I guess it could be argued that fear of heights when standing on a tall building etc is rational, that's a hell of a drop, but getting funny when watching heights on a television would be irrational

Well that is why i had stated it a phobia, because i do have physical effects. but when i am on a mountain face i am focused, not anxious or scared.

I actually had a dream once where one was crawling up my chest while I was lying in bed. I was paralyzed (of course). I could feel it slowly moving up my torso and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Finally, I fought my way to consciousness. The trouble was, I was still feeling something on my chest. Moving. I jumped out of bed screaming, and stumbled to the light switch only to realize it was my hand. I was shaking with fear from the dream.or be sleeping.
I hate those ugly fuckers.
I used to inspect four towers quarterly - each is 685' tall, climb by hand each one every 3 months & to be honest after the first 75 feet or so you realize if you fall you're gonna die & climbing higher ain't going to make it any worse so you keep going.
One of my guys dropped a crescent wrench from the top & it went clean through the bed of our work pick-up.

Thats insane... Im not scared of heights, climbing that high, even looking down is not so bad... I think the part that would get me the most is knowing if you would slip and make one little mistake, that could be the end of you... Know what i mean??I used to inspect four towers quarterly - each is 685' tall, climb by hand each one every 3 months & to be honest after the first 75 feet or so you realize if you fall you're gonna die & climbing higher ain't going to make it any worse so you keep going.

Why do you have a porcelain doll phobia, do you know ? they kinda weird me out.
It's not really "Happy" excitement, I've ridden out a couple Hurricanes (the eye of Andrew went directly over my home immideatly after she made landfall) and believe me it is not all its cracked up to be. At one point during that storm a 10 or 12' two x four speared our concrete block house & made it out the other wall after going through a sofa & end-table !
As if that weren't enough interaction with big freakin wind, I used to ride ships in the Caribbean & when a storm came through our job was to tuck in behind the eye & follow it to landfall - the idea being if someone got into trouble and needed rescuing
*POOF* there we were.
