Encroaching Middle age and phobia development

[sevensuzyswongsaswimming]

As get older I find I am developing phobias hitherto unknown.

I've never liked chickens, but at the zoo yesterday the ibis birds that serve as pigeons here, were freaking me out and making me shudder; their nasty, nasty black scaly legs with the knees that bend backwards and their horrid bald scaly heads and ear holes. They really scare me. I never used to be like that.

And I find I'm not too keen on thunder these days either.

Anyone else getting weird in their old age?

Same here ... You start to think bits of you are going to pack in don't you?

I am 42 and still hold liquid in my mouth with equanimity.

it's truly terrifying
thirtY EIGHT
that's late thirties, nearly forty, old enough to be your mother,

At least I don't have a moustache yet

Sounds like your phobic hormone flow may be going the other way

Oh goody! I hope my hormones are reversing because I've always had a bloody moustache.

It's the Jewish blood. Show me a Jewish woman without a facial hair problem ...

Well, now you come to mention it

Yeah, but motherinfur, can you bite into French bread without losing your teeth?

I know, I know, but suzy, this could be the answer! I'm going to hit 40 and put all the hot wax kits in the bin. It's going to be great. Getting old is fun!

does that mean you're a spitter then MI?
