Did You Know

[cornerofmadness]

that if you touch an electric skillet while it's working your skin will make that sizzling noise like bacon hitting hot cast iron. And then the skin will dangle from the skillet tauntingly as you leap around cussing.

Talk about failing at life...sheesh.

I did get more of the garden weeded. the cats helped. By this I mean every time I tried to grab the plants out, someone would attack me. Oh and for extra added excitement as I worked on my zen garden, a monstrously large huntsman spider came at me, egg sac still attached to her belly.
Nothing like making me dance and sing for the amusement of my neighbors.

*laughs in delight horror*

Spider! Spider!

And ouchie ouchie ouchie.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

she was a monster. the shovel didn't even scare her

it's on the webbing between thumb and finger

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Please tell me, as she was outside and eating mozzies and terrifying your cats, you didn't kill her.

eta(Note my concern over the spider, saying nothing about your poor webbing.

...webbing. Maybe she was coming to offer advice. Aren't spiderwebs supposed to be good for burns? I could swear I read that somewhere.)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

spiders do not improve burns but i didn't kill her. Kyo tried but missed

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Kyo, she might've eaten you, if she had an egg sac.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

which might be why he went ripping around. He lept into the creek twice while I was watching

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

...into the creek?

Does he realize he's a cat?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well he jumps into the thicket, you hear a crashing sound then a splash....

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's just stupid. Gotcha. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

or doesn't look before leaping...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

...doesn't that fall under the heading 'stupid'?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

pretty much but it's a subgenre

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, degrees of stupidity, gotcha.

WHoah! A huntsman in Ohio?? O_O That's unusual. They don't usually live this far north. *shudder*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

wolfspider then. they're in the huntsman class. she was huge.

[makd.livejournal.com]

Why did you touch an electric skillet? O_o

Still: passes ointment and a glass of lemonade.....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the oil had spilled over and I was trying to clean it and got closer than intended

[winged-sandals.livejournal.com]

Sounds like an exciting day, heh

There's a lot of "ouch" and "eeee" and "aauugh" to be said probably. Glad you made it out in (mostly) one piece!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks and it gets worse. points to new post

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Ouchie! Don't touch electric skillets! You're one of two people I know who managed to burn themselves badly this week.

Giant spider?! EEEEEEEK! Probably wasn't afraid of the shovel because it could have taken it away from you.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's turned a fun purple color now.

that was my fear of that spider

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

I had two spider incidents in this last few days -- threw a full glass of Coke clear across the room with one of them.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh my

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Ah, but the next day it appeared in my daughter's room, and I got my revenge by smashing the little bastard. Flushed it down the toilet, wrapped in a Kleenex. Take that!

(By the way, when I say "little bastard" I mean huge honkin Godzilla sized bastard!)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes I know those spiders well. FL had the biggest damn spiders I've seen in my life. So glad I no longer live there

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Hm. Much as I've always wanted to live in a place where it never snows, I'll pass on Florida.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

me Ilike the cold. FL was hell

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

I HATE the cold. In fact, I hate the cold so much that it's a toss up between cold and spiders.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's how i feel about heat

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

there's room for all types!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

indeed
