Well you seem to dish it out pretty well around here. I figured a big smart ass little punk as yourself could see the humor. I guess I'm right then.

with the general use of emoticons. something you have yet to discover? can't see sarcasm on a message board can ya?

Why I did not see you use any when you told that girl to dump her boyfriend and date someone from ATOT. You were obviously being a smartass. So I guess when ever we break your little peanuts we have to use emoticons then.:p

Anyone here ever have to face one of their fears?

I had to do some wiring under my dad's house once, because he had just had pinched nerve surgery in his neck. That stubborn Irish scoundrel was going to do the work if I wouldn't against doctor's orders. So I was Dancing With Spiders. They were harmless daddy long legs (I kept telling myself), but they were on the underside of the house and I was laying underneath them. If they moved around too much for me, I had to GET OUT RIGHT NOW. Which I did three times, knees and elbows be damned (and scraped and brusied).

Thrown baseballs - I'm deathly afraid of a thrown baseball/softball. I'm scared to death of being hit by them. If I see some people playing catch, I'll walk as far around them as I possibly can.

Bees/Wasps/Hornets - Any sort of aggressive insect that stings/bites like a bitch!

I'm going to be between computers for a bit (is that a fear ;)) but if you add a story I will add your name next to the fear that you address.

There are actually only two things that I am really afraid of.

Getting old and senile, and not getting old and senile.

Yeah, flying insects bother me too... Actually, most insects bother me. Thats why I'm fond of lizards. They help take care of the problem.

Oh, and HAL 9000 scares me too.

Now face your fears! Post your stories. I started with a story about spiders. Your story can be about overcoming a fear, or how you developed your fear, or whatever. Your stories will be credited in this top post. It's okay to write a story on which someone else has written a story.
