Ah, yeah. I'm terrified of driving over bridges that are made of that grating material... You know the kind, they rattle and shake with every new car that follows you, and you can see the water below... Eeeeewwwwww. :creepy:

You, too???? Most bridges freak me out. Had to drive over the Destin Bridge and man, that dang bridge seems to go on forever and ever, especially when you are shaking like a leaf. Thank God I did not have to drive back over it again. Dbuck was behind me and we dropped my rental car off, but man, I nearly blacked out from fear. Especially do not like bridges with no guard rails and only one lane going each way. :eek:

I have an irrational fear of the juice in the hot dog package. Hot dog juice. It is the scariest liquid out there. Spam jelly freaks me out as well. And swimming in murky water- will not swim in the bay deeper than a foot, or in the Gulf if not clear. Freshwater lakes, only on a tube or waterskis and if I am down the boat driver better get me quick!

I remember this!!! Hot dog juice!:lol: Would you believe I think of you every time I open a package of hot dogs? I have to say I tend to agree with you though..it's pretty gross.
And, I'm totally with you on the water you cannot see through thing. Haven't done it in years.

(1) snakes (# 1 on everybody's list, no?)
(2) bears (when they're where they're not supposed to be)
(3) :sharkfin:
(4) driving beside, behind or between (the WORST!) 18 wheelers on the interstate (especially in the rain and/or at night)
(5) driving on 331 at night (especially during deer season or when it's foggy)

Really tall bridges. Like the one on I-65 over Bay Minette!!!! In the past, I actually had to stop before it and collect my thoughts!!!!!! Used to go over the Huey P. Long when I was a teenager with a friend driving, pulling a double horse trailer going 5mph. Took up the whole bridge of course. Every Sunday going to horse shows at Pretty Acres Farm. I'm getting better though. Just recently drove over the huge bridge in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. Had to take a few deep breathes!!!!! You guys crack me up!!!!!!!
