No way my liver will hang at any wet market.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Waking up naked
Or never waking up again, like what happened to my best friend not long ago.
But still, for me, it is the flesh eating stuff, and losing limbs.
I want to get into the lake, and the ocean, but I always have cuts on my legs from working.
Long ago the saltwater healed all my wounds, now I am afraid to get in it.
(I am afraid of sharks, except this beach has no history of that, except one time someone in the water fishing, with bait in their pocket).
(the shark just bit their leg, going after the bait that it smelled).
News stories since then have had hammerheads getting beached, and the locals try to save them.
Panama City Beach, just a 5 hour drive from here.
Maybe next year.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Waking up naked somewhere would freak me out,
Quoted from swampfire:In a tub of ice with one kidney gone, yeah.
Never. Again.
Fentanyl scares me and now that people are cutting most recreational drugs with it-has me thinking those days are over for me.
Quoted from Rezdog:Being startled awake by a ringing phone in the middle of the night.
That's called a "booty call"
Generally a good thing
Quoted from ovfdfireman:Losing a child
We lost our 26 year old son this year. Now my wife is paralyzed with fear of losing our 16 year old as he begins driving. Im more pragmatic but it does make for tough times.

That's what killed my niece last year. Whether it was suicide or accidental overdose is still up for debate.

Quoted from vid1900:That's called a "booty call"
Generally a good thing
You would think. I was just out of college and I got a call from my ex-girlfriend at 2am, she wanted me to come over right away. I said “hell no, I’m sleeping”, and she said “if you come now, we can have sex”. So I jumped in my car and was at her place within 10 minutes. Then she told me that she was just lonely, and there would be no sex. I was nice anyway, but I stopped picking up the phone after midnight.
Quoted from DennisDodel:That bridge is within walking distance of my home. It stayed open way longer than it should have. By the way, that '13 Ft. 9 IN' sign now hangs on the wall in Joe Clark's Bar & Grill on the south side of the new bridge. Good food and cheap beer. I'll snap a photo next time I'm in there.
Quoted from ReadyPO:We use to drive across a very old bridge with our kids when they were young in Fenton Missouri we called the "Scary Bridge". It was the old Gravois Road Meramac River Bridge. Demolished and replaced in 2010. In finding a picture I saw at the end of its life it was rated for only 3 tons.
[quoted image]
Boring, non-scary replacement bridge.

Surviving a plane crash.
Shark encounter in ocean.
Giant spiders that bind you in silk webs and feast on your live body for weeks.
Free falling off a skyscraper and splatting on the concrete below.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Surviving a plane crash.
You are right. Not surviving is better.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Shark encounter in ocean.
You'd give the shark indigestion.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Giant spiders that bind you in silk webs and feast on your live body for weeks.
You'd bleed out in a day or two.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Free falling off a skyscraper and splatting on the concrete below.
Grimace and spit at the sidewalk before you hit. Die like a boss.
LTG : )
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Getting run over by one of those huge paving machines I see on the highway.
You mean like a tube of toothpaste that you roll up from the end and your head is the cap ?
LTG : )
Some girl survived a plane crash and landed in the canopy of the Amazon rainforest still in her plane seat! She had to battle the rainforest to survive ! Damn
Getting an injection in my eye for macular degeneration!! Scary thought but had it done yesterday and not that bad.
Damn, getting old's a bitch.

If you haven't considered it already, I suggest that you look at taking eye vitamins with the AREDS formula.
I take Preservision vitamins, because my father had this exact affliction and it is hereditary.
He basically went blind with laser surgery to attempt to correct the issue.
I hope that you have better results.

Thank you, I'm already taking Areds2 and at my last Dr visit my left eye got worse and he recommended the injections.

Wow, H....y. I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. I hope that some remedy can be found to arrest or cure that condition. Yes, aging sucks. My late brother used to say, but it's better than the alternative. He got the alternative, but I'm beginning to question whether that's true or not!

If you register on the Bausch and Lomb website, they will send you a free refrigerator magnet with a grid on it that you can use to test your vision to see if you have this beginnings of this affliction. They sent me one for free and I use it about once a month. So far, I don't have that issue.

I don't know how common it is, but hopefully most of us will never have to deal with it. There aren't too many things worse than losing your eyesight.

Yupp, They sent me the same thing, Amsler grid. 6 months ago all the lines in the grid looked straight, now they're crooked as shit. It sometimes progresses fast and that's the reason for the injections.

Thanks JR, This is supposed to slow the spread and prevent further loss of vision.
Dying Into nothingness . Star trek NG episode Picard quote :" some say we snap out fingers and there is nothingness "; a cruel joke by Q.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Dying Into nothingness
Like, oblivion after death? I decided long ago that I am afraid of how I die(lots of way for that to be shitty), but oblivion doesn't bother me. I didn't exist for billions of years before I was born, I'll not exist for billions of years after. I won't be around to be sad about it.

My wife said from some ap...that I was going to be re born as a Llama and she a superstar soccer player . That's scares me. If you come I'm Contact with a Llama in the future, be kind and sneek me junk food.

I am always kind to llamas.
Quoted from GravitaR:Pinsider's that hype machines before they are played by the public scare me the most.
Still holds true to me.

I’ve lost several people I grew up with. Like half a dozen at least. All guys from my old neighborhood
