Wow! I really appreciate your saying that, Troosha.
I don't often
feel 21, either.

You're quite something
You have a vibrant wit and a remarkable ability for twisting and crafting words into a tale. I keep forgetting you're 21 - what a talent you have!

That was a cute comparison. They have much more energy that the senior spiders. Lol.

Madamoiselle I glad you didn't compare old people to flies. Rumor has
it they only live 24 to 48 hours. I enjoyed this post.
It's nice to meet people here with a healthy sense of humor.

Skeeter and DP (the frat aliens) are characters on ATHF ...
The best show on TV (imo), and the source of many of my greatest quotes.

hurts like "eight bitches on a bitch boat" LOL, Mademoiselle,
What movie is that from? Who is Skeeter the frat alien? I'm sure that you're right about not wanting to get bitten by a tarantula.
I think Nietzsche was so wrong when he wrote, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger". No, sometimes what doesn't kill you, just hurts and causes permanent injury.

You still definitely wouldn't want to be bitten by one, Blanche ...
Hurts like "eight bitches on a bitch boat" (as Skeeter the frat alien would say).

Mine did the cossack dance into his 70s, Mademoiselle,
I meant, my grandfather. I don't keep tarantulas. Although, I hear they're harmless.

This one's not so much intended to be taken literally, Ann ...
I was on my deathbed, plus heavily medicated, and thus may have been suffering hallucinations.

Oh, no, Passion ... Charlie is the thing I coughed up last week.
That's who Curator was asking about. I don't sleep with my pets (all of whom are female, btw).

I think it's dangerous to sleep with a tarantula...
You could roll over and squish him.

That's a pretty good one, Cesium.
After reading this one a few minutes ago, my mother suggested reducing the dosage of my medication.

No, Curator ... I haven't.
Actually, he's become a full-fledged member of my family now. Charlie even sleeps in my bed with me ... he's got his own little pillow and everything.

Giant spiders? I'm still grappling with the part about where you're going to die ...? Did you ever figure out what the thing was that you hacked up? I'm all curious.
