Anonymous Secrets Thread

I am also quite afraid of spiders. Especially black widows, which we have quite a few of. As a kid, my parents would do a spider check at our beach place before we were allowed in. There was a closet we were not allowed in because of the spiders (balck widows). As an adult, I still could not go into the closet to get a blanket because I was too freaked out.

I do allow them to live up in the eaves this time of year because they catch the flying critters. Watching them is rather interesting. However, if there is one close to me, it usually dies.

My perfect vacation would be to load up my backpack and head up into the mountains for two weeks. Alone. No family. No friends. No cell phone or Internet. Just me. To do as I please when I want. Sleep when I am tired, eat when I am hungry, hike when I'm in the mood and chill the entire time.

Sounds awesome, do it. Oh, if you're to follow Christopher McCandless don't eat the wrong berries :)
 
I am fine with spiders as long as they aren't on me. But i'm like that with everything. I even remember where i got that fear from. Watching that arachnophobia movie as a kid.

I'd kill them for you. Don't worry.

My savior!!
 
I can completely empathize with you on this one. I'm terrified of spiders- and any bugs, really. I've learned somewhat to cope with disposing of the, but mostly this means brushing them into a dustpan and flushing them. I can't squish them, even with a tissue, and I can't kill them with an implement because then body parts will be left on my flip flop, etc.

My mom always teases me because I can deal with the scary shit I deal with at work, but a tiny spider, if it takes me by surprise, can make me cry :rolleyes: :D

Well I don't cry, but yeah, not happy with them.
 
Spiders, I never really got the fear for them.

Useful creatures, I try not to kill them, just move.

Of course we don't have any real bad ones around here.
If they were poison, they would DIE!

That's probably because you don;t have any spiders there that can land you in the hospital, give you massive infections, cause something to rot and fall off of you.
 
Spiders are terrifying!! We have a set of plastic cups in the colours of the rainbow - if hubby has been out for the day in spider season he often comes home to a little trail of them across the floor, each with a spider underneath!

If I came home to a rainbow spider farm I would contemplate divorce.

Would not be able to sleep in there. No sir, I do not like it.

Well I don't have two weeks, only a few days. But part of my vacation will be hiking to a primitive beach and I will have not cell service or electricity.
 
-50s, Male - I used to subscribe to Playboy. When I married my wife, the month we got married the centerfold was a young woman, my wife's age who was slender and dark haired and dark eyed. They were dead ringers.

A few years later one of the playmates had the same name as my wife's former name. Sometimes I would introduce her as, former centerfold, and name that girl.
 
-30s, Female -

I was one of those "only here for fun, don't get serious" Lit types. Now, after months of "having fun" with one Lit person, I find I've been discarded like trash & my heart is crushed every time I see him posting with other women.

That sucks :(

My heart goes out to this woman.

Lit can be a horrible place to stay in touch too :(
So many people just vanish for a while.

Not in my bedroom, but the living room. It is rather disturbing to see the babies coming down on webs in front the the big screen when the lights are off. I tend to get rid of eggsacs as soon as they start to form. Eeewww

I read that the average person eats something like 10-20 spiders in their sleep in their lifetime. Big time creepy!!

Yeh that is a myth!

You see spiders are cold blooded, or so I have heard.
Walking on a humans skin for them isn't all that nice!
And they also tend to avoid large rolling objects (like a sleeping body tussing and turning) its too easy to get crushed!
 
I can't stand bugs, eithet. They creep me out! If I see one in the bathroom, I use my favorite weapon, the toilet brush, to kill it. I can't squish them with my feet. Too gross.

Okay all this talk of spiders is creeping me out!
