1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    i have a fear of sharks and having my head under the water..my brother drowned and my parents wanting to make sure we never went near the water without them ( we lived near the beach ) would tell me a shark would get me or i would be taken way by a rip tide. if i was walking the dog. dont take the dog in the water. dogs attract sharks. once i had a pair of red swimmers and my mother said to me. dont wear them in the water. sharks are attracted to red. lol. or i got. u can drown in a teaspoon of water.i can see where she was coming from but i now have a fear of being in the ocean water past my knees and if i am in a swimming pool. i worry if i am swimming someone is going to jump on my head and knock me out. so i only swim laps with my head out of the water.

    I'm scared of birds. I know it's irrational but I really can't stand them, with their horrid beady eyes, and little claws and the way they flap at you :)

    If they are outside and keep their distance it's fine (but i'm still wary). Birds inside though - that's a different story. i get all panicky just thinking about the evil things....yuck yuck YUCK.
