They offered me a sixteen hand massage. [shudders]<BR/>I am sooo with you on the ticks. My son got one this summer. I thought I had escaped the evil tick army when I stopped going on rural horror holidays with my parents, but I see that biological determinism has once more bitten me in the ass.

Oh no you di'nt! You did NOT invite me into your house and have me SIT there while you fed me the lethally-non-kosher combo of bagels, cream cheese, and crispy bacon and DIDN'T tell me I was in spider central! You. Did. Not. <BR/><BR/>I am SO outta here. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I know "L" is me...cuz of my maiden name. I know it is. <BR/><BR/>Why did I read this? More importantly, why did I read Lauri's comment?

Yay for shout outs! Either way I braved this post despite its forewarning and let. me. tell. you. I have accoutrement for spider battles that goes WAY beyond the plastic cup. You know that bug sucker vacuum from Sky Mall? Ever wonder who buys that crap? Me: Crap-buyer extraordinaire when it comes to fending off those beastly spiders. I use it ALL the dang time because we have spiders here, too. One in my closet not 48 hours ago. Another on the living room ceiling not 72 hours ago. Another GIANT one in the bathroom last week. All summer long my weeks have been punctuated by reminders of their existence as they infiltrate my house and plot my demise and repurposing of my remains as a nest for their young. Heebie effin jeebie, man. Karma schmarma, they get no second chances from me, my friend. You know where you never see spiders? NYC. Rats the size of small dogs, yes. Spiders, no. I highly, admittedly irrationally, recommend moving to NYC for this reason alone. But methinks that might not be an option. Also eucalyptus is supposed to deter them.Just one tall girl named Laurelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14041744853525049504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21014195.post-67422281702881188942008-08-12T13:37:00.000-07:002008-08-12T13:37:00.000-07:00I don't know if that L is me, but I am so arachniphobic. I am not reading your blog entry, sorry. I'm still freaked out over a story I read a few years ago, where a spider buried eggs under the skin of some guy's arm while he was sleeping. Yup, the eggs hatched.
