spawn of satan


spider bite

I got this nasty bite on my chest. It's looking better now after antibiotics. The doctor said to try to get the infection out, if you know what I mean. So I scheduled a session with LeeElla where she squeezed the infected guts out. If a man could faint, I think I came close. My whole right side of my chest and armpit is swollen and extremely sore. Yesterday I was laid out in pain...now I have yet another reason to hate arachnids...vile, venomous spawn of satan!

:-/ Looks really bad. Do you guys have Brown Recluses up there?

spawn of satan indeed! I just killed a Hobo spider outside of my back door the other day that was the size of a silver dollar (if you measured from tip to tip on his legs) I'll have to show you the picture, I got a good one. On a more random note, having seen your picture but not having read your post, I thought somebody had the smallest nipple in the history of Western Civilization!

The location of the bite begs the question...was one of those vile creatures A) actually inside your clothing while you went about your day unaware (insert the sound of my skin crawling here), B) making its rounds on your face and neck before nesting/biting on your chest while you slept (insert the sound of my bones rattling with fear here) or were you just chilling on your front porch shirtless and lost in deep contemplation with your pipe? Anyway you shake it, Arachnaphobia the movie has nothing on Spokane!

Um, hello? Eric the sci-fi geek gets bitten by a spider and no one questions his ability to scale walls and shoot webbing from his wrists?

Can you sense danger when it's near? Did you get all ripped and buff like Tobey Maguire?

Funny you should say that...When Klow the oldest in Kan Shwee's famliy saw my bite, She said "Spider Man!"
LOL.

You're a bigger man than I Mr. Blauer. I'd probably just sell the house and move.

Todd...dude...no house is immune from bad spiders. We just spent a couple hundred bucks the last 6 months trying to eradicate the brown recluses we have. My biggest moment of terror: my wife was at a women's retreat last January or so, and I was picking up stuff in the kitchen. My 2 year old (then not quite 2) walked up to put something in the trash bag - a brown recluse that she had picked up and squished, but hadn't been bitten by. I was in a panic for about 6 hours waiting to see if she had a big spot like Eric's coming up on her little fingers.

That makes my knees go weak just thinking about it!
I'm not sure if we have the Recluse (what an evil name) up here or not.
