Say hello to my little friend

[Ninurta]

I used to be afraid of all spiders but I’m ok with most of them now as long as they aren’t close to me or in my house. I even put them outside now, unless I panic like I did the other day when I had one on my jacket. That one had me so nervous that later on when I was putting up my Halloween decorations I had a little anxiety when I was straightening out the legs on my furry creepy spider I hang by the door.

A couple of years ago I found what I thought was a dried up tarantula in our wood working building. Of course me being me and always poking things with a stick that was the first thing I did. It came alive! It was a wolf spider and thank God it didn’t have babies on it. I just let it have the place and didn’t go back until it was gone.

The only thing that never gets any mercy is a scorpion. I’ve been stung too many times. The other night my brother was over and I went to the kitchen. Well one was scurrying across my floor. I yelled for him because I didn’t have shoes on. He came in there and we took turns yelling and it got away. After awhile I see my cats attacking something in the dining room. I check it out, wearing shoes this time and it is a scorpion. I’m still hoping it was the same one I had seen earlier.

I have a UV flashlight to locate scorpions with. They fluoresce pretty brightly under UV light, and are east to pick out and eradicate.

Cleaning fluid does a number on spiders.I used to house 'em down with Mean Green and watch them gasp out their last breath.Who needs expensive bug spray? Spiders are not human, at least not like you or I. I'm not going to ask them politely to leave - I'm gonna violate the hell out of their civil rights until they die.
