OMFG - BLACK WIDOWS!!!

[Brenda Starrr]

Oh gawd! My flesh is just.......crawling! I hate spiders.

[Fierce Critter]

were you wearing gloves?

that would have been my 1st suggestion, even before the black widows were encountered.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ordinarily, when touching really gross stuff, I put on a pair of rubber gloves. But I forgot today. This was a sort of spur-of-the-moment thing, and didn't stop to think about it.

Would have been wise. I touched some REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY gross, unidentified matter today. Much of which smelled dead.

You should see that damned shed, though. Fine job if I do say so myself.

I've read that you can make napalm from gasoilne and styrofoam.

Strange. Posting that just now...reminds me of a Gregory Corso Poem-

Okay, back to work.

Your in NC? I love it there. Was just. Oh, and although spiders are supposed to be one of my so called 'totems' I am still having a hard time dealing with them.

So, I'm cleaning out the lean-to garage connected to the woodshop. Basically a big, open-front garage with a slant roof.

OMFG!!! This thing is SWARMING with black widows!

Yes, I'm being careful - basically cleaned off a 4-foot hoe and am using it to pick stuff up and move it around from a distance. Makes the going slow, and miserable in this humid heat. But no way I'm touching anything with my hands.

Gads, I hate this state. Hmm... seems like only 0.5 seconds since I last thought that...

Spiders make me scream...really loud...except for the little blond house spiders. I can handle those...the cat usually plays with them and eats them. Black widows...um...no.

I know, which is why in your thread/post where you say you'd love to live in NC, I responded " NO YOU DON'T".

You want the feel of NC for some time, head for northern Michigan. Just ask The Dark.

Trust me. There is nothing to do down here. James Taylor learned to play guitar the way he does by locking himself in a room for 3 years 'cause there was nothing else to do down here (he's from NC).

You might like it if you were raised that way. But if you're used to having decent-sized cities nearby and all the related activities (clubs, stores, etc), you'd be absolutely miserable once the charm of being in a the quiet countryside wore off.

And believe me, it wears off FAST.

Ewww...

I do not really have much of a problem with spiders in general, except for those creepy white small ones, and of course, the ones I know are poisonous. The second I saw that there was a black widow in there... I would have refused to go in there again. Fuck that!

[pixiefae]

Black widows are also found in Michigan. I used to catch them as a kid. (Didn't know the danger back then, and happy to say I was never bitten.) I think now, you'd have to really trek some ways to find them here-out in the country.

[Fierce Critter]

Yes, I had a single encounter with one when I was about 12. But that was waaaay south near the Indiana border, and it was in a gravel quarry type of place.

[paradox]

black widows arent native to michigan though, and are quite rare. so are brown recluse. they usually get here as peoples pets or shipped in with produce or other goods.

[The_Dark]

Might want to check your research. Northeren Black Widows are native to the whole lower peninsula of Michigan and are common if you now where to look.

[paradox]

:blushing pwned :fear

never mind me... :erm :fear

[Fierce Critter]

Actually, last I heard, brown recluses are also plentiful in Michigan.

I had thought both were pretty well established in Michigan, but just didn't feel like checking my sources right now.

[Scary Guy]

My parents friend Joe got bitten on the back by a brown recluse. He now walks with a cain.

OH yeah and they found the spider in Arachniphobia where if it bites you you die almost instantly, with no hope of recovery (or so I heard).
