"I tried to kill a spider with hairspray. It's still alive but its hair looks fabulous."Funny, eh? I thought it was funny. I haven't killed a spider in years. I can't. I can't kill insects. I used to be able to, when I was younger and less thoughtful maybe but now... Well, now you should see me rescue moths out of the bathroom in the summer when

Okay, so the legend on the icon is not so appropriate to this comment. The animal life is.

I have no fear of bugs of any kind, although I'm not really fond of the way praying mantises hold on to you with their little pinchy claws. I live, however, in an entire household of "Ackkkk!!! Ackkkk!!! Getitofme-getitoffme-getitoffme!!!!" arachnophobes. Actually most of the denizens of my household won't actually get close enough to one to let it touch them. My 16 year old won't let a single form of animal life be killed, however, so I am often called into the room to remove the offending insect, and take it outside

Heehee, I can't touch them but I have a variety of containers and papers to get small crawlies outside. And I always make sure they keep all their legs and don't get them stuck anywhere. :)

It's cool that your spiders were so comfortable they stuck around. I don't have any on my balcony anymore because I started feeding the blue tits around here last winter, and they saw my balcony as some kind of insect snack bar along with the food I fed them. Eat and get eaten, I guess...

I don't have a spider icon, but I have the candy icon. The candy icon is made of win! :)
