When you switch it off, you don't hear the pitter-patter of crane flies... Sorry to gross you out with the "eight s-words" factoid. Blame my son. Anna, you trained Minnie Kitty to get them? Wow. I did try getting Byron. His take: "they bounce, therefore they are springers and they can play in my house. Get my door back and I might do something." (He still thinks the brick wall is going to morph back into a door. Uh - no. There's another door going to appear soon. In a different place.) Oh, and I got the long verification. (Yesterday it was Mr V Shy" which amused me. Shy man near our Julie? Nah! She'll make him party.) Ah, I *knew* there was something useful about a hearing aid.

Drives me nuts, too. Although we have trained Minnie Kitty to hunt them down and eat them, so she only needs about half an hour at bed time to clean out the house. We're still working on getting her to pick up all the legs afterwards, though. *sticks fingers in ears* laaal laa laaa laa la la *not listening to spider talk*

Um..let's not go there, lol. Did you HAVE to bring up walking on me in my sleep??? LOL! I have long hair and thanks to my inability to handle stress, lol, it falls out here and there. So, occasionally, youll see me walking, then break out into some sort of hop-scotch/new wave freak out dance because I feel a bug on my arm or my leg...only to discover it's my hair. I wonder if I can bind my face and leave only nose holes while I sleep to avoid that spider eating thing...LOL! Dee PS--does anyone else notice that when they post on Julie's blog, they get some sore of 9 letter cursive word verification...and then after it's posted there's a giant, easy to read, 5 letter word for the next gal? Or is it just me? LOL! Eat them?? Um..let’s not go there, lol. Did you HAVE to bring up walking on me in my sleep??? LOL!

And apparently because our last two winters have been mild, all the eggs have apparently hatched instead of being mainly killed off by the frost. Which is why there are so many. Now, spiders I can handle (despite the "you eat eight of them by accident in your life" comment). But ants and Daddy Long Legs... oh no. Daytime I can just about manage, but night? No, no, no. I hate the way they bounce around a light in the evening. (They're going to get in my hair or my mouth while I'm asleep - aaaaaagh!) They’re actually crane flies.
