PS, if you capture a non-JW, er, non-poisonous spider, don't kill him...take him out and release him into the wild, whilst singing... "B o r n F r e e ..."
Rabbit, with all due respect.............yur outta yer bleedin' mind!!! LMAO!!!
P.S. Remember your karma. KIll a creature purposefully today and you'll pay for it somewhere down the line.
Ian, like I said before, I have worked very hard to quell the fears that have been passed to me by my mom..........and, besides........my karma ran over your dogma!
I cried and cried, and I still have him in my dresser drawer in this little clear plastic coffin with kleenex and little flowers He hasn't decomposed, it is really cool.
Missy............just when I was beginning to really like you...........FREAK!!!!
I absolutely hate spiders and several years ago faced my phobia by holding a friends tarantula in my hands for several minutes...
Shotgun, yur a better man than me, Gungadin! My cousin has one........the last time I was up to see him, he wanted to show it to me.........so, with fear and trembling steps and sweaty palms, I went to the boys room to see it in the aquarium..........but, I could NOT bring myself to move from the doorway of the room..........my cousin made a movement to go towards the cage and I freaked out and ran down the stairs as fast as my knocking knees would let me! I had shivers going up and down my spine and the hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end!
I have had rats and mice and lizards and I can pick big beetles up when I see them on the ground, and I even have a neat photo of a walking stick that spent the summer on my potted plant out on the patio, but, I cannot deal with spiders...........even killing them gives me the willies..........I have to suck them up...........the thought of squishing them makes me ill.........there is only one time that I became quite enchanted by a spider..........I was out on the back porch, and this black and white spider was sitting on the side of my apartment wall.......he was tiny, but, he had the neatest coloring....striped like a zebra, and he had BLUE eyes that kind of glowed.......and, when I got closer to look at him, he started doing this little side to side dance and he was staring at me as hard as I was staring at him.........that is the closest I ever came to actually being fascinated with a spider.............he was really cute...........but, his cousins can all just leave me ALONE!!!
Yiz........I have no problem with bats..........they are harmless, as well as helpful, in that a bat can eat ALOT of bugs and particularly mosquitos! I think they are rather cool..........sorta like mice with wings and no tail...........
Rabbit.........I tried posting most of this reply last night, and for some strange reason, the site wouldn't allow me to. I think my little fuzzy black and white dancing spider was the little guy with the cute personality on the back porch..........he definitely hopped......but, I really thought he was cute! Is he poisonous? Also, about those big black and yellow goobers...........I used to see them alot when I was a teenager who did alot of horseback riding. I'd be going across an open meadow of high grass and suddenly come across one..........big, fat, and juicy.........all I could picture was accidentally squishing one of those...........spider goober juice is NOT an appealing thought..............I would rather clean a horse barn, thank you very much, than have spider viscera on me!
