Fears....

[RPlank]

grizzly bears...if i were gonna die young...thats how i want to go out. getting mauled by a grizzly. imagine the rush of being charged at by such a massive creature! ok im sounding a little too psycho...i have to sleep.

Mike, the only "rush" involved in being charged by a grizzly would be the rush of urine leaving your bladder and entering your pants!!!!

OK, this is interesting. Here's mine:

- something terrible happening to my kids. I can't get more specific because it would tempt fate.
- buildings/airplanes/etc. falling on me. I'm fine with falling on them, but not them falling on me. Hence, depths are a much bigger problem than heights.
- being buried alive, therefore my instructions to cremate me when they *think* I'm dead.
- not exactly a fear, but I hate certain bugs including roaches, big spiders (little ones are fine and can stay in the house to eat other bugs), and *especially* millipedes. Yuck!
- microscopic organisms. I'm not an obsessive-compulsive hand washer or anything, but if I somehow get to thinking about all the tiny critters all over me and everything I touch, I get a little freaked out. This one comes directly from the episode of "Northern Exposure" where Janine Turner's character was learning about Anthony Edwards' character's medical fragility and why he had to live in a sterile atmosphere and they showed photos of microorganisms and gave numbers on how many there are all over you and your pillowcase and everything.

Yeah, see, now that I think about it, all those things that Marla mentioned do drive me crazy. I just didn't want to get into detail. But since she did it for me...DITTO!

hey guys, i thought of something... i have a terrible fear of my family and friends dying.

[emroul]

Yup, that too.

Man I might as well go live in a hole.....

[Wizill]

lol, jennifer the scaredy cat .

[emroul]

It's not my fault! :lol:

[Marla]

LOL, Jennifer. We'd make a good team, eh?

[emroul]

Remind me never to go on a camping trip out in the middle of no where with you, Marla. LOL, we'd both get eaten alive by something... :shock: lol...

[Marla]

LOL ... probably. I have gone camping and fallen off a waterfall, but all in all, that wasn't as bad as hiking for days with very little clean water available. I think I'd have trouble camping anywhere big hairy spiders could be found just walking around, though! I definitely wouldn't get any sleep! :roll:
