a spider just repelled from my ceiling..

[frylock]

I was gonna grab her line and move it outside, but it scurried under the recliner, so I've decided she can stay. But if it had happened up in my bedroom, I would have been moving furniture trying to find the thing so I could remove it from the premises. It's not that I don't like spiders (I never kill them and always catch and release), but there is nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night with a spider crawling across you. Try getting back to sleep after that!

7. I did tell her that,

I also told her that they were good luck (I made that up) She wasn't interested in either story ! She doesn't scream like a banshee anymore (unless it lands on her) but she still makes me kill them, but i catch them and set them free. I took her on her first camping trip this summer, I'd forgotten about all the bugs ! We had a good time, but She's in no hurry to go back !!!

5. I think you swallow eight or so spiders in your sleep over a lifetime.

In Minnesota, I don't think any are dangerous, so I just dust out the cobwebs when I see them, and ignore the scurrying fellas so long as they aren't in the way.

Fer gawds sake don't tell her that!
