Yeeehaaa!..lol. I went to a bar with a buddy a few nights ago, and I couldn't get *any* frozen drinks! So, I opted for my next fav, which was Bailey's on the rocks with cream-milk. Geezz...now I feel like going to the store and getting some cream, as I have Bailey's downstairs. :-)

Hey Kara Lynne,
I haven't been following as many threads as I'd like - my brain runs out of steam so easily - so I haven't written to you in a while. I just wanted to pop in and say that I hope 2004 brings you good things!

> Finally! Someone else who doesn't like robots. But, are you scared of them, or do you just dislike them?
I really don't like them. I have seen so many movies where they "come to life," that they just plain scare me now. I know that seems really childish, but oh well. I avoid the oldish B movies where the robots are evil.
I am really TERRIFIED of spiders. It is my most crippling phobia. My pdoc has tried to help me with it, but it just doesn't work. He suggested hynotism, but I said no. I'm not comfortable with that. One time I found one in my car, and I couldn't drive it again for 2 weeks. Ugh, it's awful.

Are you sure you're not me? I once had a spider on my shoulder and I fell down on the ground and couldn't move. My friend was with me and just laughed. They scare the crap out of me! They are just horrible creature. Why they are here is beyond me. Horrible, Horrible, Horrible...

<I had a terror of spiders most of my life. I did EMDR and I not longer have that terror....I can't believe it! I have had to deal with spiders since and I'm not terrified anymore.
I never thought that would go away.
Have you seen "Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King" yet? There is a really intense scene with a huge spirder...I know that would have sent me to the bathroom in the past. I just watched it in awe. I guess somethings can be changed.

Spiders. Ugh. I once saw a scanning electron microscope picture of one someone left lying around the lab. All I can say is EEEWWWWWWW. And ticks. ticks ticks ticks. Nasty horrible things. At least spiders eat bugs. WHAT do ticks do? WHY are they here? They are evil. They latch onto you. Like eight-legged mini-vampires. Like a bad houseguest. Like terrestrial lamprey fish. And they're damn tough to kill. Utterly freaks me out anytime I get one. And they always go for places you can't easily reach to yank them out. DEET's good, but it's no guarantee they won't getcha. Then there's bugs. Exoskeletons. Creep me out. Okay, I'm not up to phobia range with these things, but I hate 'em bad. Gimme a nice smooth garter snake any day. Or a nice hoppy frog or toad. Those are very cute. And they eat bugs. Does anything eat ticks?

*My dog eats eats them if I don't get them away from him fast enough. But, my boyfriend worked a dig over the summer for a class and he ate a clove of garlic every morning before going to work outside. It worked too! He never got a single bug bite. He doesn't use Deet because it can be harmful. If you can stomach the clove of garlic it should work. I guess the caplets don't work like the actual clove. But even the mosquitos didn't touch him!! And he was outside for 10 hours digging in the hot sun (AND HE ENJOYED IT!!! go figure!)

So that's the secret. I've been bug bait my entire life. And I have had to do lots of field work. Your boyfriend is an archeologist maybe? I'm in the earth sciences. My last field site was crawling with ticks. (shudder)
> He doesn't use Deet because it can be harmful.
During my undergrad summer field course we used Muskol (100% deet). We dabbed it gently on clothes and hats and the occasional body part. If I give birth to children with 3 eyes, I'll know what to blame. Nice to find a way to not use it.
I'm a garlic wimp. I'll look at the capsules.> And he was outside for 10 hours digging in the hot sun (AND HE ENJOYED IT!!! go figure!)
:) I can relate to the digging. There are times when I miss doing field work. Except when the weather's bad or the bugs are bad!

