That's scary. We have them under the water meter, but since we're not on city water any more, we never open it up.

I don't worry so much for myself because I know to be careful of them and I'm not out there much, but there are a lot of kids in the building next door and they walk by there all the time and play outside. I've told their folks about the spiders and the kids too so I just hope they're careful. A Black Widow's bite isn't life-threatening for a full-grown adult unless you've got a special sensitivity to them, but kids can become really sick --- as Jen's experience attests.

If anyone knows anything about the Treo phone I linked, I'd love to hear it before I take the plunge in a couple of weeks.

We went to the play Saturday night with 5 other people and on to dinner afterward. Then, we went on down to the jazz festival (outdoors) and it was hotter than hell...I had on a skirt and a boatneck white cotton sweater which evidently was a horrid idea.

I got so hot and started feeling like I was going to faint...my muscles started aching and everyone was shocked at how red my face was...my hair was sopping wet. I never sweat but my hair became drenched and Keoni went to get the car, wouldn't even let me walk to it.. and we came home.

I was sick all night and into yesterday. I talked to a friend who went down there later and she said people weredropping like flies. Glad I escaped!

oh dear...that's awful. hope you drank lots of water.

16656. judithathome - 9/19/2005 8:40:43 PM

I did...that's why it was so surprising. They were selling water for $2 a bottle and we blew $6 on it and still I got sick. It was brutal.

16657. arkymalarky - 9/19/2005 9:53:00 PM

My lands, Judith, that's awful.

16658. Jenerator - 9/19/2005 11:01:21 PM

Yep, that bite along with the red, swollen skin looks just like what I had on the back of my neck!

It worked its way down through my entire body in zones. At the end of it all, my feet were swollen and red.

That's why I absolutely hate spiders. I kill them all if I see them - even the tiny ones, because, well, you just never know.

Even garden spiders freak me out. I know they're supposed to be good for the environment, but I kill them, too.

You're approaching the big day, Jen. How do you feel?

16660. Jenerator - 9/19/2005 11:18:14 PM

I feel enormous. ;-)


I had to come in to work today because I still had/have so much to do. Having to plan every day for four subjects isn't easy.

I really wanted a pedicure. Maybe tomorrow. My husband wants to stay around the house tonight. I want a steak!

16661. judithathome - 9/20/2005 12:24:05 AM

Arky, I don't kniow anything about that computer but I knw someone who has a phone made by that company and they love it.

Jen, when are you going into the hospital? I'd advise the pedicure only because when I broke my leg, I really needed one and regretted I hadn't had one for weeks after. Keoni finally painted my toenails and he did a great job.

16662. arkymalarky - 9/20/2005 12:35:29 AM

It is a phone, Judith, so it's just what I wanted to hear!

The computer I got came in today--a Dell Inspiron 6000. I LOVE it.

16663. judithathome - 9/20/2005 2:35:11 AM

Ooops, that's what I get for not checking out your link! I thought is was a computer and I know nothing about those so I didn't look. :-(

I do know that Malibu loves his Dell!

16664. judithathome - 9/20/2005 2:36:04 AM

And I see now you DID say it was a phone. Duh.

16665. judithathome - 9/20/2005 2:49:23 AM

Okay....

16666. judithathome - 9/20/2005 2:49:36 AM

I want this number!

16667. Macnas - 9/20/2005 8:22:22 AM

You got it.

16668. Magoseph - 9/20/2005 11:48:22 AM
