Aliens

[starlooker (Duc)]

Here's what I think.

People watch stuff on TV that they already have on DVD because there is a sense of community.

You know(whether consciously or not) that other people are watching it as well. And when the ads come on, you know(whether consciously or not) that people are getting up just like you, and then coming back and sitting down again. In your rmind(whether consciously or not), it's no fun watching the DVD alone, but it's more fun to know that other people are watching it at the same time.

It's like a subconscious gathering, a shared event.

No, I take out the DVD put it into the projector

pull down my 100" screen

turn on the 5.1 surround sound system with sub woofer

get a beer and chips

turn out the lights

and watch the movie uninterrupted

I'm with you girl .... if there was a giant Huntsman at my back door, there is no way I would go anywhere near it.

Get a straw broom - one made with real straw not fake straw.

Use the insect spray to slow the spider down then stab it with the straw broom.

I'm with you Jen. I am happy to play with my snake but I can't stand big, hairy spiders.

You hover the straw tips over the spider 2 to 3 inches from it and then stab it dagger style several times. I only have a fake straw broom and the bristles flex too much when I stab.

I keep a spider catcher around the place...basically it's a clear plastic tub attached to along handle which you place over the poor scared spider..slip a piece of cardboard under the tub then tranfer the lot outside and allow the spider to crawl out unharmed...I only do this if I have to...otherwise I don't mind having a huntsman in my palce cause they hunt down and eat whitetales!!!

Hi Jen, Liz and All,
What a bunch of wimps! You too Chillie, I pick the huntsman up with bare hands. I know where the biting part is and even if it did sink the fangs in they are harmless.

I take care of my spiders. They kill of the "Badumna insignis". Black house or window spider, and Redbacks. Plus lots of nasty insects.

If the Huntsman is found inside I toss it out unharmed. I think the Big Green Tree Frogs finish them off though.

People seem to do the wrong thing to control pests at times. They not only kill off all the nasties, they kill off the controlling bugs/animals as well.

That allows the nasties to breed up in larger than usual numbers. All you need do is to learn about the Huntsman etc and overcome your fears.

Makes living somewhat better. We have very few flies or mosquitoes here.

I also attract a lot of the carnivorus aves (birds) to the house. Almost no grasshoppers in the garden and rarely spray the fruit trees.

Whoops this was about Aliens. Hmm. Well bugs are aliens in the house?

Cheers Marty

Marty you are a crazy man

[sjastro]

I catch them as well and release them outside.

I think they are cute creatures, they give you undivided attention with their 4 pairs of eyes.
