So is that 8 spiders... ever?
I had heard before that it was 6-7 per year. Which means that I've chowed down on about 200 of them thus far.
Not counting the ones I've dipped in butter or chocolate or just plain, and eaten wide the heck awake.
If it's only 8 in a lifetime, that number is significantly smaller.

Hey otter... we never did give Pixie a house-warming... instead of flocking her with pink flamingoes.... I say we plant a bunch of cabbage heads in her front yard while she is sleeping...
and take BL to check out the homeless ghost in her woods behind her house.

NOPE! Matter of fact I saw him the other morning when I took Mily out. It was like 6:30 in the morning. He was going down into the woods. B was home and I woke him up to tell him. He's been down in the woods and can't tell if anyone is sleeping there since there's so much mess from people that go down there. But he installed motion lights on the shed. We've come to the conclusion that he probably lives in the neighborhood and is sneaking down there to get high or something because yet again no fishing rods or anything with him.
