What is so terrifying about spiders. It isn't as though they are going to eat you is it.

You forgot the question mark Lucy English teacher :) x

Scared of spiders and no-way would I pick one up - I put a glass over them (got to be a glass so I can see where it is! lol) and then slide a piece of card under it and put them outside.

I keep a bespoke glass and piece of card together in my living room where I can get at them quickly. I call it my PSCK (Patent Spider Catching Kit). lol

Ummm as always, miss thomas you the theory!every one is different when it comes to phobias!!!!

I couldn't pick one up with my bare hands (except perhaps the really big hairy tarantulas), but I'd be quite relaxed about catching it in a glass and putting it out of the window.

I used to be terrified of spiders. Wouldn't even go in the room if I knew one was there. However, I made an effort to learn a little bit about them, to understand them a little more, and now they don't worry me half as much.

I know now that they're mostly harmless and that even the big tropical ones would think twice about tackling something as large as a human being. They really are more terrified of us than we are of them. When you see them scuttling across the floor, they're only trying to get out of your way because they don't want to get hurt. Only thing is, they don't have the benefit of your human's-eye view of the room.

You gotta feel sorry for them!

No!

My dads the same as your housemate, I wish I was like that. You don't rent himout for spider related emergencies do you?

[Lucy Thomas]

Thumbalina. It doesn't require a question mark. It is a rhetorical statement not a question. If you are trying to be a smart arse then at least get it right.

If the spider was in Lucy's house it would be trying desperately to escape!

[firetracie]

Sir Raven I commend your other half - or your powers of persuasion! In that scenario I'd have slept in the car. Couldn't trust that they were all gone.

[Lucy Thomas]

Cazzz, that sounds like the retort of a four year old unable to think of something witty.

[cazzz1975]

takes one to know one....

[Lucy Thomas]

Well if your going to try to look clever then at least give us something that might raise a smile.

[cazzz1975]

no your the joke lucy, Im the 4 year old onlooker


you have the power!

[Lucy Thomas]

If I see a spider in the house I calmly pick it up and put it outside. No leg-pulling here. Except with the eight-legged Cazzz of course.

eat the legs eat the legs eat the legs eat the legs eat the legs
