The black widow on it was even larger than the one described above. I immediately made my neighbor come out to smash it, thus proving myself correct that I will always choose to kill black widows.

That's just gross, man... but unlike some people, it won't be a black widow stewing in my digestive acids.Wingalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605180093122628361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30986512.post-1160150843075941742006-10-06T09:07:00.000-07:002006-10-06T09:07:00.000-07:00Sorry Wingal.

I just had to get it all off my chest - before it crawled back onto my chest in the middle of the night and I accidentally swallowed it in the way they always say you do with spiders while you're sleeping.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609457861988909462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30986512.post-1160148226679543482006-10-06T08:23:00.000-07:002006-10-06T08:23:00.000-07:00Okay, that was beautiful in a deeply-disturbing-to...Okay, that was beautiful in a deeply-disturbing-to-an-arachnaphobe kind of way. I killed a spider myself last night, but used the more expeditious and probably less painful method of a Size 10 brown, be-bowed flat purchased at Target for $16.99 in a time of financial difficulty/upcoming-conference desperation. <BR/><BR/>And you know, unusually, I felt bad about it, too. Now I'm depressed and feeling sympathetic for that one creature that absolutely paralyzes me with fear. But I'll still kill the next one I see.Wingalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605180093122628361noreply@blogger.com
