No brown recluse spiders but I may have sm

Posted By: mlstoo on 2006-06-05
In Reply to: Spiders anyone? - mtmtmtmt

found what looks like black widows out in my yucca bush. Scared the tar out of me. Now, I can deal with the snakes, but spiders sent me screaming. Spent some time on the internet looking them up but they might be black jumping spiders. They look to hairy to be black widows, otherwise the look a lot alike.

Could be. There are spiders everywhere...
It could be spiders biting me while I sleep. They are out of control here. DH doesn't want to hire anyone to get rid of them. He is going to Lowe's to buy the bug spray himself. We have been spraying inside and out around the house. I saw a lot of dead spiders, but there are still so many more. However, this is the South and it's humid with many, many types of bugs during the summer. I had so many bites I had to take Claritin to ease the symptoms. I will probably mention it to the doctor when I do go but won't go to urgent care. Thanks.:)
Spiders
They live in my garage and I leave them alone.
Spiders anyone?
Okay this is off topic for anything, but has anyone ever had any trouble with brown recluse spiders? We have just moved into this house in the last month. Prior to that, we had been remodeling for 3 months. I only saw one tiny spider up until last week. Last week I found 3 recluse spiders, one a day 3 days in a row and then tonight I found another. Has anyone had any trouble with these? I have sprayed the house and it apparently does not seem to bother them. The only way I can actually kill them, other than smashing them, is to spray them directly.
Spraying for spiders

I have lived in houses with brown recluse spiders all my life, am not an expert but have plenty of experience.  The spiders come in from the outside especially in the summer to escape the heat, and the fall to escape the cold.  If you didn't have a problem before the remodeling, possibly an "entrance" was opened up, but the remodeling may also have disturbed them from the attic or under the house.  We tried Terminex years ago, until my son and I developed problems with the spray.  At the time, the tech told me that sprays will only drive spiders into cracks, and they will come out when it is safe.  Maybe they have developed something new in the last few years that is better, but possibly it will only make them "disappear" for awhile.  Even so, I won't chance it with my reaction to sprays.  I am greatful for the other information, I will be buying some peppermint oil in the near future, and also trying the "sticky traps."  By the way, I have been around brown recluse spiders for 50 years, and have yet to be bitten, but they are very dangerous.  I have killed 3-4 in our house daily in the last several weeks (it is a very old house, with a lot of openings around the foundation).  Checking your bed at night, shaking your clothing, emptying your shoes, and not reaching into any dark corners without looking first will help protect you from them.  Good luck.


nah, just snakes.....and spiders.....and roaches

social recluse
Why would anyone become an MT if they needed a lot of socializing? One of the main reasons I became an MT is lack of need for interaction with others.
I was a social recluse before this job.
...which I guess is why I have adapted so well to it.  I could never handle gossip or having to walk around pretending to be a happy "team member" in an office setting.  I watch "The Office" as a reminder as to how pukey that whole workin' in an office situation really is...but it is extremely funny when you aren't a part of that atmosphere anymore though.  I once worked with a female version of Dwight and it was so not funny.  Dwight=funny.
Yes, I could easily become a recluse. Force myself to go out

My kids are far from being a social recluse...
I have some of the most social kids in the neighborhood.  Every day they are playing with other kids, and they are in karate as well.  My daughter has Tourette's syndrome and she said people at school were making fun of her tics.  I choose to protect her from those kids, but she is not at all socially isolated, only isolated from the kids who ridicule her...
If you are a social recluse, it won't make
you come out of your shell, but if your life has good balance, it should not hamper your social abilities at all. I definitely am a people person and have worked at home since early 90s.
Do you find that this job makes you a social recluse?
I never get out socially with anyone.  It's just my husband and three kids.  People used to call, but since I both work full time transcription and home school, I never had time to do anything and people just quit calling.  Yesterday evening a neighbor had a party and invited women from the neighborhood, but not me.  That hurt my feelings, and made me see just how isolated I am from the world.  I am also pretty shy by nature, but being home all day and never getting out doesn't help.  Do any of you feel isolated with this job?  Does it bother you??
Becoming a recluse happens much too often when working at home, sometimes to the point of agoraphobi

Brown/FEMA
E-mail the White House, your congressmen and senators, your newspapers, the Times-Picayune and everyone you think may help to demand the immediate firing of Michael Brown. Now is the time. He needs to go out of there. His bold-faced lying takes all American people for fools.
Look up brown nosing - not what you are

Sylvia Brown

I have never trusted that woman. She answers too quickly.  Other psychics will stop and listen, or honestly say they don't know.  S. Brown has an answer for everyone. I think she just wants to sell books.  I heard that she told the kidnapped Missouri  boys parents that he was dead between two rocks. She said the culprit was dark, Hispanic, and had dreadlocks. That is a horrible thing to make up and tell parents who have a missing child.  I prefer the guidance offered by Gary Zukow. He is not a psychic but he talks about living your life in harmony also.


 


I listen to Dr. Joy Brown sometimes on the radio

e-mail her or call her and see what she says. She gives pretty good advice and is FREE!!