His major was archeology or anthropology. Not sure which. I can't keep them straight. I'm not really interested in either topic much, so I don't need to know which is which. He graduated from Indiana University, which is a pretty good school. But, there really isn't much work in Indiana for the field.
I'm a telecommunications major. I guess it's a "hot major" right now (whodathunkit?) but again, not much work in Indiana!
So, after I graduate we are planning to work for a few years and haul it to California to "make it big!"
As for the garlic, my boyfriend's the biggest wimp I've ever seen! He used to hold his nose to eat the garlic. Just chew it fast and wash it down with orange juice. It really worked for him. I don't think the capsules work, or don't work as well, or he would have taken them. He whined every morning when he had to eat it.
He really liked the digging part too. Taking his lunch, getting caught in the rain, panning through the dirt. Yuck.. I'll stick with my trusty camera any day! I remember the stories he used to tell about his instructor though! The man used to pull the van over to pick up road kill! Seems he knew how to prepare road kill and on the last day they even had squirrel chili. Ick. Andy tried it. He said it wasn't that bad. And this is from a boy who won't eat a medium well steak, it has to be well done. I guess he thinks he's a cowboy now or something?? Or maybe the heat got to him? Possibly someone sprayed him with a Deet product? I have no clue.. He sure is strange sometimes but he buys me things so I'll keep him around for a while, if he continues to work :) (I AM JUST KIDDING YOU KNOW!!)

Don't you hate it when other people think you are being childish or even worse, doing it for attention. I guarantee I am NOT doing it for the attention. I am genuinely scared. Three weeks ago a BIG one ran across the loveseat in the living room. I am JUST now feeling a little more comfortable about sitting on it again. Ahh.

I wish I could do that. What is EMDR? Is it like Exposure Response Therapy? I can imagine sitting next to a spider or something. I'm getting uneasy just writing about it!

*Are you hitting on me? :) jk (Or am I? Guess you'll never know..)
My friend knew I wasn't kidding. That's just how we are. We are horrible to one another. Once she wasn't completely in my car and I didn't know it and I ended up dragging her about half a block. She finally spoke up and all I could say was "Well next time hurry your slow a** up." That was my way of saying I'm sorry and she knew it. If she had tried to touch me to remove the horrible creature I would have freaked out and she knew it. And I'm quite certain I looked rather funny throwing such a huge fit in the middle of the park. I mean no one else knew what was wrong and all of the sudden I was just screaming and cursing and rolling on the ground. I'm sure it was rather fascinating to the viewer. I only wish I could see it on tape, (of course without the spider). I can't really blame her for laughing. I laugh at her when she falls down, so I suppose I'll let this one go. But, I must admit this was a terrifying situation.
What gets me is the fact that I can't step on teh blasted creatures. For some reason I think that they are able to climb through my shoe or something. I mean I know rationally that they can't. Yet, I still am unable to step on them. I can't smash them with books. I jsut have this fear that they can actually somehow not be smashed and be able to crawl through teh shoe or book. WHY?????? They shouldn't be able to live........

My best friend and former roommate is the same way as me when it comes to spiders. And me and her are very much like you and your friend. We would laugh at each other any time one of us would do something embarrassing in public. She always wears these tall, chunky shoes that she can't walk in, so it is inevitable that she will trip at least once or twice while we are walking together. And everytime she does, I just laugh and laugh! She's too tall anyway, like 5'8". I'm only 5'1"!
> What gets me is the fact that I can't step on teh blasted creatures.
Me neither!!! I stepped on one ONE time, and I felt like I could feel it through my shoe on the ball of my foot. It was so nasty. So, IF I get brave and I can't find anyone else to kill it for me, I get someone elses shoe (NOT my own) and kill it...and that spider gets overkill. I make sure it isn't coming back to life to crawl on me!

