strange things you and wife are into

[T77911S]

first, if it is sexual, talk to me off line.

there is a spider on our front porch that has been there for a long time now.
it started off as we would mess up his web and he would rebuild it in the same area.
now it has turned into a fascination of watching him build it and catch food.
we have been trying to see how it gets it web strung from the edge of the roof down to one plant and over to another plant.

a few years ago there was one of those banana spiders by the garage door. we just left it because it was not in our way,. then it turned into watching him get bigger and bigger until he died.

Spiders build new webs everyday. Even if you didn't mess it up she would make a new one. I watch the spiders at my house all the time. The bigger the spider the better. Except in my boat, they make a mess that is hard to clean and get rid of. Once the little once hatch then you have a real problem, thousands and they hide in every nook and cranny.

I’ve done the same thing before. It is especaiily entertaining to have one near a porch light so you can have the light on at night to attract bugs and watch from inside. One vacation in the woods we spent about 3 hours watching the spider catch bugs.

On our porch.

Before kids my wife and I collected Snow Village houses.

Don't tell anyone about this please.

Somewhat related to the spider story above, years ago when we lived in Dallas TX, we had one of those bug zappers just outside the back door for the patio. It ran every night. We noticed a frog started showing up nightly. He just sat underneath the zapper waiting for dinner to drop from the sky every night. He got big - very quickly!

On the "strange" things list- we've got a small wooden box (4x6) with a tile top that has a painting of a chicken sitting on a nest. Over the years, it's been kept in a kitchen drawer - and every time someone finds something small around the house that is somewhat "undefined" - we put it in the "chicken box." It's grown to quite a collection of miscellaneous hardware - screws, nails, bolts, nuts, little pieces of plastic, some odd keys that we don't know what locks or doors they open, etc. The intent was to keep things that we might realize later what they belonged to, but the box seems to never get cleaned out...

Game Camera's...my GF has like 8 of them and has it down to a science where to put them to find the best critters. She's got me into it. I'd never thought too much about them, just never used them the way I hunt.

She basically has a whole circuit up in the woods that every two weeks we get on the ATV's, spend the day in the hills switching out the memory cards. Then we spend a evening going through the pictures so she can save her favorites. Her favorites are the big cats so when she gets a picture of one she lights up like a kid on Christmas. Its a obsession for her at this point. She works in a office eight hours a day and her office has no windows so I can understand the escape.

She made me promise not to hunt her specific favorites critters. But it still works out in that we usually both fill our deer and elk tags.-WW

We had a toad that learned the lights along our sidewalk through the garden attracted bugs. Mostly June bugs. He grew a lot in the summer. I mentioned to my mom how the toad left toad turds everywhere that were mostly the wings of the June Bugs. She then begged me to go retrieve several of them and told me they are called a Toad spool, not a turd. I brought her three large spools, and she took them to the OKC zoo. They sprayed some type of preservative spray and mounted them on pins in the reptile exhibit in a display case about the Bufo Americanus.

A year later we put in a koi pond on spring. We wanted to let it grow some alga before we put in some koi. The toads found it right away and we had a toad orgy in the pond. And zillions of tadpoles. Every night as the baby toads came up into the garden we would gather up a hundred or so, and I took them to a local creek where thay had a better chance of finding food. I would sing "Born Free" as I released them. My wife and I transplanted a few hundred baby toads. Once we put in the koi, they ate the eggs and tadpoles and now we just get two or three baby toads per year that I see.

yea with this crowd it is a major risk but thought it was a bit funny since we are watching a spider of all things.

I just thought it was funny that the wife I kept running out side last night to see what it was doing and we also sit on the couch and talk and watch the spider.


we had a bay turtle years ago that we caught and would turn the lights out except on the tank and sit there and watch him.

exciting lives we live I know,

we also like to take a walk down to the ditch and shoot snakes....with the 9mm

We do that too, but a 4x6 box would fill up in a week around here.

I've got a spider that lives in the bathroom. I've named him Spidey because he has an uncanny resemblance to the Marvel comic character -don't quite know what it is...

Anyway guests are told to be careful of my pet spider. He's only about 8 or 10mm long so doesn't take much looking after.

This guy was in our back garden. Appropriately enough, it is called a garden spider.

He was only there for a few days before a bird got him or the skinks. We used to have a lot more spiders in the yard. The blue tailed skinks seem to like spiders.
