She was there for quite a few weeks because tackling a spider of this size was very scary for me but eventually the loins were girded and she was evicted with no harm to herself. I had the shudders for a few minutes afterwards though. Tweed The summer I was 17 I took on the task of cleaning our large double garage. It hadn't been done in years. In the course of the one afternoon, I dispatched 28 black widow spiders. I hate spiders, but SLC had an "epidemic" of them at that time./ I hate spiders. MLB I do not hate them. Hate is a strong word that I reserve for Hitler and Bin Laden. I don't like them and I have a problem with the really big ones but that is my problem, not theirs. Tweed |

It only looked like she was looking at you because she turned her head in the direction of the vibration although spiders have poor eyesight they will still turn towards vibration or noise (their hearing isn't bad and the sense of vibration is superb) Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

I'm not sure she turned her head at all, tbh, but having one of the largest spiders I've ever had in my house appearing to stare at me freaked me out. You have to remember I was a true arachnaphobe until I got as bit Buddhist. Most arachnaphobes will kill any spider because they simply cannot cope with them. My heart was beating so hard to gather her up and put her outside unharmed but I managed it. I needed a stiff drink afterwards. If you are one of those people who can take a large spider in your hand and remove it without almost dying of fright, I admire you. I wish I could. I can't. I've come a long way about spiders, but I simply could not touch a big one unless someone was nearby with a defib. Tweed |

Dave's terrified of wasps- many years ago back before mobile phones etc I got a call at work from a phone box asking me to rush home as Dave had seen a wasp and ran out the door, slamming it behind him to escape the wasp. When he finally stopped rejoicing that he had escaped the wasp it occured to him that his keys were inside the flat and he was completely and utterly naked....he had to knock on the flat next door and when the woman in there came to the door he told her not to open it but could she just call this number from the pay phone? And could she not leave her flat for 5 minutes while he scurried off to the shower room where he had to sit for well over an hour before I got there with my spare keys and he still wouldn't go in until I went in and chased the wasp out the window! That's a really funny story. Of course I have locked-out-of-the-house-naked story, too. No, it wasn't me. A friend of mine locked herself out of her house while stark naked. She was in the back, fortunately, and could stay hidden among some trees and bushes. A good friend of hers lived next door and had a key to her place, but she wasn't about to stroll over there. So she was stuck on the back porch, unable to figure out what to do. Next thing she knew, her friend was opening the back door from inside, having let herself in the front. Rescue! But how did the friend know to come over at that moment? Turned out that my friend's border collie figured out that something was wrong, and she (the dog) ran next door to get the friend. I want one! Also, years ago when my father had first moved into an apartment building, he accidentally locked himself out of his apartment. He had gone out to the hallway to get the newspaper, and the door was the type that didn't need a key to lock it from the outside. He shut the door behind him, locking himself out. Only problem was, all he had on was a pair of briefs (underwear). And he didn't know anybody yet because he had just moved in. He had to knock on someone's door, introduce himself and ask the neighbor to call the apartment manager. I'll bet that's something that neighbor has never forgotten! -- Joyce Beauty and music seduce us first; later, ashamed of our own sensuality, we insist on meaning. -- Clive Barker |

One reason I never go to the door for any purpose without a robe, or something that renders me "fit for publication"! (And it took only my first California earthquake to cure me of sleeping nude.) |

LOL! That reminds me of a friend of my son's. After one earthquake, he saw some sparks from an electrical box on a nearby pole, so he went outside to see it better and decide if it was a danger. He'd been out for about five minutes when he realized he was nude. Joy |

I suppose it depends upon the culture, but most of us feel pretty vulnerable if we find ourselves without clothes when everyone around us is wearing them! |
