Most Painful experience: broke my ankle about 10 years ago; not sure what was more painful...the pain itself, the "crack" (as in sound...not what you might be thinking...), or seeing my foot point backwards....today I still have a plate with five screws on one side and two nails on the other side...was supposed to get them out many years ago but so far it does not bother at all.

What I am afraid of in life: ugh..tough one..... I think I will go with nasty ugly watch dogs.....I love dogs and own one, but had a "close encounter" once with a doberman that scared the **** out of me....

in, s'il vous plait?

pain: 3 years ago... imagine me riding my bike, la de da, then BAM the thing flips sideways... still don't know how i managed to do it... ended up with a 7" scar on the leg from the front chainring and a nice big patch of road rash on the back of one shoulder... i got to pick gravel out of that, and then i stupidly put gauze on it, which promptly healed into the wound... the most painful part of the whole thing was ripping the gauze back off and reopening the whole thing...

fear: the honest, philosophical, deep answer... being one of the 'masses', being average or normal, leading a life that, in the big picture, doesn't really matter at all... i'm afraid of not making a difference...

In please....

Most Painful experience: Another ankle break. Put the instep of my foot aligned with my shin bone. Made a guy puke who saw it happen. Then I got to drive my stick shift car through rush hour traffic to the hospital by myself. That sucked, so did the surgery that followed (They regrooved my ankle bones with a black and decker)

#2: Had a kid throw a brick at me and bust my head wide open
#3: "Stunt" rode my bike into the rear bumper of a parked truck. Supermanned head first into the cab with no helmet.

What I am afraid of in life: A particular psycho-ex girlfriend... She would come over to my fraternity during a party (where I lived), punch, slap, and generally assault my (then) current gal, and then go to the cops and say that I was stalking her by following her to the same party (Nevermind I LIVED there) anywho, she pretty much scares the turds right out of me... Yes, a restraining order was filed by the ENTIRE fraternity on the gal... Nucking futz I tell you!

RuSsMaN · August 2005

I'll go for the 6ft RCA pair.

Most painful experience - 2 ankle breaks already above, so I'll skip that one - (slip on a wet floor, both bones in in my leg right at the ankle, spiral fracture in one, 9 screws, a steel plate and a steel pin, scars on both sides of my leg....)

Anyway, the MOST painful, waking up from surgery to biopsy my liver, lung, remove my spleen, and a biopsy of my hip bone - when I was 9 years old. This was the second surgery, the first was to remove a tumor in my neck. Waking up with 30 staples down the middle of my belly, a hose in the pisser, mouth AND nose.... I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

What am I afraid of in life? Bees / hornets freak me out a little, just due to their mobility - they can come at you from any direction. I guess what I am most afraid of in life, is not being missed or remembered, once my time is up. I don't think I'll find the cure for cancer, or discover extra terrestial lifeforms - but I just want to make a difference in some peoples lives, even if only a select few. I want to have some sort of impact. I want to leave a mark (other than a huge smoking crater in the ground).

Cheers,
Russ

AsSiMiLaTeD · August 2005

Russ, I'm right there with you on the bees/hornets thing, except that I'd imagine I'm worse.

I am utterly afraid of and loathe anything can fly, period. Bess/wasps/hornets are the worst because they sting, but I've also been dive bombed by birds, especially the kamikazi Mockingbirds we have around here.

All the winged beasties have a significant advantage over us in terms of mobility, and you're right - they can come at you from any direction.

My other fear is burning alive, enough such that it causes me to do irrational things like not wear my seatbelt. I know there's a 1 in a million chance of me getting trapped in a car by my seatbelt and burning alive, and a 1 in 10 chance of me being killed by not wearing a seatbelt at all - but I don't care about the odds in this case...

Winged beasties and burning alive, the only two things I'm afraid of - I'll take anything else.

In Please.

Most painful experience....A deep puncture with a pencil. It was broken off in my arm.(never broke anything in 33 years)

I am most afraid of Poisonous spiders and any snakes, poison or not.

(Kind of wimpy compared to you guys)

Skynut · August 2005

I could use the 12' S-video cable so

Most painful- I had a 1 ton pallet of steel fall into my leg and break both bones in the lower part of my R/leg. While it was at it it also bent my foot up till my boot was pinned against my shin. I was stuck till 4 guys made it to the scene and managed to lift the pallet up enough for me to drag myself out of the way. OOOUUUCCCHHH.

Fear- Young punks, I do not like the way the youth in this country use murder to solve there problems. I am afraid for my children, wife and myself.
If you are not intelligent enough to solve your problems with conversation then just walk away.

In please.

My most painful physical experience was when I was 28 and playing intramural basketball at the YMCA. I was leading a fast break and stopped at the top of the key and went up for a 3 pointer. On the way up I heard a snap in my right knee and I came down on my left and curled up into the fetal position. My teammates said I didn't make a sound and was turning purple. Well it turned out that I had done the triple tear(ACL, PCL, and Meniscus) in my right knee. By the time we reached the emergency room, my knew had swollen to about 4-5 times it's normal size. That and my migraine headaches are my most painful experiences. If you've never had a migraine, you just can't comprehend the pain they can cause. I've tried to explain one by comparing it to the worst hangover you've ever had and multiply it by 100 times and you're getting close. They can last several days sometimes.

