About 15 years ago DH and I were living in New River, a suburb of Phoenix. Back then it was considered "out in the country". We were sitting in the living room one day watching TV when, what crawled out from under the coffee table? You got it, a big, hairy, disgusting tarantula!
I flipped out! I didn't stop to measure it, just know that sucker was huge!
It took me a long time to feel at ease in that room again!
