On Building Materials
I'm building a bed, one with storage and shelves. I've decided that while Stacey "likes" MDF (medium density fiberboard) that has been made famous by all of the do-it-yourself-even-if-you-don't-know-what-you're-doing shows, I hate the stuff. Give me wood, or my mocha will end up being thrown against the garage wall.
So, there are the usual distractions when doing the old home improvement thing. This leftover from a Godzilla movie decided that sandpaper was a comfortable place to hang out. I was not about to argue.
It turned out to be a friendly spider.
Later, as I was hitting golf balls across the road during one of my breaks, I noticed something on the ground near edge of the creek. It, too must be a leftover from a Godzilla movie -- probably still radioactive.
What did I do with it? What anyone would do, of course. Put it out in the road to see what would happen when it got hit by a car going by.
What would you have done … acted all adult-like?

I really expected to hear that you whacked it clear to Georgia with that there iron club.

Posted by: Anji at October 7, 2005 04:29 AMWhere did these big spiders come from? I don't remember them around when I was a kid. Now they're everywhere.
Cripes, I hate spiders!
I would have made some mushroom soup for my ex-husband.
