What Scares You The Most?

Yeah, and on the other side of my car in the carwash: Rebel Wilson and Lizzo.
But they can’t touch me because I’m driving a VW Polo, and not a schoolbus.

If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with. But there are limits.

Guess that also depends if they’re carrying bags of flour or sharp knives.

Or worse, both.

I’ve been watching what is happening in Georgia, where I’m legally registered as an overseas voter, with increasing horror.

Election workers in Fulton County shredding registration forms
Offering food or water to people waiting in line to vote is now a criminal offence.
New absentee ballot timelines make it very difficult for overseas voters.
State legislature has control of the state election board.

As for flying… The being in an airplane does not scare me at all. Airports on the other hand are terrifying. We got both covid on our recent trip to the US. Good chance we picked it up in an airport.

Landing at LAX. Can you spot the plane on parallel approach?

Mmmmnope… where is it?

When she was younger Rebel Wilson played on an Aussie TV series called Fat pizza, great show the producer is Maltese so its got a good mix of Australians. Shes a very different person now days.

Dumb people.

People that get a dopamine hit from forcing (or trying to force) others to do something, at no objective benefit to themselves.

They’re generally capable of perceiving any fictitious self, or group, benefit imaginable and THEN they’re capable of advocating absolutely anything.

The overt tyrants and greedy people aren’t as scary - there’s at least some rationality to their behavior.

There are other fears, but I won’t ever tell, because I’ve read “1984” and I have no interest in playing Winston in this iteration.

You don't want a rat cage (filled with rats) attached around your head?

That’s a Rebel Wilson? I was so blissfully unaware before… :expressionless:

“Nooooo! Not the bees! Not the bees!!”

Nice try government/terrorist agency. You won’t find out my weaknesses so easily!

considering the situations that have actually happened:

#1. child in ER.
#2. boat capsized.
#3. yellow jackets.

Nothing scares me as long as I am in control. I can climb a 40ft ladder, no problem.

Dealing with the local bureacracy.

Look for the bright yellow Spirit Airlines Airbus on final to 25L. It is slightly above the 105 Freeway.

Still can’t find it?

Much easier to spot in this movie I shot a few seconds later.

When I worked out of Wilshire and Sepulveda you seldom could see the 405 from that perspective let alone the 105 and seldomer yet Palos Verdes. And the 405 looks like there was a bomb scare, where’s all the cars?

No idea. It was a weekday morning.

Oh, that. Ah, okay. Was almost inline with the highway that it just blended in.

I was looking for something more along the horizon.

Goggled KLAX, yeah, seems the rwys are pretty offset from each other. Spirit landed, and you had like half a rwy length to go yet!

Here's a song by an artist that I really like.

Schaffer the Darklord - Afraid of Everything (feat. B B Heart) Lyrics

Here comes the Cowardly Lion
Watch him crumble into dust and powder, he's frightened
Watch him talk a big game feigning he's the killing sort
And not some blankie clutching thumb sucker in a pillow fort
All locked doors, all windows barred
Every little last thing leaves him feel a little more scarred
Phobias unfocused, fears and ADD
Yeah, he's afraid of everything- I'm afraid he's me

When all of it's scary, when bravery's buried
Whistle past cemeteries, of daily dread we sing
When heart rates will race, when fears never faced
There is no place that's safe, you're afraid of everything

Yeah, I'm afraid everyday of everything and everyone
I used to be afraid of the dark now I'm afraid of the sun
I used to flee to basements, now I hide on my roof
I used to fear the unknown, now I'm terrified of the truth
Unruly groups of youths on the train
Scare me more than growing older did when I was their age
Afraid of day jobs, stray dogs and swarms of wasps
Brain clots, but not as much as of New York cops
Laser pointers and terrorists disappointing my parents
And I swear it's terrifying my appointments with therapists
Who wanna prescribe drugs that give me nightmares and shakes
I fear my mistakes heights, thugs, spiders and snakes
Fistfights, forests, floods, and fresh blood, missing flights and ERs, bedbugs, landlords, handguns, prisons, dentists, tetanus, epar, redrum
I'm scared I'm unstable from what I've done to my health
Knowing what I'm capable of- I'm afraid of myself

When all of it's scary, when bravery's buried
Whistle past cemeteries, of daily dread we sing
When heart rates will race, when fears never faced
There is no place that's safe, you're afraid of everything

I get the chills when unlisted digits hit up on my phone
I'm scared witless of both commitment and of being alone
Horrified of my ex-wife, mortified by my sex life
And of what I did the day before but more for the next night
Petrified of failure, but less than of success
Restless nights spent fretting about irrelevance and stress
Maybe shouldn't have abandoned, ran away from my band
Afraid of making fans mad, yeah I'm afraid of my fans!
Afraid that my colleges find me the clown in their company
And that the people I start fights with on the internet will come for me
Worried that this record's hated, no one will get it
And that I'll never have kids and that one day I'll regret it
so the time between gigs I spend alone in my bed
Afraid of all of it, covers pulled up over my head
And wait for shows to play because being a fool on stage
Is the only thing in this world of which I'm not afraid!

When all of it's scary, when bravery's buried
Whistle past cemeteries, of daily dread we sing
When heart rates will race, when fears never faced
There is no place that's safe, you're afraid of everything
