Needles on the other hand terrify me. And considering that I was in the Navy and had to get shots all the time....

I also have no tattoos. Not that I am against them...I actually thought about it once. But, I realized that there just isn't enough alcohol in the world to have me voluntarily let a needle get that close....

The odds are greatly against you being immensely smarter than everyone else in the field. If your analysis says your terminal velocity is twice the speed of light, the chances are better that you've screwed up than you've invented warp drive.

Needles have never bothered me. I think it's because I had so many immunization shots when I was a kid (flying to and from Korea).

I don't think I could give myself a shot though.

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Needles *shudder*...I've passed out several times when getting blood drawn and come close just getting a shot.

I have a blood disease now where my bone marrow is making way too many red blood cells and I have to get blood drawn every three months. I take a deep breath and look at the wall and count or sing to myself until it's done. But still, it's so hard to get through a session of that, but I haven't fainted over the last year, so that's good.

Oh I had an anxiety attack one day when a nurse had to stab me 3 times to draw blood...stupid nurse I told her I had a needle phobia but she was "training." Mind you much as needles terrify me I donated blood pretty regularly. I have low iron though so even though I drank my juice and ate my cookies I took 5 steps and was on the floor the last time I donated.

Needles don't bother me. In fact, I'm pretty sure I surprised a nurse when I had my pre-emplyment drug screen. This was years ago when they drew blood for it. I watched as they did it.

When I was pregnant with DD3, I was getting blood work almost every appointment (why, I dunno). Anyway it got to the point where I'd ask them them which arm they wanted.

I guess needles stopped bothering me when I was four and had to get a shot of Novocaine... in the scalp.
