Okay, so billytea and other people who know creepy crawlies, what kind of spider is this? And what are the four white things? And should I kill it or just relocate it off the adirondack chairs? [link] Jilli, don't look.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Also, Venus? Why Venus? It's like the worst place to visit in the Solar System.
Pfft, have you been to Mercury? I didn't think so.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
chiggers
Don't know about a powder, but 25% DEET has always done a good job of keeping chiggers away for me. And when I forget to spritz on the DEET and get bit, Chigarid is good at soothing the itching.

I went to the airshow last month just to watch the Harrier perform.
spider
Not much detail, but it does not look like a brown recluse, and definitely not a black widow. The white things are probably egg cases. No need to kill it.

Not Billy, but I bet those are egg sacs.

I don't know what chiggers are, and I don't want to.
You know, those magnetic jars wouldn't be that hard to make. It's a question of getting the magnets.

Little teeny tiny red bugs and they get between your toes and itch like a Mofo.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Steph, I have good news and bad news.
Good news: I also went there.
Bad news: I love Magnolia.
I think I knew that. I suppose you -- and JZ -- are allowed your totally wrongheaded opinions, though I weep copious tears for your wrongheadedness.
Heh. Teppy, I was hesitant even making that reference, knowing your hatred of Magnolia....
It's gotten legendary, hasn't it? Like Theo's hatred of JR.

Pfft, have you been to Mercury? I didn't think so.
The surface of Venus is hotter that the sunny side of Mercury, the atmospheric pressure is 90 times that of Earth, and it has clouds made of sulfuric acid.