If you can be positive about this relationship, you can be positive about yourself and meeting someone else. Remember, your gut feeling is what's right, and I think I know what your gut is telling you or you wouldn't be posting this in the first place, you just need someone to back you up. Don't waste any more time. & don't talk about THE REST OF YOUR LIFE -- you have choices you can make in this too as much as he has the choice to do/not do something -- it's just that you have the choice to stay in this stagnent pool of muck or get out, clean yourself off and never return to the dirty pool. Who knows what the future holds for you, but if you stay with him it will just be this same cycle over and over again, unfortunately. I say cut your losses now.


Brown & Fema delay

I JUST read that myself on the AP...I have not been one to judge quickly because there is so much blame game going on but this.......it's just inexcusable and if proven (which I'm believing it to be if the AP has the memo), then Mike Brown not only needs to lose his job immediately but also needs to stand trial for negligent homicide in all the deaths that could have been prevented IF he had not worried about his "wording, CYA he was doing" in that memo, thank God for the common folk who had the decency to start with their humanitarian efforts and got down there when they did and despite.FEMA.  I also heard that several companies like Wal-mart and RV companies were turned away because of not having the proper contracts ready, duh...FEMA did not provide them


How DARE he?????????  In my book, he will be at the head of the line of many who did not want to give up their "power" along the way to help the very people who they were voted by and sworn to represent


Mastiff,rat terrier, a brown lab, and 2 others that I am not sure of.

Herman's Hermits - Mrs. Brown You Have A

it was the first concert I ever went to.  I remember a teenage girl behind me crying her eyes out and screaming 'HERMAAAN!  HERRMAAAAAN!'


I would call it "muddy brown"
I would call it a muddy brown color.  He had some markings but it was hard to distinguish very much.  He has gone into hiding now.  A snake is a snake is a snake.  Scared of all of them!
CMs are olive, brown or black - not in NC, but in SC - sm
look it up on Google and you will get some sites which show pictures. Maybe you can identify it that way.
Love Judge joe brown!
he's my fave
You have a brown smudge on your nose you

I don’t brown nose anyone as I am not in charge
of how to tell physicians to dictate, just handle my end. I only wish, though.
As long as brown-nosing MTs
exist, who will turn backflips if a doctor tells them to, this crapola will continue. Dictating on a cell phone is rude I agree. You'd think years and years of college, med school and residency they would learn how to form a correct sentence and get it right the FIRST time. Not too much to ask that the greedy SOBs be considerate.
Speaking of TV, anybody watching Being Bobby Brown?
He is coming off as the most normal between the two of them.  I honestly believe Whitney Houston is certifiably crazy.   It is really sad and scary to watch her.  And her child!  Is she going to have issues or what.  Her mother is/was beautiful and crazy drug abuser.  Her father is in jail on and off and a bit of an abuser himself. And the child at best is very plain and overweight.  She looks sad and depressed most of the time.  On a rerun I happened to be watching last night she told her mother to get away or she was going to hit her.  This is a very sad reality show.  I don't get why they would let cameras into their dysfunctional life.
My dog loves his brown rice and chicken!
He turns his nose up at most dog foods.  Found out he was actually eating the cat food.  For some reason the cats stopped attacking him when he got near their food.  A few weeks after I put the cat food up on a bench where he can't reach it, he had lost 5 lbs.  He'll eat the dog food now, but he loves his special rice and chicken once in a while.
Good grief, charlie brown. nm

Dear Muscle Stimulator. Brown:
The office manager did not find this funny at all.  My boss and I did, however.  That quick correct didn't last long.
This is poor spelling, not brown-nosing.
LOL
The point is she could only be promoted by brown-nosing
duh
Grape jelly and brown sugar????
Is that as a sauce or in the meatball mix, itself? Would you mind parting with the recipe, my curiosity is getting the best of me.
Ewww! Are those the brown hard little bugs that
I HATE THOSE!

I'll be watching to see what suggestions you get!! LOL


I did my office is yellow-gold with brown
tones and then with thinned brown craft paint ragged on using an old T-shirt.  Turned out great and elegant.   I also did my bathroom in green tones. People think its wall paper. This technique also hides any flaws you may have in your wall because it sort of gives it a 2D effect.
Muddy brown is not good. Could be a cotton mouth.
Or maybe a dull copperhead. Both are poisonous. If he opens his mouth and its white inside, he's a cottonmouth.

I watch Judge Judy and am not a crazy and do not like Sylvia Brown! :) NM

this show certainly should not feed bobby brown's ego. it makes him look foolish and whitney nut
his only claim to fame pitifully enough is he is married to whitney houston and looking at whitney in the depths of her insanity, that's really not much of a claim.
I love to make meatballs with the grape jelly and brown sugar mix.
Also, the little smokies (wieners) and bbq sauce for appetizers.
Ours is in the regular food store with the brown, wild, and short grain rices, etc. nm

How about Whitney (pre-Bobby Brown/druggie days), Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey?
better than Streisand too. When she was big she had no competition and the world didn't expect as much out of its entertainers. Think about it.
Maybe some sausage and peppers on hard rolls, but brown all the peppers, onions, and sausages

Dinner tonight? For me, it's grilled mahi-mahi, fruit/veggie salsa, brown rice and broccoli.
