Just couldn't resist -- we have a thread about snakes, another for lizards....what about the misunderstood spider?

Anyone have a cute spider story to share?

Now that the construction has reached some of the fringe areas of TV, perhaps we will have a land shark sighting, Anybody seen one?

Here's a cute spider documentary I found!

Loved it! They missed a spider on speed though....I imagine that would be some web!

Here's my spider story; spiders, like most things that crawl around, scare the absolute whillies out of me. I am truly a phobic!!

Years ago I was in my upstairs bedroom when I saw a horrifyingly huge (defined as any spider big enough for you to be able to see the hair on its legs) spider on the wall. I screamed bloody murder and flew down the steps, screaming for my husband to hurry up there to kill the spider. He raced up the stairs and with a few loud 'whacks' it was all over.

A few days later I could hardly believe it - I saw another huge spider just like the first one in our master bathroom on the wall. Again I screamed and my husband raced upstairs and took care of this beast! Then he turned sheepishly to me and started laughing uncontrollably!! I wondered what could possibly be funny at a terrible moment like that! He said, with tears from laughing running down his face, "Honey, I hate to tell you this, but the other day when you saw that spider I ran up here and looked all around where you said you had seen it, and it was no where to be found. I knew that if you didn't think I'd killed it you wouldn't sleep a wink that night, so I whacked a magazine against the wall so you'd think I'd gotten it!! I figured it might turn up again eventually, but I didn't know what else to do!!"

I wasn't a swearing lady, but that made me swear! Then we both laughed hysterically!!

momesu.......Methinks perhaps that katezbox has been golfing with a young lad by the name of Harry Potter..... HOWSEZABOUTIT Kate was that you golfin at Havana with the young lad all decked out in the black clothing????

In the past I have also had a terrible fear of spiders. My husband used to do the same as Katezbox, until I made him start showing me the dead spider before I would believe him. Now he automatically brings the dead bug for me to inspect before flushing it.

Now, that I'm not so bug a phobic, sometimes we do a catch and release.

Can ya'll buy spidering tackle, equipment n'bait at the Walmarts or do ya'all have to go to one of dem-der fancy sports specality shops?
