I didn't swerve in traffic too bad ... but when I got to my friend's house - the first thing I asked her 'Can you see spider guts on my neck??' ... see what I get for hanging out with Kay and her bug-a-boos???

oh, honey!
you're so brave, my leetle Vonny...
want to tell you though, I use the BRUSH technique, just in case it might be a fire ant, or a bee, which I don't want to BITE me when I squooosh 'em... 'cause I'm allergic.
BUT... your method is indubitably BETTER while driving, since you don't want whatever-it-is loose in a moving vehicle while you're driving, giving it a second chance to land or crawl on you.
most of the spiders I leave alone, webs-and-all (unless company's coming, LOL!) because they catch other things that bother me more.
the main ones I kill are the
wolf spiders...
tarantulas I catch (or more likely, make mi esposo do it!) and release outside safely... the only danger with them is they have urticarious hairs they can shoot off their abdomens, which can cause eye problems... otherwise, they're pretty cool.
and scorpions, they usually meet their maker if they come into my house.
oh, and good job on the house-hunt, I'm so happy you have secured something suitable.
you DESERVE it !!
