I'm sick, actually, and my throat is sore so I make myself some tea. I just want to sit down and drink the cuppa when particulate matter attempts to enter my mouth.

I spit back into the cup and look down: a spider.

That is YUCKY! That's Y-U-C-K-Y!

*shivers* Geesh. I almost drank a spider. Yuck.

Anybody else sick or eat bugs today?

cuppa? Alright English boy.

I walked through the woods last night (evening) and got tons of spiders and webs stuck on me. I hate the feeling of the webs on my skin. I try to keep an eye out so I won't destroy their webs and get them on myself at the same time, but it was getting dark and I kept smacking into them.

LOL!

I was awakened this morning by a mosquito biting me on the eyelid, the cheeky bastard. And to make matters worse, I tried to swat him and, well, you can imagine how that went. I didn't get him either.

Given the two, though, I think nearly drinking a spider is worse. Eew, eew, eeeeew!

Mosquitos are ouch. I can't imagine getting bitten on the eyelid, though.

Luckily, (especially since we had floods in the fall), we have had a dry summer, so there haven't been many mosquitos.

But with the cold, now, there's spiders.... eewww.

Eat a bug? No. But I did see a fly kamikaze into a cup of hot coffee once. Oh, and there was the monster spider in the hallway yesterday. Biggest damn wolf spider I ever saw, big enough that the cats were playing with it.

Shivers.

Scratches.

You've got my nerves spidering... pun intended.

I had the worst sore throat two weeks ago, Shawn....my doctor told me to gargle with a tablespoon of Benadryl and a tablespoon of Mylanta....I know...strange mix....mix it in your cuppa(I hope that means cup) gargle then swallow....it surprisingly numbs the pain and helps you sleep.

A moth committed suicide in my coffee the other morning. It sorta just...disintegrated. Luckily I noticed it just before taking a sip. I feel for you, Shawn. Ick.

I'm here.

I have several spiders in my house. I let them stay since they take care of the other random bugs that get in my not so tight screens. But now there is one that has made his home by my coffee pot. I had planned on taking him outside after my morning cup o joe but After discovering a gnat in my cup I have reluctantly decided to let him stay.

I took a swig from a can of pop and felt something in my mouth, spit it all out and discovered it was a yellow jacket. I had the shivers for a long time and to this day I am paranoid about drinking from open cans of pop outside. Luckily I didn't get stung, but the wasp left a bad taste in my mouth for some time.

My husband and I were wrestling one day on the couch. He was holding me down and I felt something on my cheek move to my ear. Of course I start to panic and try to get up, but he still thinks I'm fucking around so he won't let me up. I break free and run to the bathroom, convinced some sort of insect is in my head. He follows me and looks in my ear, can't see anything, he says. He goes back to the couch and spies some Pringles crumbs. It takes him about 5 minutes to convince me that in the midst of our fight some crumbs got tossed in the air, landed on my cheek and slid into my ear. It sounds reasonable so I start to leave the bathroom. I take one step out the door and I feel something wriggling in my head. I freak the hell out, run back to the bathroom sink and whack the backside of my ear repeatedly, hoping to jar whatever it is out of my head. A spider, about the size of a nickel, maybe a little larger, plops into the sink. I turned on the faucet and flushed that bastard down the drain, then curled up on the edge of the tub for about 10 minutes, rubbing my ears and staring at the floor.

I used to catch spiders and let them go outside, but now every time I see one, I politely ask my husband if he wouldn't mind killing that Pringle for me.
