spiders, with a few exceptions, are harmless. and beneficial because they eat insect pests.

They gross me out. I do feel bad afterwards these days. I hate the way they move.

If I cannot do a personal pilgrimage through different people and places, and traveling distances..
Then I would have to do with new different situations and contextual time spans with the same places and people instead.

i agree that they are unsettling and alien, but i can't kill something just because it's ugly, otherwise some bigger and badder being would have the moral right to kill me.

Lol, that's cute. Still hasn't changed my mind though. What would be wonderful is an efficient spider catcher that immediately traps the spider without harming it. I've had a few different ones over the years. A couple of them like this one unintentionally harmed them.

Can anyone guess how?

I am not at all any good at online things. Uhmmm. I am worked up... Well. I need to relax. So I will ignore the online forms for now. Much easier.

Just been very busy. It's been over 10 days since the day off, with no real rest in between since last monday.

In the mind, it's a mess -- well, it looks and acts like a mess. It's a wonder if this body gets sick, or that this mind had yet to break itself down. Yet still it still mess things up, because of being stressed out. :lol:

But somewhere else, it's more of an exercise and a light reading.

If you call 45+ min walks every early morning on my way to work day AND night after work an 'exercise'. And on top of observing every moment and noticing myself doing things I don't normally notice as 'light reading'.

Sorry if that's a bit of a weird answer. :lol:

I'm fine.

the legs would get pinched or crushed. i've had good luck trapping them in a little transparent medicine cup [so i can see where they are at] and placing them outside in the woods.
