Too funny Searunner! I love the one about the flu! That totally sounds like me! LOL

Michelle, having a heart attack in the store is a big one for me. I call it my "Everest" because it makes me think of climbing that huge mountain. That one will probably be my last one I tackle. Once I can go to a store successfully by myself, I will consider myself cured! It's so good to know that ...

Hi Dana. I know that the loss of gravity fear seems so outrageous, but it was truly one of my worst fears. I had a hard time being anywhere where the ceiling is really high (including school gyms) and I can't lay outside and look at the stars, I don't like trampolines or anything that might "comprim...

Thanks for the support everyone! It feels good to be able to laugh at these fears instead of allowing them to terrify me. It's true, laughter really is the best medicine!

So I am at the point in the program where I am almost ready to start facing my fears. I am very agoraphobic, and have a hard time even leaving my house, but I am feeling confident enough to start taking on some of these irrational ideas of mine. So how exactly do I start doing that?

Especially after reading that nose-picking while driving statistic, gross. My husband is a local truck driver I know what they do in there, and I'm...

Hi Jill, It would depend on what time of the year in '84. I was born that fall. LOL I'm a youngster. You are absolutely right though, Portage was all industrial then. There wasn't really anything else here other than the steel mills. Oh my goodness, 19 and lost 2 hours away from your original destin...

This is hysterical!! I was trying to come up with my own wanted ad, but I couldn't decide if I wanted a knight in shining armor who was helpful and wouldn't judge or someone to share in my misery. So I'll do one of each! :) Wanted: Single, tall and stocky male who won't mind picking me up after I've...

It was a really cool science experiment. I will never forget it that's for sure! I'm scarred for life! LOL Yeah, the northside of Portage is very industrial like right when you get off the highway, but when you start coming a little more south it gets better. How long ago was it that you got lost he...
