I'm crushed! FYI - Kat does NOT drive on those bridges everyday, she drives MILES out her way to AVOID those bridges because she is deathly afraid of them!!! I still can't believe you didn't tell me you were driving through - hmptph!

Stuff bothers me that never did before... I don't know why, but yeah, I worry that it will just get worse and worse and one day I'll be some crazy lady afraid to leave the house.... <em><strong>Yeah but.... if that DID happen... you'd still have contact with all of us!</strong> </em>:) I don’t know why, but I freak out about things way more now, as I get older.

Did I mention that I JUST had the van worked on before I left for Texas? Me thinks maybe something was NOT done correctly... now there's a scary thought. Yeah…. the brakes.

I don't deal with heights or heavy traffic. I received an e-mail, it was this mountain with this walking path built into the side of the mountain, and there was just this little bar rail on the side and alot of the path was missing, anyway this person video taped their hike and I couldn't get through it. My heart started beating really fast, butterflys in my tummy and my breath was coming in bursts, I got dizzy and finally had to shut it off. <em><strong>Oh my goodness Tracie! That sounds soooo like something I would do - watching a video and stressin' over it! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in this kind of anxiety!</strong></em> I am SO there with you!

I get anxiety attacks on the Dallas highway system, also..I have since I was in college! And my folks lived down there for a while.. so I drove it a lot.. but it still, now, causes that anxiety.. I think it's all what we get used to. But, I know that system is just sooooooooo confusing that it's worse than anywhere else! Even Mobile and New Orleans didn't do that to me!! It's the Texas highways.. I don't really think it's heights for me.. cause I can freak out without actually being on the spaghetti, yet! My bff used to talk me through there, or make me stop so she would drive it!!LOL I have to have it totally quiet, no music, no talking! I never have this problem anywhere but there! I'm so glad to know others have the same trouble! Glad your hubby was there to drive them going back! Next time, try to map it out to avoid them...:) hugs, Jean <em><strong>Wow... really Jean? I didn't realize that Dallas roads were WORSE then others... I just thought it was because it has been YEARS since I was exposed to that kind of overlapping spaghetti roads and I didn't use to have ANY anxiety issues.

We have a lot of them here in the Portland area. That is why I hate driving through Portland, and Mitch does! Glad that you made it home safe. I am sorry that it might be the brakes, but hopefully it isn't a terribly expensive fix. But a girl with that many miles on her, is going to need some tender loving care. Her feet get tired, too! ;-) <em> <strong>True, so true.. she is an old girl with a LOT of miles on her. But.... her feet were JUST massaged before I left.

True, so true.. she is an old girl with a LOT of miles on her. But…. her feet were JUST massaged before I left. I think that Mr. Mechanic didn’t do *something* correctly.

I hate that because of your trip to see ME you had to experience even more anxiety episodes. I'm so sorry! :( <em> <strong>No no.... don't worry.
