marcandalysse 0 #29 October 16, 2005 At first I thot this was posted by JRAF. He just had a close encounter with spiders of the nasty kind.....Florida has some awful ones!!! Benedryl helped the itching, but not the venom already in the bloodstream! But to us he just appeared his 'normal' self...., beyond all those swollen bite marks up his calves.....and I thot red ants were the worst! mp "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnealtx 0 #34 October 17, 2005 QuoteCan spiders get involved with skydiving in any way? Oh. yeah, GAYDAR ALERT! In the fall, have you ever seen what looks like pieces of thread wrapped in fences/tree/etc? Yup, that's spiderweb. Juvenile spiders will "balloon" by reeling out a long string of spiderweb, enough for the wind to float them away...Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
