Maybe what you need for the balloon thing is immersion therapy. It worked for me and spiders. I've always had an uncontrollable revulsion to spiders... until some years ago when I spent a weekend at a friends cabin. That place was *thick* with spiders everywhere. I mean millions of the little devils. So thick they made the floor crunchy... I slept on a couch that probly had hundreds crawling over my sleeping bag all night. They'd just fall outta trees onto your head... by the hundreds they fell like rain.
After that, I still don't like 'em much... but *nothing* will ever approach that level of creepiness again.
:-)
Now... all we need is a room full'o balloons...
I forgot to include you in the above post! :-P
Heh... How about balloon animals? :-)
But I can't stand standing there listening to the twisting, squeaking, rubbing sounds as they're made.
Like nails on a chalkboard!
*shudder*
I don't like 'em much either. I'm not terrified of ballons...but that sound...and the act of blowing 'em up...are two things I really don't care to be around.
Oops...missed an "o" there. Balloons!
Hehehe... yah, that's pretty annoying.
So... got yer hurricane supplies all ready to go? :-)
See then? I'm not so weird.
I had to sit in my car with both girls twisting and playing around with some balloon animals they got.
It's was nerve-wracking!
Squeeeek!
Yup. Everything but the shutters!
We're lucky with Dennis (so far). Let's hope that luck holds out like it did last year.
My mom and I sat down earlier to discuss our game plan should a Cat 3+ storm head towards Miami.
We're going to flee! :-D
OK...who put all the peachy words in the keywords, hmmm?
Peachy keen...heh...
It wasn't me.... I was out for a pint with my husband!
Mmmmm......pint....
We'll take you for some there next week, if they still have some pints left ;~D
Run for the ... ummm... hills... :-)
*whistles innocently*
Mmmmm....pints....
I could climb a coconut tree.
