Thanks, from a reformed arachnophobe

I've always been a "take them outside in a cup" kind of girl, but spiders have always given me serious creepy crawlies to the point I wouldn't walk barefoot if I saw one. Our new old basement apartment is especially spidery and I was having a really hard time with it. Spending time browsing through this and other spider-related subs has really helped me to understand, appreciate, and peacefully coexist with our other residents. They've done a good job keeping the bugs down and since most of them are little house spiders who stay nice and visible in their webs, I've actually become rather fond of them and started naming them. Abigail lives in the bathroom. Clarence was in the entryway for a good week, but he disappeared a couple days ago. I think my dog might have eaten him. I miss him.

Anyways thanks for helping me appreciate these little guys. My life is less stressful without that fear.

Edit: I came home from work and Clarence is back! Maybe he was just feeling under-appreciated.
