my greatest fear? hm dunno if i ahve a ONE. let's see i absolutely hate roller coasters, dunno if that's really a fear, i just don't like the feeling/thrill as some call it.

umm spiders i dislike, especially when they crawl out of an crack or opening and you don't expect them too.

and i guess a real fear, which came from when my sister had her really bad car wreck and i didn;t find out till hours later. is that when mom or sis, or whomever that i know isn't back when they said they'd be back.

Brown recluses are truly a horror... the affects of their bites... just... oh goodness...

I won't show it on the board for obvious reasons but I will include a link for those brave enough to look...

The Bite

Intestinel Chaos, I've seen that group of photos (save the first one with the actual spider) half a dozen times to represent different species of spiders from black-widows to wolf-spiders, to cobras and three-steps. Anyway, I'd rather be afraid of a creature you can make a cool looking costume out of like batman did. Spiderman's costume is too flashy. Maybe I should be afraid of ghosts, and wear and invisible suit.

Ahh the brown recluse, or the "Arrow bite spider". I personnaly don't believe those bites are from a brown recluse though, when they bite they cause a dart board like group of circles that get bigger as the weeks go by. They do cause the plague however, though it doesn't make huge gnashes like that.

That's the most gruesome thing I've ever seen, and I've been to Rotten.com

God I hate spiders.

yep that bite looks nothng like a brown recluse(aka fiddleback spider). as red has pointed out it creates a sries of white and red rings. My grandmother was bit by one.

And in some cases, it makes huge red, purple, pink and white "dart board" marks. Anyways, I also fear another pornography virus. I let my friend download one thing that's "safe" and he downloads the one that's covered in sspyware and trojan horses.

And now I have a list of all your greatest fears! BWAHAHA! Now along with your pictures from the real pictures thread and the true locations that some of you put in your info I will engineer a clever doom trap! BWAHAHAAAAAAHAHAAA!

And about the spider. I had not known that... I suppose I was misinformed.. Still am I to belive a spider did that?

Quote from Family Guy:

"You sure he can't see me?"

"Yes."

"Okay, that guy, number 4"

(Peter busts in) "Hey I'm looking for Chris Griffin, he's here fingering the guy that robbed that convenient store. Chris Griffin. Here's a picture of him. Yeah, you can go ahead and keep that one Chris screwed it up by writing his school schedule and a list of all his fears on the back."

spiders

i watched the movie aracnaphobia(sp?) when i was like 4.

and as for the being awake and not being able to move that happens to me all the time. i think its kinda cool.

That my children or my hubbie .....would be injured or die!!!

I'm afraid of heights and deep deep water ( can't see what's down there!

You want to hear a horror story? When my mon was like, five, she was playo=ing hide and go seek. She was hiding in a narrow alley way between two houses and walked into a spider web. Worse thing was, the eggs had just hatched. She had thousands of baby spiders in her hair and had to shower to get them out. She was pretty afraid of spiders, but now she is barely afraid of them. I think its because when you have children, you learn you can't really be deathly afraidd of small things like spiders. Personally, I find spiders increadibly fascinating. Silent, tricky, trap making arachnids. You know some spider webs are big enough to catch fish that are about 8 inches? And did you know that the bird eating spider of the South American rain forest can grow up to a foot high and wide? There, that probably stopped you all from sleeping.

*checks his sheets to make sure no 1 foot man-eating spiders are in them.*

lol Red. living in venezuela for the first 6 years of life, i quickly learnd about bird-eating spiders and what not, so it won't keep me from sleeping.

I must say despite fearing spiders, i do find them absolutely fascinating, i just make sure they are in a glass jar filled with ethanol or other preservatives, before i will examine one.

jumping spiders though i don't mind at all, i love watching them up close.


also nothing beats sitting down somewhere and talking to someone or in a rom full of people, only to glance down and find a scorpion sitting about 2-3" from your hand.

i have had this happen to me once, we were at our second farm (in venezuela) and we had just arrived and i was setting down my stuff in my room. well on the wall above my bed is a 2" scorpion just sitting there. my dad tries to catch it, but it jumped of the wall onto the bed and dissapeared into a crack in the wall.

then i have seen it happen two other times to friends(i was living in panama at this time). the first time was 6th grade year we were in homeroom, well our homeroom was in a teachers office and she had these giant pillows for us to sit on. well my friend jaime (spanish for james) took the corner pillow. so everything is normal right until about after 30 minutes when we see a small scorpion climb up the wall above jaime, so we tell him to move very slowly out of the way, and we all run out of the room. the second time, we were in Pedasi at a hotel for a beach trip, and my friend mark was sitting on a bed, there were about 10 people hanging out in the room, when suddenly Mark begins screaming and jump up from the bed,as a scorpion was sitting idly about 1" from his hand.

Another incident that my sister told me about was when a scorpion actually fell off the wall and into the back of someone's shirt >.<

fun times eh.

off-topic: wow i'm like writing novels today. lol

That exact thing came to mind when I said that.

I forgot I'm also terrified from spiders and bees, and I dislike the dark when I'm alone (with my dog is fine).

I didn't know you lived in Venezuela. I kinda think that Venazuela would be a good vacation destination for me. I love Scorpians and all other Arachnids and study them regularly. Hehe, I like mentioning the bird eating spider to my friends, they cringe with fear of the spider.
