Being a beautiful Saturday I decided to take the kids and Kayaks up to a nearby lake. When I pulled the second kayak down off the rack I found a big, fat, juicy black widow spider on my arm! Fortunately I saw it right away and shook it off and stomped the hell out of it, but I'll bet my shrieks could be heard for miles.Black widow spider bites can be very painful, I would just as soon avoid all that. Not to mention that I find spiders to be the most gross and creepy things ever - I'd take ten rattlers over on big spider any day.
I'll be calling the bug man first thing on Monday and in the meantime I'll be giving the garage a wide berth. *shiver*

Crunching the spiders is as bad as seeing them, to me!! I have to get up the nerve to squash them before they skitter away. I agree--a dozen snakes is not as bad as a single big, fat, ugly spider. UGH. Full body shivers!!! I'm glad he didn't bite you.
Did you go kayaking anyway?
Oh, thank you ever so for those nightmares. I was just about to go for a walk in the woods, too.
YUK!
I can't even look at the picture! Full frontal arachnophobia.
My barn at home (Deland, FL) is full of big hairy spiders. I usually send the hubby to get things in there. These things are the size of a man's outstretched hands. Even dead, they're creepy.
You're right---give me a good old snake any day!
HELL no! I won't stick my feet down in them until they've been thoroughly fumigated LOL!
I am with you, snakes, not a problem (and I am in AZ), BUT spiders, no way. Your picture is totally creepy. Where spiders are concerned, the vacuum is my friend.
Yeah, thanks for reminding me about last week's round of fun with a black widow spider.
As in, I saw one, on its web, between the recycle can and the outside wall of the house. I think I used half a can of Raid on that little fucker, and probably drowned it rather than gassed it. Who cares, it's DEAD!
Wow you were lucky! I would have a-bombed that shitter! I hate spiders!
Oh!? Is that what all the noise was. Just you screaming over a teeny spider that could cause lots of problems.
this one is so scary
