Did you know you are never more than 6 feet from a spider?

Tonight there was one on the kitchen counter, I moved my hand and the spider moved, you know what that means.
Yep.
My hand was caught up in her web.

I pulled too hard trying to break the connection and she flew off the counter towards me and immediately disappeared - I really thought I was a big girl, but if you could have seen the look on my husband's face as I ran from the room screeching like a girl - he said, I thought it was serious!
I said it is! and I hate you! Stop laughing!!!!

You have got to watch the commercial where the spider throws the guy around the room...but the blessing of the slugs is that they can't move anywhere as fast as centipedes...now I have to get brave enough to just flush the nasty buggers

For you a vacuum cleaner. Very satisfying sucking up the spiders, just keep the hose aimed up...that's where they run

They say that if you are scared of spiders...there is usually one within ten feet of you in your bedroom.

Taking that in mind...I am absolutely terrified of Johnny Depp...lol!

Just reading the headlines and even scarier than spiders and bad hats...the flooding and all in Mexico...doesn't Big and a bunch of other people here live in Mexico? I wonder how everyone is doing. Is the worst of it just at the coastline or inland too?

Colorado has just started cleaning up. Then there's the Jersey shore. They've been working on Seaside Heights but there was a fire that wrecked thirty of the newly rebuilt businesses. Jersey Strong is the motto now, but that fire must have been devastating :(

Oh, I think I get this.
Can I be afraid of Johnny Depp too?

Yes, these disasters are frightening, and with the economy already in bad shape, what are people going to do?
I saw one photo from Colorado, it looked like a trailer park but only the tops of the trailers were out of the water.

So many have lost everything, and where are you supposed to turn?

You know what, I have a very strange...history with the numbers 139. This may sound coincidental but bear with me: As long as I can remember, I seem to have that number burnt into my daily life and as I get older the pattern just repeats itself. My first memory of it was waking from a nightmare as a kid and looking at the clock: 1:39am. Another time was when my brother was knocked down (not killed thank God) and I wanted to know what time it was so I could ring my Dad at work (1:39pm), These numbers have repeated themselves over and over again: I happen to look at my watch and its 1:39, I count how many samples im running in work-139. A book im reading is bookmarked on page 139, my machine at work breaks down at 13:39pm, in a shop I constantly get change back of 1.39, its weird.

This probably means nothing to anyone except me but I wanted to share it anyway, Call it an oddity of life, an omen whatever but theres definitely something about those numbers 1 3 and 9 that have popped up at key moments in my life. Plus they add up to 13, eek.
