Always hated being tall. Didn't start appreciating it until I was in my 20's.

i have one or two little spiders that i noticed living in my home... but i don't get rid of them hoping that they will keep the other bugs out.. does anyone else do this?.
The little, teeny, tiny ones don't bother me. The big ones are another story. I live close to a river, and when the river gets high, big WOLF SPIDERS run for the hills and into my house. Those things are FREAKY and I'm afraid of them. My husband is afraid of them, too, which is not a good thing. (Aren't men supposed to kill the spiders in the house?)
But, what you are afraid of, you are fascinated, too. I will be the first one to watch a spider show on Discovery and have seen Arachnophobia three or four times.
I once almost swallowed a daddy long legs on a camping trip. It landed in my beer. Fortunately, I had a good enough buzz to pull it out of my mouth and not freak. Don't like them much, either.

White Castles and onion chips are the BEST at 3:00 a.m. when you have a good buzz. Ahhhhhh. The memories. Don't have them in West Michigan, have to buy them frozen. Always stop when I'm down in Hoosier country.
Around her, Taco Bell. None of that new stuff. Bean burritoes and taco supremes. Bring on the BEANO!

my first rollercoaster ride was 25 years ago.
the racer at kings island.
it was alot of fun and for whatever reason, that was the last time.
LW - I didn't realize that Holiday World had gotten so BIG! When I lived in Indiana, it was Santa Clause Land, and I don't think it was much more than kiddy rides.
<sigh> I still miss Indianapolis after all these years.
GH, the genuine Hoosier

LW-
My first coaster ride was the Racer at King's Island too! But, The Beast is the Best!
I LOVE coasters and Cedar Point is the absolute best place to go for them. We went about 3 years ago, the first year the Millenium Force was open. I thought I was going to ride it, but after looking at that thing up close, NO WAY! I'm getting more chicken as I get older. I'm also always afraid I'm going to lose my glasses on the big ones!

you know those people who pepper their conversations with phrases that were fashionable once but now - it's just plain annoying!.
probably the phrases travel the world.
"at the end of the day".
I think "my bad" is supposed to mean, "sorry about that, my fault". It bugs me too.
What about "it's not the heat, it's the humidity".
the recent superstition thread got me to thinking.
growing up i was terrified of "demons".
sometimes when we would have witness gatherings they would start in to "demon" stories.
Country Girl, I'm sending you a PM!

Country Girl, you make me laugh! I also lurk around cemeteries at night, walk around abandoned insane asylums and investigate haunted houses. I LIVE for something supernatural to happen! Actually, some unexplainable things have happened to us, but nothing as earth-shattering as some of the stories I've read on this thread.
To LA Big Dawg - Yes, Country Girl and I are those people you see on The Discovery Channel. Walking around dark places with cameras, tape recorders and EMF detectors. In fact, one of my group members was actually a guest on "Coast to Coast".
In our group, we are lucky enough to have a clairvoyent. At first, I was skeptical, but now I believe she is the real deal. Funny thing, she was raised a JW and left the borg, and her parent's house, when she turned 18. We met by chance and neither of us knew the other had been a JW until we got to know each other. Anyway, she says that she has been able to communicate with spirits pretty much all her life. Of course, when she was a child and told her parents about it, it was the DeeeeeeMeeeeeennnnzzz speaking to her. She said that she just knew that it wasn't true, even when she was little.
But, she DOES believe demons exist, which kind of shocked me. Me, I'm not so sure. I DO believe in evil spirits, though. Just as there are good and evil people, there are good and evil spirits.
Sirona, you are absolutely correct about that article. What a load of crap. The pagans that I know do NOT worship the devil, or anything else malevolent for that matter. They do not do make bad things happen to people or go around casting evil spells. They are actually very spiritual people, much more spiritual than most Christians I know.

Thanks OC! Guess I missed that thread. Been real busy at work and not keeping up.
I'm from Indy and my best friend lives there. Accommodations would obviously be free and, hopefully, IGT (Indiana Ghost Trackers) will have something going on the same weekend. Would that be cool or what!
Downtown Indy is AWESOMELY cool! Someone mentioned The Slippery Noodle. Supposedly, it's haunted and I would LOVE to check it out and party!
