Just killed the biggest, nastiest Brown Recluse Spider in my kitchen...

Frequently homeowners bring in brown spiders

thought to be a brown recluse. Many spiders are

mistaken for brown recluse spiders. In North Carolina

it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that you will find a recluse

spider. It is possible but incredibly unlikely since their

range extends only to the southwestern-most border of

NC.

Yeah, many people think this is a brown recluse:

It's not. It's a wolf spider. VERY common. And mostly harmless. In fact, they are beneficial in keeping infestations of other insects down.

Now this... is a brown recluse.

Notice the tiny fiddle mark behind the eyes.

I can honestly say, I've never seen one. Which is normal. They are recluse spiders because they are reclusive... they hide.

awesome spider story: once upon a time i was in australia staying in a cabin in the wilderness and it turned out it was infested with spiders. bigass hungryass spiders. i'd turn out the light and within thirty seconds i'd feel the first one scuttle across my chest, followed immediately by several more. i'm pretty sure the mattress was infested with them as well as the rest of the cabin.

after several times of turning the light off and lunging for the switch moments later i realized i either was gonna stay up all night or get bitten. i turned off the light and went to sleep. the next morning i was covered in welts. some spider with a sick sense of humor bit a smiley-face-shaped range of welts into my and. ugly asshole bug

anyway, hope you feel better OP, spiders are seriously such dicks.

Why didn't you just leave the light on, or leave?

...whatever...

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
