Fucking Spiders!!! :(

[BiaTcHiNFiRe]

I hate spiders, but i let them alive as long as they are not too close to me. When that happens i am arguing with my man whos gonna kill that bastard cuz he hates them too LOL.

But more than spiders i hate the damn mosquito's!!! I had such a shitty no sleep tonight. We had about 20 of those little bastards in our room and since we was out of Raid we had almost no sleep cuz the blood thirsty bastards was all over us when we turn the light off.

One more thing i am sacred to death are hornet's! The bastards have their nest somewhere around our room cuz we have like 4-5 hornet's in our room every day. I am scared of them like hell, the more cuz of my lil daughter. As much as i like pain can't really imagine to get a jab by one of those big bastards, i would die on shock LOL.

Spiders give me the MAJOR creeps!!!! When I was growing up, Dad was the official spider killer for all his women (Mom, me, and my two sisters...no boys!). As we got older, my youngest sister and Mom decided they didn't like the idea of killing the spiders so now that house is full of them.

The WORST part of it though is that my parents' house now has a bunch of black widows!! Every time I go to visit I'm told that I'm crazy for walking around barefoot! They used to just be in the garage, but they decided they liked the family room instead.........especially this antique piano we have in that room.........it's their favorite hotel.

I've tried to get my parents to get an exterminator, but my mom is SO worried that the poison would kill my little dog that lives with them, so she won't hire one. I've tried to explain so many times that there are exterminators that use stuff that won't hurt my furbaby, but she's convinced. So........the black widows remain.

Just typing this, I got the chills, LOL!!! I appreciate and respect spiders, but I DON'T want them in my house or anywhere near me!!!

Cat...those pics you took are amazing!!!

WD.....How and when did you get bit by a brown recluse spider? What happened? I'm glad that you're ok!! That's scary!!

Dudette, won't a black widow bite be a lot worse for your doggie than a little residual chemical?

Try that logic out...

LOL, now see, my dislike of mosquitos is just why I have no problem with spiders...many of them eat the little varmints so I have been known to gratefully thank a huge spider or 2 for setting up home in my home. And yes, I do verbally thank them......I have a penchant for talking to all living creatures which I think just may have incresed since living somewhere I still can't speak the language of well enough for in depth conversations.

once i was attacked by a mosquito at some lower regions and noticed too late, what was going on...... the good thing: the tip of my cock became even more sensitive and was a bit swollen, the bad thing: it itched like hell....

My sons tarantula got out of his cage once, I figured since it's a spider he somehow found a way out of the house (since I had left all of the doors and windows open). Two months later I found the eight legged freak in the kids shoe box in the closet, I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

So, let's see:

exterminator poison = bad
Black Widow biting and killing dog = acceptable risk

I'm confused.

A buddy of mine had a horse that got a kick out of hurting people. This thing would drop his shoulder and throw whoever was riding. When my friend hit the ground it stepped in and bit him high on the inside of his thigh. He said it brought tears to his eyes. His dad wouldn't let him put him down but, did after he got bit on the back sell the horse...
Its funny that most people don't think of horses being mean.. I guess some just got the streak of evil in them.

This horse would crane his neck around to bite you on the leg, bit anytime a hand came near his mouth, would step on you if he could, and his favourite trick was inhaling and holding his breath when you put the saddle on. The first time he did that to me was a doozy, as I wasn't the one that saddled him, and I wasn't paying too much attention to the guy that was doing it. He was a frikken horse owner, and should've known what he was doing. My saddle started to slip and rotate and that goddamned horse suddenly 'forget' what reins were, what whoa meant, etc, and took the hell off. I swear the bastard had a grin on his evil face. I grabbed a double handful of mane and pulled for glory. I wound up ignoring the reins for the rest of the ride and damned near turned him into a stepper by pulling up on him so hard.

After that, I had no qualms whatsoever about giving him a solid shot to the ribs whenever it came time to saddle. Devious sonuvabitch.

That horse, and my uncle's doberman*, are the only animals that I've ever struck in anger. And that horse was a repeat customer too. He learned not to hold his breath around me, but I never stopped him from biting.



* - Said doberman was mean as hell, and bit me out of the blue once. I've been bitten by plenty of dogs before (play got rough, got to close to their food at the wrong time, just accidentally got in the way of teeth, etc), and deal with it, but that one just came up one day, decided I looked easy and calmly clamped down on my forearm and started to shake (my uncle was a k-9 MP and was badly trying to LE train the dog). His education was quick, painful, and unforgiving, and he never bothered me, nor anyone else near me, again. Can't tolerate a bad dog. Eventually my aunt got tired of him biting the kids and had him put down.

Had a tarantula show up in my house via a bunch of bananas. I am very careful when I buy bananas now.

That's really, freaking cool. Probably damned scary at the time, but really cool in retrospect. Big one, or little one? Did you keep it? Tarantulas are really neat.

A lady came into the pharmacy and said she had been shopping at Pier 1 Imports and had set her coat down. She put it on later and someone told her "Don't f-ing move!" She had picked up a scorpion with her coat.

Crazy.

Um, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but . . .

black widow spiders are shy and prefer dark, damp areas. They only bite if they feel you are threatening their egg sac. It's more likely a brown widow.

Here's some links to sites on black widows:

http://www.desertusa.com/july97/du_bwindow.html (scroll down to behavior)

http://www.pestproducts.com/blackwid.htm

"The female black widow spider rarely leaves her web. The web she constructs is an irregular, tangled, cris-cross web of rather coarse silk. The core of the web is almost funnel shaped, woven into a silken tunnel in which the female spider spends the majority of her daylight hours. This web is altered and rebuilt in a regular basis and is capable of capturing rather large insects. The female wraps any captured prey with her silk, repeatedly turning her victim with her legs as she applies more silk. After her victim is covered in silk, the spider kills her prey by injecting her venom. The prey might be eaten immediately or reserved for a later feeding. After the prey is fed upon and the body fluids are sucked from the victim, the carcass is cut loose and allowed to drop to the ground. The female black widow is most often found hanging upside down in her web, where she spends most of her daytime hours. She stays close to her egg mass, defensively biting anything that disturbs her or her egg sac.

Oh, and fyi - male black widows are not poisonous. They don't even look like the females. Here's a picture of both the male and female black widow.

So bottom line you might be saying we are wasting time worrying about spiders here and what we really need are cookies to distract some of the what... wimps?

What cookies? I don't see any cookies.

Every time I see this thread title I keep thinking, that is one SMALL hole....

Hey, the cookies are fresh out of the oven, right here, and waiting.... I just got new glasses and I totally see those toll house cookies cooling on the counter....

Well, yeah... But is it too small?

I've never seen a tarantula in Massachusetts (even when I buy bananas). We have been known to dance the Tarantella from time to time though...

Ok not really.

Sometimes I wonder just what is going on in there Netz. Then I just put the power tools down and slowly back away..

He's a baby tree and won't have cocoa pods for a few years. I think he's safe for now.

LOL....I DID try that logic out on her, too, but once Mom has made up her mind, no amount of logic is going to change it. My whole family has tried.....to no avail.

My furbaby went to the vet on Monday, and I found out that she has a very bad heart murmur. She's almost 19 years old, too. As sad as it makes me to think about it, I don't think she's going to be around much longer. Hopefully she won't get bit by a widow before then.

 

[Luvkitty33]

So, let's see:

exterminator poison = bad
Black Widow biting and killing dog = acceptable risk

I'm confused.

I know.....it makes no sense....lol. I just hope that since she's managed to survive almost 19 years without getting bit, that I know of, that she will live out the rest of her life without it happening.
