Well, there were these two old guys arguing about golf on TV. Can’t say that did wonders for me.
The only way it could have been whiter is if they started arguing about how spicy ketchup is, lol.
Most every day this week, I’m scared that I’m not going to be able to accomplish all that I want and should.
I’m scared of letting down the people I care about most.
I’m scared that I’m not going to be strong enough when life throws really brutal curve balls at me.
You’re stronger than you think. God speed, friend.
Thanks, and right back at you.
Last week, my five-year-old hit some litter at full speed and flipped over the handlebars of his scooter.
Went hiking and one of my buddies collapsed from heat exhaustion. Had to call a heli.
Before that, when Trump was elected and all the outcomes that came afterwards like roe v wade, school shootings, attacks on racial minorities, oh yeah and denial of covid 19 and vaccines.
Edit: I can probably list more but I would have to keep on editing this post so ima stop it at that.
I thought there was a cockroach running at me on my bed.
Was just a trick of the light.
Omg this happened to me last year in my old shitty apartment, but it was real. Somehow a massive roach ended up on top of my comforter. I had serious trouble sleeping for a while after that, and I was seeing tricky shadows for weeks…
The whole neighborhood had a roach problem, it wasn’t any particular grossness on my part. The general consensus amongst my neighbors at the time was that the nearby restaurants were to blame, but you can be sure I did a deep cleaning after that episode…so glad I don’t live there anymore.
I mean, if it was continual, it sounds like it’s actually the landlord skipping out on their pest control duties. That shit’s illegal.
this happens to me so often, but I can’t remember the last time I actually saw a real cockroach.
I had a giant spider dangling down behind the curtains. Also a light trick, but damn …
2018 - Having a heart attack and being told I need open heart surgery.
Nothing has scared me since then.
I fear if I get fired I won’t be able to sustain myself.
About 6 years ago I somehow (Safety, Maintenance, and Engineering departments never figured out how) managed to get stuck in a robot cage with 4 water jet cutting robots. I have never been more terrified in my life.
One of my coworkers said he had never seen anyone move as fast as when I yanked the safety rip line to kill the machine. Didn’t get hurt, thank god, but found out that adrenaline makes me giddy. Every thing was flipping hilarious for a few hours after they got me out of the cage.
That is not the adrenaline, that is the endorphin rush, your brain is rewarding you for surviving.
good monkey, here imaginary banana
Holy shit, that’s from Cube ! but worse ! as if Cube had a baby with Saw !
Jesus, that’s something out of a horror movie.
Last night when I was playing pool this guy a bit bigger than me was super trashed and out of nowhere started threatening me but I talked him down and then funny enough he came back up to me later and apologized and gave me a hug lol
A week or two ago, because of other drivers doing stupid and dangerous things.
Two months ago the lymph node under my left collar bone got very inflamed. I went to the doctor who ordered an ultrasound and chest x-ray. The ultrasound was, “worrying” so they ordered a CT. The CT suggested that my lymph nodes had gone bad. I spent the last two months afraid that I was going to leave my kids unsupported as one was finishing her first year of university and the other his first year of high school. A couple of days ago I got the best possible news under the circumstances that I have Hodgkins Lymphoma which is curable and I am expected to go on and live a long life.
I work on very large (30+ tons) custom mining equipment that rotates side to side. One of the machines had its center of gravity above the axis of rotation. On it passing a certain point, the machine started rotating down on its own and almost smashed into the ground next to us. The spring applied brakes engaged and stopped it about 10in of the ground! If it had hit the ground, a multimillion dollar, one of a kind piece of equipment would have been ruined!
I had a nightmare where a gory monster was in my attic, and got scared when I saw it.
I teamed up with my family and we dissected it after killing it :D
Nice, reminds me of The Thing
When my heart stopped beating in the middle of the night.
Luckily, the human body has mechanisms to force start a heart again. Not funny, though, 0/10, don’t recommend.
good on you for engaging the emergency heart
Last week my kid’s mare got spooked by a plastic bag while said kid was riding her. They never flinched and everything was under control in a few seconds but you bet I was unable to breath while watching from afar.
