My two oldest brothers were sitting there and laughing at my screams of "take it off me". They let it crawl almost up to my chin before they swatted it away.

My older son (18 yrs old) just announced a few days ago he hates, despises and fears spiders with all his being. It's funny that I should read this post a few days later.<br /><br />One morning, many years ago and stationed in California, I woke up and felt something fall off my leg. Then came the pain. I jumped out of bed, screaming horribly. My husband awakes in a confused/conderned befuddle. That was a definite search and destroy mission that succeeded! But first we had to make sure it wasn't a brown recluse or black widow that live in our area. Yikes!!!

When my now husband and I first started dating, he made me dinner at his house (now our house, which is a very, very, very fine house). He had just gotten back from a 6-month trip to Africa and had a great photo book with the scenery and animals. I flipped the page, mesmerized by the hippos and giraffes, and there, next to a cute kitten, slithered a snake. When Chris heard the scream, he ran out of the kitchen to see his date standing on the couch and his photo book flying across the room. That photo book has been in hiding ever since, a sort of witness protection program.<br />Man, I'm getting paranoid just thinking about it. I won't be able to put my feet down for another hour or so.

Otherwise, it shall be left alone to dwell. Part of the reason for this is that out in the area we live black widows tend to be common and other spiders help keep them out. Also, they eat other bugs like flies and mosquitos which can otherwise be a bother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
