Sev...I have a story that just might creep you out. Several years ago my husband and I lived in a house built in 1790. We were having breakfast in the dining room that had fire place. I felt a tickle on my chest. Looking down I saw a spider about 4" in diameter in the v-neck of my nightie. I jumped up screaming, "Spider! Spider!" and tried to brush it off. My husband jumped up yelling, "Where, where?" We were looking all around me and not seeing it. "Maybe in the woodpile!" I'm still screaming. Then I felt the tickle again. I had knocked it down between my breasts and it was crawling back up! My husband, my hero, took my nightie by the neckline and with both hands ripped it right down the middle! I turned and ran into the kitchen totally naked and left him with the nightie in his hands. I stood in the doorway bouncing up and down until he found it in the woodpile and smushed it. This happened over 40 years ago and remembering still makes me shiver.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851198467161002487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-1162872819173451592006-11-06T23:13:00.000-05:002006-11-06T23:13:00.000-05:00I'm with Cuddlybum!

My 4 year old would be sending ninja swings towards it though! He wants to be a wildlife biologist like his dad!!! I will say I have been within 2 feet of a black bear and her cub in my front yard though! Of course that was after papa shrek had captured and caged it! And my cat had a fight with a corn snake on our front porch once... I let them fight it out! I wasn't going near!!!!<BR/><BR/>CaryeCaryagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283871229312401932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-1162775258706172632006-11-05T20:07:00.000-05:002006-11-05T20:07:00.000-05:00Un-be-lievable, PK!
