I aged 20 yrs today.........

Sitting quietly at my computer, coffee in hand, and enjoying the fact the house was quiet with the kids gone to school, this fricking thing made its presense across my keyboard. Needless to say, I wore my coffee, and my chihuahua is now traumatized by the howls I made. Enough said...........WTF is this?

ive seen that before in the states mostly northern. Although that one is quite larger..... sorry i cant help but the ones that look like that here are harmless aside from maybe a small bite.

ACK! At least it was the keyboard and not your hands! Poor beth, I'd probably have a couple extra greys after that myself!

No clue but it would have been squished if it was in my house!! LOL..... I am considering a tarantula but it would never, never come out of its cage!! I know wolf spiders get pretty darn big, no clue what they look like but my friend out at Muriel lake says she gets them there big!! Another friends DH works up on oil rigs and happened to bring two small ones home in his backpack by accident and my friend found them while emptying it out to do laundry.... all his stuff was thrown outside until later that evening when he got home and she made him wash his own stuff that night!! LOL, she is terrified of spiders and snakes, she doesn't come visit me either.

Thanks,
