This is another shark attack with 2 sharks after a surfer dude (not too graphic)

shark attack 2

Clever the way sharks "hunt" in this case

I'm afraid of screwing up on/in the ocean. I'm also afraid of screwing up on my job. I am afraid of not being someone my kids can look up to, and not doing my job to raise them properly. I really don't think there is anything worse than not being there for your kids. if you can't help it.

I'm afraid of failing as a mother.

Pretty sobering video...due to the panic of the moment it is not a clear film (there is a better one available of this same incident but I can't find it)

I saw that film on another site. Slightly safer for your computer. But not exactly the type of site that Skuzzy would approve of lol.

While I have at times felt fear. Often during fleeting moments of events surrounding me.
Like when my kid was an hour late comming home from school and the after school activity he was supposed to be at didnt remember seeing him there. Turned out he was there, and the bus taking him home took the long route home to drop the kids off (he was new)

I have a slight case of stagefright when Im supposed to speak to a group of people right up to the time I actually do it. Then it goes away.

My only true "fear" is of jumping from a high place. Such as high diving.
I'll climb up about as high as you want. Just dont ask me to jump LOL
Wont happen.

a friend of mine swore the same thing right up untill we pushed him off a 40ft cliff into the sea. he stood at the top for almost 25 mins wanting to but not able to . pushing him only made him want to do it again and he jumped the second time

Been tried with the end result being me wanting to kill the person that did the pushing.

Only the fact that he was better fleet of foot then I saved him LOL

I can relate to that!

I remember at the cottage being pushed into the lake and landing the most painful belly flop you could ever imagine.

Heights and Public Speaking. I try to confront both head on. I have only locked up once when I was standing on a mesh catwalk about 80 feet up in an auditorium, but it was only for 20 seconds.

1. The fear of once again accidently looking up Janet Reno's Barney dress and seeing her tighty whities.

2. Them Damm flying Monkies from the Wizard of Oz... they are Evil !!!

3. Dieing alone and unloved.

I was afraid of heights and flying (except the blue planes )

i was afraid the Hillary would get in the white house and destroy America but now I figure if that happens I will just pray for the Iranians or north koreans to nuke us and that will save time.

and yes the flying monkeys freak me out:O too

I have a very irrational fear of sharks. Or at least I used to.

The most dangerous shark is no more than a weak second to the most dangerous animal in the sea.

We have killed many more sharks than they have killed people...

I have always been amazed that some will talk of their fears of natural world while drinking at the neighborhood bar and then drive home drunk: "I can make it home, I'm not that wasted."

Wasps.

Got stung about an inch below the sack once. Never recovered mentally from that one.

Talk about pain..

Bingo.

I think it's best to be at the top of my food chain.
