren't all glass and I have no problem flying but I insist on the aisle seat :-\ but climb a ladder more than 1 or 2 steps, forget it, I never climbed fences when I was a kid, I always used the gate.
