Haha, did the card cost less to make than the potential lunches you could win?

I'm having lemon drop martinis. They're very nice.

I'm drinking an icy Pepsi.

But maybe I'll have a few pitchers of beer and some wine later.

I'm downing some Mylanta as we speak...I just found out how much my wife spent for my daughter's prom dress, alterations, hair, make up, manicure/pedicure, tanning...

That's what I have to look forward to...

Just wait till your Daughter get's married. The prom dress is just a drop in the bucket.

I fell asleep on my brother's deck yesterday afternoon and something bit me. I have an itchy bump the size of a golf ball on my arm.

I'll be in the poorhouse, jail or in the ground before a wedding at this rate! When is the big day, Mig?

Sounds like a spider bite, PB.

Oh no, he's gonna get Spider Flu.

I think he'll become Spiderman.

Better than getting shot in the foot (ala Spider in "Goodfellas").

spider man spider man lol

12 more days.

Does whatever a spider can.
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies.
Look out! Here comes the Spiderman.

has anybody been bitten by a bat?

Does my first wife count?

You're saying she was batty?

lol

I think ALL wives count!

Yeah.... generally to 10 after they knock you out.

OMG!! I would have a heart attack just seeing a bat anywhere in my vicinity. They are the creepiest ugliest most disgusting creatures. Just the thought makes me.

actully spiders are, but yea lol (i am even afraid of daddy long legs...fucking scare me every time) i also hate bees and wasps.

TIS, since I was a kid I'd always see and wonder about all the birds flying around the lamp posts at night in the neighborhood. That was, until someone told me they weren't birds! We found one (dead) in our basement when I was a kid, and it was the tiniest little thing, that it was almost cute. ...but then heard stories how they could get tangled in your hair and stuff, and it kinda freaked me out. But luckily that never happened. And probably won't now that I don't have quite as much hair as I did back than.

WHAT???

I'm not a big fan of spiders, trust me... but Daddy Long Legs I don't even consider spiders. I love picking them up, and letting them crawl over my arms and pretty much anywhere - they can't hurt, and certainly aren't nearly as disgusting as those tiny little hairy mofos that seem to move at 120 MPH! Furry spiders are disgusting. So are the big ones with hard shells (like crabs)! But nah, not the innocent li'l Daddy Long Legs who seem to just like to chill!!

I agree completely! Daddy Long Legs are the one type of spider I refuse to kill when the family is freaking out over it. I always let them go in the yard. The rest of those lightning quick hairy spiders, or even worse the jumping wolf spiders need to die instantly.

Geez, I am not necessarily afraid of spiders, but I just stomp on them or bug spray them. I don't care what kind of bug it is (I'm not a critter person).

Geoff, speaking of bats. Many years ago (In Michigan), I opened the door from our kitchen, which led right to a breezeway. I was gonna go to the garage and in my car. As soon as I opened the door, fluttering wings and an ugly disgusting rat face went right by my face. I screamed, and fell on my ass in between the kitchen and the breezeway. I felt there was no time to even get on my feet, and slammed the door shut with my foot. That damn bat stayed glued to the wall in the breezeway for what seemed like a couple hours.

I had to wait and watch for my husband to get home because I sure as hell wasn't going to even go near that creature. He opend the breezeway doors, got a broom and chased it out. I will NEVER forget that.

Oh, and my first "batty" experience. I was about 10/11 and attended catholic school. The class was in the church basement, where they held many events throughout the year, at some school program. Suddenly a bat flies overhead very low. Everybody screamed, and I ran like crazy to the bathroom and shut the door. I don't even like regular birds flying anywhere near me. I'll cross the street when I see a flock of pigeons anywhere. Don't know why.

A few years back my brother was visiting and we went to Universal Studios tour. At the end we were all seated watching a show (of sorts). They opened a big hatch and tons of birds came flying toward the audience. I screamed like crazy and covered my head (they were regular birds not bats). Of course my useless brother just laughed his ass off.

I drank a martini for the first time in years on Sunday SB. My wife had made a pitcher of them up for her and my mother whilst we sat outside in the sun. Because i was having problems thinking about having to move in order tgo go to the fridge to rescue a beer i allowed myself to guzzle a martini instead.

Very dry,very pleasant. Very thirst-quenching and palate-tingling!

We had bats in the attic of a converted 19th Century mansion where I used to work. One secretary was terrified of them and worked on the upper level. I bought a lifelike rubbery bat that dangled from a thin string on a stick. After setting her up that morning by sayimg I saw some bats, I waited a couple hours before sneaking up behind her and bouncing the thing over her shoulder. Her scream had people running up from two floors below.

It's illegal to exterminate bats. They're the best weapon out there controlling the the mosquito population. They're nature's superheroes, rodents with wings.
