    Yeah, perhaps if we're talking small spiders, like those little jumpy guys but not huntsmen. I don't mind watching them go about their business outside. We've got a Golden Orb spider in the garden that comes out this time of year and he's fascinating to watch and very pretty too. But I can't cope with their unpredictability in the house.
    But if I wasn't actually sleeping at your house and just visiting I could probably watch tiny spiderlings do that and think it was cool too. :)

    I have a pet Harry Huntsmen in my room. He comes out for a look aroung once in a while. Big bugger. Apparently in Australia no matter where you are you are never further than 3 metres from a spider. Keeps the bugs and mozzies at bay.
    I can't go the library anymore, everyone STINKS!!

    but for sure - if you don't like winter - best to live somewhere else

    The Sunshine Coast is temperate not cold. Yea, that's part of Canada.

    It's the best place in the world. If you want temperate weather hang out around the ocean, if you want winter fun, head up into the rockies.

    Yeah, I was completely and irrationally arachnaphobic, but I've managed to control it somewhat as I've gotten older.
    I don't mind them being around, just don't want them in the house. Especially when I'm sleeping. Had far too many of the hairy fuckers try to hop into bed with me! :eek: Fuck that!! :D:o

    Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet eating her curds and whey.

    Along came a spider that crawled up inside her and...

    Wait. How does it go?

    Mary had a little lamb, she also had a duck
    She put them on the window sill to see if they would... fall off.

    I just don't really consider the wildlife dangerous. I mean I know it is, but I've grown up with the notion that if you leave it alone it'll pretty much leave you alone. Right? :)

    Yeah, except the big ones. Then its up to them to decide whether or not they'll leave you alone while you cower behind a rock like a sissy girl with your heart thumping in your chest shitting your pants and wonder if you're going to get eaten. Trust me on that one :)
    It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!

  • I'm probably one of the only people in the world who actually likes the Irish weather :D rarely too hot and rarely too cold. No extremes.

    Hmm. That sounds dreadfully boring. There's nothing like 40 C by nine in the morning on a summer day to make you appreciate what it felt like to be freezing your nuts off six months ago when it was -10 and you're in the bottom of a gorge somewhere miles from home.

    I love it :)

    This kind


    I shit you not. And no that's not my photo. The only proof I have is the testimony of the other two guys I was diving with, but its certainly an experience that will stay with me forever.

  • North Solitary Island, about 50 km NE of Coffs Harbour. It was a couple of years ago now. I doubt she's still there ;) They're amazing wanderers. They travel thousands of kilometres

    Its a bloody beautiful spot. Every time I dive at that site I seem to see something bloody huge.

    Man what are you talking about? North america is crawling with big hairy things with sharp teeth and claws that will EAT YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP!

    I had the worst night's sleep of my life camping in the mountains in California. It was summer, so I was just sleeping on the ground, without so much as a tent for protection. I would have been perfectly happy if hadn't stopped at the edge of the national park to read the signs about all the blood thristy bears and mountain lions that are lurking in the forest. They just want you you to let your guard down for a second and then BAM! You get a great big paw to side of the head, and the next thing you know you're getting anally violated by bear

    That's what I hear anyway.


    Edit: By the way I survived. No sign of bears or mountain lions all night long. I did have some very cute little kangaroo mouse things scurrying around my feet when I camped in Joshua Tree NP though.

    Bears are dumb though man. Black Bears don't care about people unless you scare them. Grizzly bears I never ran into camping in BC. Grizzlies are after food and such I don't think they care much about humans either but are more mean tempered. I'm not that big of bush person myself, but I've camped and hiked a number of times. Never ran into a cougar either. Lots of deer, but just when you want to pet 'em they run off. I've seen a few Mooses? never near me though. Nothing will actively attack you though, hunt you down and eat you.
