I'm Being STALKED By A SPIDER!

[silyjillie]

You girls are too much!!! Thanks for the laughs! I'm with Vicky though. I scream when I see spiders and I won't go near them. When I first started dating my bf, he thought I was being attacked because I screamed so loud. Now he knows what to expect. And, I make him squish them until I see their gross guts, can't chance them playing dead and plotting to get back at me later.

ChattisMom reminds me of my sister. She loves spiders and I was giving her a perm, had the chemicals on her hair, a spider appears and she refused to kill it, I ran outside and said, "kill it, let me see you flush it down the toliet, and maybe I can save your hair before it falls out". She got the hint.
I hate centipedes too, had many of those in MN, never see them in FL.
We have a lot of MN friends that loved to visit us in FL. When we bought our home here it was like a hotel every winter until they saw lizzards and the snake story, they know get hotel rooms.
I love my friends.

It was huge and so scary looking! He flicked it off and we didn't know where it went. Tore the living room up from top to bottom looking for that sucker!

Little did i know, my little Mia is a spider hunter. She found it for us.

Thank you Sara. Oh my gosh, I wonder of died if I was sat right next to one!!! Next time I have a spider situation can I borrow little Mia please!

The other day when I was in JoAnn's Fabric, I was standing looking at the thread and all of a sudden something bit me on the back of my leg! It felt like someone was putting a cigarette out on my leg. I quickly looked, expecting to see a hornet, or some flying insect. I didn't see anything! I have a sneaking suspicion it was a spider! Hate those things!

OMGosh, I'm so glad your son was okay! I can't believe the kind of spiders you guys get over there that are so nasty, I thank myself lucky that we don't have them living here.

I'm sorry you got bite, I have it's better now.

Do you make him flush them too??? I'm sorry but IMO that is the best option, squish and flush! You can't be too careful they don't come back!

Okay this thread is very funny, my sister hates spiders, nothing scares her but she will not kill a spider in a kleenex or anything, she comes and gets me to get it if I am handy. Which if you see the two of us you would die laughing, my sister is built like Zena warrior princess no kidding Her favourite things to kill a spider with when there is no one around is 1, the vacumn , no they do not crawl back out leave it running for a couple of min, and the suction will kill it. 2 , the coal shovel, or my dad or brothers' shoes, anything big and heavy.

By the way, we have been to England several times, and I swear the spiders, there will carry your luggage for you!

I'm not convinced about the hoover though!

Yep, we have HUGE ones... they would make good porters!
