Are we talking asperin, paracetemol or ibroprofen?
For Christmas? It better be something stronger than that.

Let's talk about bunnies, now, okay?
How cool. I sell video arcades and always wanted to build something just like that complete with 80's themed decor. But a little thing called money has always stood in the way.I'm getting the shivers reading all these spider stories. Smish, I don't know how you managed to kill that black widow. Bouncy ball big? Ewwwwww. And I never knew how horrible brown recluse spiders were.
Here's a new topic - Spotted at the park on a beautiful Indian Summer weekend (seriously gorgeous weekend) - a kids' birthday party, complete with a giant "Games To You" truck - a truck where 10-15 kids can go inside and play video games.
At the park. On a sunny day.
I had a fright with my mom a few weeks back (she's okay now), but it made for some long, stressful ER visits.
*sneaks in*
one more spider story...
Heard about the brown widows taking over Southern California?

Good news (such as it is)--they aren't as dangerous to humans, and they don't usually move inside houses.
Me too. Hugs for Sheila and Mom.MJ - glad mom is okay. Hope she stays that way for a very long time.
Why the freaking heck would anyone think that was a fun idea to do?Okay, I've got one more spider thing, too. A German fellow built a small model of a glass-walled room, filmed two spiders running around it, then projected it into the windows of the actual room, so that it looked like the room was filled with giant spiders:

That is nasty and scary.So when I was bitten by a brown recluse in 3rd grade, it swelled up on my leg. I remember we were moving our chairs around the classroom to prepare for music class. When I bumped my chair against the side of my knee, the bite burst open and a ton of blood and pus poured out. I naturally freaked out and went up to the teacher blubbering incoherently. Although I was not much of a crier, the teacher was really no-nonsense and told me to sit down. Eventually I got her to look down at my leg and she ordered me to the nurse. Even the nurse was grossed out. When my mom took me to the doctor, she cried (my mom, not the doctor) when the doctor poked around in the bite. Once it was all cleaned up, the venom had left two holes deep enough for the sharpened end of a pencil
That is not something I'd ever want to encounter.But they're harmless to humans and they eat flying bugs (I hate flying bugs way more than I hate spiders. If spiders ever learn to fly... *shudders*).
And they also make a nice stew.I vote for discussing bunnies. Definitely.
My kids have four of them. They are very cute. And cuddly. And if they bite, it doesn't really hurt. Much.
No, I don't remember that.But they do not have venom that eats your flesh. Besides, the only person I have ever heard of being attacked by a rabbit was Jimmy Carter. While canoeing. Anybody else remember that?
Oh, I actually like looking at those huge stripey garden spiders. Mine are black and yellow, I think. I don't get very close because they could maybe jump or something and I can't deal with that. But they are pretty to see from a distance.
