mistymasseyI completely forgot to mention...
I like spiders. Not to play with, of course, but for some reason I feel a great respect for spiders, and I won't kill one unless there is no other option available. So far that situation hasn't presented itself. When I was a teacher, the school had a problem with wolf spiders coming in and making homes in the bathrooms. The others teachers were terrified of them, so they would always call me to catch them and put them outside. I perfected a cup-and-paper method that works very well. When I take the offending arachnid outside, I always give it a brief talk about who gets to live in the house and who must stay outside in the bushes, and then I let it go.
Today the office ladies were having a fit...a medium-sized spider had wandered into the office, and was between them and the door. They were trying to decide who should kill it when I showed up. I did my thing, and when I returned, they were looking at me as if I had suddenly turned green. Apparently they'd heard me talking to the spider, and now were wondering if I had lost my mind.
Silly ladies.
