1) I can talk to animals, at least most of them. There have only been a couple of dogs that I couldn't calm down, one of which the police shot several seconds later. Friday I talked a cat out of a 100' tree. Last chance before I sent the tree scaler up after him. Cows love me and horses relax when I talk to them.

2) Bats freak me the fuck out. I have a totally irrational fear of bats and the hint of a whisper of a squeak of a hint there is one around will turn me into a bowl of jelly quivering on the ground.

3) I have epilepsy, have had since I was 13 and have been on medication ever since. I'm seizure-free and drive but still live some of my life in fear. It affects every day of my life.

4) I'm having difficulty finding a woman who wants the same amount of interaction as I do. I don't want my life totally taken over, as I like my "my" time to read or think or nap or do nothing. I don't think that is weird, but apparently it is difficult.

5) Cool thread, Bertha.
