*If you have a fear of spiders, you probably shouldn't look at this post.*
Meet the Brown Widow Spider. I HATE SPIDERS. I am deathly afraid of them, and I think they are out to get me. I survived a bite from a brown recluse about 4 years ago, and still have some discoloration on my left lower calf from the lovely little visitor who decided to BITE me in my bed! The other day, Mr. Top Gun received a lovely informational package *of crap, really* from his new Squadron in Japan, so I opened it up and found a little book filled with a bunch of information about these things: Food, culture, manners, typhoons, Japanese housing, the ocean *GORGEOUS*, ocean creatures and deadly land creatures. Yeah! Giant centipedes, stinging worms, Viper snakes, mosquitoes and... THE BROWN WIDOW SPIDER.
Seriously?!?!? I looked at the picture and threw the book half way across the room, and I swear I felt a spider on me... somewhere. I later spoke with Mr. Top Gun, and showed him the photo of the spider. This is what he tells me: "Awesome! They look nice." W-H-A-T? His joke did not sit well with me, and by the time he realized how upset I was, I was crying. I know I may sound like a weenie to some of you, but I can't HANDLE SPIDERS!
The end.
