If you go down to the woods today You're sure of a big surprise. If you go down to the woods today You'd better go in disguise.

And be very quiet!

Who cares? This post is the equivalent to junk mail. Just pollution.

I got a jumping spider in my ear once. Finally got it out using peroxide. All I could think about was that television program about earwigs. Was it Twilight Zone?

I got bitten by a camel spider in Saudi Arabia. The bugger had somehow gotten into our house and hid in the closet. When I opened the closet door, where our outdoor shoes were, it JUMPED some seven feet from the closet to MY middle finger of my left hand...and bit me.
Within seconds the finger was turning purple and the purple was moving up my arm.

I jumped into my car and drove to the clinic. Yes, we AMERICAN WOMEN were allowed to drive ON-CAMP only. It was a fairly small ARAMCO camp but that was okay. It beat the heck out of trying to take by BICYCLE to the clinic.

My husband was up at Juaymah for the week but I did call him. I said that I was DYING! He drove through a SAND STORM at night to come home. I was still at the clinic when he arrived.
I wasn't dying, especially after a couple of shots of Benadryl, but it was SO nice to see him.

Camel spider bites CAN kill children and the elderly.
Those buggers go down a sand dune by spreading all eight of their legs, stiffening them and ROLLING down the hill. Saw that on "Nature" one time. Amazing.

I don't care if the spider can hear me.

It's when I can hear the spider walking that I'm going to freak. This is a Goliath Spider, otherwise known as the "Costa Rica chicken-eating spider."

Jumping spiders are harmless, helpful and cute. And incredible athletes.

And you don’t think in some dark ops lab there are not scientists figuring out how to take spider DNA and mix it with human DNA to get us better hearing.

I for one would applaud such a step. My 94 year old mother in law sits about ten feet from her TV and she has it turned up loud enough to feel it two doors down.
