Johnny you're old enough to know that the size of a spider is quite deceptive. To know the true size of a spider you must close your eyes then you see in your minds eye a beast the size of a hippo or greater. Killing it makes you a warrior.
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

I don't doubt that study's conclusion, but it should be noted that to figure out how much fear each person had for spiders, they asked the people to rank themselves on a scale of 1 to 100...

I'll kill small to medium spiders with no problem, they don't bother me. It's the big ones I won't touch. I also won't go near black widows or brown recluse' either.

One type of spider you shouldn't kill are daddy long legs. They are great to have around as they kill other spiders, even black widows.

I used to be scared of driving, but I'm learning to overcome this by learning in an automatic car. It's brilliant. I just put my foot on the pedal, and go. There's no mucking about with gears. It's perfect for a technophobe, like me!

manual transmissions can be hard on the knee's and back.
Of the 10 vehicles I've own only one was automatic.
Driving a manual car is easy. If I could teach my sister how to drive one I could teach most anyone. There is no reason for fear, except when you must stop on a hill.

Yep, I prefer to row my own.

As for fears, I won't rehash the spiders and wasps. That's a given.

My biggest phobia is my kids getting hurt. I have a hard time going with them to the playground and something like that as all I can think about is them possibly getting hurt. My stomach starts to turn and I become very irritable and am constantly things about being careful and such.

I find this weird as I did some crazy stuff when I was growing up and never got hurt. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I realize now what could have happened to me if I got hurt and watching my own flesh and blood try the same things.

It can sometimes be quite debilitating. My mother-in-law wonders all the time how I'm going to handle my daughter getting more and more advanced in gymnastics.

You can't have a driver's license in Portugal without being able to drive stick. I'd say 97% of the drivers around here drive stick. Automatic cars are actually frowned upon

I've forgotten what phobias I have. Clowns used to scare the crap out of me though (the full make-up ones only, if they had any areas on the face without make-up it didn't scare me). I think it's just the foreign semi-human way they look. It's sort of like the uncanny valley effect.
