Ewwwwwwwwww. Another reason not to live in FL.....

"The Golden Orb Web Spider's venom is generally harmless to humans and they rarely bite even if we blunder into and destroy their webs. The bite is just a scratch. They are clumsy on the ground."

Thankfully spiders around here are pretty boring. Mostly what I see are wolf spiders when I'm digging in the yard or in the garage.

CC - you guys down there have all the good snakes and bugs

I've never seen or heard of most of the spiders on that list...

Funnel webs ...good thing we don't have them here in WA..

White tails & red backs-they're in our back yard...they can stay there...i'm not going to bother them..

Huntsmans... Let's just say more people in australia die from these spiders than the others..purely from fright...a true fact (not the kind of spider you want to see in your car whilst driving...)

Bikerchick68 should have fun in australia with the creatures!!!

BIlly connelly once said he heard how a certain spider in aust would kill if bothered...His reply was "how stupid would a person have to be to bother x spider.." nuff said ..

I met Billy Connelly at a party in the late 70's. (I was a wee tad) He taught me how to pour a beer into a glass.

I wonder if Pam minds that a big ol' agnostic quasi-Buddhist Unitarian d*ke is rooting for her to beat her colon cancer?

(and no hard feelings about my sig line getting censored)

That's what killed my dad. (the cancer, not the sig line)

Get yer butts checked, ladies! And eat those veges and fruits! Take your calcium citrate! Drink lots of water!

Good energy is good energy, no matter where it's from, and it'd be silly to mind.

Geez, ladies, you'd think getting to bed so late, I'd get a clue and sleep in, but nooo, the sun hadda come up.

How's everyone this morning?

[chickwhorips]

don't complain about that sun! i got to see it for a few mins yesterday and had hope that it still existed!

beta you can come visit me. no snakes or spiders. we have other larger things, but don't worry about those..... they are just here to make it a real alaskan adventure.

Sleeping in? What's that?

Today is a beautiful day here. I did some cleaning around the house and am watching the remake of charlie and the chocolate factory again. Johnny Depp is delightfully creepy in this movie. I had some friends over last night, and we had some adult beverages so I'm waiting for my stomach to settle a little before I do anything else...

I'd love to see Alaska some day.
