It's not whether the spiders bite or not , are big or small... it's that they ARE!!!!

DP Colin's Sister-in-lay just picks up the spiders in her hand. No way can I do it. These spiders are often called Tarantulas but are of course not.

My nephew is working with vegetation regeneration programmes in Northern NSW. Every day he is in contact with spiders (of the funnel web very nasty kind) and snakes.  He also has to deal with leeches and ticks every day!  He loves his work!

I'm more in line with Jim Stafford's song lyrics!

You have to stroke it, like you'd stroke a cat to get it to purr.

 You have to stick your head in the shark's mouth.....



actually that ( to me) would probably be the lesser of two evils!!!

The chance of being attacked by a shark is so remote.

(of course not going in the water helps).

Australia is NOT Steve Irwin's view!

Back in my college days... I was home alone and talking to my boyfriend, who lived about 25 miles away,  on the telephone.


I flopped down on my bed and suddenly inches from my face was a giant....





daddy long legs










I screamed.  I threw the phone on the floor.  I ran outside and sat on the front step









My boyfriend (who knew I was home alone)  leaped in his car and must have broken several speed limits and other traffic laws because he was at my house within 20 minutes.


He of course had visions of me being murdered, he was most displeased to ;learn he had risked life and limb to save me froma daddy longlegs...

"It's not even a real spider" he complained



He did go and get it  and remove it from the premises though

This might be a stupid question. But DR Jane, don't you have a bigger food processor?  I can't even picture how small yours must be to only make 3 cookies. What about using egg beaters?

My new favorite kitchen utensil is my little hand held mixer. I"m not sure what you call them. But they just have one blade. And you pulse to get things blended. It's awesome.