Ok, you're my friend.. She's like 5'3 .. I'm the tall one who wears the big shoes and is clumbsy... Crap... You found out my secret! Petty, is that you? That's my best friend. Only, she's not afraid of spiders. Aliens, yes spiders, no. Clowns, yes!! Even worse than I am! And she has BLEACH blonde hair, almost white.
As for the overkill thing with spiders.... You have to be sure they are dead. Nothing is worse than lifting up that shoe and seeing that stupid thing still moving. ICK! I prefer to just leave the shoe on top of it. Also, it helps to leave something heavy on top of the shoe, like a coffee table. Times like this I almost wish I had a robot, or a manly boyfriend. He helps with the spiders, but he saves them. Darn hippie! For some reason he thinks they are "good for the environment" or that they deserve to live or something like that. Goodness! He'd change his tune fast if I decided to stop doing laundry or cleaning the house....

That is so true isn't it. The legs always move and that just terrifies me even more!!!!

I resisted joining this thread for a long time... But now is the time. I have 3 spider "stories".
1. When I was maybe 5 years old I went into my bathroom (the one I had used since we moved there 4 years ago), pulled my pants down and started to sit. There was a Daddy Longlegs on the toilet seat. I almost sat on it. I HATE Daddy Longlegs - even more than "normal" spiders. Fortunately, I decided that the Daddy Longlegs was the problem and not the toilet. It would be hard to live without the toilet...
2. My two daughters have gone to Girl Scout camp for years (of course, I did too...). My oldest has been a counselor. When there is a spider in my house I call one of them and they rescue me.
3. I was the children's librarian at my local library and I started a Bedtime Storytime in the summer. Once a week the kids arrived in their pajamas and carrying their stuffed animals. I read stories, we sang and did the hand motion thing. At the end, I did a song with a large (12 inch) spider puppet. Raffi sings the song, too. I got a volunteer and the child and my puppet acted out the song.
There's a Spider on the Floor
(to the tune of If You're Happy and You Know It)There's a spider on the floor, on the floor.
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor.
Who could ask for any more,
Than a spider on the floor?There's a spider on my leg, on my leg.
There's a spider on my leg, on my leg.
Oh it's really really big,
This old spider on my leg.
There's a spider on my leg, on my leg.Now the spider's on my stomach, on my stomach.
Now the spider's on my stomach, on my stomach.
Oh he's just a dumb old lummock,
This old spider on my stomach.
Now the spider's on my stomach, on my stomach.Now the spider's on my head, on my head.
Now the spider's on my head, on my head.
Oh I wish that I were dead,
I've got a spider on my head.
Now the spider's on my head, on my head.And he jumps off!!!
Now there's a spider on the floor, on the floor.
(Continue all you want.)They loved it.

Yes, they are like 5 inches tall. And I'm like 5' 9 without shoes so she gets mad when I wear tall shoes. Especially because I always call her short (well, she is!!).
Why do spiders' legs twitch like that when you kill them anyway? It's bad enough that I'm terrified of them. They're tiny and I could smash them easily but they still move after I smash them with all of my force. They're just plain gross. And my boyfriend seems to think it is funny to hold one in my face before he takes it outside. He's just wrong! But, I like to stand in the dark hallway and startle him when he doesn't expect it! He screams like a little girl! I can be mean too >)
Another thing that frightens me is the drive thru car wash. I just figured that one out a month ago. I almost jumped out of the car. I almost had a panic attack.
Why would your aunt keep them in the house? Does she not realize they could jump into bed with her??? Is she OK, all there, ect? Ick, I couldn't go to her house. No way!

EMDR is "bilateral stimulation". Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is what the EMDR means. It's good for phobias, eating disorders, memories of sexual abuse and post-traumatic stress.
This therapy was created by Francine Shapiro. She was walking in a park while trying to overcome her own stress when she realized that her fears seemed to diminish as she looked from side to side at the scenery around her. Her subsequent experiments showed that others reacted the same way, and a formal controlled study also showed that the technique had therapeutic value.
It was orginally used for treating Vietnam War veterans with post traumatic stess disorder.
Sometimes the technique can bring about marked improvement in only one or two sessions.
I went to my EMDR therapist for 1 year and worked out so many problems that I feel like a new person. I am so unemcumberded by the old stresses that my personal vibrations are more mellow. Very mellow. I was hyper....very hyper vigilant. It was my gift to myself. To become who I really am not who all the horrible experiences could have made me be.
So I am happier and healthier and more easy about myself. I am so glad you asked.

