What do you choose to worry about?

I think people worry about things like Planet X and The Super Bowl, because they can't face reality. Well at least it's a diversion. I worry mostly about the mundane day to day stuff. Will i get such and such done. Then I procrastinate. Then I feel guilt.

Hey, D'art, I worry about everything because I'm afraid that if I don't something bad will happen.

Seriously, I think most of us are concerned about our loved ones. I worry about the people who vanish from forums. I think it's the not knowing that is the worst part.

I worry about money, constantly. However, I have learned that being self-employed still makes me happier than working in a restaurant or hotel, and at the end of the day, a little joy is worth more than a steady paycheck.

Reading....

God really screwed up when he created our brains; it's made to worry about the mundane and unimportant while the important stuff gets stuck in the back burner. I've done that so often during my life, I just accept it as my brain chemicals playing with me. It's a constant battle.

I worry about if there is enough beer in the refrigerator.

I just worry. I am an equal opportunity worrier - except about football and such - god, I'm worried...

dlowan--if you're an equal opportunity worrier, except for football, does that mean you worry more about football? Or less?

Sports are one of my favorite irrelevancies to worry about. I highly recommend it!

Yeah, when the battle is over, nobody is dead!

we are all secretly control freeks. A comet on a collision course is gonna smash into us with a huge load of cosmic ice cream. This is beyond our control. I fly in planes, yet Im terrified. Im mostly terrified that SOME OTHER ASSHOLE is driving the bus and not me.
I worry about whether my heart will attack me, but , as science has begun to unravel its mysteries, I do my dailies, I get my RDA of zinc and bioflavinoids, and some other crap that the USDH has determined is good for your rat.
Now I worry less about my heart and more about the damn comet.
I saw some astrophysicist on TV last night. It was on CBC and he stated that , when this new comet comes close, well have an ability to muster out a group of rockets , attach them to the comet, and steer it out to space.

He calmed me down a bit. Im still worried, but not at such a high degree of panic. So, Ive got lots of areas to spread my worry around.

If Los Palmas ever slides into the sea, the entire East coast of the US will be washed away.

Every 2 million years or so, a super volcano erupts. The last one in the US was , well, about 2 million years ago and is the site of Yellowstone Park.

These and some other things, not under my corrective attention, scare the bejesus out of me.

farmerman, Just when is this comet supposed to reach us? I expect I'l be dust in about twenty years floating in the Pacific Ocean.

I worry about my hair falling out. I worry about dying painfully. I worry about whether my children will be happy adults. That's about it.

I'm a natural born worrier, but it's lasting less and less. Now I counsel other member of the family on worry.

I worry about tomorrow, my future, serial killers, my loved ones, our health, I worry about maintaining my present lifestyle. I worry about our bunny who took a mate and lives in the neighborhood. I am a born worrier. I worry about salvation, peace, war, starving people and animals.
We get so comfortable we worry about this comfort getting upset.

I don't worry about asteroids, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or the sun burning up.

Wow, Ruach, sounds like you've got the bases covered! Good job...

ci its somewhere around 2017. However, they only have like 3 points on its chosen path. As they get more points in time and space, the potential for impact and its trajectory will be better known. We should know by next summer with great accuracy.

Thanks d'artagnan. I try hard to include everyone and everything. Should I put you on my list? Are you OK. How is your health

I worry about paranoid people and their decisons. I am tired of decisions that affect me being made under the influence of fears that are illogical (yes, there are logical fears).

That makes me 82 years old. Wonder if I'll be going out with a "bang."
