Something tells me I don't want to. But I feel obliged to find out. To Google!

ETA: LITERALLY THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES.

Try to kill a mommy wolf spider. You now have a pissed off momma and hundreds of babies scattered about.

I just played Lee Greenwoods God Bless The USA for my husband. He took pictures of me when I was singing. He now has some pretty good blackmail material.

Is there a phobia thread? Because really this ought to go there.

WHAT EVEN IS THIS?!?!?!

My cat keeps killing these. I have no idea where they are coming from but I am SO glad she's happy to pounce on them. We have a collection in our shed too but I don't mind them there, outside is fine.

I'm not sure I've seen a house spider this big before.  It came lurching out of our outdoor furniture cover like a freakin' headcrab or something.

A few weeks ago, I was watching TV on the couch when the cats took a sudden interest in something.  Out of the corner of my eye, I caught this brown thing scuttling across the floor and thought it was a mouse.  NOPE.  Spider.  But, like, my cats don't even do anything about them!  Swiper (the "special" cat) just galloped after it into the kitchen while I screamed bloody murder for Dave to come down and dispatch it.  Dave turned up with the vacuum cleaner, and Swiper's petrifying fear of the Dark Lord Vacu'um swiftly took over.

Ugh.  I HATE SPIDERS.

Spiders eat other bugs, right?

Generally, yes.  I had a spider ("Spidey".. *wistful sigh*) in my bathroom for a while.  He (she?) has moved on, but I greeted him/her every time I went in the bathroom, and if he/she had fed, I thanked her.  I miss Spidey.

I was really happy last week when a smaller version of the same kind of spider took up Spidey's old residence,  but Baby Spidey didn't stick around for too long.  Now I am bereft of Spideys.

Yep. I just don't want them in bed/in clothes, which is when you run the risk of defensive bites. If they are in the corners of a room they can stay. The gigantic ones do not stay in the corners though. Too busy looking for Ms Spidey.

We've got two in our bathroom, two different windows. If they stay there, which they have, I'm fine. The horrid giant ones which I find above or in the tub must be removed. *Shudder* and the giant one that creepily crawled out a cupboard. That one was the size of a 50 cent piece. I freaked.

My IA atm... I love music from pretty small independent labels that can be heavy on samples. I tend to expect that with the many tools available for cleaning up vocals and vinyl rips without degrading the quality there won't be pops and crackles in digital music. They just released a CD, and in the clip online there are pops and cracks in a remix. I don't know if I should say something, or just hope they would've heard them and for some odd reason decided they should stay for character? *sigh* I probably won't say anything, it's their label, but the track would sound much better without them! (it's not character adding when it's a pad/lead with crackles)

That's odd Margo. Maybe they're going for a certain retro sound?

I think they were just lazy! But I like everything else on the CD, I can fix that later on my own.

Ha. We competed in the National Brass Band Championships this past week.
Brass Band sections go: Championship, First Section, Second Section, Third Section, Fourth Section.  We were a brand new band, so we have to start at the bottom, Fourth Section.  We won the Scottish Championships, so represented Scotland.  And we came dead last!!!
This means we are the worst of the top bands!  LOL! 
We are only five years old, so we can't be too hard on ourselves, but we did not play to the best of our ability.
You get a draw on the day for the order you play in. And we got drawn to play 16th out 17 bands. Which means we played at 8:30 at night (after getting there for the draw at 1pm).  So we had a ton of waiting and waiting and waiting and we were just worn out by the time we took the stage. And then there were nerves galore. And we just got off track and that was that.

Oh well, because we won the Scottish and had enough points from the last few years, we get to actually move up to the third section.  So there's that.
