what are you scared of?

[27th Out]

1)Snakes scare the crap out of me.
2)As mentioned before, death of friends and families.
3)Not being able to provide a good life for my wife and daughter. Make so many mistakes sometimes, I want them to be taken care of physically, mentally, and spiritually.

#! Heights - don't mind flying - but hate to get near the edge of cliffs or tall buildings on foot or in car. I am ok if I am in the middle of the room, but not at the edge.
#2 Afraid something bad will happen to my kids/wife - I can live with dying, though don't want to, but would have a hard time dealing with death of any of my kids or wife. Hell, my parents, 82 and 88, are still alive.
#3 Driving with bad drivers - absolutely hate to drive with risk takers and speeders.
#4 Impotence - sort of selfish, but I am almost 55 and wife is 29. Have talked to her about it bit. She is far less concerned than I am . (don't know if that is a good thing)
#5 Not having enough money - have lived a life of conspicuous consumption and counting on inheritance for retirement is probably poor planning
#6 Senility - I don't want to be old and feeble. This may be up there closer to #3.
For you younger guys, if you are anything like me, most of this will make no sense to you. I never worried about things like #3-#6 until I hit about 50. When you come to the realization that you are on the downside of your life, it is hard to come to grips with it at times. I have lived a fantastic life and done many things other people could only dream of doing, so I have no regrets. Watching my once strong and virile father deteriorate before me is very, very scary - a portent of things to come. And he is in better condition that the average man of 88.

i will try that because thats when they happen when i am on along highway drive alone,it really does suck. modren jazz helps me some will give the books a try.

next question i am like ferdville with the death i don't want to die but i don't worry about me inless i have the panic attack but i am at the point where i think i know i amnot having the big one after all kinds of test incluiding at cardic cath test at the age of 34. but why does the death thing bother people so much when it come to others. my mom has been sick for over a year good days and bad and dad is 79 had heart attack 4 years ago ran and worked out 5 days aweek for as long as i remeber and even more know with a rehab person,but i have that thought everyday that something is going to happen and when the phone rings late at night it scares the hell out of me,it can't be healty to worry like this everyday,i have strong faith in a higher power whom i choose to call god and i know i am not supposed to worry but i do?i know we have some very smart people on here and people in the med field,would like some feed backs because it drives me nuts,i take xannax 1mg 3 times a day just to stay calm,work out eachday for about 45 mins and 20 mins of cardo to get rid of stresser but its always there,anyone have a clue or worry like this. its nice to be able to open up to friends even if its not face to face this is something i really have never told anyone. great post

HEIGHTS, snakes, & hemmroids! Don't laugh, if you've been unfortunately to have those little bastards, you'd be scared chitless of the prospect of getting them again! If you can visualize trying to squirt out numerous pieces of jagged-edge glass, you'd be scared chitless as well. I'd preferably choose to tangle with a rattlesnake on top of the Empire State Building....

I'm afraid that I will never find someone to Love! To call my own! Someone I can come home to every single day for the rest of my life and Make love to that same person every day of my life and.........................Wait Just a minute..........that does not bother me one damn bit...........What was I thinking? GEEEEZ!

I'm Scared of losing it too quickly if you know what I mean! Damn I hate that for women. I always strive to knock that Spot!

there's only one thing for me and it's CHAINSAWS,3 years ago, on my wife's birthday, my mom asked me to help my uncle cut the tree down in the back yard, I was just getting ready to take my wife out to dinner. had to pause for a second,was just thinking about it. damn., and I was holding the tree from behind and my uncle was on the left side of me, and right at the end of cutting the tree the chainsaw hit a knot on the tree and swung back and ripped through my jacket hooked my lip went underneath and you know that little piece under your lip in the middle got cut in half ,hit a artery and then ripped through my right arm jacket. it happened so fast, when I saw it coming that I turned my head as if I was getting sucker punched. I took a step back with my hand on my mouth, and said fu-k. walked around to the front of the house and my wife came out of the house ready to eat. and when she saw me she started throwing up. I started to get dizzy,but for some reason I keep saying I was ok even thou I wasn't , and when I took off my jacket, the blood from my artery shot about 5 to 6 feet straight out, like a squirt gun. the ambulance pulled up and took me to the hospital. got over 60 stiches. was off work for awhile. now you can't even tell I was hurt. but the piece of skin under my lip is gone,and there is still a scar on my right arm. but I can't listen to a chain saw going in the neighborhood, or at work, or any where out side,can't stand it. sorry for the long story,but be very carefull when using them, and make sure KIDS ARE NOT AROUND WHEN PEOPLE ARE USING THEM:nono: all done ,next person.
