    I wouldn't say I'm scared of dying. But I am concerned about not having enough time to accomplish everything that's important to me. So I suppose running out of time is one of my fears.

    Have to agree - spiders! I can tolerate them if I see them, but if one jumps/lands on me I scream like a little old lady (with all due respect to little old ladies.....).

      Interesting that so many warriors list spiders as their big fear.

      Well, they say confronting your fear is one way to conquer it, so in that spirit I invite all arachnophobes to check this out:

      Play With Spider - Flash 3D - OneMotion.com

      Play with the critter. Drag him around with your mouse. Use your spacebar to feed him bugs. You may even grow to like him.


      But I warn you - this could either be therapy or your worst nightmare

            Here in Australia we have this terribly vicious dog ...

            ... the short-legged, long-nosed bare-skinned hound

            Now Bazza had heard about this legend and didn`t
            think it would worry his hunting dog ... Chunk

            Bazza went searching and heard there was a couple
            up in NQ (North Queensland) still so off he goes ...
            as Kickatinalong isn`t on the map he knew it was
            gonna be tough.

            Anyway, after months of false leads, wrong turns and
            way to many pubs in every QLD town ... Bazza finally
            tracks down the alleged owner of two of the finest
            specimens alive ... so the legend goes anyway.

            Bazza meets with this man ... Gazza ... and yes he
            does in fact own two very cantankerous short-legged,
            long-nosed bare-skinned hounds ... so Bazza lays down
            the challenge ...

            "Ya wanna `avago mate!?" says Bazza

            "Yeah I`ll `avago ... mate!!" says Gazza

            "Roight then! My dog Chunk will clean up your mutt
            quicker than meatants on a cut toadfish ... mate!" says Bazza

            "... yeah roight! maaaaaaaaaaate ... ya can throw ya
            mutt in the pen with the most cantankerous one so it`s
            a quick kill ... her name is Petal" says Gazza. "Ya
            can`t go in the pen though ... unless your the main
            course"

            After rolling about the ground laughing at the dog`s
            name for ten minutes, Bazza jumps up and agrees.

            Gazza said he`d open the gate for 3 seconds only
            as he didn`t feel like being dessert ... off they go
            to the enclosure where Petal lives.

            16 foot solid concrete walls ... Bazza was told anything
            shorter, Petal gets out ... and mesh fence was like trying
            to pen wild buffalo with spiderwebs.

            Gazza is ready ... Bazza is ready ... Chunk is more than ready!

            The gate opens and Chunk flies in growling and barking
            hysterically ... then what could be only described as a
            terror-filled yelp ... cutoff halfway through ... then the
            sound of crunching bones

            Bazza was stunned beyond belief. He knew his best mate
            in the whole world was now ... gone ... all in less than 20
            seconds. How could this happen to a 270 pound lion killer?

            "Geeeeeez that took awhile ... :rolleyes: ... must be a tad cool" says Gazza

            "What the $#@!? Took awhile!?? Crikey ... ya gotta tell
            me all ya know about this breed and tell me how to get one!" says Bazza

            "Well I don`t know to much about the short-legged,
            long-nosed bare-skinned hound" ... says Gazza

            "We usually call `em crocodiles tho ... maaaaate"

    Snakes all the way. Went out to look over a parcel of land last Sunday
    and heard a rattlesnake before I'd taken five steps. Couldn't get back in
    the truck fast enough. We have three kinds here in Fla. All nasty. The
    Pygmy Rattlesnake is the smallest, most aggressive and doesn't rattle.

    Ha! Loved it! I must've played with that spider for ten minutes!

    I grabbed it by one leg and swung it back and forth really hard to see if it would fall off, but nope! It hung right on there, and it really was fun to be so cruel to the nasty little thing!!!

    Valerie, go over there and play with that spider! It's a blast! You'll love it!

    Yikes, I'm glad you're over on the other side of Earth. You and your pet spiders can stay over there. It's bad enough they have tarantulas for sale in pet stores YUCK! That yucky thing is almost as bad as a tarantula.

    And no ThomM, spiders are not our friends. You can just stomp on bugs or have an exterminator come and spray that stuff so no bugs come inside. Spiders can stay deep in the woods and shouldn't come near people. And you can't just stomp on spiders cause then you'd have a giant flat spider glued to the bottom of your shoe and would have to throw the shoes away and get new shoes. Not to mention the loud gross crunching sound.

    Sorry Val - I'm with Indy and Thom on this one.

    If you go after a spider it shows fear - it will either run like hell or scrunch up all small and afraid - yet you could kill something showing that it is afraid for its life? They get in the house and are inconvenient - so I put a glass over them then slide a piece of paper under the glass and take them outside where they have food and a chance to survive freely.

    Why do people want to murder something just because it is strange looking to us? Yes some of them bite - but considering all the people that will kill them just because they have spotted them they need to be able to do something to protect their little lives.

    Do you also murder people who look a little strange or ugly?

    I know first hand how nasty spider bites can be. They take years to heal.
    Still I would rather they be around than not as they do kill alot of other bugs.

    Same as bats,(which seem to have disappeared around here)they are greatly useful and frogs! Where the H are the frogs?

    How about those wacky Hill folk that use serpents during their "church" meetings and their speaking in toungues.

    I was in the army in Georgia and our sgt blasted a big ass snake just feet from me with his pistol. Scared the grap-o-la out of me.

    HeySal, what about poisonous spiders like black widows and the brown recluse spider? You don't get too friendly with them do you? What about the ones that bite instead of run away?

    My grandfathers brother lost the toes on one of his feet cause he was bitten by a brown recluse spider. The thing is, he never even saw the spider. After having pain and then his toes turning black he went to the doc who said it was a spider bite and had to have his toes amputated and if he waited, it would have to have been his whole foot.

    Have you seen that show Arachnophobia? I was around 10 when I saw that and was traumatized for like a week afterwords. I wouldn't put on shoes before shaking them upside down, wouldn't put my hand under a lampshade, wouldn't get under the covers before an inspection to make sure there was no spiders lol. I was terrified there was a tarantula hiding somewhere lying in wait to bite me.

    I have one rule: my space versus your space.

    If a bug, spider, whatever, is in MY space, like inside the house, it won't be allowed to stay there once I find out about it.

    But if I am in ITS space, like outside, it gets to do what it wants. I leave it at peace. Live long and prosper.

    Hey, Valerie, nice photo. You look almost happy!

    Terror from the old Chuck Berry song "My Ding-a-ling", when he gets to the verse,
    "Once while swimming cross turtle creek
    Man them snappers right at my feet
    Sure was hard swimming cross that thing
    with both hands holding my dingaling"

    I shudder all over!
    I'm NOT a good swimmer, a notch better than a rock.

    The Shedd Aquarium in Chi-Town had a turtle that looked to be 500 lbs!!!! ouuuuuch
    Nightmare time. WHew

    There is nothing to fear, except fear itself.
