Re: WOW
Haha, Justi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm doing okay...yeah, except for the stalking thing. I'm getting used to it, though. Unfortunately. Hope you're doing well.

Sir Strat,
If that happened recently, I'm sure word on the palmetto or spider world got wind of us...they're after you too now. I'm telling ya, they gossip amongst each other worse than a sewing circle. Beware. Get the combat boot ready, locked and loaded.

Hi Spitfire, I ain't sharing my abode with anything uninvited with my knowledge. Get him, her or whatever out of there. It may be poisonous. Hope you are doing well other than being stalked.

Just as an aside, Young Miss and Lady Char,
I once backed over one with my car, a Toyota Corolla at the time. I parked it on the son of a bitch, and he crawled right out from under the front left tire, shrugged, and flew right back into the house. That's a true story; I swear I am not making that up.
I hate those things.

I went to see my dad in Floriday one year when he was sick
I was waiting for my hotel room to be ready for me to check in. In the lobby I noticed this HUGE bug with wings walking across the floor. I was like HOLY CRAP! We don't get many big bugs here in Ohio. I slept that night with my clothes on. LOL
btw...I hate spiders. I would have killed it!

ladychar,
I just commented to Strat about those palmetto's before I read your comment. Yes, they are quite bold and fearless. I once feared one was gonna pick me up and throw me across the room!

Well, Sir Strat,
that's how the roaches are here, too. Especially the Palmetto bugs (I know you know them down here in the south....the flying roaches) They're HUGE, too. I've actually HEARD them walking across the floor. I had one chase after me on the pool deck after I tried to stomp at him to scare him away. I could've really used your combat boot!!

too funny strat - the preakness
i lived in ft. lauderdale in the 1970's and all i remember (bear in mind is was the 70's and qualuudes and weed were on my grocery list) is the salamanders and those awful palmetto bugs. and the palmetto bugs would attack when you turned on the light - not run away. either i was too high (most likely) or there is something in the water down there!!!

I used to have to sleep with a combat boot next to my bed, Young Miss.
There are saddlebred roaches around where I used to live, roaches that could win the Preakness, yet with all that potential, they have nothing better to do than dance n my toothbrush and skitter across my forehead when I'm tryng to sleep. Granted, that was in my youthful, single days when I didn't realy mind sharing my quaint little crackhouse with roommates that had exoskeletons. Now I'm older, more refined, and able to afford an exterminator. But I still have that combat boot.

Spiders
Spitfire,
I'm no expert on arachnids, but I don't think that they can hear, or if they can, they probably only speak via the web. (Sorry about that.) In critter talk. They probably don't understand English, either. I doubt that they can blink, look away, or target any of the gargantuan, grotesque looking, bipdal (EEEEW!) creatures that are like mobile skyscrapers, to them. The poor little creepy crawler, is probably cowering in a crack, behind a dust bunny, under a corner of the darkest part of your cupboards, traumatized beyond belief. Spidie will probably just wither away now, too terrified to venture out of his little crack, because you gave him the scare of his life. You big BULLY! At least throw the little newly agoraphobic arachnid a bug now and then. I don't think they need a water dish, though.
Guy

OMG, Talion!!!!!!
First of all, SOOOOOO great to hear from you. I've missed you! Secondly, I'm grateful to that truck for honking at you! GEEZ! See how they are? It's a total conspiracy! I know it. Maybe we were exterminators in business together in a past life. Ya gotta wonder!

BC-A,
He didn't go INTO the potty. That's just where the pursuit led us. If he was in the potty, well, then, problem QUICKLY solved. hehe

Good idea, Whack! I never thought of using
a duster for that purpose. Does it make them sneeze? Just curious cause that would actually be kinda cute.

One morning while driving to work, I stop at a red light. I'm minding my own business when all of a sudden, a big black spider slowly descends on a web from the rearview mirror. I swipe at him, miss, but sever its web. It falls directly in my lap. I frantically search for it, thankful my pants were zipped (we all know how spiders love flies), but it's disappeared. The next thing I know, I hear the booming horn of a tractor trailer. I look up and a massive truck is bearing down on me. It seems that in my search for the missing spider, I took my foot off the break and the car slowly drifted into the intersection, in the path of the speeding truck. Fortunately, I was able to get the car in reverse in time. I never saw the spider again. Since that day, it's open season on any and all spiders I encounter. They tried exterminating me. It's only fair I return the favor.

I usually grab my feather duster
it picks the little dear up. Then I take the duster outside and shake it till I'm sure the spider is out all the time explaining that outside is where he is supposed to be. That is also where the dust I shake out is supposed to be.

So funny! You told it so well too! I had one of your pals on the counter today, I thought that the granite would be too cold for the ends of his legs so I knocked him to hardwood floor; fearful he would stalk me as well I ran to my bedroom. Now I have made myself a prisoner in my own home. lol sam
Come get him!
