[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2889330, member: 109862"] N that is absolute nightmare fuel for me. Jeepers. My skin is crawling just thinking about that many large spiders, that the ground looked like it was moving. NOPE!!!!!!! Thankful to live in a place where it gets cold enough for half the year that those types of creepy crawlers can’t survive here. I don’t care if they’re basically harmless, I’m with your wife on this one!!! 🤣. There was a large spider on my deck the other day…by large I mean probably an honest 2’inch leg span, that’s about it as big as they get here. My wife was very mad at me for “almost setting the house on fire” when I was so terrified of that thing that I couldn’t touch it or touch something that was touching it…so I took an aerosol can and a lighter and flamethrowered the terrifying arachnid. Totally irrational and I understand that it posed absolutely no danger but the irrational part of my brain doesn’t care and can not be persuaded.

Ugh my skin is actually crawling now. [/QUOTE]
