(No, i am not suggesting this is a good idea.. it is a bad idea.. to make my point!) So why should a spider person be the person you seek out to kill a spider? and just why is it, we think it's ok to have dogs and cats in the house, but not ants and spiders? definately insects have poor press--bug lovers of the world unite and save your friends! I keep my house clean and tidy, with everything in its place. mind you, the place for dust bunnies is under the bed, and the place for cobwebs is in the dark corners.. my other obsession Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Ant, hony, I'm home! #55423 02/06/02 01:39 PM Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,757 M maverick Carpal Tunnel maverick Carpal Tunnel M Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,757 too right, Helen!

(Killing spiders is womens' work at the stales place) You kill spiders? Those creatures that eat all the other bugs and hide in dark corners where you really have to look to find them. Besides, didn't your Granny ever tell you that killing a spider changes the weather?

Send me a spider, send me a spider!!! (Where's the hammer?) And while you're at it, send one to Bingley and Maverick... 5 days of downpours, I could do with a break - not to mention the fact that unless I kill a spider pretty darn fast, I'm going to miss out on being there to see the South Africans whip the K1W1s in the Cricket tomorrow!
