Okay, you'll get pics, but only 'cause you asked so nicely. AND because my weightlifting/work outs have paid off and I'm becoming a badass !!

I've heard of that! As far as freaky disorders go, that's sort of a cool one.

aaawwww that's kinda sucky!

some bad incident when a kid?

I was never good enough to be in the Ocean for swimming!

But i remember our dad taking me & my sis to float over the waves as they built up. But one knocked me & my sis underwater as our dad held on.
My eyes were open all I saw as murky green.
I NEvER went over my knees mid-thighs basically in the ocean....ever since I got tall old enough to go alone.

Both my parents were good enough swimmers to both go in the ocean!

I saw Jaws when I was too little, maybe 5. Don't know where the indoor pool fear came from though

I like the idea of ocean swimming and even did LOTS of snorkling when we went to Hawaii. But I was assured that where we were, sharks were pretty rare. But the 1st day out, I made MrZ swim holding my hand!!! Not an easy task. He eventually floated off and a wave pushed me into some coral. I started bleeding and thought SHARKS!!!!!! Practically RAN out of the water!

[random] You shouldn't swim in the ocean if you have your period. Sharks can smell it. Crazy, eh [/random]

It's just been one of those weeks, stretching into two or three, unfortunately. I have a whole laundry list of things that have gone wrong ranging from relatively minor to medium to pretty bad. I won't bore you with the smaller stuff. The worst two though are that my mom was diagnosed with diabetes on Friday, and my brother's wife is having a biopsy done on Monday, and I'm concerned for her.

Thanks for asking.

OMG that's so cool!

Synesthesia ~~ fascinating stuff and there's a bunch of varieties of sense combinations!

a dear friend had a bit of it as she described it to me in her ? teens? But then it faded as she discovered no one SHE knew had ANYting like it. to her.

You'd better, missy. I don't do threads. In the past 3 1/2 yrs, I think I've made two, and that was only to shut the others up.

Actually, one thing did. The thing that started this whole miserable chain of events nearly two weeks ago is that I lost my set of keys (and probably worse, the only working remote keyless entry thing for my car), but I found them a couple of days ago. :relief:

thanks Dazz, it's going to be rough. The doctor called her at home earlier this evening to ask her what she wants to do about it, because when she saw him last week, she made it sound as though she doesn't want treatment.
