For me it would be broken bones. After being carried away to the hospital after a m'cycle crash with several broken bones, i cant even stand to see someone with a broken leg or arm. I can hear and feel my own bones scratching over each other again, not to mention see my arm swing around to positions that are anatomically impossible. It makes me so sick i want to puke. It happened 4 years ago, and still sometimes i wake up covered in sweat in the middle of the night after having relived tha crash in my dreams.

<< Flying Giants, aka Palmetto Bugs! >>

I don't care what you call them, those are big-ass cockroaches! (and I don't like them.)

I can handle my personal fears and face them, what scares me most is something happening to one of my daughters and being helpless to protect them.

For a long time I feared death and hell and God. And for good reason, I was headed to hell. But God rescued me from that. I still fear God, but it is a different kind of fear, mingled with love, respect, and honor.

Right now I fear for my two brothers. Although they profess Christianity I fear they may be to whom Christ says, &quot;Depart from me for I never knew you.&quot;

Also for my 4 year old niece and twin 1 year old nephews. There were complications when the twins were born (my sister isn't even 5' tall) and I was terrified then.

I have often prayed that God would rather take my life instead of theirs since since I know that Christ has already regenerated me. I guess that's what I fear most of all. Them dying young.

Other than that I don't like snakes.
And females (particularly very attractive ones) make me very uncomfortable(It's all my brothers fault). But neither of these are real fears. I can effectively communicate with females and I can get near snakes.

<< I think the closesr to the Equator you get, the bigger the bugs get... >>

I think NYC is an exception. The roaches here are quite exceptional, and the rats (even though they're technically rodents, not bugs) are damn huge, some almost as big as cats.

Got a vasectomy, so I'm not afraid of having more kids anymore, 4 boys is enough. The wife wasn't very responsible taking the pill!

I'm surprised no one else mentioned flying...


I hate flying, I hate it bad. Cause' I'm a chicken.


I'm afraid of water, yet I scuba dive and swim whenever possible, and I am afraid of heights...

Spiders give me chills, while snakes don't bug me at all.
