You crack me up, Brother. :)

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

Thought of another thing...

Those slug things that they put in the guy's helmets in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.


Those F****** things can go to hell. I would chew my own lips off in hopes that I would bleed to death before they got in my brain.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

I can only think of two things I am scared of... my wife and God!! I used to be scared of being in a situation where I was out gunned. Now I carry large so I ain't scared of that anymore!!

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

Needles (syringes and similar) and eye drops destroy me.

I can't get a shot or get blood drawn without going into a mild state of shock or a panic attack. I don't know why, but needles bother me so bad I can't handle it. Even if I look away.

It did get me a date once...poor nurse was scared she had killed me with a shot, she was freaking out. That was the last time I forgot to mention my phobia before getting stuck. :)

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

It is not stupid and is a real fear I have the same one my last operation I had to have a spinal, That and my lungs made it not safe to go under!

I also have to take Valium to enter a hospital and to my monthly doctors appointment, I also have panic attack try feeling like your having a heart attact but knowing it is in your mind, it still feels like it. the mind is funny.

I am now having chronic back, neck and hip pain an go thru 180 10mg hydrophones a month.

I understand and relate brother you are not alone!!! You ever want to chat just pm for my phone number, I also fear not being able to work which is very close to becoming real.

Good Luck!!

Heights higher than 20 feet. After that, it's not the height I'm afraid of ...it's the falling down part.

Never had a problem with needles...spiders, the usual.

Aside from heights, I fear only the following.
1. Kids, I NEVER want any.
2. Marriage, I hope never to be tricked into this.

That's it.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

Heights, but only the unsafe kind. Flying doesn't bother me a bit, but getting on a one story roof is out of the question.

And marriage as well. I've made it 35 years without it, here's hoping for another 50!

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

I discovered that same thing a week or so ago when I was up on my roof attempting to blow out my gutters with a leaf blower. I'd never been on a roof before. It wasn't the height so much as the getting back on the ladder part. It was a chilly morning spent up on the roof psyching myself up to get on the ladder to get down :D

I've lived thru this Dan. It's ugly. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

Airplane height doesn't bother me, I find the view fascinating! most building heights don't seem to bother me, and I can stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon or the Green River Overlook all day. However, when I was a teenager, and immortal, I once climbed to near the top of a huge, abandoned Coal-mining dragline boom. Was doing great, until a wind came along, and I happened to look down! I didn't freeze, but I went into super-SloMo on the climb down. Last time I attempted anything like that!! Something about being that high, all alone, and no safety gear! However, I can climb a 50 foot tower and rappel down all day long. Still, I cant imagine ever climbing a drag-line boom again (my fat arse aside!)

How about this one? It's my GTP. :p

A real man admits his fears. That's what I'm asking you to do here tonight. Who wants to go first?

I'm afraid of spiders, Coach.

I love that movie :) Not a great one but a lot of laughs

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

O_o Maybe that would make a great pet.....I wanted a Caracal someday or some exotic cat.

The dance scene in the prison was classic!



AIDS. that's gotta be pretty scary

Going Blind

Loosing sence of taste and smell, that would scare the shot out of any cigar lover.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

Spiders...I was bit by a Brown Recluse 10yrs ago and since then they freak me out. I had started to get over it and would even willingly get into crawl spaces but then last week I found two Black Widows under a cooler in my crawl space. That wire is not gonna get run for a while....


My other biggest fear now that I'm a parent is my kids getting hurt. I know every parent worries but sometimes I think I have lost my mind with the crazy **** I can imagine while I'm watching them.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

Been there done that.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

That would not be a good thing :su

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

Found out yesterday that since the two wisdom teeth in question came in fully and sit up nice and high like normal teeth... there will be no need to Put me under. He said it would literally take longer to give me a local and wait for it to start working than it would to actually remove the teeth...

Being as such, he did warn me about something that scared the bajeezus out of me again...

