What is your greatest fear?
Short of "four more years", it would have to be being buried alive....


And you?

1. Worst fear?
Dying alone, unremembered, and un-noticed.

5. I'll second that
Sadly, may be my destiny. I hate thinking about the future.

I had an uncle that dropped dead on the street several years ago doing something he loved.

I can only hope for such an end to life.

6. the Pay-to-use windows OS....
They want to make the next one (after "longhorn") a pay to use OS, that you would subscribe to and pay per month. I think that'll be the breaking point where I make all my computers linux computers.

7. I have many fears, but fires scare me a lot
I was in a fire as a child and I'll never forget the terror of feeling trapped and like I couldn't breathe.

9. A couple
My biggest big picture fear is that I will die a faliure, having contributed nothing to this world. Although some would probably say that was untrue, but I still worry about it.
My biggest pure terror fear would be snakes that I couldn't get away from. I can look at snakes in the zoo. I have been near a few small snakes in the wild and been alright. I have even petted a boa constrictor's back while the owner held it. I could not pick one up myself though. If I were sleeping outside and one was in my sleeping bad with me, I don't think I could take it. If I were thrown into the snake pit in Raiders of the Lost Ark, I think that I would just pass out and die.

10. Dying, pretty much
The middle age thing is setting in, and lately I have been facing the fact that I will die at some point, and that alone scares me.

15. Becoming a scary, crotchety old lady. . .
I already have the cats and the Gay roommate. You know the type. . . the one who the neighborhood kids are scared of and their parents are just polite to. Because she's "eccentric", you know.
