The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for February 16, 2024

But there’s a spider repository in the same room as the bathtub.

Ha! See? Me tolds you that was giant spider the other day. It look just like this one in shape. But some of you was claim it be ant.

Well be thanksfull at least she no SPLAAAAT you.

And be thankful it wasn’t me who discovered you.

I honor the spiders because they kill the flies.

I had a very large brown one crawl out from under my night stand.At first I thought it was a small mouse. It froze when I got near it. I killed it with a tissue. Then I felt remorse. I think she was trying to reach out to me….“Please save my children that are under your bed!”

When I collected Spider-Man, I never saw that he had a bond with spiders. He was never interacting with them or talking about them.

As spiders are beneficial to us by killing and eating other bugs, I do not kill them when they’re in the house. I have a cup and a piece of cardboard that I capture them and set them free outside.

Give it an all expense paid cruise – down the drain.

Dead spiders tell no tales.

Take a cold hard look at yourself.

Coincidentally, there was a black spider in MY tub this morning when I was about to take a shower. Being I was already undressed, I swatted it and flushed it down the toilet.

I haven’t seen a spider inside all year. I suspect the cats ate them.

I release all spiders, including scorpions. They eat insects that are not wanted such as roaches.

I keep a black widow in my bathroom. She’s not hurting anyone.

I see only 6 legs, so not a spider since they have 8. Cartoon people always have 4 fingers so I guess cartoon spiders can only have 6 legs….

Neither Hubby nor I are afraid of snakes, but he really does freak out over spiders. I keep telling him they kill flies and the like, but he kills them anyway. I used the old cup-and-card approach.

I put spiders outside, but if it’s too cold, I try to tolerate them for a while.

This time of year spiders and insects try pretending to be indoor pets.

Sometimes it’s a hard choice to make… if I put it outside on a coldly, tt will die, but if my cats see it, it will die a scarier death… they probably don’t know they are dying freezing to death!

She has a heart! I also relocate spiders outside. I think it is kinder that just killing them!

I recently found a cellar spider in the hall outside my bathroom and said “what are you doing out here??” and scooped it up and put it back in my bathroom
