Do You Like Clowns?

That's interesting and I take no offense what so ever because everyone has their own reasons what ever they may be. I just wondered why one would hate them since I don't really care for them but I don't hate them either. Maybe it's because mom always loved them and seeing her smile at them made me comfortable with them. Or maybe I'm just plain weird. LMBO!!

I find it interesting. Trust me, I'm not offended in the least for everyone has their own reasons for feeling the way they do. My mom has always loved clowns and I guess from seeing her smile at them from a child on up made me not really like them but I don't dislike them either. I like some dolls but not a lot of them. Mom doesn't have a whole lot but more than I have.

Oh sweetie! I'm not offended in the least bit!! I just wondered why and what it is about clowns that some are afraid of. I grew up with them and seeing my mom smile at the sight of them I guess made me comfortable being around them. I do see your point though, you never know who's behind that face paint for it could be anybody and anybody hiding from the law and so on. Good point!

I completely understand for one year I went with my boyfriend (@ss) to see a Christmas horror movie because of an agreement that we had made. He knew I hated horror movies but wanted to see another movie instead so I agreed to see this movie called "Silent Night, Deadly Night" and it was about a boy saw his parents get killed by santa, he and his brother grew up frightened by santa but one got a job at the toy store and took over the job of santa and then went on a killing spree. It made me so mad that I left the theater without seeing the movie I wanted to see AND it ruined my whole christmas that year because I had an awful fear of people dressed up as santa. I couldn't go to the mall out of fear I'd run into one and if I did go, I'd jump out of my skin if one were near by. Thank God it only affected me for that one year. So yes I completely understand.

7 Christmas trees?? Holy Moly!! Wow!! Yeah I'd say that's a bit overboard but she's enjoying it so let her be. I do feel for you though for when the time goes and she's no longer, you'll have all that to sort through.
I can understand why people are scared of clowns now that it's been explained to me for I saw a christmas horror film one year called "Silent Night, Deadly Night" which made me fear santa claus something awful!! I couldn't wait for christmas to be over that year for every time I saw a santa I'd jump out of my skin. Never ever ever again will I see another horror movie. That one did me in good! I didn't want to see it in the first place by my dear ole boyfriend at the time talked me into it and boy did I live to regret it to this day.

Hehe, Holy Moly is right. I was down in her basement with her, I looked around and told her she was sentenced to life. She is not allowed to die and leave all that for me to take care of. All the ornaments each have their own box. They are all expensive too. The basement is decorated for Christmas year round, its too much work to take down and put back up. She also has a bunch of other snoopy things throughout the house. We always know what we can get her for gifts, she likes anything Snoopy.

I'm glad you're honest gabs, it's the only way to be!! And I'm not offended in the least either for everyone has a fear of something and yours is clowns and I can understand why now.

Gabs I agree with you a 100%. They give me the creeps.

That's sad Oreo because they're meant to make people laugh but it does the complete opposite to a lot of people. Did she see the horror movie called "IT" that so many are talking about? I haven't for I can't stand horror movies.

She started to, but when the evil clown was stalking that kid around the sewer she couldn't watch it. I watched it and read the book. that was a cool movie.

I had some clowns that were made of silk.. they had painted faces made of some sort of shiny ceramic.. and silk clothing. I had them on the walls and my daughter would freak out. I took them down.

I think they were meant to make people laugh not be scared of them but they obviously have the opposite effect to a lot of people. Some have told me that it was because of the horror movie called "IT". I've never seen it for I can't stand horror films.

I'm hearing a lot about the movie called "IT" which I've never seen since it's a horror movie. Not my cup of tea but I can understand people being afraid of them when a scary movie containing one.

So you don't have much of a sense of humor? Well that's ok, you're you and that's fine, not a thing wrong with that. I wouldn't want to be that way because life is too short to take seriously but then again, it's a case of to each his own, ya know?

Well, now, I have a sense of humor, it is just twisted. I laugh at things that people most times would not. I do my best not to take things too seriously. It is just that I have lost a lot in my life and I have been through so much Hell, that things are different for me than they are for other people.
