1969912 0 #1 October 16, 2005 A couple weeks ago I saw a Black Widow rapping down from the light in my bathroom. Fat Fucker, nice Hourglass. Killed it chemically, and after a few days to make sure it was dead, I burned it with a torch and flushed it down the sink with Clorox. Tonight, kicking back on the couch, I grabbed my stolen Atomic Ale pint glass of tea, and took a swig. Gee whiz - solid matter! Upun spitting it (the solid matter) into my hand and looking I realized it was a fuckin spider! Not a BW, but some other kind with a body ~8mm diameter. This is scary shit! Am I being attacked because I hosed the BWidow a couple weeks ago? Help! Is there anywhere in the US where there are no SPIDERS?

sharimcm 0 #5 October 16, 2005 I used to live in a neighborhood called Springbrook. When I moved out, it was nicknamed Spiderbrook. So many damn spiders... Everywhere... In the house, in the garage, in the pool, in the trees, in my car... Eek! Even the exterminator I brought out to the house said his chemical wouldn't kill the spiders because they can walk right through them without being hurt... I heard it was bad luck to kill a spider anyhow.. I need all the good luck I can get!

1969912 0 #6 October 16, 2005 I've watched an open wheeled race car approach mine while spinning at 100+ MPH closing speed while calmly doing the right things. Had bumblebees fly around my head while at 250'+ on the cranes building I-205 b'tween Portland and Vancouver. Had bees on 1/2Dome. No big deal. Spiders - FUCK NO!

skylord 1 #8 October 16, 2005 Well, thank you for scaring the living shit out of me forever. I hate those things, and I cannot reconcile the idea of a benevolent God with their existence. No problem out in nature, but once they decide to co-habitate with me they are at my mercy. They look just, wrong. And I will scream like a girl if one is on me when I don't expect it. That's the truth, and has been since I was a child. Rationally, I understand their place in nature. Rationally, THEY should understand how I feel about them. That's why I'm at the top of the food chain, and they are relegated to octo-vision looking at eight of me smashing their sorry ass with a newspaper. Spiders are everywhere, but not in my tea or house. Seriously, watch out for the Violin Spider, or Brown Recluse. MUCH more deadly than a black widow, and VERY prevalent in the Southwest US. That bite will cause blood poisoning and total collapse of your circulatory system. They are about the size of a quarter to half dollar, with a distinctive violin like pattern on their back. I've almost lost two friends to those bites. IF you even think you got bit by one of these, go to the hospital NOW.
