Just remember that things can always be worse. In Florida we had
tarantula-sized spiders with wicked-looking, bright yellow designs on

their
backs. If you came anywhere near their home, they would form a picket

line
and begin chanting anti-human slogans.


Now, methinks you may exaggerate just a bit here!



Never! Well, ok, you got me... the spiders' yellow designs were not entirely
as bright as I claimed.

bad-tempered arachnid you ever set eyes on!'

Ugh! I don't think I've seen *that* one before! The kind I am seeing is
brown and hairy with orange stripes on their legs. I haven't gotten
close enough to look for any other identifying marks, although there
seems to be some orange markings on the body as well. Huge webs.

and one day I spotted one of these villains climbing the screen. I emptied
_half a can_ of Raid onto this spider, and it just kept climbing the screen!
It finally fell, but to this day I believe the weight of the liquid is the
only thing that brought it down.

Damn!! YOU did that? That was my UNCLE trying to retrieve his frizbie!

You've referred to me as chauvinist, repeatedly, and recently, because
I joked about the Liberty image on the Morgan dollar being a double
bagger. You're right. It's all ****y flamejunk.

This has turned out being one of the funniest threads I have seen in a very
long time. I need all the humor I can get right now. Thank everyone very much
for this humor.

I will tell you a true story about just how scared of spiders.
B.T.Y. it is OT.
My home that burned about 7 years ago was built in the middle of a
"tarantula crossing", as I found out AFTER I had bought the house. I think
that should come under the heading of "full disclosure" when buying a house.
My family at the time (wife Sheila, son James (a coin collector), my daughter
April, and my daughter-in-law Alberta) had been in the house for about 2
months. Where I sat at in the dining room was at the head of the table so I
could look out of the windows. There was 2 windows that I could look up from
the table and see about 10 acres of our land and we was on top of a small hill
so I had a very nice view.) This one night while we was eating supper, my
daughter-in-law was at the end of the table between the table and the
windows, she had said something and I looked up to talk to her when I saw
what had to be the largest tarantula that there is on the face of this earth.
I am not joking here people... This had to be the Grand Pa of all
tarantulas.... I am talking L.A.R.G.E. large..... Alberta, my daughter-in-law
is just as scared as I am when it comes to spiders and snakes. She looked at
me and knew that something was wrong..... She told me latter that just the
look on my face told her that something was not right. I told her to move. She
turned around, (fall time with the windows open) and this tarantula was about
12 inches from her face..... This Grand Pa of all tarantulas was crawling up
the screen of one of the windows people..... Alberta just about fainted
before she could get her legs to work. Now I am paralyzed and my legs was
working just fine about this time, it is just that they were not taking me
anywhere, the legs was moving but we just ant going anywhere. I was headed
for one of my rifles, shotguns, pistols, cross bow, sling shot, B.B. gun, just
every what I can get to first to kill this beast that was on my property
without my approval. When I finally got my wheelchair moving, (my arms was
going, but we are not going no where at all), my wife (at that time now) knew
what I was up to. When I got back inside the dinning room, (Yes. I was going
to shoot that dang thing right then and there.... It is time for a show down
and I plain on winning. I will buy another window screen, that tarantula has
to die), my wife, son and daughter was outside getting that ugly hairy monster
Grand Pa of all tarantulas taking it to safety. They took it to the woods and
let it go..... I could not believe it. They let it craw all over them and then
let it go. Then wanted a kiss before they went to bed. The nerve of them!
Well a few days latter I was in the front yard and I saw said tarantula for
the last time. Last time you ask? Yes, last time. Have you ever saw what a
30.30. will do to a tarantula? I have. It is a very pretty picture that I
still have embedded in my mind and will be until I die.

Thank you. LOL.
Since we're on the topic......
When hubby was a boy,@8yo his job was to make sure an empty crate
was on this roller for packing celery. Was a very boring job, he spent
most of the time breaking celery branches into small pieces and throwing
them at whatever moved. One day he spotted the web of a Garden Spider.
Huge spider, he decided that was his next target. After many tries he
finally hit it dead on, at the same moment something hit him in the
neck. He was sure the spider had sent some deadly poison dart. Turned
out to be a grasshopper, but has him hating spiders ever since. Of
course, in our family, once we know your fears, vbg
Things we learn as kids really do stay with us forever.
