I call the house spiders "Sylvie" .

Had a chance to pat a tarantula many years ago. Fascinating!

Re: spiders

Hate them, don't scream and yelp but get rid of them quickly and quietly. Then stand and quake lol. He always knows if I've had a Spider in the House and he runs his fingers over my neck and whispers "you missed one titch"......Then wonders why he gets a slap.

Re: spiders

If they sit up high in the corner of the room, then I will tolerate them. If they're the huuuuge black hairy ones that scamper along the floor, then it's outside they go.

Re: spiders

Re: spiders

Oh yes and when I was hearing friendly if I went into a room and there was a Spider I could hear them, I know sounds far fetched but I was always right.
