I tried to rescue a spider today, and I got it in a paper towel, and was opening the door and I felt it move in the paper towel, and without thinking, I squeezed…..
I’m sorry spider! My subconscious thought evil about you before I could stop it! Barely repressed evil spider fears; I’ll try to work on it, but I don’t have much hope.
Fred, that’s the limit. NO ONE in the universe or any of it’s dimensions can avoid saying “awwwwww” when he/she/they/it see a new kitten. Say, is your avatar of a new baby? Awwwwwww…pretty cute.
Here’s the thing, Burgundy2. I got complacent. I consider myself something of a spider whisperer, and I neglected to pay attention to the fact that this was a jumpy, nervous looking guy. I should have taken the time to get a nice thick glass and a recipe card. I did not, and Mr. and/or Ms. spider paid the price.
bleeep (That was the dread “d@rn) See how silly the nannybots are set up - jtp can say “bastard” but the dread word”d@rn” is bleeped. Makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?
(jtp: I’m in no way complaining about your post - just about the nannybot rules)
Actually, kirby, you can’t say bleeep unless you do something so the bots don’t recognize it, such as using @ instead of a or, as YOU did, putting quotations around it. (The bleep was once again d@rn, spelled the normal way - NOT “damn”)
It’s just so hard to end the career of a big ol’ spider who has gone to the work of building an extra sturdy web in the corner near the ceiling, then has amassed an impressive collection of gnat and fly husks in there to show how many annoying insects are NOT falling into my iced tea glass.
My husband insists on a limit of 3 visible spider homes in the house. A quick trip outside on the broom bristles, and they can fend for themselves. Spiders, not husbands… : )

I love a sensitive, though flawed, vampire, like Gary.

I have a coffee jar for evicting spiders, little buggers found a gap between the air conditioner and the window and told their friends and relatives.

Ushindi:
The word bastard really isn’t obscene, that’s why I knew I could get away with it.
