haah. I guess if you'd said the same thing back in 1975 you'd have got a quick witted wise-ass reply off her, and then left the place with both of you chuckling

prob not the right thread but earlier today I very clumsily threw an old cat litter tray down on the ground in my garden where I knew I'd seen a spider just a few seconds earlier. lifted the tray up and sure enough I'd splatted it. I was distraught. nearly in tears, no joke. and I've never liked spiders? really disgusted with myself.

made me remember how I'd spend hours barbequeuing ants with a magnifying glass for fun as a kid. or go around my grandmother's garden chopping up slugs with a trowel (which she asked me to do)

if there's karma in the afterlife for creepy crawly cruelty then I'm probably done

Spiders are the only living thing I'm scared of: Google "South African rain spider" if you want to know why and want to go 😳😳😳
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

not sure what's going on here but I just made a cup of coffee and a little moth immediately landed in it and died  :question:  :bluesad:

I can't be held responsible for that one, surely.

not heard of that one.... if they're anything like 'wolf spider', 'bird eating spider' and 'trapdoor spider' then I may need a stiff drink before looking :)

They aren't venomous but they can give a nasty bite, they are large and they look very scary.

ANOTHER ONE TO YOU:
IMAGINE BEING AWAY FOR FOURTEEN YEARS, AND WHEN YOU COME BACK TO A PLACE, THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT IS YOU. IMAGINE THAT, CAN YOU? YOU'RE LUCKY IF YOU CAN'T, OR EVER HAVE TO. THEY'LL USE ANYTHING LEFT IN YOU, AND BLAME YOU FOR THE RESULT.
MUCH LOVE.
