Wow....Used to be very irrational with my fear of spiders but after having children and pretending to not be scared of them, I'm not as much anymore. I think I would have a heart attack though if I found my children playing with one of those....Glad that things worked out the way they did!! And thank you by the way for all the free actions that I am addicted to downloading the last few weeks. :)Sarah K Davis Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934563094706784915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-37171908913788346202009-11-01T17:56:05.282-06:002009-11-01T17:56:05.282-06:00I'm always looking for ways to fix my overexpo...I'm always looking for ways to fix my overexposed photos (mainly due to flash).

It is not uncommon to kill at least 5 black widows a week. No joke. And the number goes up when I'm doing yard work or outdoor stuff.

Black widow spiders don't like eucalyptus, especially lemon eucalyptus. I have a bottle of the essential oil I keep. I just mix with water, shake and spray on whatever takes my fancy.

I am definitely one of those with a spider phobia, but it seems to be contained to the great big hulking wolf spiders. For now.<br /><br />Snakes in the toilets?

I know I'm very irrational about my fear because I realize I'm thousands of times bigger than they are, but I still can't help it. People at work get a big laugh when something crawls across the floor and I yelp "what is that!" as I hop onto my desk. :) Be careful!!Debbiehttp://www.magikalfolkcrafts.com/whispersfromthewoods/noreply@blogger.com
