I have this vague recollection of watching this movie at my grandparent&#8217;s house. It was black and white, and there was this scene where this lady is feeding her baby and the giant spider leg comes down beside the window. All I know is that I become a bit unglued if I am confronted with a large and\/or fast moving spider! But then my fear battles with the Buddhist in me that says I should not kill living things, so if I can catch it and evict it, I do my best to do that. If I cannot, I apologize to it as I kill it.<\/p>\n<p>Going to the dentist is terrible to me. I am so afraid of the pain that I have anxiety before there is ever any pain. I think this stems from another incident when I was younger. I was old enough to go to the dentist on my own, he office was right at the end of the street. I had already been for the checkup with my mom, and I had a cavity that needed to be filled. So the appointment was made, and I walked down to the office. He decided that the cavity was small, so he did not use Novocain. It was painful, and I was quite upset. After that happened we never went back to that dentist, but that is mostly what I recall from childhood dental visits.<\/p>\n<p>A few months back I had a filling crack while eating a sandwich on whole grain bread, one of the grains did my filling in (I know it had been slowly chipping away prior to this, but I was just ignoring it.) My hubby called 1-800-DENTIST (who knew such a thing existed!!) and they found a dentist who took our insurance within about 1\/2 hour of where we were at the time. They also told them ahead of time that I was very fearful. Hubby was great, stayed with me the whole time. They used nitrous, which did help me relax, so I survived. I am still afraid of the dentist, but I love my husband even more for how sweetly he cared for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day seven Today the topic is things we are most afraid of.
