Articles: The Succession is Secured |
Posted by

The torch is now passed and the succession is secured. I have now found a replacement for my bathroom spider, for anyone that is interested!
I stepped into the bathroom yesterday, to prepare the area to re-dye my boyfriend's purple hair. Lo and behold, there was a little spider, complete miniature of the one he killed, hanging from the center of the ceiling at eye-level.
I took hold of its string and it crawled up to my hand. I showed it to my boyfriend, and he said I could keep it, just not in the shower. I tried to put it in the opposite corner to the shower, but it wouldn't go. It just wanted to crawl all over my hand. Finally I deposited it on the picture I have on a nearby wall, and it crawled over to the corner all by itself and started to build a web.
Uncannily, that was not the only spider in my day. When we got into the car to go shopping, I found another spider on my lap. He (my boyfriend, not the spider) objected to a spider in the car, so I carefully scooped it up and tossed it gently out the window. I hope it found a happy new home.
So of course, I had to buy a spider ring that day. I am wearing it now. It is beautiful. I like spiders!!!

Wow. This is almost scaring me. Another spider just came down from the ceiling beside me as I was using my computer. It came down to eyelevel, I put out my hand to touch it, and it scurried back up to the ceiling and is hanging out up there now. What is this with me and spiders recently?
Come to think of it, the first time my boyfriend and I really connected was when we were just becoming friends at work. We saw a spider, he stepped on it, I protested, he picked up his foot, and it scurried away, because miraculously it had lodged between the treads of his boots. I bent down to comfort the poor thing, and he just laughed and laughed.
So maybe it's not me and spiders recently. Maybe I was a spider in a past life? Who knows!
Spiders of the world, unite!

We too have a bathroom spider. This is no gentle beast, however. It's a vicious beast of prey... the thing is horrific... it's a small spider and has about 3 wolf spider corpses in its web. That's why it's still alive, it kills those huge, very frightening ones. Although it's growing, on the diet of many large, vicious spiders... I'm no wussy, but I've been cautious around spiders ever since a recluse bit me once, and its venom ate a good chunk of flesh out of my leg... now, when I see a large, brown spider, I kill it... the kids (the twins, espically) like to play with them, and I'm terrified that they'll play with the wrong kind of spider someday, and get a nasty bite out of it. Here in Colorado, there's this spider epidemic, too. There is a yearly moth migration that keeps them well fed, and the house gets invaded by spiders... we see about 10 a week... huge wolf spiders.... *shudder*

Ever since I read this I keep seeing spiders everywhere...I found a rather scary looking one crawling up the front of my shirt, one was making its way across the floor, a huge one in my bathroom, and a little one that lives by my computer monitor (i've been feeding that one lately, it's kinda my pet now)....just thought i'd share...
