that's if she manages to throw it properly......if it was me - I'd be in such an unco-ordinated panick, I'd prolly throw it straight up in the air, only to have it land on my head......then I'd just die of a heart attack, so thankfully wouldn't feel it bight me :eek:
no - they'll only give it if you have a real need for it - elevated heart rate - shakes, dizziness, extreme pain. Note tho: different peoples idea of pain are a bit different .....
you can also have a reaction to the antivenene itself. and like i said i lied about my pain scale, i think i said it was a 4 when really it was probably an 8 out of 10. my heart rate didnt go up.
all in all, it wsnt that bad - and im damned spider phobic - i still dont check my shoes tho :rolleyes:
Ah ok. Well you're a gutsy one that's for sure. And a bit of dare devil by the sounds of that last bit. And people wonder why I live in thongs?

I would just throw the entire thing and run... no point messing around trying to make sure it gets out of the thing... I'd throw it all as far as I could, then run like the wind and never look back.

oh ffs chicka!!! you lifted that plastic tub high enough to put that umbrella extravaganza under there but you couldnt put paper under and let it go outside :eek:
lol - it'll probably survive the loo since you flushed it so hard and gave it a quick trip, come out the other side, and plot ...............
: o so what ya gonna do then? I suggest just leaving it there til it dies that's what I'd do anyway... even though I'd feel soooooo guilty afterwards I'm WAY too chicken to do anything that involves moving them
that's exactly what i would do and i've done it before! :eek: seriously, it was one of those brown recluse look-alikes.....or so i hope it was and not an actual brown recluse. but i wasn't gonna look to find out. anyway, two weeks later i sucked it up with my vacuum. i don't care what anyone says - any spider around me is gonna die. i fear them! i hate them! i know they do some good things....but it won't be happening around me.
No need to be void, or save up on life...
You got to spend it all
What kinda spider stories do you want? I've got heaps!!! :eek:
i've heard that you guys have 9 or 10 really poisonous spiders over there...? :eek: is that true? is there a certain area of Oz without so many of those critters?

Yeah, we have a lot of poisonous spiders and snakes but you mostly don't see them in the suburbs or big cities.
With the usual degree of uncertainty in identifying critters from internet photos, it is almost certainly, as people have said, a White Tailed Spider. The slender abdomen indicates it is most likely a male, although that is especially hard to tell.
Not nearly as nasty as people claim them to be. A myth circulated a while back about them having a necrotising bite, but that was a load of BS.
Ironically, if you don't like spiders, you should have kept it. They eat other spiders, and it would have been coming out at night in your house to hunt them.
Now you just have to watch out for for his disgruntled wife, who will undoubtedly seek revenge whilst you sleep...
