  Poor thing!  You--not the spider!  I detest the little creatures, even the good ones.  Not many here in the northeast, they have told me, but I have seen a few.  Had a giant "wood spider" in my kitchen once.  I thought it was a mouse running across the floor when I first saw it.  Later, I found it just sitting inside my sink cabinet.  I sprayed it's little hairy ass to hell and back with Raid.  Didn't look so tough then!  But in a glass!  No, would freak out for days.

  ewwwww. i hate spiedrs too!!! good thing you killed it! and yup it owuld have been disgusting if you drink it!♦

• mom said on Mar 10, 2007....

  That woud give me the willies for the rest of its short life.  We get those giant house spiders here in the NW but nothing too scary.  My dogs play with them if they run across the floor.  So they take care of the spiders. :)  I think that would have been gross if you had gotten it in your mouth. 
   
  I don't hate spiders and will normally put them outside but I don't want one staring me in the eyes either.  How big is big, MIMI?  What kind was it?

• MissMimi said on Mar 10, 2007....

  It was huge mom. It winked at me and tried to get fresh. (You ever get groped by eight hands at once? It's disgusting.) All spiders are evil, and must be destroyed. I will probably have nightmares tonight and need intensive therapy for months.
  My daughter had a pet spider at her previous apartment who built a web outside her patio door. She named him Jorge. I think one of her cats ate him though.

• MissMimi said on Mar 10, 2007....

  Wombat, LOL at spraying its hairy little ass with Raid. Good for you! Spider lovers have told me how beneficial they are and that they eat other insects, I say good, they can do it elsewhere!
  Queenie, it was a close call. I would have absolutely gone berserk if it had gotten in my mouth.

• wombat said on Mar 10, 2007....

  Ha ha!  My hubby had a tarantuala for a pet at one time.  It got loose and his son of about 8 was on the toitie,  saw it climbing around the tub and started screaming--"Dad!  Your spider is in the toilet!"

• mom said on Mar 10, 2007....

  I have never gotten groped by 8 hands at once but I think I could live with that. ;) 
   
  My son had a pet tarantula and he let it down on the floor, it would walk slow and then it went into a dead run for me.  I jumped up on the chair, I looked like my legs were spring loaded.  I screamed like a girl, oh yeah I am one.  It was terrifying.

• MissMimi said on Mar 10, 2007....

  Holy shit, tarantulas?? That'd send me into heart failure. I can't even watch them on TV. And they say you have to treat them gently because their bodies are so fragile. Like hell. No thanks!
  wombie, if it had been in the potty, I woulda flushed it.

• mom said on Mar 10, 2007....

  Yeah it is true, if you drop them, their bodies will shatter.  I never held it, it bit my son though.

• silverwhisper said on Mar 10, 2007....

  how the hell did it get on your glass?!

  MissMimi, I have panic attacks when I see spiders.  I literally freeze and hyperventilate until my husband kills it! 
  
  I don't know what kind they were but, when I was little, my parents' home always had those huge brown hairy spiders (we called them tarantulas but I know they weren't).  I used to take my Aquanet hairspray to them until they froze!  Once, I tried to kill one with my dad's huge shoe but the shoe just bounced off its body and it kept crawling!   AHHHHH!

  You surely won't make it to round 2 on Fear Factor where the delicacies are disgusting and squirmers such as worms, spiders, cockroaches, even leeches. 

• lioneljay said on Mar 10, 2007....

  Was it named Boris?

• secretlife said on Mar 10, 2007....

  hey that was a burl ives song!
   

  I know an old lady who swallowed a bird
  How absurd to swallow a bird
  She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
  That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
  She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
  But I don't know why she swallowed the fly
  Perhaps she'll die

  lol my favorite verse is when she swallows the horse!

   

  i'm glad you didn't swallow that spider...ewwwwwwww

• lioneljay said on Mar 10, 2007....

  Who?

• MissMimi said on Mar 10, 2007....

  Faithful Disciple, I can't even watch that show. It gives me the heebeejeebees!
  
  
  nini, the hairspray trick... I've done that myself a time or two. Years ago, I saw one in the corner of the bathroom, and I quickly shut the door and blocked the space under the door with a towel until my husband got home to kill it.
  
  
  Ed, you know spiders. They can get anywhere. The glass was sitting on the table for a while.
  
  
  LJ, we didn't introduce ourselves. ;) How I managed to keep from throwing the glass, I have no idea.
  
  
  Secret, yes, that's the song. I had forgotten his version.
  
  
  LJ, who what?

• skald said on Mar 10, 2007....

  OOff awesome.
   I know that old song. I used to have a 78 rpm record with it. She also swallowed a. horse. 

• Zayda said on Mar 10, 2007....

  I would have dropped the glass on the spot and it would have shattered sending glass everywhere along with the spider.

  I know an old lady who swallowed a cat                                                                        

  Fancy that she swallowed a cat

  She swallowed the cat to catch the bird, she swallowed the bird to catch the spider,

  that wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.      

  She swallowed the spider to catch the fly

  I don't know why she swallowed a fly

  perhaps she'll die.

  Mimi, "Boris the Spider" was a song done by The Who. I was tweaking SL for having mentioned a song by Burl Ives.

• petitepapillon said on Mar 11, 2007....

  So, I was going to say something about spiders and what not, but thinking about it now, I think I'd better keep it to myself.  ; )

  Spiders creep me out, too. If they dare venture into my room, splat! Anywhere else, however, I leave them alone.

• MissMimi said on Mar 12, 2007....

  Petite, as long as they stay outside, I leave them alone too. But inside? I'm with you-- splat!
