There is not a pacifist bone in my body when it comes to invaders in my home. However, a spider lived behind the microwave for about a year. <br /><br /> I vacuumed it out when my son was coming for a visit with his wife and kids. I did not want to freak out dil and kids. I put a cup or glass over anything crawling and wait for some guy to come around to "dispose" of the creature. <br /><br /> Actually, the vacuum cleaner is my weapon of choice. No, the eggs from anything will not hatch in the vacuum bag. The air dries them out. Okay, just to be sure, I leave the crevice attachment on the hose and put a piece of duct tape over the narrow space. So far, I have never had a bug live long enough to try to escape out the hose, the only exit from the vacuum.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-39696624548065596142011-06-30T23:02:32.062-05:002011-06-30T23:02:32.062-05:00Don't you just love the slow cooker.

I love dishes where you use stuff up, but the sweet potatoes are a surprising delicious addition.<br /><br />I'm terrified of spiders but am much better about dealing with them... though if one of the boys or hubby are around, I always defer to them to take them outside. Good job handling that on your own :)Judihttp://www.frugalfrolic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-7423823840538095882011-06-30T17:49:55.744-05:002011-06-30T17:49:55.744-05:00HHMMMMmm.... very interesting - I would have never...HHMMMMmm.... very interesting - I would have never thought to make baked beans with sweet potatoes IN them... have had them as separate side dishes... something NEW to me to try.

I agree they are creepier than many. I think any spider with a thickness to it is creepier, especially thick legs. These guys may be small (thank goodness), but the thickness bothers me. That sounds silly when I write it down.<br /><br />I keep a small jar near the front door specifically for catching and releasing bugs found at home. Sometimes with particularly creepy or large spiders I just put the jar over top and wait for Matt to come home and finish the task of getting the lid on without letting the spider out....<br /><br />Intellectually I like the spiders because they keep down the other bugs. That is hard to remember though when I feel like shrieking because an arachnid is running over my foot.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-33925845513415557212011-06-30T17:29:14.978-05:002011-06-30T17:29:14.978-05:00Your spider looks like a Jumping Spider.

Not dangerous...they're very common in Florida but can also be found world-wide. I had a spider that lived in my kitchen behind a picture for the longest time. The kids named her Millie. We took her outside after my sister refused to come over anymore.Lace up and Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143556081356821588noreply@blogger.com
