irrational fears?
We all have irrational fears growing up...
I had/have quite a few that I can recall..
One of those fears took a sharp turn toward rational yesterday

Ouch, are you ok?
of course Im ok..
Just gonna grip the steering wheel a little tighter when crossing bridges from now on
i love bridges since i was a little girl...they're so grand and majestic...but it always seemed strange to me how just a few metal poles and cement can hold up so many cars and trucks...
I totally have a fear of bridges - and tunnels - I hold my breath when I go over them! So if its a long bridge or there is traffic.....watch out!!
uhu...cuz gripping the wheel is gonna keep you safe. hope everyone reads this so they know:)
open...
yea..they are majestic..
..to look at..
tr8er...
ahh that was YOU?
I have no problem with tunnels..
Im also scared of heights..so that might have something to do wtih it.
fajita...
heh
well..not everyone has the fancy car I have..if anything happens I just pull on the wheel hard...and lift off...
Life is slightly more fragile than we would like to think.

My husband took this opportunity to try to convince me that his is why he needs a Hummer. Ha!
Actually, we were both really saddened for the families and it was quite a reminder of how random and fragile life really is.
spelling...
oh thats for sure..
Thanks..
mizellie...
Hummer? Maybe an amphibious car..
David - Clearly you've never seen the promotional video for the Hummer where it rises majestically from the river, climbing piles of debris at a 35 degree angle......
ellie...
good observation
:-)
i haven't watched TV in a while, but i saw this on the news... terrifying...
and if you want to get scared, just ride with my dad at the wheel... his driving skills and comments are enough to make almost anyone stay home... he'll mention these great ideas on how terrorists can destroy various structures while we're driving thtorgh them... thrilling...

well then thats a rational fear...
it's frightening... but the event didnt make it one bit more rational that it was before.
it aint the first bridge on earth to collapse, an at the same time, there are millions and millions of bridges that stand today... and wont be falling in your or your childrens' lifetimes.
chana...
I do know that...thats why I said..
"took a sharp turn toward rational.."
Eek. I've never loved bridges myself, but never really had an "irrational fear" about them. Maybe now I will...
Dreamer -- Sounds almost like my dad... he's into chazzanus... one day we're driving through the mountains in a downpour, visibility zero, and he's humming "Me bamayim, umi bo'aish...." brrrrr
