Wait a minute stales-- if you don't kill spiders, doesn't that make a spider person? i mean, is a cat person the one you seek out to drown a sack of cats? (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..

but am in no way a spider person! (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?

I'm with you Helen! My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

doesn't every one use candles for lighting?
i had a party recently, and one guest said it looked like a movie set.. they didn't think real people had 100 candle on hand.
and wow, while i am in your camp about spiders in general, our friends down under have some pretty nasty spiders. a bite from a brown reclusive spider is pretty nasty (north east North American), but one from a funnelweb spider is deadly.. (don't even ask how i know this...)

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!

I have that very statement up in my kitchen, in the loungeroom one that says "This house was cleaned last week. Sorry you missed it!" and a magnet on my fridge which justifies the state of my home by saying "Dull women have immaculate houses" ... Think my family are on to me .

Not to mention the Redback on the toilet seat ... more Australian folklore for you!
And ok, I'll bite... How do you know about our funnelweb, of troy? Had a close encounter?
