Phobias (Barn-Raising)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 19:40:00 GMT

Jesse has a horror of thunderstorms. It started when he read the Magic Tree House book about a tornado (he will forever be able to quote which number - #23) on the same day that he read the one about the earthquake (another number etched in his mind - #24). This was a few summers ago, on the fourth of July. That night, we took my born-on-the-fourth-of-July father to a Braves game. A big thunderstorm...

Ticks or Let's Talk Phobias! (Black Phoebe :: Ms. Jen)

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 05:50:40 GMT

Everybody has at least one, even if they will never admit to it. Some people have a lot more than one. Most of them are mild and not to life altering or disturbing, but sometimes they can stop life its place. I am talking about phobias . I have two phobias: Acrophobia and Parasitophobia. My fear of heights is not too bad, just an occasional bout of vertigo if I am too close to a ledge...

List of phobias (Later On)

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:13:17 GMT

Lots of phobias in this list. Of particular interest to those who have phobias—or who have friends or family with phobias—is that nowadays phobias are pretty well understood and often easy to cure. It’s worth doing if the phobia—for example, Aviophobia—presents a problem in one’s work or daily life. I do recommend, however, that...

David Sedaris: Bend Over and Say “Ah” (RT)

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 11:33:00 GMT

I’ve become a huge fan of Sedaris lately. This reading is from series of essays about his life as “An American in Paris” that I believe were originally broadcast on NPR. Here he discusses his various phobias, hypochondriac imaginings and the “systematic breakdown” of his body. Americans readers will perhaps be envious of the treatment he received in the French health care system, especially...

noreply@blogger.com (temporal) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 08:17:03 GMT

This is incendiary talk from the Papa of Islamophobes in the US, Daniel Pipe. He is all but signalling the need to attack Iran should Obama win the elections. The Islamophobes neoconzix spread exaggerated fears in their single minded hatred. Its fallout may lead their nation down the drain. The US is already bleeding and haemorraging in Iraq and Afghanistan and by getting it embroiled in Iran as well...

Phobia's for everything (Making Sense)

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 21:33:00 GMT

It is said there is a phobia for everything. So many things to be afraid of although there's probably people walking about who have more or less phobias than others. If there were an average number of phobias I wonder how many it would be. Five, six maybe more. Of course there are all the common ones which easily can be accounted for. For instance, spiders, drowning, falling, heights,...

"Transformers shirt gets jet ban". The Sun . (Why do mainstream media publications insist that headlines must be nigh unreadable?) I'm sorry for a week full of making fun of people's insane phobias, but I just can't get over the surrealism of it all.
