Y'ALL. I'm over here (seriously) having a panic attack because I just saw a tarantula on TV. I have the BIGGEST FEAR OF SPIDERS. THE BIGGEST. EVER. I JUST CANNOT DEAL WITH THEM IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM!

WHAT ARE YOUR FEARS (IF ANY?!)

*SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT I CANT CONTROL IT AT THIS POINT*

Clowns. Clowns. Clowns.

I'm a big time coulrophibic. I blame the movie IT, which I saw at age 8. To this day, I cannot go to a circus or a carnival. The last time I went to one, a clown snuck up behind me and scared me so bad that I screamed like a girl and ran a mile in the opposite direction. Naturally, my friends laughed their asses off.

I second clowns- I can't deal with them

I also have a fear of dogs (even though people always want to tell me how irrational it is). When I was three, I gotten bitten on the face really close to my eye by my nanny's dog and they had to give me stitches that went from the corner of eye almost to my ear (I still have a scar you can see if you get close enough). Like six months later, I'm outside at my aunt's house and her neighbour's huge dog gets loose and runs onto my aunt's lawn where I am. I start screaming hysterically and try to run away and the dog- I guess thinking I want to play- chases after me and knocks me over face first on the driveway and the dog is like standing over me licking me. My family comes outside and they have to literally pick the dog off me and I've got a gash all down my face, a cut on my arm that I had to get stitches for, and a busted lip. I was so hysterical they had to give me a sedative and keep me in hospital for two days till I calmed down. These are are literally two of my earliest memories and ever since then, I can't deal with dogs. I actively go out of my way to avoid them at all costs.

Heights.

Always disliked them but able to handle to some degree in closed environments. But when I had a full on panic attack in the middle of a concert in 2005, while up on a mezzanine, I knew it had gotten worse. Couple it with wide open space and it gets worse, like I won't go out on the open deck of a ship. My co-worker and I have the opposite phobias--she fears enclosed places, must have aisle seating, being stuck in a train in the tunnel would be her worst nightmare. Me...I don't like aisle seating, travelling over bridges, being in the middle of a large body of water, my worst nightmare would be that tram accident we had in NYC some years back where the 2 cars were just suspended up in the air for hours.

SNAKES. I literally have the BIGGEST fear of snakes that sometimes I actually have nightmares about them, as a grown ass man. And when I get the nightmares I wake up in the middle of the night, have to take a cold shower and then strip the bed down and remake it to make sure there are no snakes in it.

It's crazy.

I also have a fear of unsecured heights. I'm fine with airplanes, roller coasters (love 'em!), etc. but if you put me on a platform or balcony or ANYTHING up high that doesn't have a railing or enclosure, I'm DONE.

I realize they are completely harmless... but these things STILL totally creep me out:

And one day when I got out of my truck, I looked down and saw a GIANT wolf spider about 3 inches across right on the door panel next to where my leg was. I got the shovel out of the back and smacked it!

    • Beth Ehlers thanked Beth Chamberlain by name from the mic saying she was THE BEST person to be in a triangle with.  Generally speaking I loved Judi's Beth but then also strongly liked BethC's Beth but I did not like the whole Lorelei stage!!! 
    • Yep, it seemed temporary, lasted 3-5 minutes, then BACK! Yea.  Thanks. 
    • Oh but those "Pharleys" were very adamant that they stay together and be featured everyday (though I did like their websites and the recaps they gave each day.) I agree, they were interesting at first, but the longer it went on the more Harley became this sad sack jealous wife, the more Phillip became a dumb Josh type character torn between two women and the more Beth became a pathetic looser chasing her ex.   I think after Beth came back it would have been an interesting triangle of three "good" people trying to find a way, and I did like the "Who killed Carl" and how Harley and Beth had to work together there, but we all know Phillip would have dumped Harley to get together with Beth, Harley would have been hurt but dusted herself off and moved on, and eventually Beth and Phillip would implode. They didn't bring back one Reardon or Bauer for Mo's funeral...did anyone think they would waste money and energy on poor sad Nadine?
    • I hate to be that person, but Monday’s episode was a mess. The editing was an eyesore—felt like multiple scenes got chopped mid-way through. Anita’s singing was completely over the top. And while TT can sing, something about her performance just felt off—her voice was actually kind of grating   Leslie’s motivations make zero sense, unless we’re supposed to believe she just thrives on chaos. Her smirking while her daughter got locked out? That was straight-up cartoon villain territory. Once again, the Duprees came off like a full-on mob—especially the girls, who acted more like petty mean girls than anything else. And don’t get me started on Kat and Eva. Their dialogue was repetitive and totally unrealistic. “We have opposite fairy tales”? Seriously? Give me a break.(not that literally though, I want my episodes daily!!)

    • Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. It is odd she wasn't asked back. Maybe they just gave up.  Harley/Philip is one of those relationships which lingered on longer than it should have. I never got the sense the show had any great interest in them together beyond the first six months or so, and there was little to no chemistry between them after that point.
    • If Leslie wanted to be super shady

    • I am just so happy with the new writing. Everything feels so much more mature. The connections between plots and characters reminds me of the eighties, and I just plain old LIKE everybody. I very much enjoyed Philip's apology tour with his two exes, and both of them being gracious to him. This version of Philip is so interesting, very flawed, but trying to do better, and I do believe he wanted the brother bond with Xander very much and is hoping to get that back. Speaking of brothers, we got Xander's first ever mention of his other brother, Bo. And how interesting that Titan is also working on a cure for sepsis. If the one with Dr Russell falls through we have a back up plan. And the seamless writing continued with Sarah trying to get out of a conference and Kayla needing to get Dr Russell out of town, I love when things just make sense like that. Shout out to Xander with cucumbers on his eyes lol And under the new regime I am not hating Stalex. I think this couple was just hammered by Ron by constantly making them sleep with other people. It was hard to root for them when the writer didn't care about them as a pairing, just about getting Rob naked. I am happy to see what happens here too. Stefan got a get well card to EJ? I wonder if it had a coded HELP ME in the message. Glad Kayla turned him down. She should never forget how he used Steve as a pawn back in the day. Characters are actually remembering this stuff these days.
    • That happens sometimes on cbs/paramount. Just refresh the page and it should work.
    • In a 1997 SOD article, Ehlers mentions that she was asked to return several times, but was surprised she wasn't asked to return for her "mother's" funeral.  This was when she returned for the 60th Anniversary event. They were a really popular pairing for a few years ago.  As an older viewer, it seemed strange seeing Beth as the odd one out, but 1998 Beth was a totally different character.  She was written as a manipulative, vixen.
