southwestforests Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Their mobility aids are NOT your spider killing tools!!! DO NOT GRAB PEOPLE’S CANES OUT OF THEIR HANDS!!! Just a few moments ago as I was returning to apartment the lady who lives below me asked if I would knock down a spider web going across the breezeway. In the few moments I was trying to locate it she grabbed my cane and started to pull it out of my hand to use to knock down the web.I had on amber sunglasses to deal with the hazy glare and they turned out to be making the web invisible to my eyes. I shook her off and she turned around and tried again. NO. Not Kosher!!! That chick is blankety-blank lucky I didn’t smack her with my cane right then and there. Something happened between her and another neighbor yesterday where the Police were here the whole time I ran errands and had lunch at Taco Bell. I don’t know what happened between them, don’t want to know what happened. Ah, ya know what, I just got back from writing that up and taking it down to the Police station for them to add to their file from yesterday. Yay Me.🙂 You and your spider phobia are meaningless when compared to someone’s mobility aids. HANDS OFF!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Rat Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 You don't kill spiders with canes. Everyone knows you use tactical nuclear weapons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southwestforests Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Trying to decide whether tactical nukes also count as fire. 😁 Which reminds me, have a few of the new Ogre miniatures to paint once my hands start getting back to the new normal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If you want to irradiate the area for centuries as well as burn the little bastards, then nukes are the proper choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 That's not very PC is it ! EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT strategically placed Conkers on the floor in the corners or on window sills in the corners ; or near doors in the corners of ONE'S home etc Will keep the 8 legged beast at bay... Well they keep away in MY home and I have Conkers thus placed discreetly! Conkers have gotten natural oils that is repulsive to spiders so they keep away! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Holmes, what's a "conker"? Please elaborate. -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Conker = Horse chestnuts I have heard this many times...so I suspect it is true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snake36bravo Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 As my dear departed Onkel Willi replied to me upon returning home from hospital after my proclaiming how I proudly cleaning all the spiderwebs from his home, "Now whose going to to eat all the flies?" As for the cane snatcher, cover her apartment door in this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

echolmberg Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 A couple of months ago, I returned home from work to find all of my shoes stewn about one area of the basement. We're talking all my sneakers, my work shoes, flip-flops, Jerusalem cruisers, you name it. I was so perplexed! I asked what was going on and my two little girls answered that they were playing in the basement when they spotted a spider. They threw all of my shoes at the critter until they finally killed the little sucker. I was so busy laughing that the thought of being mad never even entered my mind.
