Default How to NOT kill spiders

What a great day! I found a brown widow spider (didn't know they existed) right outside my door. I have a 3 year old daughter and my girlfriend has a 2 year old daughter so I think it's time to kill some spiders.

I run to the store and buy some spider spray.

spray me some spiders. I looked them up on line to verify what they were and it mentioned the egg sacks look like white sandspurs. I found several so I decide I'm going to kill those also.

In all my glorious wisdom, I stood on a little picnic table bench that was custom made for the girls so I could reach right up to the web..............






that's when the picnic table overbalanced and my 225 lb ass fell face first and cracked my skull on the window ledge. I bruised the orbit of my left eye and have 12 stitches and for sure a new scar...........also cuts and bruises on my left knee, right elbow, sore jaw, sore nose and sore back of head!! I just got home from the hospital.

It's weird, I used to paint antique homes with a friend about 11 years ago and I fell 26 feet from a gable and landing my jaw across a porch, one small bruise, I fell about 14 to 18 inches and really f'ed myself up!!!
might get pics up, all i've got of the gash over my eye are cell phones and you can't see how deep it really was!!

I freaking HATE spiders! I usually have my kids kill em for me. They are my one vise that I can't seem to get over no matter how old I get. In fact, it seems they (spiders) are getting bigger and scarier the older I get. :scared: I hope there isn't one by my computer. LOL

I wasn't ALWAYS skurd of spiders. It happened one time when I was about 20 years old. I saw a flourescent green spider on an outdoor water fountain. Well, I thought it looked cool, so I bent down for a closer look, and that little bastard JUMPED! Right on my face! Well, I staggered back smacking myself in the face. I musta looked like I was insane or like one of the three stooges. But ever since then, REALLY skurd of spiders.

I had a nice big brown recluse in my car once. He decided to show his ugly mug while I was driving down hillsborough by the airport. I was in the center lane (furthest away from the shoulder on the right) and this big bugger comes right out of the A/C vent and walks across my dash and then down right onto the steering column. I was on the phone and was like "OH SHIT!" My wife on the other end of the phone asks me if I was in an accident. I told her no, a big ass spider just crawled out of the A/C. She started LAUGHING AT ME over the phone! I hung up and got over as quick as possible. I got out of the car and SERIOUSLY considered calling AAA and/or walking home. LOL But, I looked and looked for that spider. I almost got back in the car without finding him, but I did a once over again and found him hiding UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL! I can see it now....."I'm sorry officer, but there was a spider under the accelerator, so I had to try to smash him by pressing down harder. Thats why I was speeding! HONEST!" LOL But I killed HIM with a water bottle.




















I usually just use a shoe to kill spiders. To hell with the sprays which MIGHT or MIGHT NOT work. A shoe works EVERY time.
