DE: Minor Phobias

[bjornwilde]

You know what gives me pause every damn time I do it? Grating. There is always a little moment of fear before I laugh at myself and get on with the cheesy goodness (or carrots or ginger). Getting anything out of the garbage disposal does the same thing, though to be honest I do have big hands, so it's realistic to be worried about getting stuck right?

So, what little, but perfectly reasonable, fears do you or your pup have? Do you share any? Have you projected any onto your pup?

Also, the back log of daily entertainment topics is getting a bit thin, anyone have a suggestion? Leave it here!

As for me: I can handle most bugs/spiders long enough to get to the 'squish it' stage, including roaches. But the thing I did not miss about living in New England: HOUSE CENTIPEDES. Something about all those damn legs freaks me the hell out.

Also, the closest I get to having proper nightmares are about my teeth breaking.

Guh. I didn't know those were a problem up here. Wonder if Shula's going to be up for killing them- he used to murder millipedes pretty happily...

From my somewhat limited experience, older buildings and lower floors seem to draw them the most. Saw the most of them when I was on the first floor of a dorm built in the '30s; a few in the basement of a dorm built in the early '60s, but not as many. We're on the second floor here and I've seen exactly one. (Some of that may come down to the management company being a bit more vigilant about pest control than I recall college being.)
