It really does look bad! Almost as bad as Algore's make-up...
You'd think with all the money he's got, he could afford something a leetle more authentic, if he realllly has to have a tan. As if it makes any difference to HIS looks...
Yeah.
Msdrby's mom got the spray-on treatment before a cruise recently. I didn't see the result, but I think she looked very good.
I heard Laura Ingrahm speculating sKerry had a 'chemical peel' treatment, then went into the sun too soon.
I can't decide if I want to watch the debate tomorrow. I want to see what kind of stoopid things might happen, but can't stand hearing lurch actually speak. I might have to watch it with the sound muted.
Probably it's because I read the "funny pages" as a kid, rather than superhero comics, so I like black-and-white line drawings, not flashy colors. (Also my manga addiction doesn't help). I was surprised when I read the "Sandman" graphic novels. Loved the story, hated the art, except for Dream and he was mostly depicted in black-and-white anyway.
I'm just gonna hang out on the live thread...
Me too! I don't have TV, and I'm not sure I can get video to work. Might connect if I can.
I'll most likely miss the beginning since I won't get back from class until seven thirty or so. Maybe I can make you ping me?
Maybe...if you threaten me hard enough! LOL Just kidding...I'll ping ya.
I do appreciate it!
(I have to go print that out, now.)
Okay...homeschool/gardener spider-type question...
Wife is concerned about a HUGH spider she saw on the deck this a.m. (We have lots of spiders around the outside of the house). I haven't seen it yet.
It is brown and she says it looks "fuzzy." It's got striped legs.
It's obviously not a black widow (I have seen them though). Could it be a Brown Recluse? Seems like they're more likely to be "under" something.
Big question is, can I just knock down the web (like we've been doing) or do I need to spray?
And, on a side note, is there a natural deterrent? I know that bats and purple martins are good for skeeters (I been looking at bat boxes). But what about spiders?
Oh and HA HA HA! We've all seen Shelob...HA HA HA... ;-)
If it's a banana spider, I don't think they are dangerous. Actually, they are pretty, if somewhat spooky looking.
Cool map, btw.
These are very large spiders, as far as spiders go.
I don't think brown recluse are really fuzzy. Or very big, really.

Maybe something like a wolf spider? Those can be scary looking, though pretty harmless.
That one is about life size on my 16 inch screen.

Everyone can feel free to spam until this beastie is off the screen!
Thanks. I left a message with the wife to see if she could get a picture. If she does, I'll post it tonite.
I'm doubting it's anything series. And even if it ~is~ a brown recluse, they only attack if they're threatened.
This is a perenniel problem. More than once I've headed out the back door with the dog and walked right through a HUGH web.
I don't mind 'em. Think they're kinda pretty. I just don't like walkin' through 'em.
What does the web look like?
I didn't see it and she's in a tutoring session, so I can't ask her. I think it was one of them big and flat ones. I'll know more later.
Brown Recluses are just that...very reclusive. You will find a Brown Recluse in your closet corner or up in a box in your attic or something, but not hangind out on a porch.
I'm willing to bet it some sort of garden spider...a beneficial. We like ours, however they poop huge black poops on the side of our cream-colored house...
