    After last night and this morning I am definitely updating mine. My daughter has been running pretty high fever the last few days. Last night it got so high she started seizing and was rushed to the ER by ambulance. Luckily they took care of her and everything seems to be fine as we are regulating her with meds but that was the most tense and scary situation I have been in and the first time I cried on years.

    BTW, we were reluctant to take her to the ER because our doctor's office and friends who are nurses said there was no need to but we still felt bad about her condition before the seizures, like we needed to go. I'll just say if you feel you need to go just go and don't wait!

    I was a teenager, and my cousin's oldest son was about 4, and the extended family had all been camping at Inks Lake, and we went up to Buchanan Dam. My cousin literally stepped off backwards, and was just barely caught by another cousin. It was the most fortunate thing I have ever seen, but watching him step off created a panic in me that I can't describe, and my cousin saving him gave me the strongest sense of relief I have ever felt.

    So many really.

    - Being held up at gunpoint late at night on an empty street, gun to my temple.
    - Being car 4 in a 7 car pile-up in a rainstorm in while everybody on 610 was hydroplaning at about 65 mph
    - Accidentally driving the wrong way on the Westside Highway in NYC and having to play high stakes Frogger as I made my way from the far lane to the exit against oncoming traffic
    - Waiting for test results for my girlfriend after she'd been inexplicably spitting up blood for a week (turned out to be a bacterial infection rather than the cancer we both feared)
    - Watching a close friend in the last hour of his life as he succumbed to skin cancer that had spread throughout his body
    - Watching another close friend over the last year of his life while he slowly died from drinking
    - The first performance of my play Speeding Motorcycle, based on the music and art of Daniel Johnston, with Daniel in the audience
    - Lying in the street last year in Amsterdam after being hit by a taxi and not knowing what had happened
    - The kidney stone I had when I was 18 before I knew what was causing the pain
    - Various run-ins with the law when I led a wilder life, including the first time I spent the night in jail
    - Being held by Mexican police in a border town after they set me up and tried to take my car, take my (then) girlfriend and take me to jail for no good reason.
    - Having my dog escape from the car without his leash at a gas station right next to a busy freeway (this was just last week).

    I could go on and on. A lot of near misses and, looking back, I'm damn lucky to be alive.

    What about getting hit by a car in a different country? That was funny...I mean scary.

    I was dancing in the street like a moron. And most of the cars just slowed or went around me when this ice cream truck came out of nowhere and slamming into me, sending my body flying down the street.

    My friend videotaped the whole thing.

    first time I heard Black Eyed Peas 'I gotta feeling'.

    also, when I worked for Centerpoint: pretty much everyday was the scariest day of my life.

    23 years ago, I had stopped at a BK on the highway. My 3 YO son was with me right at my side as I ordered food. I turned around and he was gone-- nowhere to be seen.

    I ran the perimeter of that restaurant looking for him in the cars coming and going. Came back inside and checked the bathroom. There he was-- washing his hands. He was at that age when he had a fascination with bathrooms.

    Someone had come in or out of the bathroom. He saw it, recognized it and made a beeline for it.

    I have had a number of these including being attacked by wild dogs in the wilderness, being broad sided by a truck, etc. But, perhaps the worst so far was being caught on the peak of a 14,000 ft. high mountain when an ice storm hit. I was talking to Jesus because I thought I was about to see him.

    I know that SpaceCityKid's scariest moment is playing basketball with clutchfans people. We're nothing but a bunch of nerds.

    When I was about 5 or 6, we went to Canada and stayed at a friends house. We went to one of those warehouse-like supermarkets, and I must've wandered off from my parents or stayed back to look at something. Anyway, I didn't see them anywhere in the aisle, and started to bawl my eyes out because I was terrified that I was lost and alone. I think an attendant came along and helped me find them, but I was just so scared.

    I got into a fight while playing basketball and my momma got scared. So my momma sent me to Beverly Hills.

    My son's umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck AND had a knot in it AND it was the 3rd time my wife attempted to give birth after the first two were unsuccessful.

    My son turned out OK. :)
