One thing is always that one of the most widespread incentives for using your credit cards is a cash-back or even rebate supply. Generally, you will get 1-5% back with various buying. Depending on the cards, you may get 1% back on most purchases, and 5% back on expenditures made at convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores and also ‘member merchants’.

I loved this! I have a portion of my blog title “the Panic Room.” I try to update with my own experiences as well as scientific studies. I happen to be exploring a bit about agoraphobia as it relates to panic disorder. Indeed the definition of being agoraphobic is the fear you might have a panic attack in an area where it would be embarrassing, escape cannot occur, or help is not available. I am definitely a phobiaphobic. I found it amusing!!By the way–the cartoon depicts me on any given day–I also work for the government! Maybe that is the real problem!

"It’s interesting to look at a list such as the Phobia List and wonder if somebody really has that fear, or are they just coining words." I've wondered that myself with the phobia names and the names for groups of animals. When I was in school a teacher read us a book called something like "An Exclamation of Larks" with all the names for groups of animals and it really caught my fancy. Thanks for bringing back that nice memory! Tracy’s last blog post..I am Learning the Social Web Media Networking 2.0

D, thanks for dropping by, and thanks for commenting!

Yes, labels stigmatize. I had not thought about the stigmatizing effects phobia labels have, but you’re right, they do. Even an attempt at humor, such as this post, serves to stigmatize others to at least some extent.

I have strong feelings about the stigma of mental illness, as witnessed by the several posts I’ve written about it. It’s a sign of the deeply embedded culture in all of us that I can joke about phobias, which plague many, many people worldwide.

I’ve learned my lesson, and will not be flippant about phobias again! Thank you for helping me to realize the effects of phobia names.

I think these specific phobia names are throwbacks to the days when all quirks of mental illness were labeled (and used to identify people). The terms are stigmatizing. The media likes to use them to describe people, but the labels are too simplistic. Just my thoughts at least :)http://iamlivingwithanxiety.blogspot.com/
