So they'll put on a crown. Just had one done a few days ago - certainly no big deal in terms of pain (but then I enjoyed going to the dentist's as a kid because of all the free toys in a display case they offered us in compensation laugh).

They'll start with a numbing solution applied with a q-tip, and then inject both sides of the gum adjacent to the tooth with pain-killer. What followed was more uncomfortable than painful - a lot of grinding and drilling to prepare the tooth for its cap. The uncomfortable part was breathing at times.

They make an impression, fit you with a temporary crown, and then you're free...until the real thing's installed later. As I wrote, very little pain - just a slight burning with the two painkiller shots. I always dreaded the 15" needle they'd slip ever so slowly into the back of the mouth...and was relieved at the little "pricks' that have apparently replaced that barbaric practice. laugh wine

Dying alone and not being discovered or claimed by someone.

I also fear of not being remembered for who I am.

Ooooohh, don't even mention snakes! Me, too, Sassy...I can't bear them. I've fainted twice in my life, and the first time was when I was on a school field trip when I was 8 years old. We went to the Miami Serpentarium, of all places, and it was a hot day and I was surrounded by snakes (behind glass or in deep pits, but that didn't matter to me!). Next thing I knew, someone was leaning over me and lightly slapping my face, trying to bring me back to consciousness!

My biggest fear is that when my children, especially my daughter who is only 7, are older that this place we call earth will not let them have a safe and happy future that they deserve. I also want to add that this fear is not just for my own, it is for everyone's sad flower

ladyfingers: I'll die happy with the gas, thank you.


Assuming there's an afterlife from which you can achieve that perspective.

Really, those "pricks" are less painful than your average hard pinch (at least if I'm the one doing the pinchingdevil confused)

Lagoona22: Yeah me too.....I recently got cold sweaty palms watching a movie about cliff climbing....


haha. you would probably have a panic attack over what i do on a regular basis. im a guide for outdoor adventure trips and i take groups canyoneering all the time. (for those who dont know what that is, if you have to use technical gear ie ropes, harnesses, webbing, the like to get descend a canyone, you are canyoneering.) the highest repel i have done was 327' in hawaii. it is great fun! those of you clostrophobic people out there would hate it too. lol. the canyons we do are called slot canyons for the reason that they are so narrow that your nose touches one wall and your back the other.



this is not a video that i took but i have personally done this canyon.

I have a bad fear of heights. I can't make myself go down stairs with shoes on. I have to take them off, especially if I can see the ground thru the steps. The fear of heights ties in with stairs.

I hate clowns. The pictures, dolls and people dressed as them. Any and all clowns. They freak me out - especially the dolls. No Way!

My biggest fear is that something bad will happen to my daughter. I pray for her safety all the time.

About 20 or so years ago I developed a fear of heights. I hate it. It keeps me from enjoying many things. I am driving into the Badlands of South Dakota and on into the Rocky Mountains. This is going to scare the hell out of me....
