original_post:_4/9/2001________ And this is phase two of Max's reaction. When something really bad happens, like I realize I lost something valuable, I always have a moment of calm panic, followed almost immediately by shear terror of what could have happened and what it could all lead to. Normally, this only lasts a few minutes, but the tension is greater than any roller coaster ride I could ever go on. It's a terrible feeling. I also hate going on roller coasters.
