This week I thought I'd make my list about some of my irrational fears. Don't ask me to explain them, that's what irrational means.
1. Potato peelers--I like to keep the skin on my fingers, thanks.
2. The Dentist--(notice the capitol letters) I do go for a yearly appointment, but need a serious dose of laughing gas before I can even sit in the chair.
3. Bugs--Insents remind me of little alien creatures. How do they walk on those thin stick legs?
4. Snakes--Just one large writhing digestive tract. Yuch!
5. Clowns--NOT funny, unsettling and annoying at best.
6. Deep water--And everything that might be hiding beneath it.
7. Being buried alive--In this day of embalming this is pretty unlikely, but just in case, cremate me would ya?
8. Tight places--What's up with those cave sprelunkers? Getting trapped in a narrow tunnel just freaks me out.
9. Cheese Graters--See number one.
10. Spiders--Hairy little crawly critters.
11. Choking on a bone--I cannot eat meat that has skin or bones on it.
12. Hooks--Fish hooks, meat hooks, coat hooks....
13. Long stretches of deserted highway--Seen too many horror movies not to add this one.
Any you'd care to share?

What is in a Name?
What's in a Name?
I work with children and over the years have heard some crazy ones. Here's my Thursday Thirteen list of the most outrageous ones.
1. Kal-El--Yes, that's right. Poor kid was named after Superman.
2. Legend--That's a tough name to live up to.
3. ABCDE--Pronounced ab-sid-ee. Her big brother's name was LX.
4. Possum--Just like the animal.
5. Twenty three--The date he was born on.
6. Penisiluau--Pronounced Penny-si-luau. Proud Pacific Islander name, but all the other teen aged boys saw when they spelled his name was a party for dicks.
7. Neisseiria--Pronounced Nigh-seer-ia. Sounds beautiful until you learn it's the latin name for the germ that causes Gonorrhea.
8. Shithead--Prounounced Shi-theed. Honest, got it from a very reliable source.
9. Huckleberry-Dad was a Mark Twain fan.
10. Kidd--For the parent too lazy to choose a name.
11. Ellyptica--Exercise machine or physics term?
12. Caution--Would you date a guy with that name?
13. Oranjello and his twin brother Yellojello--Seriously. No joke.
I'm sure you've heard some doozies in your time. I'd love to hear them. ~~ Tess
