My grandparents had stairs like that in the basement, and I was always afraid something would reach through the gap and grab me.Heffalumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166154112206680302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-49723746842761838952007-10-11T10:12:00.000-08:002007-10-11T10:12:00.000-08:00I associate particularly with speaking and singing...I associate particularly with speaking and singing in public!

I can't swim so I don't go too far out in any water. I'd rather avoid eels, rays, public speaking or singing, going under the house, needles, or pain. Don't mind dragonflies, though, as long as they don't touch me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
