So, an emotionally overwrought queer likes flowers and is afraid of spiders.

F*$&ing Giant Spiders. GLOBAL WARMING SUCKS.
Good Morning.
Now for the news... *#&#&#&^@ #&#^$^$*@ #)@*#&$&$&!!!!!!!
The weather is changing. Our weather here in the Northwest is doing crazy things. Plants are changing....the bugs seem to be changing.
I've lived in this house for over 12 years. I spend a good chunk of every summer in the yard. I know the birds, I know the plants, I know the bugs.
Today I met a bug I don't know. When I came downstairs this morning I found a three-inch spider in my sink. A gigantic three-inch, long-legged vicious looking spider. I've never seen anything like it before and I've been living within a half an hour drive of this house pretty much since 1978.
This spider freaks me out. So does what I am seeing in my yard. Last year my dogwood tree and the hydrangeas didn't bloom.
Any word on how the pansies are doing?
I have plants that are so big I don't understand them. I have a nicotina in the yard that is over 8 feet tall. It has leaves as big as a turkey platter. Every year I plant a few nicotina seeds from the plants from the year before. Four years ago the nicotina seed produced a 3 foot plant, the next year couple of years it was taller...almost 4 feet. This year over 8. It towers above me. I have sunflowers that are 15 feet tall and are only just beginning to put out flowers.
Next to the nicotina is a delphinium in full bloom. In August. It has been blooming since June. I have Four O'clocks that are now over five feet tall. We had those growing up in our yard 20 miles from here. Wonderful plants...they were never bigger than knee high when I was a kid. I'm guessing by the end of summer they will be taller then I am.
Our weather has been crazy. We didn't really have a winter. Spring sort of was early summer. Nothing is normal. The plants and bugs in my yard are not the same. A few days ago I came in with welts from being stung by something. I've been stung by gazillions of local bugs. I've never had this kind of reaction. Almost like something new took a chomp out of me. Things are changing quickly.
The giant spiders are coming.

It'll all be okay as soon as the democrats outlaw coal.

Size does matter......even to queers.

CO2 is good for plants.

They mainly just have a friendly chat about spiders, but a couple swatted his global warming crap:

20. The presence of spiders indicates that a local environment is healthy,
in terms of the fact that when an particular environment is polluted with chemical toxins of any kind, the first type of fauna to fall prey is the arachnid group of insects. And also they eat cockroaches and bees and flies, so that's useful.

39. ... try ChiggerX too ...
... works on a myriad of bug bites and if i recall, a tic less pricey than brand name Hydrocortisone.
Did I read it here or somewhere else, that someone got kicked off Facebook or something for using the word "Chigger."

The proper pronunciation is "Chigro"

Wrong, it's chigga.

Unless you see a Spider as big as this one in the picture,then I wouldn't worry about it to much. I mean it's not like he had to call on Clint Eastwood to come flying by in a jet to drop napalm on it.

Its chigga if its a male insect, and its your friend - and it can be applied to any insect species. For example, when addressing a male Praying Mantis, the friendly phrase "Chigga, please - that bitch of yours is gonna bite your head off one day ! You best be finding a new shawty !" might be an enjoyable way to start off a conversation !
HOWEVER - The word 'chigger' can only be used by other Trombiculidae. If used outside of that species, its a horrible racist word.

Well played....player. H-5

Trombiculidae
-5 Man points for knowing that word.

In my defense I couldn't remember how to spell it and I needed to refer to the Nadin Engine for sage advice.
I also learned that referring to Sand Fleas as Sand Chiggas sets them off into a Bitey Jihad Rage -- so, unless you want to suffer from itchy welts, don't do it while they are listening.

A few days ago I saw my first honest-to-God live scorpion here in Florida. It was ambulating sedately along the baseboard of our sun room. I had never seen one "in the wild" so to speak, though I knew a couple of species were in Florida and they were poisonous of course but not deadly so. The only scorpions I had actually seen alive before were in insect exhibits.
I smushed it with a broom and looked at it for a minute before flushing it down the toilet. It was about 2" long and dark brown with a tiny stinger. I went to bed and slept well that night, figuring if it took me 56 years to see my first one down here we weren't going to be in danger of being overrun by them anytime soon.

"chigga please"
That gave me about 5 minutes of laughter, thanks.

We have common wood spiders as big as saucers here. Most people don't know that because they just aren't lucky enough to be out that often to happen upon one. During the drought last year at home the ground was so bare (not from overgrazing, just little had grown, and the rest burned), we could spot the really big spiders from far away on the flats. Outside, I'll co-exist. Inside, it's war!
The DUmmy is probably one the few in his area to see that variety. Take a pic. Kill it. Go to work.

I am not responsible for my actions in a 20 foot radius when confronted by eight legged freaks.

I posted about these two damn spiders that weave each a web in front of my door every morning. they are shiny and round and make a cracking noise when I hit them with a stick. I walk out like a blind woman waving a rake in front of me. I HATE THEM. :rant:

The average DUmmie might be able to handle the first, but after that, your task list for them just sets the bar too high and then doubles down on that.

There's only one way to deal with bugs.

Any word that rhymes with chigger should be viewed with great suspicion.

This thread served as inspiration for the CalPig's baby spider bouncy.

Are you still on the word-banning gig? I thought you had switched over to basic human rights.

What's up with that? I have one that likes to cover my side view mirror on my car with it's web. It even survived the drive thru car wash.

I'm kind of off that kick right now, but
This reminds me of a toast...
She offered her honor
I honored her offer
And all night long I was honor
And offer !

You would think that the inner environmentalist in the DUmmies would cheer about larger plants and insects.
