What are you afraid of?

We have a lot of stuff to talk over. He was never one to show pain and still at 78 he wont ask for help for anything. I get a kick out of the way he used to think I was a hard head. I remember wanting out of the house as soon as I could get out, I needed my liberty. My dad is the same way and hes gonna hang on to his liberty as long as he can, but when hes ready to let life get a little easier on him I have a door wide open for him. I have to drag stuff out of him, I dont want him to die holding on to some silly notion that showing pain, guilt, fear or love is unmanly. He has about 50 years of venting to do and I want to be there for it.

I'm scared of my girls getting hurt, too.....I had one really weird nightmare where my Mom, sister and I got back from vacation and found that our dogs no longer had tails, my Dad had had them docked!! And then he goes, "Oh, I was just about to get them cropped!" I don't know HOW I had such a weird dream, but I woke up screaming - I cannot imagine my girls being tailless.

I love rats!!! My sister Josie used to have one named Gypsy Lou, she was such a sweetheart, she'd stand on my shoulder and brush my hair with her paws. They're tails are a little weird, but pet rats are adorable little things, I love them so much.
Snakes....I like them OK, we once found a bunch of baby garter snakes in a field by our house and brought them home with us and put them in our garden....but I'm not a huge fan of them.

Well, the thing that scared me most about rats.
Watching Willard, the movie Rats (although cheesy), and then later on seeing this GIGANTIC rat the size of a full grown dachshund on the street... I was afraid to get out of the car.
I'm just.... *shudders* I can't stand rats.
And I kinda like snakes... it's just that I used to have a lot of dreams about being SURROUNDED by snakes of all shapes and sizes so I've sorted developed a fear of them. But I once saw a Garter snake pass by me and I really didn't react. I was fairly surprised at how fast it was going.
And I also saw a cotton mouth. Just stayed a good distance a way from it... but they still kinda creep me out.
And spiders... that and rats are probably the worst for me....

LOL yeah I don't think you'd think getting bitten by a venomous snake was so cool once you were in the emergency room.
