    What do you mean by that? Do you mean because both require blood? I, too am afraid of needles. But, not because of the blood. It's because I don't like the idea of anything inside my veins, pushing some sort of liquid through. It hurts. It burns. The IV often times comes out, so you have to redo it. It takes awhile for it to get started because I'm a hard stick. It's uncomfortable. It general I'm scared of them, but it's not because of the blood. The blood is the least of my worries.

    Ever have an IV on your neck with three little IVs? I think I have a right to be scared.

    Speaking of the military, I used to be in JROTC. And was thinking of joining the military architectural program. I don't think they would see any combat. They would just be designing weapons. However, I read that anyone with a medical condition will be sent to like a special camp, or something. So, like you can get in, but not really be in, if that makes sense. It was stupid.

    I meant in terms of Immunization.

    Adenovirus, Mumps, Influenza, Measles, Polio, Meningococcal disease, Rubella, Tetanus, Diphtheria ...etc...

    You mean the shots? Oh, that doesn't bother me. It's when they insert it into the vein and leave it there, that freaks me out. I normally start crying. I hate when I get a bitchy nurse or doctor, acting like they never experienced someone crying, like it's such a huge fucking deal. Well, excuse me, bitch... quit your job. Oh, and kiss my ass.

    pretty much what trump the chump is going out of his way to make himself an example of.
    you know he's really thumbing his nose at his own supporters, and the scary thing is how they're really just sucking it up.

    Kind of an odd statement for a triple post...

    Leaving this world having not had a positive impact worries me greatly. I don't want to be lying on my deathbed having acheived nothing.

    Being insulin diabetic, I'm not scared of needles! But I am scared of not looking after it well.
    I'm genetic diabetic, so I've seen what can happen, watching my Uncle lose a limb, and him dieing young, scares the shit out of me!

    the only reason there is anything to be afraid of is testosterone poisoning, and aggressiveness is the symptom of that. and then you get tyranny because of that and then genocides and the death camp thing.
    you can't count on ideology nor belief to prevent that, any of them. only a culture that combines logic, consideration and honesty, people knowing why they embrace that combination and doing so because they want to, that's the only thing that can or does prevent it.
    so when i hear someone like trump, or anyone, promoting hatred, yah, that's what i fear. that's what i believe makes sense to fear.
    i'm not saying there aren't other things that can't be dangerious. impersonal things that if you aren't careful you can hurt yourself of get hurt or killed by them.
    but really that's the one thing that is frightening; bigotry, and the way people act when they use that as an excuse for.

    I worry about that too. It's not a fear. Just a worry. My mom and many members of my clan are diabetic. It stands to reason I will get it too.

    Ahhh but,if you don't have it now, then what your talking about, is type 2, which is preventable, I have type 1, and a gene, I could be as fit as a fiddle, and still have it, my little granddaughter is ten..she too carries the gene, and has to inject...look after yourself, and you will be OK..
    Start now..type2 is presentative.. Good luck

    Oh, I misread your post, and totally forgot there are two times. Sorry. I do have a cousin, though that has that. Remember visiting her when I was younger at the hospital. She was seven, and we were both jumping on her hospital bed. Her careless mom wasn't there, my cousin. Her dad was, though.
