| Spider story I have to share my spider story that happened when I was getting ready to leave to take Callie to the vet. Well we have big huge spiders when we have spiders and its creepy but we haven't really had a lot this summer. Well I have my slip on sneakers just near my closet in my room well I got this weird feeling to turn my shoes upside down and shake a little normally I just slip them on. First one was fine nothing came out but second one a huge huge spider came falling out and running to Callie's stairs and I'm not to girly but I ran screaming out of my room into the living room freaking out so my grandma goes in there finds him and squashes him. I will never just slip my shoes or slippers on again. I have some kind freaky spider stories but this was the most startling for me. Do yall have any spider stories?

| Ewwwwwooooouuuuuggghhhhheeeeeeooooouuuuuuu!!! Close call! Thankfully I rarely see a spider around here. As soon as I see one I think brown recluse or black widow and scoot! Guess I'll be shaking out my shoes, too, from now on.

| Not w spiders but a few months ago bf put on him shoes and walked out to the car. Felt something strange, so took off his shoe and shook it. A huge ass roach came out, and it was still alive! Well not for long, he smashed it right then. |

| Oh spider stories...I have so many. I've been bit once landing me in bed with my leg elevated for three days once and if you ever see me walk into a web you'll see a hilarious contortionist with sound effects. NEVER slip on shoes without checking....especially if they've sat in a closet for some time without wearing them.

We've always turned our shoes upside down and shook them before putting them on our feet. Most of our everyday shoes are kept in the garage, not worn in the house, you just never know what could crawl into a shoe, I've had those big black (crunchy when you step on them) beetles fall out of a shoe before.

| EWWWWWW I totally freak out with spiders. Glad you checked your shoes. I have some garden shoes that I leave in the garage and when I go out to water the lawn I slip them on, I always shake them out before putting them on. I haven't found spiders in them, but I did have a lizzard in one. That's another EWWWWWWWWWWWW. LOL

| When we were kids, momma told us to never drink out of the garden hose until you let the water run, because spiders crawl into the hose and you will get a spider in your mouth....needless to say, I NEVER drank out of a hose until the water ran awhile....and NEVER, NOT ONE TIME, IN 50 YEARS DID A SPIDER COME WASHING OUT! THEN....one day, about 5 years ago, my son and I were doing yard work, and we turned the hose on to get a drink of water....I had already told him what mom had always told me....he didnt put much faith in that, but as we stood there, letting the water run, OUT CAME A HUGE SPIDER, HUGE BROWN GRASS SPIDER, WITH MILLIONS OF BABIES ALL OVER HER ABDOMEN!!!!! OMG!!!! I threw the hose and bolted! Finally, after 58 years, it had FINALLY happened!!! Thank God I had listened to my mother all these years!!! Can you imagine getting THAT in your mouth???????? EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! |

| I learned very early in life, my momma was NEVER wrong!!! I used to make jokes and say the ONLY thing she had ever been wrong about, was THE SPIDERS WASHING OUT INTO YOUR MOUTH IF YOU DRANK OUT OF THE HOSE!!! Turns out, MOMMA WAS NEVER WRONG!!! She is "up there" now, smiling down saying, "I TOLD YOU SO!!" iI still do whatever my momma told me to do! |

We have black widows here. I take a flashlight around the backyard at night every so often and kill any I see. I've noticed lately that the heat has brought out the regular kind in the the house lately. I watched my husband climb on a stool 2 nights ago to hit one on the ceiling...it fell, who knows where and hubby got hurt in the process...I was laughing so hard, trying not to laugh because he got hurt, and then laughing some more.

| Speaking of spiders.... I went to take Scraps out to pee the other night. Good thing I always bring out my phone for the light. Otherwise I would have walked right into this! Pretty web though, can't say the same about the gonna-get-smashed-in-a-sec spider!

| Well most spider stories as with any bug stories involve me running very very far away... so there is no story left to tell. But I do have a similar freak me out kind of story... So in the winter time in the barn the water buckets for the horses freeze. Some of our lovely horses like to dunk their hay in their water, so every morning you have to both break and scoop out the water. Well I've been told time and time again to look before you reach, and for some reason I wasn't paying attention and grabbed a handful of ice and hay (of course with my bare hands) only to feel something fuzzy in the bucket... Well turns out it was two dead mice :eek ... I was alone in the barn with one of my students (half my age) so she was like 8, and I felt so bad, cause she heard every colorful word our language has to offer as I ran out of the barn, taking her with me to find someone who could remove the damn thing. To this day, I shutter when I clean the water buckets out in the winter...
