this little miss got of her tuffet and her chair in a hurry..... :crackup:
and maybe that was the moral of the story. Muffy didn't keep her ceilings swept well enough.....
Ha! i can do that!
I love the old adage, 'he's more afraid of you than you are of him....'
How the heck do they know this? I have size requirements on my fear factor of spiders.
and now I have the drop-down-in-front-of-the-computer-screen factor.....The cat's think I am nuts.
Well, why don't they earn their keep and eat the darn things?
Harrumph!

Apple Dumpling DesignsDilu...it's 4 a.m. and the bigger question is what are we BOTH doing UP? :crackup: :crackup:
Bears by Jodi
Back Road BearsThat spider was telling you to go back to bed! Both of you!
I have to confess I take great joy in sucking those creepy things up with the vacuum.... putting the bag in a ziploc and throwing it in the garbage!!! Ahhh, such sweet revenge!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Bear Paws by RoxanneDilu,
We must have been connected somehow last night. My husband has been very sick with the flu and had finally fallen asleep. I myself was having a awful dream about a spider! Well, we were facing each other. While I was swinging at the spider in my dream... I slapped James face! Well....Thinking I was in big trouble. He sat up and looked at me and said
"Do I have a black eye?" ..... :crackup:
I started laughing so hard, I could not stop!!! I felt so bad because he had been sick, but it was just to funny. :crackup:
Tami Eveslage Original Teddy BearsRoxanne I'm laughing loud and hearty!! My husband has what we call nap twitches, those little jerks your body makes just as you begin to doze, but I've been nearly knocked out by them! I'm always afraid I'll wake up with a blcak eye one day!
LOL!!!!!
I guess I'd better not share a photo of a really huge spider... from Brazil... (it weighs a pound!)
Oh Roxanne I've DONE that!!!! I think that's why my hubby started putting the dogs between us on the bed - protection! :crackup:
Posts: 1,836Please don't share that photo..I'll need therapy :crackup: I can stand anything in this world, but not bugs. I loved them as a kid, was a total tom boy but as I've gotten older I can't stand bugs...spiders don't stand a chance with me..it's the foot (sorry) or me running screaming for the hub to remove from my sight. A one pound spider would put me in a bad state!!!! :crackup: 
:crackup:
:hug:

Ooh......spiders!! 
I guess I don't mind them. I'm not too happy with any in the house, but love those big yellow and black garden spiders in the flower beds. They're neat! 
My hubby, the big, BIG man that he is, is terrified of spiders. Seriously......he screams like a girl if one surprises him....and man can he move fast to get away from it! :crackup: I'm the one he yells for to save him if he sees one......"Tracyyyy!" 
Now, I'm a little naughty and every so often plant a fake one somewhere....like maybe the medicine cabinet. 
:twisted: Hey, it's desensitization therapy .......Oh yeah, just remembered the one he got for Christmas last year. He had an extra package from 'Santa' with a remote control tarantula in it. And 'someone' was naturally making it wiggle with the control as he opened it. Good thing he loves me and is a good sport!
Roxanne.....that is soooo funny!! :crackup: :crackup: I can just picture it......hilarious!! :crackup:
Apple Dumpling DesignsI did manage to go back for a "nap." :crackup:
Roxanne, your poor hubby...so does he have a black eye NOW?
Spiders...don't particularly like them...can't say I'm afraid of them but snakes well now that's another story. They just plain creep me out with their slithery crawly cold flickery tongued ways....ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
Newcastle, OntarioYou gals are meanies LOL! Hubby hates spiders but I just pick them up and plant them outside. I think I mentioned on here before that we had a large wolf spider that lived under our washing machine in the basement for years. The kids would kill flies etc and take them down stairs and put them in a little pile for "Charlotte". Even the cats just walked by her
When we lived in Kemptville, we were right by the river and the back of our house was in the sun most of the day. There were hundreds of spiders there and it drove poor hubby crazy. You just have to think that they are doing a huge service for the environment by eating all the nasty, germy flies.
hugs,
Brenda
Posts: 8,574Shantelli, honey why are you up? Why am I up?
My leg starts hurting everynight between 2 and 3 in the morning. Its simply phantom pain and as soon as I get up and do some exercise, a little yoga, and couple miles on the stationary bike my leg is all better.
Phantom pain is when nerves are severed either due to surgery, or loss of limb or catastrophic accident.
But as soon as I get distracted I don't feel it so badly anymore....not a problem.....you wouldn't believe how much more i am getting done on my dolls.
Spiders.....yuck
I hope everyone remembers the rules, for our arachnaphobes: No gruesome pictures of spiders without a really big warning!
golly hugs

Back Road BearsYeah, Laura... NO PICTURES!!!!
Roxanne...... that is SOOOOOOOOOOOO funny!
Brenda, I wouldn't be able to set foot in the basement if I knew there was a wolf spider in there. I'd go to to the laundry mat and I'd also be making sure there was NO WAY it was coming up throught the floor, the opening under the door, along the pipes. Oh my I'd be so fearful I'd be paralyzed. I guess I just wouldn't be living there! 
No worries!!! Won't post that photo here.... it was from one of our trips to the Amazon jungle in Brazil. I'm TERRIFIED of snakes... and yes, saw some... but I really wanted to go
A WOLF spider????/ Aren't those poisonous? eeeek! Scary stuff!
Posts: 3,177Just move house Wonks...........beats cleaning...........when you mess up the new place just move on to another one - i managed to do this for about 14 years. Now we have settled i am seriously thinking about getting a cleaner. Can't abide Piders myself, they make me hyperventilate and go a strange colour. Bloody awful things - hope you killed it.

Laurie Lou BearsI'm with you on this one Shantell-I don't mind spiders too much but snakes give me the creeps.I don't watch programmes on them especially before I go to bed or I end up dreaming that they are out to get me. 
We only have two in this country- the adder which is poisonous and the grass snake and they are enough for me.
Laurie :hug:
Swan Valley BearsOh yes . . . I love to vacuum the spiders up with my central vac. Hubby empties it once a month. I keep waiting . . .
One time my hubby hit me in the face in the middle of the night. I let out a scream that woke the kids up. When I realized it was him who hit me and not a burglar, I asked hubby, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" and my hubby said "Oh never mind." He didn't remember it in the morning.
