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...

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”

      Why Panthers’ Dave Canales won’t run a QB sneak with Bryce Young

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      He is just fuging limited in every way.  On one hand, and nfl player, you would want to bulk them up so long as it doesn’t limit their mobility, elasticity, flexibility, ROM, or dynamicism - as is the concern with bulking up.  But the issue with that is, you would be worried about that when a guy has those traits to begin with.  Bryce is a very average athlete with a weak arm.  So if you’re not gonna be a great athlete with a strong arm, bulk up.  And if you can’t or won’t bulk up, find another fuging profession that doesn’t require athleticism and arm strength.  You’re built like a bitch AND aren’t a great athlete - you can’t be subpar in both categories…  well, unless you play for the Panthers apparently.
