1# - dreamcatchers. You need to tell them the story. I think it's the story, if told right, is really what works. Did for my daughter and then for hers.

2# - Scary movie? Jaws. Most hilarious "scary" movie EVER???? Sharknado!!!!

lolz at Sharknado chickisoup

I confess to watching quite a few of the B-grade 'scary' movies on the SyFy Channel but even I could not sit through all of Sharknado; that one was just way too silly and sleeping was a preferred option lol.

I did sit through Arachnoquake and Bermuda Tentacles; lots of groans and chuckles in those two

Dean koontz soul survivor book freaked me out a little. Then i read almost everything else he wrote

Yeah sharknado was funny. The canadian version has the crack smoking mayor rob ford in it

LOL Found that funny, huh? I'm over it but it wasn't funny back then. Funny how age changes things.

I am with you on that. Black Widow spiders are not allowed. We also have a type of jumping spider that can cause a rash that is not allowed:

It's very pretty, for a spider. Now, that's said, stomp it!

Can anyone say, "practicing medicine"?

Veterinary medicine is an educated guess at best, especially since the patient cannot *tell* you what's going on.....

(I realize the above post is not about vet med, btw. But people med is just a step removed...)

(added edit...)

That being said, I had one vet adventure with caponizing chickens. I wanted to do it, but didn't want the roo-let to feel it and so asked my vet (a close friend) for some anesthesia. Well, he was a large animal vet (always out for my stud farm) and so I'm in his office and he pulls out the Mercks manual, starts reading about avian anesthesia and asks "So these chickens, are they about the size of a pigeon?" Even the vet book didn't have sufficient poultry information....

Learning to ski and being constantly on chair lifts and aerial trams cured me of acrophobia. I still freaked out one time on Aspen Highlands in CO. The chair goes up at about a 60 degree grade to a peak and then crosses over to another peak. The drop is about 300' and that is to the trail, if you were lucky enough to hit the trail. More likely you'd fall to the wrong side of the ridge below which was a steep slope and one would probably slide a few thousand feet before coming to a stop. I had a camera in one hand and my ski poles in the other. When I hit the peak, I froze, gripping the crossbar with my arms. I was too scared to stick the camera in my pocket so I could hold on with both hands.
I was on a high aerial cable car going from Ischgl, Austria with some Danish friends. One of the guys was afraid of heights and he put himself in the middle of the 40 person car so he couldn't see how high he was. His cruel friends kept describing the view to him till he was slumped cowering on the floor.

I love Ferris wheels but rarely go up on them, I can't stand the height. I have NEVER been on a roller coaster and never plan to be. At my age now, 60, if I tried, I'd probably die of a heart attack.

BTW, just saw an interview.... Sharknado's sequel is in the works!

Now, while I was not paying a lot of attention, I did see an advertisement for what I believe was Sharknado 3? I got a brief glimpse of a shark flying through the air, chasing a car down a road? Lolz, I think I will pass on that one!
