Living creatures I've sucked up in my vacuum tend to survive and crawl out again.

I have a shop vac just for creatures such as yours :p :p

WG, That's why I dump the contents into a pile, dose it with gas and light it on fire! (lol jk I just flush them down the toilet

My softhearted son has a Mason jar that he uses to scoop up spiders, bugs, carpenter ants, etc, that are crawling around inside our house and carefully rehomes them outdoors. I kill them when he is not looking.

I'm fine with spiders in the house, as long as they confine themselves to areas I'm not using. Like... they can be in the attic. And in those way up corners of the living room I only bother to dust a couple times a year. They can be in the windows. They can live in the basement as long as they're not by the bar or the washing machine.

I don't go out of my way to kill them, but if they get too close, I consider that they committed suicide by Heather.

Spiders are WONderful! I can charge full price to go through a house with a web broom knocking down cobwebs, put out some monitor glueboards (which I do anyway), make people happy and show a nice profit. It almost offsets the price of gasoline.

Glueboards? :( :(

My kids will bring me spiders that are injured. Neither one of them has a fear of spiders, or any insects for that matter. It's actually very telling to watch my kids playing with the other kids in the neighborhood. At first the other kids were all terrified of bugs, especially spiders. Then they saw Syd and Jared picking them up, not showing any fear, and now the whole neighborhood of kids doesn't have any problem with bugs at all.

It really is a learned fear, especially if you live in an area were there are no truly poisonous spiders.

Be glad you don't have Brown Recluse or Black Widow spiders... the Brown Recluse has a rather unpleasant venom... as it kills tissue if its not treated soon.

I'd rather have a summer...

I can deal with the few poisonous spiders and the three poisonous snakes we have where I live. I really... REALLY hate being cold.

Though I admit... Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island in summer were rather pleasant places from a tourists perspective. And I do remember a rather high percentage a very hot females. Though there might have been a local law that banished the ugly ones to the Arctic circle or something.

I have summer. It starts getting warm around March (though it can still snow, but it only lasts a few days). Our summers are actually very warm. In fact, I'm really not happy that our air conditioner broke down. I was boiling today, and it was one of the coldest days we've had this summer.

It doesn't start cooling down until September, and even then it's still warm enough to go out without a coat. We usually get snow in November, sometimes sooner, sometimes later, but November is the average. The snow and cold last until around February, March. January is our coldest month typically.

You'll have to come visit sometime Smoothy, in the summer. You'd die in the winter. ;)

I have a friend that can get me into the Oil fields of North Dakota... I however can't deal with -20F much less the -75F they get. Even for the pay I'd get as an IT guy. And my wife can't deal with 1/2 of what I can.

I'm changing the subject.

I'm done with spiders and icky things.

You keep wanting a bathing suit picture... here it is!

How you doing? (picture this with an Italian accent, and a very deep voice). :)

You're one hot momma. Well, not so hot since you're cooling off in the pool lucky girl!

Well, it's been a while since anyone posted on here... Today I went to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in NYC so I thought I would throw a few pictures up here. I have most of them on my Facebook page but many of you aren't on my FB... so here we go:

A few more...

Ha ha! I had to do a double-take at first to figure out which was one was the living human and which was wax. The human seemed to be the one wearing the same clothes in each photo.

They let you get that close?

Why did you go to NYC on a Monday? No school?

I love them! We do have to talk though.

The staring at the boobs, and the Lady Gaga thing, mister, you're in big trouble! ;)

You can touch them except for their faces.

The One Direction display is leaving on Friday so we had to get there to see it before it was gone.
