Comment on Getting By — With a Little Help from My Friends! by Touch2Touch

Fear of dentists is REALLY common. I know for me my childhood dentists were, what can I say? Outlaws? Sadists? Power hungry? But my latter-day dentists are very very nice indeed, and have a light touch, the opposite of those ham-handed dentists of long ago. Whatever the source, fear isn’t fun.
I do stepladders. That’s it.
As for flying — I’m afraid of it, but not due to vertigo. Due to fear of crashing! Well, maybe it is a little bit of vertigo as what I find so upsetting is turbulence, and that may be a balance issue also. I do fly when I have to, but I confess, I take a Valium equivalent.
Get you, flying light airplanes! How often do you get a chance to do that? Did you ever drive a railroad train? Or a bus? You have these unsuspected facets!
