i just killed a brown recluse



which reminded me i have not yet sprayed the outside round the base of my house


~ adds to MUST DO list ~

That picture made me shudder. Which reminds me that I've got to get control over my fear of spiders...it's the only phobia I have that's that horrendous.

the bite of a brown recluse spider can be serious.

I am so glad we are not the only ones here in Arizona.

Brown recluse spiders venom will eat away your skin.

#1 fear for me...

SPIDERS

#2

SCORPIONS



Even though I am bigger than them and truly have never been bit.

That's why I'm always here on the net.
If I'm allowed outside, I might bite.

Last time I saw a spider I practically flew across the room trying to get away from it. I'm insanely childish about spiders because I'm terrified of the things. The way they move is disgusting...the way they look, the way they are...ew. It's rather humorous when I think about how I react to them though. I've actually killed...a piece of fuzz...thinking it was a spider because the air conditioning was blowing it across the tile just right...

AAAAhhhhh!!!

Thats scary. I hate hate hate spiders!!! No lie,I always sense their presence and Im glad.

A spider bit my dog late one night
After we took her to the animal hospital I went to the bathroom and there was the bastard. I murdered him slowly

Our Orkin guy sucks,theres always spiders in the house. Im a better exterminator than he is

Awe... poor doggy.

By the way...

The funny part of my serious issue with spiders is that I've never been bitten by one...and I only know one person who has. I was freaked out by spiders before I knew they were bitten by one. It's just a thing, I guess.

they're found very often in the basement...so be careful.

Mach said:

Interesting how that can happen... that is gross but it doesn't gross me out as much as I am scared of the little bastards creepy in the night or in unseen places.

Can I say... I have lived in this place for 3 1/2 years... and no spiders have even been seen by me. No scorpions, no roaches, or crickets!

I grew up in a place where... yes, you just never knew what you would wake-up with. I visit my aunt and uncle often (where I grew up as a child), but I will never ever stay. No freakin way!

I don't have a basement!!!!! Well doesn't mean I won't encounter them but that is one less spot to find them. And I'm rarely outside, so woohoo.

nice....I mean nice profile pic, Free....mmmmm
