Without making fun of the woman's fear.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Nancy J.

Maria Schneider runs a great site over there and is looking for flash of 1000 words or less. I'm hoping to see a bunch of the WAG participants enter. It would be great if one of us wins.<br />~jonJ.

Since then medical needles freak me out! I started crying hysterically, not to many years ago, because I had to get a flu shot. <br /><br />The odd thing is I have a tattoo and piercings that I didn't blink an eye at. <br /><br />The brain is a strange and wondrous thing.<br /><br />Interesting piece, Iain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983353315992483291.post-51175097038198115512009-05-14T21:18:00.000-07:002009-05-14T21:18:00.000-07:00I'd probably want a closer look at a rat on ice, b...I'd probably want a closer look at a rat on ice, but keep them long-legged buggies away from me!<br /><br />I deny no one their phobias, but if you're going to panic, leave me out of it.<br /><br />I like this piece, Iain.
