Love your answers! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I had to google what emetophobia is and I have to say that my OCD caused me the same anxiety. I have one other friend who has the same thing so you are not alone! I now know what to call it. I’m not nearly as bad as I used to be. How cool is it that you are related to the Wright brothers. That’s awesome!
Gosh, too bad you don’t still live in Floriday, we could be really good friends! I have 2 ex’s, emetophobia, 2 adult children, a sister (and a brother much older than I who I don’t speak to), Salty and sweet but you can have the Pepsi, I’ll take my Coke! Loved getting to know you and keep on scrapping, I love your artwork! (You are an artist by the way, just so you know!) 🙂
