I raised my hand and asked when we would be covering what to do if you have a heart attack, because anyhow I get bit by a snake, I'm having one.

The one from the shower I called in reinforcements to handle. The one under my sons bed I grabbed a huge pair of his boots that didn't even fit him yet and I slapped the sucker down as hard as I could.....and the legs were sticking out of the bottom. The worst was this one in the basement, we were sitting there talking than my husband says "Don't move, just don't move I'll take care of it." It was like two feet from us and he went to hit it with a hammer, and missed!! It was horrible, the thing was zipping around this one foot radius and he was just wacking away missing it every time. Finally he got it and me and my sister in law were practically hanging from the floor boards by that point. You just have to ask yourself "Do I wanna kill it and get it over with, or do I wanna look in the mirror tomorrow morning and find it latched to my forhead?" When you look at it that way it'a alot easier, LOL! Now snakes I don't mind at all, I've played with them since I was little. I've been bit about a dozen times so it doesn't really phase me (garderner snakes ofcourse).

EEK. Spiders. My only fear! Next to dying, being buried alive, and what may have been hiding in Lindsey's fro.

I've never really understood that fear of spiders. Now wasps are another story.

Ohh, the eyes. Don't even mention those. Reminds me of where my fear of spiders started!

Storytime, kids...

I was five or so, and we had some family reunion deal at the house. Relatives from my dad's side, anyway, and me, being bored with the grown-up festivities wandered into the toy room (aka the room where we stuffed all of our crap, and are now trying to turn into a library). I remember playing with Castle Grey Skull, or whatever, and then looking up only to see THE biggest spider I have seen to date. It was this gigantic yellow thing, probably about the size of a tennis ball, and I could see it's rows of eyes. And as if THAT wasn't bad enough, it was also clicking it's fangs at me. Probably not directly *at* me, but you know. Put me off of spiders forever. Actually, when I was in the third grade, we had an entire unit on Spiders, and for awhile, I got over the fear. After that, it started up again, and I've never been able to stand spiders since.

Read my next post, and then maybe you'll understand! Wasps, eh, I'm not too terrified of. I got stung by one a few years ago.

I hate you all. Now I feel like they're crawling on me.

Oh my. That sounds like a really weird-looking spider. Well, I don't have a story to justify my irrational fear of wasps. They just look really evil to me and for whatever reason, spiders don't. I got stung by a wasp a few years ago and realized that it wasn't the worst thing in the world but they still just drive me crazy when they get around me. I start doing a jig unintentionally.

Yeah, I've never seen one that big since. My only theory is that he was left alone in there for so long, and just managed to grow undisturbed. It was just... huge. Isn't that WEIRRRRD?

Oh, the unintentional jig. That goes along with my unintentional leaving of the room.

I can't even watch that movie at all. For another reason.

I don't mind little spiders, but that gigantic one is another story.

Speaking of wasps, my classroom was infested with them for the past two weeks. We had to relocate to another room twice before the custodians took care of them.

I can't believe those damned spiders. An exterminator I hired once told me he used to live in New Zealand. According to him there are spiders there the size of a salad plate that weave webs across streets that are so big that birds get caught in them. I don't know if I believe him or not. He said he had one in his house once and when it ran across the floor he thought it was a kitten.

Damn, there goes my "escape to New Zealand" plan!

Ack!!! Good thing you got to be relocated. Those are conditions under which I definitely would not be able to teach.