> Why do spiders' legs twitch like that when you kill them anyway?
I do not know! But I find that they are good fakers too. Like, when you step on them, they curl into a ball and fake like they are dead. Then when you go to pick them up with a VERY thick (several sheets) of papertowels, THEY TRY TO RUN! Scares me everytime. But, I have grown wise to their antics. I make sure that thing is smashed before I go near it. And I look for any of it's friends that might be with him.
And my boyfriend seems to think it is funny to hold one in my face before he takes it outside.
Yes, my dad does that and thinks it's just hilarious.
> Another thing that frightens me is the drive thru car wash. I just figured that one out a month ago. I almost jumped out of the car. I almost had a panic attack.
That scared me the first time I went through one, but I can't say it bothers me now.
Yet another serious phobia of mine is heights. I can't even begin to explain it. I used to live in an apartment that had a balcony. I'm telling you, I barely EVER went out there, and I was only on the second story... :(> Why would your aunt keep them in the house? Does she not realize they could jump into bed with her??? Is she OK, all there, ect? Ick, I couldn't go to her house. No way!
No, I'm not sure everything is okay with her. I told my pdoc about her and he thought that she should see a doctor about it. Yes, she knows they could jump into bed with her, but it doesn't bother her. One time she said she woke up with one on her head. OH MY! I think I would have cried and been hysterical for days if that had happened to me. I can't even watch spiders on tv or look at them in books or magazines. Maybe I really should take up my pdoc on his offer to "cure" me of this.

They do curl into a ball. Seems humans aren't the only ones with defense mechanisms, huh? But, I'd prefer not to humanize spiders because I don't feel a bit guilty killing the buggers and won't in the future. I'm just waiting until the day that one jumps up after I try to smash it and lands in my face. Oh, I'll be in the psych ward for quite a while. I highly doubt I'll ever fully recover from that one. Also, spiders don't have friends. They don't travel together. They travel alone. Don't EVER say that there would be more than one of them in a house at the same time. Cockroaches, yes I could see that. Spiders, no. They don't have friends, they don't have babies, they don't have parents. They are loners. They're like cowboys, only without a horse. And they don't breed either. Somehow they just appear. It's a mystery... I'll tell you, for $$ :)
Yet another serious phobia of mine is heights.*Ok, now this is where it gets odd. I'm so terrified of heights, I can't step up on a step ladder to change a light bulb. I can't walk up a ladder on a slide, but I adore roller coasters. I was so ill on the Eiffel Tower that I had to move towards the center and I could not look towards the edge. I ended up getting sick in the bathroom. I'm fine as long as I don't close my eyes (because you can feel things moving high up) and if I don't look over the edge. But, if you are traveling, you just HAVE to go, you know. At least to tell yourself you did it. I can go to the top, I just can not look over the edge or look down, or close my eyes. It seems that I'm worse at distances closer to the ground (like a few feet) or several stories.
Maybe I really should take up my pdoc on his offer to "cure" me of this.
*Hmm... What does your Pdoc look like? I may be a bit suspicious of his approach! It may involve the approach where he would continuously show you pictures of spiders until you were OK with seeing it then introduce you to actual spiders. Forget that! I'd rather live in fear!

