re: #410 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Bees don’t bother me as much as they used to, provided they don’t fly right up in my face. Wasps and hornets, I still hate to this day. But it’s spiders that I absolutely, positively cannot stand. The only one I can stand are Daddy Long Legs, and only because I know they’re pretty much harmless. Not much comfort when you live in a state that hosts the Brown Recluse and the Black Widow.

Nope… spiders don’t bother me at all… I know how to recognize most of the more dangerous spiders, I have a healthy respect for them, but they don’t scare me at all. Funny how that’s different for different people.

I can actually freeze up in certain situations in regards to bees. I once got out of a moving vehicle, moving at about 5-10 miles an hour in a large trailer park, because there was a bee in the vehicle.

I was driving.
