Hey there FRiend ...
Got a spider thing there do ya?
You’ll appreciate this true story from my childhood:
My Dad put some concrete cinder blocks into the rolling terraces of our back yard so my Mom could grow her flowers and vegetables (something she loved to do), and one day she noticed this odd little spider running into one of the open cinder block holes, she shined a flashlight into it and saw a LOT of spiders, soooo,
She got a great big bell mason jar and a yard stick, poked the stick into the cinder block hole, the spiders would run up the stick, she would put the stick into the jar, shake them off, then proceed to the next spider dwelling, by the time she finished, she had collected over 3 dozen of the little bastards, and with the lid tightly affixed, looked them up in our World Book Encyclopedia and discovered they were ALL black widow spiders.
My Dad came home from work and just about had a heart attack. Next day he was up there filling those cinder block holes in with quick setting cement-concrete.
As for the spiders? After about a half gallon of denatured alcohol, they were off to their eternal reward, lol
I hate spiders too. When I see ‘em, I SMASH ‘em.
...fainted...back up.
yeah, that would pretty much be it for this man’s fat heart.
i’m pretty sure all the spiders in NYC are harmless because of the climate but i’m still terrified.
if there were dangerous ones, i’d walk around in a bio-hazard suit.
