What's your BIGGEST fear? (Page 1 of 2)

I'm with you Zurf ... I know all too well about fishing in lakes and hooking snakes ... I've never seen it done in a river or stream before but luckily you found a nice bunch   I remember snorkling in rivers before and had the bright idea to lift rocks up, it's all fun and games until an eel shoots out right at you when you flip one over and you realize sucking in your breath through a snorkle while under water is not the best thing to do

Spiders. I hate em

I wouldn't call it a fear (it used to be), but I absolutely abhor spiders.  I find them to be repulsive, vile creatures.

Well, the bears around hear certainly keep me thinking of them when I'm trout fishing. But they don't usually run ya off the creek. 

  A couple years ago trying to find a better way into a sweet spot waay back in the swamp. Up ahead something runs off, from a ridge that I was taking back to the water. When I reached the spot where I thought it ran from, there was a big tamarack with a split about 10 feet up with a bee hive in it. This tree was covered with claw marks, the freshest of which about 8 feet up. I looked around and figured it was safe. The stream was about another 40 yards or so along a game trail right to the waters edge. When I slipped into the water I heard a sound back at the bee tree. Sounded something like a squirrel coming down a tree in response to a good barking call on a frosty fall morn. So I listened for a bit, till things settled down then I started wading up the creek. Maybe three steps in that water and there was a thump on the ground over there and something was running through the tag alders. It was coming pretty fast. At this point I'm quite sure ole blacky's coming my way. By the time it stops. no more than 15 feet from the water, with only it's face exposed from the ferns and blackberry bushes.  I'm about 25 feet upstream. We had eye contact for , "it seemed like time stopped. I couldn't swallow the lump in my throat" maybe 3 seconds. As the bear slowly turns away.  I just knew it was some territorial thing. Now-a-days, when I'm fishing up through that stretch. I just pull the canoe upstream, well past the bee tree. Drift back down to the truck. I DON"T walk that ridge anymore!!!!!!!

  Yeah,I guess it's Bears!

Fer me its dentists!! has been from a kid,  when i woke up from under gas(back then) when he was still trying to get my tooth out, the pain!! & blood  mainly the pain!! if it was now ad knock the man out lol

Dont Stop Kid Keep Rockin'  !!

Being Homeless

Well, that's pretty much one you can control, Nela.  LOL

I would think humans are my biggest fear. This species makes you homeless, kill each other, mug, tortures, makes you skint, makes you feel sad, makes you hate, and anything else that goes bad in life.

But apart from that tigers and lions scare me. Its the paws with the claws.
I have a funny story about lions when i was at the safari park but it doesnt seem that funny reading it. one of those " had to be there" stories

and to all those scared of snakes and spiders??? i just dont understand this, they have no big claws like lions

Snakes don't have legs either, but they still climb trees.  It's just WRONG.  What's unusual or un-natural about an animal with fangs biting stuff?  Nothing at all.  But something without legs climbing trees?!  That's just freaky.

Sounds like a good idea Micky !!

Now , just where Does that road start, Mick ? 

Forgetting what to sing or play halfway through a performance!

I got made homeless by the Gov't and state being two faced lying so and so's - Is that all there is to homelessness?

Muffet's back end - now that's scary!!!

(Muffet's a horse and she kicked me 3 years ago right on the femoral artery. I thought she'd broken my leg and there is still a lump in there even now. I'll face her down any time but the moment she turns her rear end to me I'm gone! I don't mind horses rearing up at me; I've had 1 tonne shires galloping straight at me and didn't move, but muffet's hind.......)