He said that sometimes when they pull a wisdom tooth on the top side... it opens up a hole into your sinuses... which can lead to infection... which... scares the crap out of me... my sinuses already have enough holes.

And then he told me that sometimes pulling one from the bottom can leave part of your lip and tongue permanently paralyzed... both of which I use on a daily basis and would prefer them to stay in good working order...

Dentistry is a barbaric practice... but necessary I suppose.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

I think it's time for a new Dentist. This guy sounds shady!

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

That right there is my one real fear... my friends used to think I was suicidal with the stupid crap I'd do, but now I'm exactly like this Albert it's like the imagination is stuck in overdrive on what is the worst possible thing that could happen.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

My biggest fear is being separated from my family during a disaster and not being able to get in touch/together with them (no cell phone service, etc.).

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

I saw some type of water snake when I was snorkeling out in Okinawa back in 99...scared the crap outta me!!! The strangest thing is even though I am afraid of stuff coming from under the water to grab me I'd still go out 1-2 miles in the ocean and snorkel with buddies.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

Clowns, all of them, they scare the hell out of me to this day!

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

When I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I got the same schpiel. I too was concerned because my teeth have a bad habit of having curved and/or twisted roots. After the teeth were pulled and everything was fine, I admitted to the dentist I'd been concerned about that aspect. My oral surgeon told me that it's rare that those things happen, but they tell everyone about it as a precaution against lawsuits. Kinda like those pharmacuetical ads where the listed "possible side effects" include death. It's unlikely that it'll happen, but if they've warned you against it and it does they're in the clear.

Personally, I'm not big on dark water. Used to swim at a lake at my grandparents' that is populated by gators. I learned to snorkle in the Gulf of Mexico, less than 3 miles from the pier where we used to watch fishemen pull in sharks. It trained a hypervigilence into me that sometimes blossoms into paranoia. I love the water, so I try to keep it in check, but sometimes I just have to get my feet back on dry land and calm myself down.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

That made me think of one...
When I'm diving in stirred up water and I get intent on staring at something on the bottom, then look up and see a giant "whatever it is" swimming ten feet away and I can't make it out.
It sends a shiver right up my spine. It's fun. :)

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

Yes, I am extremely afraid of heights too and got stuck on my roof once. It was worse because there were snakes up there and they are my second greatest fear. Horibble day.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

I'm not sure I would call it a "fear" because that implies some level of rationality, but... I'm a claustrophobe, especially with large crowds. It's not like being afraid of something that can legitimately hurt you, like poisonous snakes or falling off your roof. Intellectually, I know that I can't be injured by being in a small, enclosed space. But if I'm in one, I panic; crowded elevators are the worst! It bothers me that I have this visceral reaction to something harmless. It seems to have gotten worse with age.

Cheers,
G

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

I'm extremely claustrophobic but what scares me the most is the thought of having to carry on a conversation with any of my wife's sisters and most of her brothers. It is a mind numbing, IQ lowering experience that requires hours of intellectual stimulation to bring me out of my coma.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

I have some of the claustrophobia, crowd, and get vertigo at heights but I'm not afraid of these things just uncomfortable at a visceral level.

The only thing that really scares me is something happening to my kids like many have already mentioned. Particularly something involving long term illness or disability. I'm mean anything bad to your kid is bad but having to watch them struggle and suffer for a long time plus having to find a way to step up everyday to support them pretty much scares the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of me. Fortunately I don't think about it much and am not of a temperament to do so unlike my wife who worries about all kinds of random ****.

Good luck with all the dentistry. It amazes me how much surgery of any kind reminds me of advanced carpentry.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
 

Big time scares for are...

Anything involving the Dentist. I usually have to get the little blue pill before I go to just get a basic cleaning. I really hate bodies of water too, ocean, lakes, ponds whatever. Only things that I can really say bother me, because I get real bad anxiety. Nothing else does it for me.
