Spiders

[Tak]

I was walking down my front path up to the door, it's under a grape arbor so I spray water all over to take down any webs while I'm watering my plants, I had not watered the night before. I walked directly into a web. Right across my face. Then my daughter says "mom, a spider went down your shirt". I, for the first time ever, did the spider dance. It was in my shirt! Eekkk! What would you have done?

Well @Tak the neighbors would have gotten a partial strip show in Fast-Forward, punctuated by shrieks of Oh My Gods where is it? And Get this thing off me!

My neighbors would definitely have a good laugh at my expense.

I would have prob taken my shirt off and then fainted and left my body or something. If the spider had popped out I would have killed it with fire.

1. Tear off my shirt.
2. If spider is visible: knock it off with my hand and shudder. If spider is not visible: start slapping myself and run for the house where I would jump in the shower (probably still partially clothed) and frantically wash myself/tear my clothing off to get it off me.
3. Vow to never go anywhere near that grape arbor again--spiders are icky!

I'm usually the one that catches a spider and puts it outside. Other creepy crawlers are worse and spiders eat them. Plus my sister is an arachnaphobe. I had to take care of them for her when I was 3. I could see the tiny thing on my bra when I looked down and my little dance made it fall to the ground. I let it scurry away.

As for number 3 the grape arbor covers a large portion of the front of my house and is older than me. It's a mess when the grapes start falling, there's the spiders, and loads of maintenance to keep it healthy, but I love the shade, the smell, and the privacy. Apparently they are chardonnay grapes. I don't drink and so not going to make wine. They are small soft and sweet as candy.

This is what I see when I open my front door.

[Tak]

Thanks. One of these days I'll get a bench swing under it and then I can read out there and listen to all the birds while my daughter plays.

I don't know why but spiders do not bother me at all. I have done just what you describe. Most of the time the spiders are little. If they were the Texas country size spiders I might flip out to have one crawling on me maybe. What I absolutely can not handle is roaches. If they are any where near me I scream and run. If one gets on me, I will pass out.

I went to take a bath and what in the tub a big old spider. Great you start talking about them they show up everywhere.
YES I KILLED IT! with FIRE well really HOT WATER and smash it with a SOAP bottle!

On another note Snakes do not scare me but my dad killed a poor little chicken snake who did not eat chicks but at some eggs.
Could not let the poor thing go noooooo just cut its head off and threw it down the hill... Poor thing.

Speaking of spiders and drains....
I was cleaning my mom's kitchen and rinsed a spider down the sink. That sucker climbed back out! Not once, twice, but 3 times! Then I got a little peeved and squished it with a vengeance. With my bare hands. Oo that spider climbed up the water spout, too many times.

Scream like a girl and run to take a shower

 

[The Cleo Collector]

OK which one you guys told the :spider:spiders :spider:to come to my house??
There was another creepy crawly in the kitchen as I was getting my Hot tea out ( not earl- Gray Hot points if you get the joke)
I killed it with the fly swatter of doom I stole from @tulagirl

Buuuh! There are 4 black widows in my backyard. I've decided that I'm done watering for the evening.

Spiders aren't that scary, the only bug I have problem with are junebugs and that is mostly because they are really irritating.

 

[tulagirl]

Yea I don't like the June Bugs either. I am not afraid of them, they just disgust me the way they fly around and land on your head. boooooo

Oh good, you can come over and kill mine.

 

[tulagirl]

What I dislike intensely is how they fly around my porch at night and I can't get through the door without them landing on me. Just Gross! @Ology
