Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

But I should respond to the other things before I forget. What was it about again? Oh yes, spiders!

Then there are the cellar spiders: [link]. Those are the ones we mean here in Australia, and the ones that eat redbacks.

Those are the ones I call daddy long legs and that I decided were friendly, as spiders go, when I was a little girl. We also have those crane flies in our house, only we don't call them crane flies or daddy long legs, we call them mosquito eaters, mostly I think to reassure ourselves that they aren't hugenormous mosquitos.

Where did you see the thing with the guy tracking his food? Was it a new thing, or from before?

The daytime doctor was very forthright about Hubby's expectations. The nighttime doctor waffled. I very much appreciated Daytime Doctor, I needed simple yes/no answers. Could the failing organs be saved? No. Could he get transplants? Very, very unlikely. It was hard, but simple after that.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Those are the ones I call daddy long legs and that I decided were friendly, as spiders go, when I was a little girl.

I am unquestionably skewing Ryan's knowledge base, but he too thinks of daddy long-legs as "the friendly spiders", because of their habit of eating more dangerous spiders. (Still and so, I don't fancy their chances against a funnelweb.)

Learning which animals are dangerous must be really easy in Australia. Just memorize the list of safe animals, sheep, and you know the rest are trying to kill you.

Gud needs a Like button.

Though sheep can be mean.

Edit: "Australia: Yes, it's trying to kill you."

Good on you for seeing your friend through that awful experience, JZ. I'm sure you were a huge comfort to her.

Oh JZ. You were wonderful to stay and you have the bestest heart.

I'm still in SLC and we had the good, the bad, and the ugly in the office today. The good - free lunch! The bad (ok, not bad-bad, but a set-up bad for the ugly) - it was a chili cookoff. The ugly - too many beans...

Another hour in the office and then I head off to the airport. Hopefully flights are on time and easy.

That was so good of you, JZ.
