Very scary. Allison, I used to run and JUMP into bed, not letting my feet get too close to the edge.... Found out the other night my youngest daughter does it, too!! Cele, I don't like snakes, either, although I can handle them on TV, even though they give me shivers. And I know what you mean about losing a beloved child. Can't even cope with THINKING about it.

To what extent people don't know...except my husband. No snakes on TV, I hide my face through half of Survivor when I watch. In magazine... now why would a person put the picture of a snake on... 1) the cover or any page inside a magazine? why? 2) in a TV ad? 3) Painted, posted, or muraled on the side of a building? 4) on a book cover...really you just lost a large portion of the population from reading your book. In movies you often have a clue...but 1) the scene from Lonesome Dove gave me nightmares for months. 2) Disney's the Living Desert kept me from going to the school movies when I was in grade school... I was certain there were snakes in the cafeteria... you know they crawled out of the movie. Losing my grandson. I am pretty much resigned that I will lose people I love in my life. My father passed in December, but I know that he is still with me. My faith helps me resolve and endure their loss. But losing my grandson sends me as close as I've ever been to panic attacks. I can't deal with the thought. Snakes, yeah everyone knows I am terrified by snakes. To what extent people don’t know…except my husband.

I'll keep praying for you and him! My greatest fear is losing one of my kids. I can burst into tears at times if it hits me when I don't expect it. Spiders, snakes and bugs scare me, but I've gotten better since I've had sons who don't seem to have a problem with them. I don't like them, but if I'm not surprised, I don't get scared. When I was little, I couldn't sleep with my foot over the edge of the bed because I thought something would grab my ankle and pull me under. I also couldn't sleep unless my closet door was closed. I used to love scary movies. Now? Not as much. Though good ones I still love. I very much enjoyed 1408 with John Cusack. Holly, thank God that your son is on the mend. I’ll keep praying for you and him!

He has to see a GI specialist, but the pediatrician feels we caught the problem early and she is confident that we can treat the condition. Thanks again ladies for all the positive thoughts and prayers. I know they did the trick! I got the results on my son’s test.

They can become more aggressive than a dog on its own. Especially the pit bull. Unleased dogs in pairs can exhibit a pack mentality. They can become more aggressive than a dog on its own.

Makes me short of breath. I also cope by needing to feel in control of my environment.

Still waiting for more information. Very sad case. He had a ten-year-old son.
