Will Cate ayon kay ...

If you have a cat, keep it away from the coyotes, which consider cats to be yummy snack food.

Salamandyr ayon kay ...

I'm afraid of heights. And really, really closed spaces. That's about it.

hdhouse ayon kay ...

That is an exceedingly scary photo. Please stop.

Big Mike ayon kay ...

It's good to be respectful of skunks and poison ivy. Don't know if it makes sense to be frightened of them.

NotWhoIUsedtoBe ayon kay ...

There's a bear

KCFleming ayon kay ...

Beware the jabber walk, my son.

KCFleming ayon kay ...

That dog would look so fashionable in a $600 pair of Bermuda shorts.

Smilin' Jack ayon kay ...

If you go out in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out in the woods today,
But safer to stay at home.

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Crow fears.

Another, to scare the female crows.

New today.

rhhardin ayon kay ...

Beware the jabber walk, my son.

Be wordy job awoke mice awn

KCFleming ayon kay ...

The daughter's father looming on the porch is an effective scarecrow for teenage boys.

A well-placed principal can scatter a flock of teenage girls.

Just as an actual illness puts paid to imaginary fears, so an actual black dog encountered at dusk drives out "the black dog."

David ayon kay ...

Timely.

For the past few hours I've been assaulted by demons. God knows why. Every really bad thing that ever happened to me is rushing in and I can't push it out.

This is a exceedingly unusual experience but it's the third time it's happened this month.

This did happen to me sometimes as a child. I'd tell myself that it was a dream and I'd soon wake up.

I'm awake now.

Ick.

ricpic ayon kay ...

A teaspoon of Ipecac will drive out those demons, David.

john ayon kay ...

Where did Victoria go? I remember her saying she was reducing her comments, but it seems her blog is now gone.

Anyone?

The Dude ayon kay ...

Her website, Sundries, has not been updated in almost 2 months.

NotWhoIUsedtoBe ayon kay ...

^ Dunno. Hopefully she found something better to do with her talents.

Constant internet use is a waste of time. I should be writing something else.

Palladian ayon kay ...

HEY, HEY, MAMA, SAID THE WAY YOU MOVE
GONNA MAKE YOU SWEAT, GONNA MAKE YOU GROOVE

traditionalguy ayon kay ...

David... Did the demon oppression start about the time Maxine went missing? Only Maxine could bring up every really bad thing that ever happened to you. Try telling her to go away.

Laura(southernxyl) ayon kay ...

David:

Beta blocker. Ask your doctor.

I'm afraid of exactly the same things Salamandyr is. But I want to go to Mars in that mission they're planning. I'd go even if I knew I wouldn't come back.

Freeman Hunt ayon kay ...

Let's see... fears...

Here's one:

That the West has lost confidence in its liberal ideals and is now descending into statism. That the US was the last holdout, but it's headed the same direction, only more slowly. That soon there will be no free place on Earth, and that it will be so for a thousand years.

There's a fear.

traditionalguy ayon kay ...

Here in Georgia it's mosquitos that come out at twilight. Do Ohio mosquitos bother you or the dogs much? They seem to go after warmer animals faster.

Jennifer ayon kay ...

I fear this picture.

Chip Ahoy ayon kay ...

I'm afraid Holly just wants to check out every little thing and say "Hi there" to everybody.

Dad Bones ayon kay ...

Trees...Steven King would like this one.

Michael Haz ayon kay ...

Chip, brilliant, as always.

Bob ayon kay ...

Lions, and tigers, and bears...Oh, my!

NotWhoIUsedtoBe ayon kay ...

BIG LEGGED WOMAN AIN'T GOT NO SOUL

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

I got a gypsy woman giving me advice
I got a whole lot of tricks keeping here on ice
.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

Hey is that Freeman?

Always nice to hear from you.

Revenant ayon kay ...

That is an exceedingly scary photo. Please stop.

That actually IS a sort of scary photo. It has sort of an Edward Gorey feel to it for some reason.

Freeman Hunt ayon kay ...

I seem to be the only person who looked at the photo and thought, "Oh, pretty trees. And look, there's that sweet dog they're always hanging around with."

kjbe ayon kay ...

Freeman, I thought the same thing.

My second thought, after reading the comment, was a reminder of the solution my daughter and her cousin came up with when faced with a very dark walk back to our cabin, in Canada, a few years back. They started singing the theme to Indian Jones - and all was well.

Meade ayon kay ...

Chip: That is superb! Thanks.

David ayon kay ...

Much better today.

hdhouse ayon kay ...

The picture still freaks me out.

Ralph L ayon kay ...

"It has sort of an Edward Gorey feel to it for some reason."
That was my reaction. The doggie especially looks like one of his.
