NO!! It's not. I copy and pasted the wrong thing when I modified the post. It's my fault but I'm blaming the giant spider I'm keeping one (or two) eyes on at the moment...

But the fic is worth a read anyway, but it's not set in HS. I just made a mistake in my post.

Haha! Normally I would, as most of the spiders I come across could take down a small child or even me...however Huntsmans, while freaking enormous, as harmless to people, and we keep Spidie around because he eats all the mozzies and flies that get into the house. I just don't want him crawling across my hands or up my legs while I'm on the puter...I like to know where he is at all times which is sometimes hard because the little buggers are fast!

He's also a good indicator of when it's going to rain. Because he always comes inside, but he's been hanging around the past week for the opposite reason, 'cause it's so damn hot.

Yes. Unfortunately Spidie prefers to be upstairs in the bedrooms, but we still leave him alone. Apart from the occasional relocation.

Ah yes, poisonous spiders, when I can find them always become acquainted with the bottom of a thong. Though they don't usually come inside (You don't want to get bitten by one of those in your sleep!), so you're more likely to get bitten on the bum when you go to the dunny. Redbacks especially are fond of the thunderbox, they often live under the seat. I tend to kill most of the poisonous spiders in the laundry or toilet.

Yup. And that is a small one! Spidie is about one and a half his size. They can't jump, but they can run very fast. They're called Huntsmans cause of the way they run and hunt, I don't think they really build webs like normal spiders, they tend to stalk their prey and then pounce on them, like a freaking tiger or cheetah! As far as spiders go, I think they're almost cute. But still, I don't want to share a bed or my personal space with him.

These started off as two separate stories, one in Bella's POV the other in Edwards, on the blog they are combined into one story for ease of reading.

NFW (No Fu cking Way) is the sequel.  Oopsies. Not that one, haha! When I modified it I copied the wrong phrase to the wrong place. NFW is another one of Cara's fics, not related in any way... and set in HS! Hehe. I was posting this while keeping an eye on Spidie (AKA the giant huntsman spider currently living in my room) so I blame him...

Holy molly, that's one big spider pet! 

And it hangs around your bedrooms? Imagining it crawling on you while sleeping has all my hairs standing up right now. What's worse are those poisonous spiders that hangs around the toilet!! What if you were in mid pee or poop and you get bitten?! Do some people die instantly? I sure dont want to have my last act in this world to be in the toilet! Grossssss and scary!
Now savvyb will surely not go to australia, if she doesnt get bitten by a poisonous something, she'll die bec she didn't pee and poop during her visit there. 

I get my house sprayed every year so I don't get too many creepy-crawlies inside at all - no spiders, cockies, the occasional ants but usually just before rain. The worst is flies - they sneak in all the bloody time and I can't stand them!

I found a massive redback on my front deck (at my old house) a few years ago, and it was in a funny position so we couldn't squish it. I had run out of insect spray, so someone suggested spraying it with hairspray and then lighting it.

Some alcohol may have been consumed prior to this awesome suggestion.

Anyway, we sprayed the entire web - so the spider was stuck and couldn't run away (alcohol, remember!) and then lit it.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Don't try that! The spider was gone, but I had to get the front deck repainted!

Hahaha - that is exactly what my Hubby would do.  As much as he is afraid of them the idea of oining them appeals more.
