I think they're going to take over. :scared:

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Eek!!

But then again, maybe they'd do a better job. :hi:

Let's just hold each other and freak out awhile. :pals:

[Mutley]

6. Sounds good to me.

:hug: :D :hi:

[riona]

2. I hate it when they do that

Awhile back, had one dangling over my dinner plate. Ruined my dinner, I must say.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. When I was pregnant (really pregnant) with my daughter we were

having dinner with my folks. My mom looked over and said (really calm like),"There's a spider in her hair..." I don't think a 9 month pregnant woman has ever moved so fast. I know I haven't moved as fast since then. ;)

5. I'm finding spiders everywhere these days.

I freaked a little the other night when I looked up and saw a big one crawling across the ceiling of my bedroom.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. We live by the water so they are all over.

There is a HUGE one living behind my car mirror. It comes out at night and scuttles back in in the morning when I take my daughter to school. I never drive with the windows down. :scared:

9. We have ponds, bears, buffalo and mountain lions.

BUT not in my bedroom!!!

11. Heehee. Great thread!

All we have roamin wild are cats, and the occasional raccoon. We are overun with squirrels. :rofl:

[Rhiannon12866]

29. I remember that one..:D

Didn't I mention the time I drove home and found one attached to the front of my car, like a hood ornament?!:D

And I love mice, even had one for a pet in my youth, named Franklin Delano Roosevelt.:D But I wasn't thrilled to have one in my kitchen... It took me forever to lure him back outside.:-)

Last week I saw a pair of wild turkeys crossing the road. And we have foxes, coy dogs, the cutest bunnies and lots of deer. Good luck with the mountain lions! Yikes!

8. Does he need a wash?

:shrug:

Sorry Mrs. G., I should be comforting you from the shock. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Don't they always...icky little things...

:rofl:

I find much comfort in your humor. :hug:

10. Ick, I've had that happen and worse.

I was opening a can of soup a few weeks ago and all of a sudden a spider came crawling down the side of the can. I don't think the spider was in the can (how could it survive???), it must have been hiding somewhere on the can opener, but I threw the soup out anyway. Last Wednesday my husband was removing his tallis (prayer shawl) from it's bag, which he left unzipped the night before, and a huge spider came flying out with it. I screamed. He even looked a little freaked out.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. I wouldn't have been able to eat it either. In fact, I probably would

have been put off about soup for a long time. :hi:

[MelliMel]

14. I haven't had any canned soup since.

It reminded me of yet another reson why homemade is best.

[tjwmason]

30. Welcome to D.U.

:hi:

Homemade certainly is always best. :D

[Neoma]

15. I have a creepier story then that.

I found a brown recluse spider crawling up my *ahem* naked *cough* hip and that i picked it up for 15 seconds wondering if it's a Grand-Daddy-Long-Leg and threw it against the wall with the only light source being my computer screen, course my computer chair is my bed so that just makes it worse.

Happened around a week or so ago.

[MelliMel]

16. That is the worst.

You win.

Ew.

Those things scare me more than anything else. Have you ever seen the photos of people who have bitten by a recluse?

Ew Ew!

[Neoma]

19. Not to mention at first the bite doesn't hurt.

Scared the shit out of me, i'm still not over it.

[BikeWriter]

17. Run him through the washer.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. He was in a pile of clean towels waiting to be folded.

:scared:

[BikeWriter]

23. Yikes!

[Random_Australian]

18. it is not big. Must I share Aussie spider stories?

[BreweryYardRat]

28. Share them...

...those of us who know what Aussie spiders can hit in terms of size don't mind *cough*clock-sized Huntsman*cough*, and it'll freak out those who don't.

[billyskank]

24. They're scary buggers, aren't they?

Considering how small they are. What became of it?

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. It was escorted to the nearest exit via a paper cup and a popsicle

stick. :hi: :hug:

[billyskank]

27. ...
