I thought that I had dripped some water onto my leg, so, with my hands still in the dishwater, I rubbed my other knee over the tickly spot to wipe up the drip. I felt something crunch between my knees. I looked down just in time to see a crushed scorpion fall to the floor! I can't believe I didn't get stung.

(they have hairy little legs that stick to EVERYTHING) in a flash, i had my dress pulled up to my waist scrambling to unhook my garter (remember THEM?) screaming all the while. i'm sure the neighbors are still scandalized over that one! then there was the time when after being out mowing the pasture one afternoon i found a tick firmly attached to my boob. after i threw up, and quit shaking, i painted it with green nail polish (isn't that supposed to make them let go?) and ended up having to ask poor danny to remove it when he got home from work (i threw up again) and he's never let me live down the emerald green tick next to my nipple! blechhhhhhhhhhhh!

How did he get that far up without you feeling it?? I lived in a cool loft once. Its only drawback were black widow spiders every now and then. I found one once, webbed in the corner of a room about knee high. We had experience with them running if you knocked them down, so he ran and got the fattest book he could find, put it in the corner of the room above the spider and dropped it so it would fall on the web, take her down and squash her. Which it did. Then we laughed and laughed because the big fat book had a big fat title: For Whom The Bell Tolls. It tolls for THEE big ugly poison spider! It tolls for THEE!! Oh my GOD!

Almost fell off my chair. I've never heard of wolf spiders, but I think you did the absolute best thing, and probably entertained a few random drivers. One of my daughters HATES spiders, I'm sending her this link. You had me rolling with this one. Almost fell off my chair.

Oh, that made me shudder. A few weeks ago, I was waiting for the bus and the wind was blowing tendrils of my hair against my neck, and it was ITchy, so I finally reached up to scratch it only to find that it wasn't tendrils of hair, but a BEE that had gotten caught in the collar of my jacket, which I had flipped up. ACK! Everyone at the bus stop got to watch me freak out and try to free this bee without getting stung. Ugh!!! Oh, that made me shudder.
