Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for October 27, 2023

I agree with Jimbo.

I think Christina, Miles O’Brien’s pet, was elegant and graceful. Unaggressive, and slow enough to run away from. OTOH, when I saw a black widow on the handle of my neighbor’s grill’s propane tank, I knocked it to the patio with my left flip flop, and then used my right (flip flopped) foot to step on it hard.

…and we’d thought that Tom Holland was arachnophobic!

No wonder he’s scared. He forgot his thread and straight pins.

I suspect that Meemaw had a hand in this… or the spider got into her Jalapeño Garlic Relish stash.

Interesting change on Jimbo’s face…going from blase to scared in no time…

It’s a garlic spider!

Spiders are our friends. Stay safe and healthy my friends.

Spiders are beneficial. VERY few are venemous, and they eat bugs like flies, mosquitoes, and even wasps that get caught in their web. Leave them alone and they leave you alone. I don’t mind them at all, and I AM female so that throws the old addage out the window.

maybe it’s in her mamma’s yard, so alter ego spider

Spiders are good. They eat bugs.

Spiders are cool.

Maybe not “cute”, but some are beautiful.

Def with Jimbo on this one!

I rescued a small tarantula from the middle of the street in front of my house and placed her in my backyard yesterday.

Spiders eat the bugs you really don’t want in your house.

Spiders have eight EYES just like their eight legs.

It’s the dreaded GARLIC BREATH SPIDER!!!

Spiders are your friends and this one is rather cute.

Poor Jimbo. Cuddly spiders are just not his bag.

I don’t like bugs in general (and I know that a spider is a not a bug) and I am terrified of animals of all sorts (poor sister could not have a pet larger than a hamster or goldfish and they scared me too) – which is bad enough.

But husband is absolutely TERRIFIED of spiders – so while he deals with other bugs, I have to deal with spiders. I try to do so without his noticing or he will be scouring the house to look for more of them for me to deal with.

Our neighbor puts up huge black spiders. I go over and pet them on the head.
