Bitchin Soul Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 That would be my kids. I constantly worry about them and "what if" something happens to one of them. They're all grown now, but from the moment I found out I was pregnant with each of them until today, and every single day in between, I have worried. I shared this with my mom, and she said "guess what, I worry about you too, it never stops no matter how old they get!" I don't know, maybe I'm just an obsessive/compulsive worrier. Exactly my thoughts. I do not think I have gotten a good nights sleep since daughter was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we don't have cockroaches in my area, but we sure have centipedes (the small ones). They have no fear of cats! Although, i know they resided here way before i moved in, so maybe it's too late? My fear lately has been finances. It's just so hard to live an unbudgeted lifestyle and pay the bills on time. Now i'm working overtime (which i despise) until i get caught up. Doesn't help that our country's financial status is in the toilet now, too. Thankfully i picked a great profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Hartman Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hey there, what's up with the attitude? Unless I'm completely not getting an inside joke or something, if so, then I'm sorry It was a wise crack of sorts as far as I see. Cat's and dogs don't scare off insects. If anything they attract them. I'm afraid of heights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMAZONIC Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I had to think about this for awhile to come up with something, so let's go through the list of things that have already happened in my life that I don't really fear as much any longer since I know what to expect somewhat. It's the unknown that really scares me I guess? I've had cancer along with major surgery, almost drowned a couple times, been set on fire, knocked unconscious(self inflicted) almost car jacked (he couldn't hang on long enough) had a gun stuck in my face, slashed by a knife, got caught up in razor wire, smashed my finger with a roofing hammer, had my fingernail pulled off by a ringer washing machine, got poison ivy in my eyes and swollen shut for 24hrs, been attacked by a dog, cat, bird and a squirrel. Crashed on a motorcycle and was stuck under it, had my knee split open by one of those old coffee cans you used to need a key to open. Caught in a severe storm in the middle of a bay and the boat lost power. Lost my job several times, homeless for a short time, hungry for a short time, nearly fell 100ft from an oil rig in the gulf of Mexico, nearly crashed with another helicopter coming off of a rig in the gulf, fell off of a two story house. Hurricane nearly destroyed my house and fought with the insurance co. for two years, wife went crazy(literally) and left with the kid and filed for divorce. Well that's the abbreviated version anyway so I guess fear of the unknown and dying alone would be the worst thing for me On a positive note I'm still alive, have a good job, a roof over my head, good family and friends here and elsewhere. Oh! and I've seen Led Zeppelin LIVE! Your intelligent and brave attitude towards the dramatic and sad events in your life combined with your strong personality are to be admired & taken as example, mate! This is for you, Dzldoc! http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=O_pOS9hXczE oh, I forgot! My biggest fear is SNAKES & WORMS (yuk!!these slimy creatures just make me sick ) . Can't stand them!
