I'm thinkin' finding a trip that caters to all the various phobias is gonna be tricky...

Who is our balloon-o-phobe again?

Rafting rapids with big bouncing latex balloons tethered to the float vests...

Ruthy's scared of balloons. I think. Right?

I'm only scared of things it's normal to be afraid of. Like mimes.

Hey, g'nad...remember that story you told about that guy that said "He died then." It was hysterical but I can't remember exactly how it went. It seemed to be full of British understatement.

Heh...I loved that story. Wish we coulda taped it.

Ruthy's the balloon-o-phobe.

I don't like 'em much either, but that's mostly because I don't like sudden loud noises or things jumping out.

Yup.

Like my irrational discomfort around latex balloons. The folks here at work delight in throwing overinflated balloons into my cubicle and watching the show.

Not as good a show as if I spot a cockroach, but good entertainment nevertheless.

Mylar balloons don't bother me a bit, but the latex ones unnerve me!

Me! Not going up in any hot air ballon, no jumping out of planes, and no rock climbing. helicopters are okay.

I moved those potted tomatoes to the shady side of TheSunroom. They're doing much better now.

It's nothing really. Just the memory of one popping right in my face and leaving a welt when I was a kid.

I don't like the sudden pop!

*shudder*
