With tomato purée and stuff

Can't speak for the other person, but I'm in Spain and black olives in spaghetti is very normal here :-)

On the plus side I now have House Centipedes, which are like spiders who are in training for athletic competition (they run at about human walking speed).

I went and looked up the water drop hat thing, apparently water was put on jumping spiders for cute photos and isn't a real thing :-(

You already know the answer to that, Sarge

Nice username :-)

Are those the ones that wear a little water blob hat sometimes?

Where I live now there's lots of interesting bugs but surprisingly few spiders, when I was growing up our house was always full of spiders (very old house out in the countryside) so I guess I never had the opportunity to be scared of them, lol

Yeah, I've converted the first book I'm reading to plain text and have it just down the side of my screen :-)

I don't have to bother with a bookmark since I just delete what I've read so far, which is also handy.

True Lies is a fantastic movie, doesn't belong on this thread at all!

Thanks, I'll add it to my list, it sounds great :-)

I'm not afraid of spiders though, I had a pet tarantula once

This might be the most arousing piece of text I've ever read

While that's true, most of them are abandoned for a reason ... lack of work or water being the big two.

I've already read a lot of mythology stuff at work, it's very interesting but I'm ready for more contemporary input :-)
