And I am afraid of the tips. It scares the crap out of me when people are holding them and waving them around without paying the slightest bit of attention to who else is around them. <BR/>Unfortunately, I can't hold them myself, because I have a very irrational fear of it shutting on me - claustrophobia? Maybe... but I'm not afraid of tight spaces like in caves. It's bizarre, really.Robin Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310818329765077382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1703139326157128643.post-66083462417004168642008-06-04T20:11:00.000-07:002008-06-04T20:11:00.000-07:00I was telling someone just yesterday about my irra...I was telling someone just yesterday about my irrational fear of umbrella "nipples". <BR/><BR/>I'm pleased to know I'm not the only person in the world with this issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1703139326157128643.post-74275316999348808232007-11-27T17:40:00.000-08:002007-11-27T17:40:00.000-08:00WOW.
