Man, think about waking up to THAT.

I'd rather wake up to the marks on my legs (assuming they weren't brown recluse spiders that make your skin rot) and never have to see a million little creepy crawly things in my bed

the other night I woke up to a tick walking up my arm.

i think (hope

) it came from the jeans I was wearing while walking around the yard. I tossed them on the end of the bed and then went to bed.

as soon as I felt something move I knew it was a tic. It was everything I could do not to smack it across the room but I didn't want to lose it.

I wonder what it is about spiders that makes them almost universally feared.

Anyone know what kind it is? It was a lot bigger than it looks in these pictures

Initially I thought it was a brown recluse, but after looking at some pictures of brown recluses, I don't think it is..

What they call a "wolf spider" we call a grass spider here in oklahoma, a wolf spider here is roughly the size of a tarantula.

how did you determine it was a spider bite?

motivez · 06-14-2008, 02:26 AM

I definitely think it was a fishing spider.. I saw another one today much smaller (maybe 2 inches) that was hanging around outside on the wall of my patio.. probably plotting revenge for killing its family.

I was taking out the outside garbage at a fast food restaurant I worked at back in high school and A spiders nest exploded all over me. Hundreds of tiny white spiders crawled all over my arms and onto the front of and into the sleeves of my uniform. Some dropping to the ground, some dropping to the front of my pants, but the ones crawling up my arms into my sleeves freaked me right out.
My manager was all irritable with me because I took so long to empty the trash. When I explained why she was still irritable but she let me go to the bathroom to shake out my clothes and didn't mention it for the rest of the night.

That would SUCK! Ugh, I can't even stand to think about it.

I think that spiders are extremely interesting and innovative. They are engineers and hunters. They are shy and bold. Just my .02.

I suggest casting something to inflict 10 damange points upon its person. Though it costs you 5 mana points it would be well worth it as you will save a whole clan of newb night elves.
