- Go to Too Many Spiders
I, too, share your dislike of the little, scary creatures.

Too many spiders.
Dear DancesWithWords, Australia too has too many spiders and they are deadly. Last week I have to put the garbage bag at the back door. I have a small backyard with a medium spinning clothesline. I approached the garbage bin and loo! there was a spider suspended on it's web in front of my face. The spider decided to make the clothesline it's territory. In a sudden impulse I slapped the spider with my open palm. PLAKKKK! Good. It was gone. As I entered the house, my palm seems to be itcy. My heart jumped. Did the spider bit me? It was as big as a corn kernel. I looked at my palm I cannot see anything. I ran to the kitchen and placed a lot of white vinegar on it. I rubbed it constantly with the vinegar and started to pray while cursing myself that I should have respected the spider and just get the insecticide.
Now, I have learned my lesson and I would prefer to use the slippers to whack it out or an aerosol.
regards for now... prof

I enjoyed reading this
We have a song here about a red back on the toilet seat (Like a black widow) from the good old days when the dunny was outside with a wooden seat, next to the woodpile.

I understand that there are some breeds of spiders found in upstate new
York which are quite tasty and nutritious. I'm only kidding, but I have eaten a live cricket once.
When I thought of becoming totally self sufficient (I was smoking a lot of good BC bud then) I saw myself walking with my only necessities a sleeping bag and a net to catch insects for food. How independent is that? Oh, and I was dressed like a himalayan monk and shaved bald.
Do you live near Cooperstown? I've been their looking for edible spiders.
