(yeah, a little more info than some peope want to hear, but I have to set the stage here.) I took care of my need. I washed my hands. I brushed my hair standing in front of the toilet because the mirror is to the side of it. I went to leave and before I shut the light out, I checked to make sure I put the seat down. Habits and all. AND THEN! I almost had a heart-attack. On the floor, right by the base of the toilet where I had just been sitting/standing was a spider as big as the palm of my hand. (with all it's hairy ugly legs spread out.) I'm scared to death of spiders. Except daddy-long-legs. They are kinda cute. Like that one in Honey I Shrunk the Kids or whichever movie that was. Anyway. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move. For two full minutes, though it seemed like forever, we stared each other down. I didn't know what to do. I had nothing with a long enough handle to kill it with. I certainly wasn't getting any closer than 10 feet to it. And then I remembered the can of aerosol toilet bowl cleaner! Of course I had to leave the doorway to get it, and I was afraid to take my eyes off it, for fear it would scurry back to whence it came. But finally I managed to go to the other room and get it, and thankfully it was still there when I got back ... and then I dowsed it! It curled up into this little tiny ball and died. And I DON'T CARE! They bite! And I don't want aything that big and ugly in my house! I know they eat pests, but they freak me out. Stay outside, that's fine, but don't enter the castle. So, sorry to you spider-fans, but one of your furry friends just bit the dust. Except now I'm constantly looking down at my feet and into dark corners ....
