Apparently she has a relative in Reno.

idly wonders if this would work for frogs...

[CJrun]

Frogs? Who could get stressed by these cute little things?

[Jeff Meyerson]

Let's see...17 year old boy...spiders...so, what kind of hallucinogen was he on?

[Erb's point]

I broke my toe trying to kill a spider. I missed and kicked the door jam.

Don't worry, I've switched to a lighter and bug spray to kill those b@st@rds.

*snork@ CJ* Bad, CJ!

I hear the fire truck comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I won't seen the sunshine 'til I don't know when,
I'll be grounded or in prison, and time'll keep draggin' on
But that fire truck keeps a rollin' on down from San Antone..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
Never play with lighters, don't ever play with guns.
But I burned a spider in Reno just to watch it die
Now I hear that siren blowing, I hang my head and cry..

CJ, those widdle frogs are adorable!

I like the comment: This is what happens when you have a failed governemt that doesn't have enough money to educated people . . .

[Dr. Bob]

I think the governemt should raze texas to educated the people.

[Emmett Flatus]

But, it was a BIG spider, dammit.

[ScottMGS]

Siouxie, you mean the outfits, right? Have to be brave. BTW, I like the bling teeth on that spider.

[Siouxie]

Damn bot.

LOL yes, Scott.

[Meanie the Blue]

All he really needed was a SWAT team.

[CJrun]

And yet, this guy is dumber. That must be the guy Sio mentioned yesterday.

[Siouxie]

*snork* CJ

LOL I saw that and sent it in. I couldn't stop laughing though. The guy is OK, btw.

I was house-hunting in Florida a few years ago and opened the screen door to a house. A Wolf spider jumped on my chest. I screamed like a little girl. Then, I wrestled the thing to the ground and killed it. I know they are harmless (mostly), but it didn't matter at the time. My daughter wouldn't stop giggling for hours.

[Siouxie]

How was it again that you screamed, Hammie???

I'm sure it was a HUGE spider. And you were protecting your little girl.

*snicker*

[pogo]

Aww, Ham. I got a couple of pet Wolf spiders out guarding my tomatoes. They're good guys.

[Jacki]

Ahwwww...I miss my frogs and spiders :(
In another life I shared my swamp-front Floridian home with several Wolf spiders and tons of frogs.

Now all I've got are brown recluse, which are not at all nice, and hornets the size of my car.

[Cheryl Howard]

I have done this exact same thing. Set a house on fire while attempting to kill a spider. In Reno no less. Glad to see that I'm not alone.

In other "accidentally setting one's house on fire" news, a "fire safety warning":

Do NOT clean your lawnmower in your bedroom while smoking.

Key quote: Ms Goldworthy said although she had been convicted of arson before, this time it was an accident. "I swear, this time I did not do it".
