So you haven't been to the top of Eureka Tower then PS ? Me neither!..The roof top BBQ area on one of those big St Kilda terraces is about my limit.

Not sure, there are many to chose from, being fearful and not being able to remember why may be uncomfortable.

Fear is an important factor when defining a Human Being.

I'm sure she will correct me if I'm wrong but I think perhaps these extreme situations are not what Annie was referring to. More the every day things that some people fear and others don't..heights..spiders..snakes,,flying... I myself have never faced artillery fire. I've never been captured an tortured and I've never had to watch my child being abused. Nobody should have to go through that. But, as you have pointed out, they do. I have been in some horrific situations too but I choose not to talk about them here. I have gained the impression from your posts that you have experienced some very tough situations yourself and have many scars. Emotional and physical. I am very sorry you have been through that. I have also noticed that you have consistently received many kind and supportive words from the members here. And that is a good thing. With all that in mind I have to say that Annie didn't deserve what she got from you back there. She was just expressing an opinion like you frequently do. I think she deserves an apology. Of course this is just my humble opinion.

Of course, being me, I screamed and jumped and well, so did he or she. I didn’t care by that stage. I landed on the floor cushioned by my adequate bottom and just screamed as I looked for it.

My son came to me aid (whilst laughing) and found the tiny bugger in the fruit bowl on the counter. He took the frightful sod outside whilst I nursed my sore bottom! It wasn’t tiny to me. The thing was massive!

What’s your greatest fear?
Funny story but for those of us with the same fear a scary one too. I have tried my best to overcome my fear especially when the kids were small I tried to be brave and set a good example but unfortunately I'm still terrified of spiders...they just move so quickly dont they and all those legs........shudders
