Schoooooby...AHHHHHHH....you'll appreciate this. UDATE *Death of a Spider*

I went outside on our porch...and there is a big ass spider web covering a whole lot of it. Below is an illustrated picture of me, the web and the spider. Please...try not to be too in awe of my awesome drawing abilities.

I'd take a picture but it's too dark to really see how big the web is.



Update: After moving to several different locations on my porch..I am saddened to report that the spider found his final resting place under our porch (where we walk out of our basement). He made a very large web...and after watching it for several days..he has not moved and he does not appear alive.

RIP little spider. You loved to laugh Weeping

LMAO I like it! That's the only reason Mohinder gets to live in the backyard. (we named him after one of the guys on Heroes - I wouldn't let hubby change 2 yr old Erik's name to Mohinder, so we settled for naming our spider Mohinder.) If he tried to come inside he'd be cat bait. nod

Ok thanks for bumping...


Last night I was getting ready for bed and noticed my make up case was webby. I thought WTF...(yes I did)...because I just cleaned the whole bathroom and house a few days ago...then I thought..crap...it must be in my make up case! EEK!
Sooo I zipped it up and just then I looked on my counter and there it was! an ugly wolf Spider as still as could be..hoping I wouldn't notice him on my dark counter...but spy him I did!
So I grabbed a couple of tissues and squished him up and tossed the wad into the toilet and shut the lid.
After I went into my room and got my jammies on...laid in bed and thought...what if I didn't kill him when I did the squish???

Of course I went back in and looked..and sure enough...there he was...standing on top of the floating tissues...just waiting! OMG
So I flushed his arse! Flex
Crylol Crylol

Oh gosh..Wolf spiders are HUGE! I probably would have taken the makeup case outside...set it on the lawn and ran back inside laugh out loud (I hate spiders but I feel bad killing them). I remember when I lived with my parents I'd capture spiders in a glass and then go outside and throw the cup onto the lawn (so it wouldn't crawl out of the cup while I was letting it go)..the next day my dad would go out and see it and say "Found another spider, huh?" laugh out loud

I can't believe he survived the squishing and being thrown in the toilet. Seriously...holy cow! Jawdrop

Did you wiggle the web? Remember I thought Mohinder was dinner until I wiggled the web. He was not amused. Nono

Secret He's only still because he's plotting the best way to enter the house without detection. Or maybe it's a she and she's in gestation and about to hatch several hundred of her precious offspring who then by the sheer tininess of their bodies will be able to sneak into your house by near invisible means.

I don't doubt it...wolf spiders freak me out Shocking laugh out loud

In our basement..when we first moved here..we had an exterminator come and he said there were over 60 of them down there (most were dead) SIXTY!! It's a walk out basement too so I was surprised there were so many.

Is this the first one you've seen in your house?

Oh...and quit it with the spider smiley Annoyed

Fine...I'll name it Arj...in honor of you since it's so creepy.

The web is way too high. But the web is just strings now and it's just hanging from it. I'll just have to assume it's dead. Though watch me go out tomorrow and it'll be gone. Blast it laugh out loud
