OK the spider is back and a google image check has confirmed that it is a brown widow. Now what do I do?
Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Um, stomp it? But only if you can do so without turning into Spiderman or something. Eek.
Take a clear tumbler and a piece of stiff paper, trap the spider inside, then take her to the outdoors and let her go.
Yeah, I vote "smoosh it"
Laga:
1. Find a heavy boot
2. Smash spider
3. Rest easier
I went right to bed at 6 p.m. when DH got home and I slept until 9:45. Probably not a good idea for my sleep cycle.
Yeah not so much with the stomping. It's in a web about two feet off the ground. That gives it way too much time to crawl up my leg. I called my boss. She's thinking.
I guess hitting it with a shovel would be overkill...
t Not to mention possible property damage.
Well, I have the history that says a medium caliber firearm is sometimes the first thing that comes to mind when dealing with spiders, but everyone seems to be universal in their disapproval of that plan.
Also I need a much better camera than the one on my phone. I can't get close enough to the thing to take a decent picture.
edit: and clearly she does not read her own press. That vestibule is not an out-of-the-way spot! People go in and out of there every day.
Ideally, I lean toward the liberal libertarian side of life. However, I also know that I can't trust people to do the right thing. so think a benign dictatorship with me at the head is a good idea. And then I realize that there are too many things I don't care about and don't want to live with - so i have to deal with our version of representational govt-and convince people one by one that I know what I am talking about. ( that isn't going to work either, is it. )
I'm for public education - but more importantly I'd love to see a real federal standard -so that there can be a a variey of ways used to meet the standard
hurray Susan! What a great thing to know you are doing a good job and creating a reader!
I am mixed when it comes to 'free time' on buses ,planes, BART etc. I read, daydream, watch dvds, and sleep.
