True Fears...

[Steven]

No one is upset, but I see where this is going....

And I am choosing not to be a part of it... that's all

ok Phee but I really DO think that everything is fine between Mike and I and that there is nothgin to worry about.

nope - not upset at all - i'm really enjoying this conversation! if, however, others feel that we've gone too far afield from the original topic (i personally don't feel so) i will gladly refrain from pursuing this further...

just say the word, gang!

or you know what Mike you can always set up a new thread so we can continue and it doesent bug anybody who wants to post about what they felt was orignally on target, its cool with me....

I have a few small phobias like spiders and stuff like that.  I can fight through the phobias and still do things without any issue.

My one major fear is sort of silly.  I fear being useless.  I have always had this fear.  When I am doing dangerous things I try to be as safe as possible so I won't get injured in a major way but I always think to myself that I hope if something goes wrong it will kill me.  I have told my family and friends to never have me on life support and I used to have a do not resuscitate order in case something happened.  I was raised to judge a person by the pride and quality they put into their work no matter what the job is.  I feel that I would be viewed negatively if I was no longer able to work in anyway.

(I would like to clarify that doing things around the house is work in my opinion.  One of the hardest and most thankless jobs in this modern society is homemaker.)
