There's a spider on the ceiling in my spare room.

Seal off the room and never go in there again.

Sweep him off with a bloom and then stomp the crap out of him.

This reminds me of the scene from Annie Hall when Woody Allen has to go kill the spider in the bathroom.

He comes back out. "It's as big as a Buick!"

Peaches, you know they can climb back out of the vacuum right? Where do you store it? It could have babies in there.

Oh no it's going to be like "Arachnophobia" at the Peaches residence. Beware!

Dixi cup and piece of cardboard

Place dixi cup over spider. Gently slide cardboard underneith. Cary captive to outdoor freedom.

Be content in knowing that you didn't kill something indiscriminately.

Move.

Or all your stuff will be covered in spidey-poo.

There's been a spider dangling over my fruit bowl all day. It's alive cos I poked it. WTF. That's just spider stupidity. I know this is no help to SP but what the hell, sometimes I'm egocentric.

I second what Siddow said. There's no telling what that spider's touched or where that spider is. Better to just move and start over. You know your WIP by heart right? Probably got on your computer too.

If you kill the spider you will be banned for life.

Take advantage of the situation. Be creative. Paint around it. What about a nice spider camouflage paint? Then if more spiders come in - you don't have to worry about it. You won't see them.

It's probably in one of the tiny orifices on your laptop by now. You will never be without it.

Any suggestions as to how I should handle this situation?

A glass and a sheet of paper slid underneath the spider and glass; or, hairspray! Depending on how big it is. Get rid of it before you go to bed.

Good Luck!

Don't worry, if it bites you, you can be Spidergirl and fly all over on your sticky web.

The Lady is probably right. Spiders are diabolically clever and it's probably camped out in your laptop. Everything has got to burn if you will truly be rid of it. If it's not in the laptop it's probably in your clothes. Better strip and burn it all.

(I've got to get my camera and camp outside Peaches' house so I can get a picture to sell on the Bargains' Board)

Wait until you go to bed. The spider will feel safer and lower itself down a thread, right above your face. When you can feel it's hot breath on your cheek, bite it's legs off.

That will teach it.

Rt, when will the madness end? First you bite the heads off of chickens and now you bite the legs off spiders. Is nothing sacred?

Don't worry, I got bit by a poisonous spider one time and I'm I'm I'm I'm al-al-al-al-right. It on-on-only hurts when it rains.

I have no idea what a dixi cup is.

The only good spider is a dead spider.

I imagine, if they could make their thoughts known to us, everything in nature would say the same about humans.

Fear is a poor substitute for intellect.

Frankly, I'd rather have the spider in my house than most people. At least I can reason how the spider will act.
