Lately, with the cooling weather, we've had giant house spiders coming inside. They're a big as my hand. My son killed one; the cat dispatched the other. I hope we don't have any more huge unwanted visitors. I can manage the smaller varieties on my own, even taking them to the park to release them.

No, no... Spidey Patrol, not Spider man. Completely different. With great power comes great responsibility... vs. With great T.P. comes late night responsibilities.

I am honored to be among the throng on spider control. It was a key activity during our courtship. I proved myself worthy and won the title of 'Spidey Patrol.' One of my many responsibilities around the house.

My ex is a total arachnophobe. I handled the spider killing chores.

My first hint that Deb has seen a spider is when she shows up with a crumpled tissue to flush.

I still get to open tight jar lids, though.

Fun stuff, as always.

And: "So yesterday I went outside and knocked down two spiderwebs with a broom." You're braver than I am.
