Camel Spiders???
*Googgling*
Oh God...now I'm going to have nightmares.....

Like you I hate house spiders... when I was deployed to Saudi I was chased by a camel spider. It was probably the same size as a roll of duct tape, with the legs. I wish I coulda left then... screw you guys, I'm going home.

I tried my hand at camp nursing one year...and that particular year was bad for the brown recluse spider. I can handle a lot of "gross stuff" but after seeing what those things did to the kids' skin....*gag*

sharks and poisonous spiders....I can't even do house spiders! OH...and snakes!!!

But the spiders and snakes don't come and try to getcha, they just hide in their spots and leave you alone. They don't come into your house like those bears and start sleeping in your bed to see which one they like the best and eating your breakfast.

On Okinawa, semi-tropical, spiders were our friends. They ate some of the other bugs!!! Snow is fine, but tropical bugs, not so much. And the poisonous snakes. And the typhoons. No. Mary

Kneeling on rice in the corner...don't you dare let your nose come off the wall either.
I have no idea how many times this was said growing up but I can tell you that it NEVER happened.

Wife's brother was put on his knees in the gravel driveway while the parents took the bleeding one to the doctor. You wanna guess how long he was in the driveway??? And if you think you are gonna get it now, don't even think about standing up. They could get back anytime.

Speak for yourself.
I AM completely normal you know!

Normal? Prove it!

Remember, the only ones who can PROVE they are sane are the ones with the release papers from the mental institution. If you show me yours, I'll show you mine...

Love the idea of a spider the size of a roll of duct tape, DH and I are laughing out loud.

They get bigger. They had a mounted dead one on display that some guys had killed. It had been chewing on their sleeping buddy's face. He hadn't put up his mosquito netting correctly. Anyway it was about 8-10 inches across from leg tip to leg tip.
Any insect that thinks I'm food can eat a can of Raid (if I thought it would work)

We are NOT pleased to hear that brown recluse spiders are moving north, into southern Michigan. Also Lone Star ticks. YUCK!!! Mary
