Intent on killing the motherfucker I look down to see what it is and see a big ass motherfucking black spider. It's abdomen was roughly the size and shape of a pee, maybe a little bit bigger. It's legs were thick as fuck and you could see where they were segmented. It was about as big as a dollar coin. I grabbed a bunch off tissues and quickly killed the shit out of that bitch, looked at the bottom of her, and saw a splotch of red. It was too smashed to make out the hourglass, but there was definitely red and it looked exactly like a fucking black widow. It crawled not six inches away from me, and that's just when I noticed it. For all I know it was crawling on me. *shiver*

Nice! If your presence here becomes stagnant we'll know why. We won't like it, but we'll know why.

Tough, man. Always horrible to hear that sort of news. Hope he manages to beat it, or they can at least cure it.

Batlord, why don't you do something useful and start a quest to kick the **** out of cancer with that bloody great sword ya got, huh?

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully they found it early enough.

This scared the crap out of me just reading it! I can't believe that you killed the spider with some tissue. In that situation I'd have to evacuate the room whilst keeping an eye on the spider so I know where it is. In the meantime I'd call somebody to deal with it! Even then I wouldn't want it killed just taken out of the house.

From what he's told me on the phone, he seems to think if he is diagnosed with prostrate cancer that it will be caught in the early stages. I'm not sure if he's being just optimistic here, as he has also told me that he's had some related health issues for quite some time now.

Anyway cheers to both of you for commenting.

If I let it get away and lost track of it I'd wouldn't be able to sleep in that room. I don't mess with most spiders, so long as they are web spiders, but a Black Widow has to die. I'm not taking the chance of taking it outside and it going back into the house and crawling into my mouth when I'm asleep.


Brick. It's the only Black Widow I've ever seen outside of an exhibit, so I figure it was just a freak occurrence, but I can't help but be nervous whenever I try to go to sleep.
