"Chrysta Wilson" wrote in message ... 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. Eric 'Well, that's no ordinary spider. That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered arachnid you ever set eyes on!' |

"Chrysta Wilson" wrote in message ... 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. 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. We had a completely screened in pool, 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. Eric Damn!! YOU did that? That was my UNCLE trying to retrieve his frizbie!

Bruce 'still would like the frizbie' It was in self defense, honest! Eric 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.

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.
