Confessions of an Arachnophobe
God, I hate spiders!
I know, I know - very few are dangerous and they probably do all kinds of good things like eating bad bugs and helping the environment and all that crxp. I don't care - I hate'em - they give me the creeps - 8 legs is unnatural - and some of them can really hurt you! Even the harmless ones have made me bleed many times when I "reacted" to their close presence and jumped too far too fast into something with sharp edges and corners! :-)Okay, I'll give you this - granddaddy long legs aren't too bad. I don't like them, but I usually let them live. Did you know that they are one of the most poisonous spiders on earth? It's just that the shape and size of their mouth prevents them from biting us!Alright - one more concession - Spider-Man is great! I love those movies that have brought the old comic book hero back to life.So, the next time you see a spider, think of me - - - - - and mash that sucker flat!
Have a great day!Mike
