For Jay
 

I was spring cleaning windows one day and I had one of these nearly jump on me. This is a jumping spider. Only the one that nearly jumped on me was black in color with a purple spot on it. Hard to kill them.

You were ready with the Raid for them spiders, weren't you? :lol

When my neighbor was alive, she would have me to water her outside plants for her when she took a trip. I was sticking my hand in the water meter box to turn the water on and off not knowing that there was a black widow spider in there.

No big deal though...the water department has pictures of snakes nesting in the meter holes because it is damp and cool. I'm glad I did not encounter one of those.

Now that is something I would shoot.

I have had long term arachnophobia since I was a small child. I have discovered that a nice strong dose of Raid, Black Flag, etc. is an excellent treatment for the sudden onset.

The worst spider incident that I had was in the church by the bathroom. There was a large gray spider sitting there at the door way. I promptly fetched and hit him with the poison gas. He did not immediately react but rather started running away. Once I had him looking snowed on, he finally started to show reaction. I had to keep spraying him for a while to make sure that he actually died as he would seemingly start to recover after a short time.

I would rather deal with a serpent to a spider any day.

AYR... we have to add it to the list:

Girl who can kill spiders without flinching.

Put it near the top.

Are there spiders on Titusville?

Re: For Jay
 

I think Jay went to Mattopia which is over run with venomous spiders, but we should still help him find a wife since there are no women there.

Or come to think of it perhaps Mattopia has already been destroyed... have not heard from Matt in a while.

Of course there are NO venomous spiders on Titusville, only pretty Orbweavers or Auraneus Cavaticus like Charlotte.

Maybe we should send Jay a copy of Charlotte's Web to help him find his inner arachnid.
