Do you have a phobia?

This is the bad thing about living away from the city. Happened just now. It’s 3:44am and at that time, in this house, it’s like a box of chocolates — you don’t know what you’re going to get (or see on the wall) Got up to get a drink of water and saw this (smaller but still big) on the wall.

I have hesitated greatly over sharing this, but I have a fear of gas stoves. I can handle gas grills and gas ovens, but the idea of using the burner is terrifying to me. I think I know the origins of this fear, but I did have to confront it when I moved to Chicagoland. There were gas stoves both in our first and current apartments.

I thought I had tamed the fear until fairly recently. I use the oven, and an induction burner and that works for me. I have a tempered glass atop the burners, and that's where the induction burner is.

I somehow caught my top on the knob marked Power Boil. The flames shot up several inches, and while my top didn't catch fire, I completely freaked out - screaming and crying like a maniac! Let's just say that Dear Husband now realizes that my fear is every bit as genuine as I had feared.

OH my gosh that is scary, but I'm glad you were ok.

Thank you. I still breathe heavily when I think about it!
