Guest Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Spiders have feelings too... Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Blue Sky Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I don't mind spiders as long as they don't bogue out at me and make me jump. But they will scuttle about in a sudden way... I'd rather help them out of the house than have them on my conscience any day. I don't like those big old flies, me. But what's better than a man - well, I don't know where else you would get such a reliable holder for the remote control they don't let go do they I think CHOCOLATE and STRONG DRINK are both better.

Mrs Frugal Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I loved Charlotte's Web but I can't stand spiders and am just the same as Sheila - I can't touch anything that I know has been in contact with a spider for a long time afterwards! I certainly couldn't use a piece of toilet paper as a ladder for them in case, as Lesley says, they ran up my arm - *shudder*!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'm late on this one, but I've just been catching up with all the postings. Thanks Phil for your lovely posting Spiders are OK, I can't say I particularly like them, and would prefer that they didn't venture into the house- I feel so mean when I destroy their cobwebs, but then again cobwebs on the ceiling is just not a good look- although I have to admit to it in the porch sometimes Personally I prefer not to intervene in the removal of spiders, the thought of those legs scuttling up my arms as they try to effect an escape , but will do using the card and glass method if pushed. Generally I leave it to son and hubby, but we don't kill them, just relocate them into the garden and away from their nice warm cobwebby home Away from my original tongue in cheek "what's better than a man" response I'd better say that hubby's a good one too really, useless at DIY though, untidy as anything, but thoughtful and great at helping children with their maths homework He bought me a suprise pressie at weekend, so I probably shouldn't complain, but when he said he'd bought me something I thought back to Chookiehens lovely ring from Chookiehubbie that she posted about a while back and got all excited My spirits fell slightly as he led me to the garage I am now the proud owner of a brand new cement mixer Serves me right for moaning about how much time and effort it is knocking up muck (I was moaning as a hint that he might like to help me out by doing it for me). But I do love my man, and won't trade him in for strappy sandals...... yet anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW! what a fantastic present! and they say romance is dead! My wife always says that the best present I ever bought her was a laminator... either that or the paper guillatine... she once bought me a loo-roll holder for the outside toilet..

chocchick Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Phil - it's catching them that is the problem in the first place - otherwise we'd be able to throw them out in the garden Surely the big ones would eat the little ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 A loo roll holder for the outside toilet? thats living, revnev! when I were a girl we used to thae the loo roll out with us - it was too damp out there to leave it out! Whats better than a man? 2 nights away at Cedar Falls, the local spa. Gorgeous place. Never stayed overnight but WOULD LOVE TO if you're snooping, hubbie. Not that its really better 'n you, what would be? (she says with tongue firmly in cheek) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 you're scaring me now I am not keen on spiders but really dont want to kill them (hence having to be married to Paul so that he can pick them up and pop them outside ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiglet Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 OK, I know i'm a "newbie" but I'm now definately convinced you're all bonkers - I mean, how can you NOT like spiders? Ok Ok, bit of jesting there but isn't it weird to end up talking about spiders when you started about men. Mine is lovely by the way (man, not spider) but it took a long time & 1 aborted attenmpt to find him.However, I do like spiders because they are very clean and I don't like the thought of you all hoovering them up - just imagine if you could see their little faces as they go round & round. Enough now I've made you all feel guilty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 OK, I know i'm a "newbie" but I'm now definately convinced you're all bonkers - Bonkers?!?!?! Bonkers?!?!?!? What ON EARTH led you to that idea Twiglet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiglet Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Ah but I didn't say I was normal either - just the bonkers comment. If you only knew me better..................Let's face it, I've just had chickens for Valentine's day and gor so excited about it I didn't sleep for days and NOW I'm talking to a lot of other chicken mommies whom I've never met!

chocchick Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 John bought me a £100 watch and a £6 chicken, and I liked the chicken better (even though I love the watch) You're lucky to have found a man who will give you chickens on valentine's day Surely spiders don't have sad faces, just shedloads of horrible little eyes and wiggley little legs. I respect them most of the time, until you're not expecting them and they suddenly start moving Louise you disturb me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
