A little off topic, but that's alright...

Yeah, I never understood why they call them "palmetto bugs" either. Call them whatever you want, but they are still big 'ol cockroaches.

Palemetto bugs..??? Is that something we should know about before we go for the Big Meet in Pensacola..????

Never liked the palmetto bugs in Florida either. the sound they make dropping from the barracks ceiling in the middle of the night is a bit spooky... In m y opinion, they are not palmetto bugs. They're huge freakin' cockroaches! Why call them something diffferent?

On the topic, though, after climbing 800 ft towers, having missiles shot at my ship, nearly getting shot, car wrecks, and other mishaps of that nature, I still get a little spooked when a fly buzzes too close to my ear. And I can't stand wasps!

Ahhhhh nothing like a Palmetto bug that managed to get in your house deciding to attempt to dive bomb you and fly right at you!

Not scary, but more like seriously gross are cockroaches. They are one thing I don't miss from living in Florida.

I remember watching TV and seeing a big fat one pop in from under the front door. Amazing that it could squeeze in, but gross. Or the one time I saw one in the glass cabinet -- the only thing I could without breaking stuff was to catch it using the extension hose on the vacuum. I can still remember the sound it made as it made it's way through the tube.

Probably the thought of anything happening to my wife and daughters.........
Or the possibility of getting chomped by a massive carniverous fish - yech
Oh yeah - I don't like Intensive Care Units - been there, done that...........

Spiders..! Hate the things! Worst modeling fear: seeing my completed models broken-up!

Speaking as a parent...my worst fear is something happening to my kids.

For myself, ditto on what tigerman said..."Heights and speaking before a large group."

Are you kidding??

Failure!!

Just a German thing that seems to run rampant in my family (not to get too personal here ).

I had a dream the other night.
My favorite cat, "Wolfie" Wolfgang (seriously here), spoke to me, grew wings, and flew off on some sort of mission. That scared me.

Basically, I fear anything bad happening to anyone I love, such as children, parents, loved ones. Things that are out of our control.

And then there is that first coat of dullcoat lacquer over my otherwise, (almost) perfect, camo/decal/weathered, thatI'vespentthelastsixweekson, ....Dornier Do17z, ....... thing.

And then yet again,....... the phone ringing in the middle of the night.

Bottom line is, I try each day to fear less, and learn/understand more.

Snakes

To find that all hobby shops have all gone and no place to get models?

Heights and speaking before a large group. The latter isn't so hard here, because it isn't face to face.

I don't really know, wouldn't want to see a couple wolves or cougar sneaking around me in the woods. but I wouldn't really classify that as a fear, more like a healhy respect.
