> I just seem to startle so easily -do you have the startle problem?
I wish you could ask my husband that and watch him roll his eyes. Every time he comes in a room now he will shuffle his feet or rattle a doorknob or something - just so I know he is there. If I am deep in thought and suddenly see someone standing there when I don't expect to, it isn't pretty. After my ear-piercing scream comes the heart racing and the dizzyness, and even sometimes tears. One time someone at work thought it would be "cute" to come up behind me and poke me in the ribs. After the scream, a couple of hundred sets of eyes were on us. I was just sitting there, shaking and embarrassed. His face got very red and he just disappeared. Not a banner day.
