I am tempted to add "nachoes" to the tag list...

But I don't really think that's what they are designed for.

:ROFL:
Excellent. So you'd choose a tag to mess with the system (and get in trouble with the mods) and it's one that leads directly back to me. :rolleyes: I see how it is.

:wag:





ETA: :idea: *considers adding "sheep" to the tags*

:e2bummed: I'm not very good at it.

I believe Boston did, yes. :D Looks like Mac is pushing more buttons because reps are in that way...the way they were that one time...where you're taken to a separate screen. At least they are for me. :Shrug: And also I'm having a hard time achieving line breaks.

Yes, and I'm about to have a food break as well. :D

*leaves to go hunt down a cow*

Not much of a hunt, btw, but it sounds better than "going to slaughter a cow"

Hey Hounds. I just got back from Rib Fest. The food was amazing and the music was pretty good (for a country cover band, anyway). :D

Not a bad Friday night, although I'll be burping up fried cheese curds for a week!

Yikes! Black widdows are very bad. Good luck!!!!

Brown Recluse is what I have to deal with. I got bit last year but it was worse than a normal spider bite but not as bad as it could have been though. I didn't know what it was until I killed it a few days later. Also get jumping spiders, very aggressive but not toxic. The bad thing about the Recluse is there are so many brown spiders, hard to spot. Why can't they
be pink or purple.

This is why I can never live anywhere but Alaska, for now. We don't really have spiders like that, here. Ours aren't going to kill us. When they bite, it's not bad.

I can't imagine living somewhere where the things that can kill you aren't massive and easy to spot a mile away.

Squished? Burned? Do we not get details?

Classy, babe. Real classy. :D

There are people everywhere on the planet, as well as bacteria - the large and small killers are everywhere.

Wait. Uh... That was meant to be reassuring.

*reads comment back*

*shrugs*

HAPPY WEEKEND. :D

I wasn't aware Alaska even HAD spiders. You guys snow, what, 13 months out of the year up there?

... nowhere is safe, guys. We're obviously surrounded.

When I lived in Southern California, there were black widows everywhere. There was one that had a web in the corner of our garage, and whenever we played ping pong and the ball got away from us and into the spider's corner, it would pounce on the ball.

I was too afraid to ever go near that corner of the garage.

I was bitten around a dozen times down the outside of my left leg many years ago by something I can only assume was a Brown Recluse in California. The bite areas puckered, became blistered, then cratered. I carried the scars from those bites for over 2 years. Damn thing must have been inside my pants leg and dislodged and nailed me on its way down and out. I never felt a thing initially, but a friend of mine said at one point I went white as a sheet. I do remember feeling nauseous.

As I recall, Brown Recluse venom is neurotoxic, like the Sydney Funnel Web spider's, and Black Widow venom is cytotoxic.

As late as 2008 not much was known about the chemical composition of spider venom (nor caterpillar venom either - and there are 4 species of venomous caterpillar extant in the USA), but a lot more research was being done. I've got a paper on spider venom somewhere in a box at home as part of my research for my novel "Hatchings".

Oh yes, they have antlers and eat small children, too. Alaskan spiders aren't to be messed with.
They hide on branches and jump down on your head, hiding in your hair. They attack in the shower or in bed. Even the bed bugs are afraid
