This is interesting to me. I've never met anyone who was - or at least who was honest enough to admit to it - scared of matches and lighters. I was (still am) always more the opposite. I'm an ex-smoker, and used to play with my lighters and matches constantly - burning paper, plastic, lighting whole books of matches for no reason, etc. MANY years back, in bars, I was the one the others were wary of, saying, "10der! WHAT are you doing? You're going to get us kicked out of here or burn the place down!!"
Lol - they were kind of exaggerating, I must say. Seems like the people I was around tended way more toward the pyromania side, although I'm not using that term technically or clinically, of course.
I'm glad you posted about the soldering and the fire. I learned something. Is it that you will burn yourself - the fear? Or is there even more to it? Not that that isn't enough. And (sorry if I missed this in the thread) are candles out, too? What about fireplaces? Gas stoves? If anyone feels like saying. If not, that's obviously none of my business.
Okay - this will sound so very wrong, but I'll light your fires if you need me to, any time!!
;-)
PS - I just remembered, I am afraid of gas grills, though! Only comfortable with charcoal, which are pretty much illegal in my state. I keep thinking the bottle of gas will explode in a fireball - I don't know why.....?
