    Yesterday I was cleaning out some stuff for a big garage sale. Well I was looking at some boots I have and thought, better shake em out for maybe a spiders in it. After I thought they were clean I noticed a spider right between my legs. NOT COOL!

    Ever shook out your towel before a shower/bath and one fell out of it? NOT COOL!

    I have been seeing them a lot this year. -_^??

    Spiders are wonderful (and powerful) totem animals. It's very possible that spider has chosen to accompany you on this stage of your life's journey. Don't reject her (and don't squash her). Your association will benefit you.

    Spiders really do creep me out. Around here we have bunches of black widows (most potent poinsonous spider in US, I've been told) and brown recluses.
    A friend almost lost a leg from a brown recluse bite...another evil chick I know had no effect but a black dot. So there you go, huh.

    The largest spider ever found was 8ft long weighing 530lbs. It would be interesting trying to smash that thing. lol.

    I usually leave the spiders alone when I find them in my house or garage because they prey on the bugs I don't like. There are some times when one will turn up in an unlikely place and surprise me, like dropping out of the ceiling and landing on me or crawling up on me when I'm trying to sleep,..those are the ones that get squished :eek:

    Can´t say that I have. But I can related to having a premonition about some creepy insect crawling out of things before it actually happens. Why do creepy things like me? Does it mean I´m one of them? :sad:

    Did you kill it?

    I understand all the good stuff about spiders, pest control, totem animals, friend of man blah blah blah but the truth is I hate those multi-legged motherfuckers. I watched a tarantula eat a mouse while I was living in the Amazon basin...also saw some glow in the dark mofo's that strung their webs up across the paths at night. I'm rational about all kinds of stuff in life but spiders ain't one of em. Fuck spiders and the web they rode in on!
