  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Sometimes we get spiders in our house. I have a spider rescue kit that consists of an old spoon and a Baggie. I scoop up the spider, put it into the Baggie, carry it to the door and set it free. I've never seen a poisonous one like a Black Widow in here, but if I did, I'd probably use a fly swatter and there would be no rescue. Just a minor clean-up.

With that said, my hubby and I have computer desks together next to each other. Hubby was talking to his Mom about something on his pricey IPhone and set it down on his desk after the call ... right smack on top of a great big brown wood spider. He didn't notice the spider, but I did, and before I could say anything, his Mom called back and he picked up the phone and freaked.

There was the spider, injured and squirming, and he dropped the phone and had a fit. He hates spiders. I picked up the phone, used a paper towel to put the spider out of its misery, cleaned his phone off with lens cleaner, handed it back to him, and said, "Your Mom wants to talk to you."

He was very grateful, then he said, "Doesn't anything bother you, Em?"

I said, "Wait till a snake gets in here." I nodded toward my shotgun hanging on the wall.

He just looked at me funny and called his Mom back.

Ok, the game is up. We don't have to pretend any more. Guys like me are total wimps. For example, I close my eyes for blood tests and have to psyche myself up for a scale and clean when visiting the dentist. You gals win!

Everybody here, guys and gals alike, have been trained to just step on 'em and squish 'em! The only thing I get squirmish over is mice. Or any small mammals that just don't belong in my house!

I have 3 cats that deal with rodents. No rodent in its right mind would come within 500 yards of this house.

Rodents .... ewwww!

Your shotgun is not legally stored?

Why should it be? We don't have children and live in a rural area. His rifle hangs right next to it.

No legal requirement for safe storage? Not even a trigger lock?

Now we're talking!

Who has to go on the roof now, man or woman? :D

hahaha

Well, I used to, but to be honest I get queasy up there. The first time I got up there to fix a leak around the chimney, I came in and barfed after I was done. He doesn't like barfing, either.

I think you mean 'people afraid of things I'm not afraid of are hilarious'

What good is a trigger lock when someone is breaking in? No, as I explained, we don't have children and live in a rural area.

Ha! My hubby is coming in to defend himself! Give him a minute.

But truly, you fellows are real champions when dealing with fixing the roof.

My husband was literally on the roof an hour ago fixing some shingles!

We get giant centipedes in the house, and I am usually the one who takes care of those too.

Warning: This will make you itchy.


Australia the land of lots of spiders!

PS.

I don't agree with his method of control, but you have to do something for your Children's sake.

Oh if they're poisonous, they are dead and we call Terminix.

"Giant" might be an exaggeration lol. The biggest was maybe 1.5 inches long.
