Post by: Kenrick on August 21, 2005, 12:07:11 PM I was working pre-production on the set of an independent film (http://imdb.com/title/tt0337899/) outside of Waco my senior year in college when I almost literally walked straight into one. He had his web nicely set up in the frame of a wooden fence. I saw it, peered in closer not really expecting it to be a black widow, then saw that it was and screamed like a girl and ran away. I fucking hate scary poisionous animals.

Title: Re: Happy New House Schild! Post by: Stormwaltz on August 21, 2005, 01:53:31 PM We had widows in California. They didn't bother us, so we didn't bother them. Mainly they confined themselves to the exterior storage areas (such as the water heater).
I'd never seen them before. I thought they were rather attractive, as spiders go - glossy-sleek and nearly speherical. Title: Re: Happy New House Schild! Post by: Strazos on August 21, 2005, 02:09:02 PM Yeah, the house I lived in in CA had an outdoor shed. We never touched the shed, cause it had Black Widows in it.
And don't feel bad Kenrick, I would scream like a girl too if I got that close to a poisonous animal. Title: Re: Happy New House Schild! Post by: Sairon on August 21, 2005, 02:51:38 PM Luckly where I live there's no animals/insects which are lethal. The most poisonous snake in Sweden is the adder, which is pretty damn harmless by international standards. We don't have any even remotely dangerous spiders. We do have some bears but they're almost extinct and only apear in the very northern regions of the country.

Quote THEN were they condescended that King Arthur and Sir Mordred should meet betwixt both their hosts, and everych of them should bring fourteen persons; and they came with this word unto Arthur. Then said he: I am glad that this is done: and so he went into the field. And when Arthur should depart, he warned all his host that an they see any sword drawn: Look ye come on fiercely, and slay that traitor, Sir Mordred, for I in no wise trust him. In like wise Sir Mordred warned his host that: An ye see any sword drawn, look that ye come on fiercely, and so slay all that ever before you standeth; for in no wise I will not trust for this treaty, for I know well my father will be avenged on me. And so they met as their appointment was, and so they were agreed and accorded thoroughly; and wine was fetched, and they drank. Right soon came an adder out of a little heath bush, and it stung a knight on the foot. And when the knight felt him stung, he looked down and saw the adder, and then he drew his sword to slay the adder, and thought of none other harm. And when the host on both parties saw that sword drawn, then they blew beams, trumpets, and horns, and shouted grimly. And so both hosts dressed them together. And King Arthur took his horse, and said: Alas this unhappy day! Harmless indeed. Name me another snake that got King Arthur killed. You can't. Title: Re: Happy New House Schild!

Not venomous, but any spider that you can hear hit the ground is enough to give me the willies.

Title: Re: Happy New House Schild! Post by: Ezdaar on August 21, 2005, 06:24:41 PM Huntsmen are creepy. I remember whenever it rained in Sydney they would come indoors to escape it. You would go out to the kettle in the morning and there would be a huge ass spider sitting right above it on the wall.
Of course the worst part is when you go back 5 minutes later and it's out of sight but still somewhere in the kitchen. Slightly on topic, whereabouts in Phoenix are you living schild? I'm told the worst thing around where I am in Tempe is a very very occasional black widow, which we had in California anyway. Title: Re: Happy New House Schild!

Chandler, AZ. - Off Germann (at the Alma School crossroad). Three things I've noticed about Chandler/Tempe: 1. Omfg, the women. Being from the ghettos of DC/Maryland, this is heaven. It MIGHT be better than the San Diego/Carlsbad area in CA. It IS better than Miami except during the Spring. 2. It's hot. 3. Cox cable is really fucking fast. Title: Re: Happy New House Schild! Post by: Madman on August 21, 2005, 11:44:38 PM Bah, you are all pansies.
Although the venom of the Black Widow is 15 times more powerful than the venom from a common Prairie Rattlesnake, they rarely inject enough to be lethal to an adult. The only people who really need to worry about a bite from a Black Widow are old people and young children. It is also a relatively passive spider and it will usually only bite as a reflex to getting touched and when its web is disturbed it will usually run instead of attack. However, just to make it harder for you to sleep, I quote this from a Black Widow site: Quote The bite itself is often not painful and may go unnoticed. But the poison injected by the the Black Widow bite can cause abdominal pain similar to appendicitis as well as pain to muscles or the soles of the feet. Other symptoms include alternating salivation and dry-mouth, paralysis of the diaphragm, profuse sweating and swollen eyelids. Title: Re: Happy New House Schild!

You've been bitten by a recluse? Holy shit, that's bad. Any necrosis?It was on the top of my foot. No necrosis, apparently I have a pretty good tolerance to the shit. Used lots of anti-swelling creams, but my foot swelled too big for flip flops for about 2 weeks and I couldn't do much without intense pain all the way up my left leg. I mean it would shoot STRAIGHT up the leg with every step. Lots of pus. Lots and lots. It was pretty disgusting. But given it's location, I was pretty damned lucky that was all that happened. Frankly, I'd take black widows any day of the week over a recluse. Edit: And yes, I'm completely arachnophobic. Even moreso after being bitten (I was 14 at the time...and at camp).

Title: Re: Happy New House Schild! Post by: Signe on August 22, 2005, 10:42:43 AM Spiders ARE good luck and killing them is VERY bad luck. For the most part, spiders are exactly the sort of creepy crawlie you WANT in your house and garden. (err... maybe not Brown Recluse or Black Widows, though) I had a lovely tarantula for a while when I was working in Taos Ski Valley.
I can't believe you poured bleach on them, either. I find that unbelievably cruel. Stepping on them would have been kinder... or were you scared they would poison your shoe? Title: Re: Happy New House Schild! Post by: WayAbvPar on August 22, 2005, 12:06:37 PM I don't mind small, slow spiders.

Mmmmm...casserole. I've been waiting for ti goet cool enough to start really using the oven again, but it keeps getting sunny and hot. Today it was all cold and overcast so I went to the store and got fixins for mushroom-beef-barley soup and biscuits, and by the time I got home it was already all sunny out.

Venison is also wonderful, and is an ungulate, not a ruminant (different type of herbivore), so there shouldn't be any bovine protein issues. If you make friends with your local fancy grocery store butcher, he should be able to order exotic meats for you.
