On this side of the country, home fries are a breakfast item ... chunkier than hash browns, and may have peppers and onions fried along with the potatoes. The big fries are called Steak Fries.

Or here in the southeast they may be called "Tater Logs".

Mice. They just freak me out.

Years ago there was a bit of a mouse plague and I pulled back my sheets to find mouse poop in my bed....partner at the time set traps and I changed the sheets....but I couldnt sleep, I would doze and wake up screaming thinking a mouse was scurrying in the bed with me.

I found out recently that my dad is scared of cockroaches! I have to say, I pissed myself laughing watching him try to splat one but not get touched by it. lol

I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself.

I fear being misunderstood.

BigV · 01-28-2009, 01:15 AM

I fear unintentionally giving offense.

You shouldn't fear that. Apparently I do it all the time around here and I'm oblivious to it. I'd never post anything if I had to stop and think about who I'm offending all the time (and I'm sure there are a number who'd be quite pleased if I stopped posting), but ultimately you can't please everyone all the time...so as long as you've represented yourself honestly, that's all you can do.

But you've got, like, huge, poisonous ones that carry small children away if you aren't vigilant, though, right? It's reasonable to be scared of something like that.

Now, if you're talking the normal tiny miserable sonofabitch German cockroaches, they're merely loathsome, and your father is clearly a wuss. (I lived in an apartment that had roaches in the same way that last segment in Creepshow had roaches).

lol...we have several different varieties, some of them large-ish. We have the german ones too. This was a flying one he was trying to squish. It was pretty funny. I think he's a wuss regardless of what size the cocky was. lol

I am with you there.

I for some reason am deathly afraid of horses. which is weird to me, I like them.. I think they look cool.. I like the Idea of horses...hell! I like horses! but ever since I was a kid I haev had nightmares about them (I think it may come from my mother reading me greek mythology and the flesh eating horses form herucles's trials..) then again... who knows?
