Big Ugly

Today seems the day for big spiders...

I found one sitting on the wall in the computer room this morning just staring at me...eeeeuuuuwww. Being an arachnaphobe it was big-time freak out session. Hubby wouldn't leave work to deal with for me (pfft what good is it marrying a big strong man if they don't come running ) So I ended up phoning a friend and she sent her hubby over.

What was funny tho is that he came carrying a fly swatter! But I do have a bit of reputation with spiders...but when he came into the room he just looked at the spider and then at the swatter and asked if I have a dustbin to catch it in. We took a pic as proof that it actually was a big spider and he removed it and set it free in a field next to the complex.

I am so gonna buy him a big thank you gift.

That was nice of you to not kill it...but ewww I hate spiders!

I have to ask, did you take a pic to show just how big the spider was or that there was even a spider?

Where is the Pic of this big bad spyder???lol

Yay for not killing the beastie!! I may not like them, but they don't deserve to die

Now if it was a really big spider, imagine the splattering that would have happened with that fly swatter?!

But who gets to clean it up then?????

Since I'm a gardener I like spiders!!! But I know lots of people do not like them!!!

i never kill spiders. if you kill a spider imagine how many flies and bug will come to dance on its grave!

I don't want any spider on me, but I can coexist with them peacefully enough, now to convince the cats to stop eating them....

I do have a pet tarantula, but her terrarium box is very securely locked!

I don't really mind spiders I just hate it when there on me...lol

Will post the pic as soon as I get it off my phone and onto the pc. It really looks like a blob on my phone thanks to shaky hands and peering around the door.

I don't like killing spiders either, but I don't want them in my house either.

What did your kitty do? It seems like a kitty would go after it, given their predatory nature.

ewww. I absolutely *hate* and fear spiders! I have been known to call my husband to come kill it too lol.. but I dont have any remorse killin it. lmao

Luckily the kitties were already napping for the day at that point otherwise I'd be chasing them around to drop the darn thing.

I have a friend that CRIES when she sees a spider. We went to Petsmart one day and they were in the cage. She was walking past and didnt realize they were in there until she looked to the left.... I was so embarrased by her reaction!!
She screamed as if someone was killing her!! Workers came running over and nothing was even wrong!!

Never will I go into a pet store with her again.
Even worse... my 16 year old brother in law does the EXACT SAME thing when he sees snakes. On T.V. even.....
