Coming from the north, I was absolutely freaked out when I first heard of such things around here. Not only that but my house was (still is to a great degree) FILLED with them. There are all sorts of horror stories of people who had one drop onto their faces while sleeping, etc. I know a guy who now has a lazy eye because of it. Almost lost his vision altogether.
For a while, I tipped out all shoes before putting them on as recommended but, with time, just grew out of all that nonsense. I have a company come by to spray for them quarterly and put down glueboards but that is about it. Kinda like swine flu. What can you do, eh? (watch, tonight I get bitten AND contract the disease....oh yeah, and I can't even drive myself to the hospital...still on drive restriction because of the seizures..LOL!).
On THAT happy note, I am off. 11pm and "Intervention" is starting. Nice to see shows about people more screwed up than yourself to make you happier. HA! G'night all!

EWWW that spider sounds gross Guido! I loathe spiders so much. We're lucky here, maybe 2 breeds of venomous spider which hang around in driftwood at very particular beaches (so you're very unlikely to run in to them). But we do have a spider called the white tail which travelled over here from Australia (THANKS! LOL) which gets germs on its fangs so when it bites it can cause necritising of the flesh, blegh! Horrible things. We don't have snakes either, YAY! LOL! It's coming up roses for wusses like me LOL!

I used to just trap them and let them outside before I learned what those little buggers did to a person. YIKES! Talk about a nasty little devil.

They would hate me then cos I kill every spider I come across LOL! The joys of being an arachniphobe.

Guid, I agree with you. Animal abusers should belong at the pit of hell along with Dahmer, Manson, etc.
The one thing I saw from PETA recently was abusing Pres. Obama for killing a fly. Who likes flies? And How many Billion of them are there!
One gone wont be missed! HAAAA!!!!!!

Lucy Weighs exactly 36.5 pounds now, she's so close to Calvin is scary! And then there's the looks! Bet Calvin turns his head alot when you talk to him too.

At least the damage is somewhat contained by the electric fence. |
