When I was a kid I had very irrational fear of large bodies of water and as a result I never learned how to swim.

Good lord, man; what did a banjo ever do to you?

@Condor5 l hate the sound of banjos. The only thing worse are bagpipes. My favorite sound is bagpipes being thrown in a dumpster landing on a banjo. ☺

@Sticks48 OMG! You'd go out of your mind listening to my music.

@Condor5 Could be.

I feel you, dude. Makes you think guilty until proven innocent, doesn't it?

Fucking zombie cockaroaches, absolutely the worst.

Trypophobia?

@Mea is that what's it's called? It creeps me out!

@Lani yes,that's what it's called, lol.

"What has been seen, cannot be unseen."

I know how you feel. I'm like that with catamounts. When I go down into this one canyon where I live, my head is on a swivel looking for them.

Hey, Georgie!

I freaking hate clowns....

We all float down here!

I had one run across my leg while sleeping. It also wasn't pleasant!

@Mea freaky ain't it?..it woke up out of a deep sleep..(shivvvverrrs)

How'd you know it was a spider if you were sleeping?

@Condor5 well it woke me up--I turned the light on and saw it scampering away, so.

@Mea cool.

@Condor5 I felt the 8 little legs runing Across my belly..

@Charlene Eeeeeeewwwww! I HATE those things! They're just fucking creepy, aren't they?

I am with you... some people run out of weed ... I buy weed when I have enough weed to last one week left .. same goes with beer .. there is no run out if you think hard enough lol ! Respect ..

@Nickbeee, I never run out of weed, and I never pay for it. I have very good friends, and I don't indulge that often.

@Condor5 I am spoilt to although not that spoilt lol !!! Nice one .. It's not too hard when you think is it

@Nickbeee brother, I'm sorry to say I had to give up thinking a few years ago. It was getting me into too much trouble. You'll learn that when you get old, like me.

@Condor5 Haha, I am okay with it sometimes !!! it's got me into some wild interesting places, some of them good. I'm well into taoism though so I do like to switch it all right off quite often .. Much respect matey.

@Nickbeee Lao Tsu? That taoism? Nice. I have a theory that stoicism is the western counterpoint to zen. What do you think?

@Condor5 Stoicism I think has the same aims from a different direction completely ! Betterment is the common ground.. Stoicism is restraint practiced. Taoism is practicing being .. feeling everything - being everything in the moment not past or future. Through meditative detachment. So by thinking nothing you empty yourself of feeling and attachment for a moment really in order to really be able to fully utilise the whole of your being .. In taoism it's okay to call a fuck face a fuckface - in fact its encouraged if justifiable !! so differs from a lot of ways in that sense.. Think that is where it's missed a bit misunderstood !

@Nickbeee being, now; yes, I try to live that way. But, as you note, if betterment is the common ground, I'm compelled to think that is a "goal", and to me, goals imply future thought, not a concentration on/or immersion in the present. How's that reconciled?

Hey, you ever listen to Russell Brand? Whattaya think about him?

Me tooo...Lololololololololol

@Charlene ever since I was 6 I would have panic attacks in there lol, now I can't even think about going in there without anxiety

@LadyAlyxandrea kmart is worse for me..

@Scotttheshot dunno. Can't for the life of me figure it out

Well it is kinda big and the stuff is mostly in bulk. So yeah, I don't get what is so scary either.

@Scotttheshot Hopefully just the first one.. Too stupid to be immortal hopefully ..