>But, I'd prefer not to humanize spiders because I don't feel a bit guilty killing the buggers and won't in the future.
I prefer not to humanize them either, because then I would feel really awful about stepping on them. One time I had an ant problem and I sprayed the ants with ant killer and then cried for about three hours. I felt so terrible. They were just in the wrong place (in the house). I wish I would have just swept them outside, they were right by the door. :(
> *Ok, now this is where it gets odd. I'm so terrified of heights, I can't step up on a step ladder to change a light bulb.
Neither can I. I start to panic when I get to the second step of a ladder. This is a getting a bit coincidental isn't it!
>I can't walk up a ladder on a slideWhen I was little my parents took me to the carnival. You know how they have that really super tall slide (it's usually yellow). Well, you have to climb up all those steps (usually about 50-75 steps) Half way up I was bawling my eyes out. I wanted to climb back down, but there were too many kids behind me.
I was so ill on the Eiffel Tower
You got to go to the Eiffel Tower? How fun! Too high for me though, even if I were travelling!
>*Hmm... What does your Pdoc look like?
He's sort of heavy set, with paleish skin and blondish hair (sorta bald on top). His hair is kinda long and curly (but NOT the unattractive type of long and curly). What I mean is that his curls are long, but not like a woman. I think he's in his early 50's. He's not a bad looking guy.
>I may be a bit suspicious of his approach! It may involve the approach where he would continuously show you pictures of spiders until you were OK with seeing it then introduce you to actual spiders. Forget that! I'd rather live in fear!
Yes, I think that is EXACTLY his approach. Which is why I said no the first time he offered!! Hehe!

Don't you have school in the morning? Now, I don't want to get a progress report in the mail saying you missed class because you were posting about lions and tigers and bears. OH MY!
Now, let us get one thing straight right here. Don't feel bad about killing bugs. They are not endangered species. There are countless amounts of these dreadful creatures. When you kill one, three more spontaneously appear in a distant region across the United States or in a foreign country (which I prefer to think is true). This is a law of nature I learned in Biology 101. Also, they are not born. They do not have parents, siblings, aunts, uncles or any type of relatives. Again, they just appear. This is one of those "unknown wonders" that science cannot explain and scientists are just too scared to get close enough to the creatures to investigate. Bugs are just here. They don't breed, they just appear. They only way to kill them is to squash them. And to do this you must have the right equipment. Now, you need:
* gloves (preferrably leather)
* steel gloves that welders use
* something heavy, like a coffee table, car, bookshelf (you get the idea)
* safety goggles (don't want them to jump in your eyes)
*construction helmet
*bullet-proof vest
* overallsNow, when you see one, DON'T make eye contact! If you do, then it will think that you are preparing for battle. Slowly, walk towards the room that you keep you equipment in keeping your eye on the creature, but not maintaining eye contact. Walk in a zig-zag pattern, much like a crab. This will show the creature that you are a friends, a species similar to it. Again, keep your eyes on the creature, but DO NOT make eye contact. Do not make a sound! If you shout, especially obscenities the creature WILL without a doubt attack! If you do, a battle will ensure and I promise you will not be the victor! (Side note: Nothing is worse than a spider caught in your hair!)
Now, when you make your way to the room with the equipment, work at a slow pace. Put on the equipment. By the time you are prepared for the battle, and return to the room, the creature will know who is boss (that being you of course) and will have retreated to a different home! You, being the victor in this battle can change back to your regular attire, or if you feel festive can wear this ridiculous outfit around the house. Feel free to relax, fix yourself a drink, knowing that the creature ran home to tell his friends to stay away from the crazy lady who dresses like a weirdo!

> Don't you have school in the morning?
Yes, I do at 8 am sharp! And I have to leave the house by 5:50. I frequently have annoying bouts of insomnia, or better yet, fall asleep for about 5 hours, wake up at 3 am and not be able to fall asleep again. Ugh!!
Now, I don't want to get a progress report in the mail saying you missed class because you were posting about lions and tigers and bears. OH MY!
Hehe, don't worry. I think I'm having a slightly manic episode because I am going on a rather small amount of sleep, and not feeling particularly tired yet. Must be the medication?
>There are countless amounts of these dreadful creatures.
Don't I know!!
Spider caught in my hair!!!!! OH MY! I couldn't take that. That would land me in the pscyh ward for a least a year. :)
