FQ1: What is the biggest fear you've had to face? Now that it's over, would it scare you to confront it again?
FQ2: What is your greatest fear that you've not yet met? If you were paid loads of money, would you willingly face it?
This sounds like a thrill seeking question and the answer should have something to with with flinging myself off a high building and trying to reach the ledge on the other side. I have so many fears it's difficult to imagine just one being the greatest.
I have a fear of falling. You cannot pay me enough to fall unless you can guarantee I won't compress all my organs, break all my bones, and split my head open all over the pavement at the end of the fall.
FQ3: What is something most people are afraid of, but you don't have a problem with? Why do you think that is?
I don't have a problem with spiders, after the initial fright of seeing something big and black out the corner of my eye. I also don't have a problem with mice, though don't make me deal with a rat. I know a lot of people who are afraid of both spiders and mice - I had both in my bedroom as a kid so I grew up with them.
FQ Movie Night: Your readers are looking for a thrill! What's the scariest scene from a movie you've ever seen?
No contest - the shower scene from IT. Oh it made me shudder just to type that. His white gloved fingers coming up through the drain, spreading it wide *shuddering* I was frightened in the shower for the longest time after that and had some of the quickest showers in my life during that time. Even after all these years, I get fluttering shudders at the thought.

Woosh Wireless calling
"Michelle speaking"
"hello Michelle, my name is Sonia and I'm callling you from Woosh. I'm phoning because you emailed Woosh about getting a wireless connection, and I'm happy to say that we now cover your area"
"You guys have great timing!"
"why's that, ma'am?"
"Because this week I signed up for Jetstream"
"oh Ma'am, you could still cancel that"
"well yes, I could, but why should I? I waited 8 months for you guys to contact me, and well - I got sick of waiting"
"we have a really good deal going at the moment, ma'am. Your first two months free."
"I'm sorry, but I've already decided on Jetstream"
"okay ma'am, just give us a call if you change your mind"
"Michelle speaking"
"hello Michelle, my name is Sonia and I called you a week ago about signing up with Woosh wireless."
"ah yes, I remember you, what can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if you'd canceled your Jetstream account and if you're ready to sign up with Woosh?"
"ah.. no.. I don't want to cancel my new account with Jetstream. I worked really hard to get that and I'm very happy with it, thank you."
"are you sure? Woosh means you'll be mobile. You'll be able to take your laptop out roaming, no wires."
"I understand the concept, but as I said to you last week, you guys just took *too* long getting back to me. 8 months is a long time."
"Ok Michelle, if you change your mind, give us a call we'd love to get you on board with Woosh."
"Michelle speaking"
"hello Michelle, my name is Glen and I'm callling you from Woosh. I'm phoning because you emailed Woosh about getting a wireless connection, and I'm happy to say that we now cover your area"
"oh, really? you know, I had Sonia from Woosh call me two weeks ago trying to get me to sign up with Woosh but i had just signed up with Jetstream"
"You would be able to cancel your connection and sign up with Woosh very easily ma'am"
"no, thankyou. I waited 8 months for you guys to get back to me and well, you just took too long."
"OK, ma'am. Good luck with your Jetstream, if you ever change your mind, give us a call."
"Michelle speaking"
"hello Michelle, my name is Karl and I'm callling you from Woosh. I'm phoning because you emailed Woosh about getting a wireless connection, and I'm happy to say that we now cover your area"
"well, karl, I have to say of the three Woosh representatives that have called me in the last few weeks, you by far have the best voice."
"*laughs* why thankyou. You've been phoned before?"
"Yes, two weeks ago and two weeks before that. The first one was Sonia and I told her that the week she called me I had just signed with Jetstream. Now, I am happily in Jetstream ADSL land."
"don't you ever wish you could roam around? don't you have a laptop?"
"Well, yes I do have a laptop but the fact that it took you 8 months to get back to me means you don't get my businss."
"Patience is a virtue, you know, Michelle."
"yes, karl, it is.. but I am no saint, that's for sure."
"OK Michelle, we're fun people here and we'd love to have you as a customer, so if you change your mind, give us a call we'd love to hook you up."
"Awesome, Karl, if I do I will give you a call. And I'll look forward to hearing from another Woosh representative in two weeks time!"
"*laughs* okay goodbye Michelle."