I'm scared of spiders because of the scars I've seen on my mother's foot and wife's arm from Brown Recluses. Those little effers hide in your clothes and shoes and the leave a scar that resembles a gunshot wound, literally.

Painful: 2nd Degree burn on my hand from a candle (weak, I know)
Fear: Suffering of friends/family. Hate to see people with pain, physical or emotional or any other kind

NCrewson · August 2005

I'm in

My most painfull experience was probably waking up the morning after I dropped a washing machine on my leg. Hurt like hell when I did it, and I ended up at the hospital for some stitches and some T3's and to have the doctor remove the enamel that was embedded in my leg. The T3's worked for the morning but I wouldn't take any as I had a party to go to that night and as I told my mom at the time "I'm not stupid enough to mix T3's with alcohol". I was however stupud enough to to go drinking and then dancing on a fractured leg. I remember being carried into this hall and up a 1/2 flight of stairs and then running and jumping down the same stairs on the way out of the party. Woke up the next morning with a wicked hangover, my leg was swollen to almost twice its normal size, and to make matters worse my parents thought it would be a good day to fix the kitchen floor above my bedroom by renailing down the subfloor.

I'm scared of having my children die before me. Nothing changes your perspective and turns you into sentimental blubbering wimp faster than having kids and contemplating losing them.

Schris22 · August 2005

I'm in too...

Pain: My constant pain for arthritis, I don't take medicine b/c most have heart complications...and I don't have the best heart either...oh well...

Fear...Losing close friends/family/loved ones in general. Thats not cool.

Oh I could use the 6ft s video cable...or the y cable...but i'll stick with the 6ft s video

Dennis Gardner · August 2005

I like the 6 foot RCAs.

Biggest Pain: It has to be the day I was circumsized as a baby.

Biggest Fear: That the memory of that day will be a recurring nightmare in my old age. :eek: :eek:

Dennis,

A dream that may come true if your better half finds out how much you REALLY spend!!

How true, if she only knew......

Willow · August 2005

I guess I can contribute:

when I was 10 my mom wanted to light a candle for our pumpkin, she turned on the stove, I didn't know which was lit so I touched all of them till I found wich was hot.
when I was 13 I sliped on a patch of ice and fell on my right wrist, it popped, my wrist ended up on top of my forearm.
The first time I played baseball I was on 3 base the guy told me to run, what I didn't hear was once the guy hit the ball so I ran as the guy swung I got the bat in the head splitting it open, I went through 3 rolls of paper towel walking back home which was 10 houses away.

-I am affraid of losing my wife. I do get scared of heights only if it's really high up and I have nothing to hold on to.

janmike · August 2005

In Please. Interesting Karma.

PAIN: Kidney Stone. Very small, but dropped me to my knees.
FEAR: Snakes. Too many trips in Northern Ontario with too many rattlers.

Willow · August 2005

Jan, it's funny how north were you, I never saw any in Kenora which is where I burnt my hand and hit in the head

In for the 12' S Video

Biggest Pain: When I was 11, I took a baseball to the face. My teammates and I were warming up before a game and were throwing back and forth. The guy across from me throwing to the kid next to me tried throwing a curve ball which came right at my head. I didn't see it and it nailed me right under my left eye next to my nose. It busted my nose and gave me a nice shiner. Fortunately, I didn't break my nose, just made it bleed profusely.

Biggest fear: Running out of beer...seriously, my biggest fear would be burning to death. I can't imagine being on fire.

Willow · August 2005

I didn't think this karma would draw this much attention. Not that there is tons. Just these are not top notch cables.

Oh yeah all in great condition and the dog fur on the chair is not up for Karma sorry guys !

MacLeod · August 2005

Cables are cables.

Id be interested in either the 6' S or the 6' RCA.

Put me in please.

janmike · August 2005

Willow,

None of those slithery **** in the NWT, it was in the Ontario (Honey Harbour, Parry Sound) area that brings back the nightmares.

Hey, I hit the 300 post mark.

RSTERN · August 2005

In please

Pain: Ruptured disc in lower back. Went down like a rock. Did it while putting on shoes. When it went I screamed and fell down in the hall, woke the kids up and scared them. Now I am laying on the floor in pain with a 2 and 4 year old running down the hall at me. Lucky my wife stoped them before they got to me.

Fear: snakes :eek:

masanz1 · August 2005

I'm in

most pain I have had was passing a 6mm kidney stone

most thing I am afraid of is a family member getting hurt and drowning

michael_w · August 2005

In please (checkin out the 6' rcas)

Havn't really been hurt much but one of the worse things was when I rolled the pedal on my bike and nutted myself then had to pull the spiked pedal out of the back of my leg.

Biggest fear would be either suffocating or drowning; or having to watch someone die unnaturally. (especially someone I know and care about -- eg. family, friends)

Willow · August 2005
