I just killed a centipede as big as my toaster. I'm sooo traumatized, Im contemplating sticking my head in the oven. There's no sleep for me tonight. What if this centipede laid eggs somewhere and a whole battalian of them hatch and crawl over my face at night when I sleep. One lick from one of these, and I'll need skin grafts. Well goodnight everyone, AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Wall juice-too funny.
Pink has its perks. Now that spider-squeamish DH has adopted my method, there's always a good laugh to be had when he gets the pink net from the broom closet and heads down the stairs. Pink does not clash with his hair, but it somehow really stands out against his 6' tall 230-pound frame!
What a very refined way to get rid of bugs. However the bugs that you set free will now tell 20 friends, and those friends will tell 500 friends, that the worst thing that will happen to them is to get thrown out in a beautiful pink net. Then, you will have the charge of the bug brigade invading your house. A more "permanent" solution is necessary. It has to be known that whatever checks in to your house becomes wall juice.
Dawn, you've inspired me! My hunt for a butterfly net begins today!! Although not pink- I fear it would clash with my hair:) Pinky Tuscadero chasing bugs is not good:D
You get my vote for the Golden Keyboard Award for this submission. If there were such an award, that is!
I bought myself my very own butterfly net from the dollar store. Impressive, real bamboo handle and flirty pink mesh net. It's a wonderful addition I keep handy in the broom closet, for the odd bee or wasp that gets in (some windows are sans screens) and for the occasional gigantic spiders that I really don't want to hear a "crunch" from. Sometimes I flush my catch, but occasionally I just draw the window open and hurl the whole thing outside, butterfly net and all. The bees free themselves and return to the garden.
I am fearless with my pink butterfly net.
With MIL on phone and a new batch of wet clothes to go in the dryer, a friggin spider came up with the lint tray. How friggin normal is that???
Need I say I screamed ever so loud in MIL's ear I probably set her need for hearing-aid back ten years.
(and so on!)
Every time I see the word centipede, it reminds me of something my mom said a few years ago. She was about 84 at the time, and one day she told me about an awful black worm she found crawling on the floor in her kitchen. She'd been having trouble keeping a clear head because of an issue with her insulin, and I wondered if she had really seen such a thing or if it was something that took place during one of her rough spells. Well, a year later I saw for the first time what she must have been talking about. It was in MY house, though-got through the crack below the door I figure since I have since seen them in my garden. A solid worm-looking black thing with oodles of little wee legs, just like a centipede. (or maybe it IS some kind of centipede)
YUCK!
get your licking insect or arachnid stories back on the D&D forum where I can find them for the soonest possible laugh!
