Sure, they're non-union -- now. But soon they'll twig to the fact that The Man has the power to hire, and he has the power to stomp. To live at the whim of some greedy arachnophobe who suffers your existence only so far as the fruits of your labor please him, always on the brink of sudden death by bug spray, is not to live at all.

There is safety -- and bargaining power -- in numbers.

We are legion.


I mean THEY. THEY are legion.

Also, what kind of loot do you think a spider would carry?
Most low level spiders seem to carry Silk, Poison Glands, or Arachnid Legs...there's a market out there for that (just ask Shakespeare's witches).  Sometimes the big, scary, heroic spiders carry better loot: some form of weapon or armor based on the spider's unique strengths.  I would think a Level 3 spider might have some good stuff on it.

Is it just me, or would anyone else like to see Rick Perry and Michelle Bachman have a battle royale over which one is REALLY the candidate chosen by God?

I waited too long to loot the body and it's gone now :(
I'll remember to check the next one.  
I apologize to catwritr, I did not know you were a spider.  Are you available for work?

Thanks for the tips 12, now I know how to hit on a spider...  Hey, wait!

Catwritr, pretty thing, I can lay you down on a bed of leaves and vibrate you until you can't talk or walk straight.  What do you say?

Brilliant!  Especially if it's covered by Fox News.  (Of course, I'd be equally interested in the coverage of Fox News's coverage of this battle royale.  How much can one "newscaster" drool in 15 minutes?)

But let your offer stand. You won't regret it.

I'll take catwritr and Wunderkind if they don't mind sharing; there's room for everyone on my bed of leaves and if we need more room I'll add more leaves. 

Thanks for the link Vespertine, I have new plans to surf that site all day.  The soap you posted looks fantastic, I could leave the hall nightlight off and find the bathroom by the soap in it ^_^

He lost his offer when he couldn't tell the difference between me and cat. That's just bad vibrations.

If they can't spend the time to check who said what why should I care what gender they are?
Furthermore, he is the accepted identifier when the sex of the subject is unknown. [/grammar lesson]

I do now! Not sure how to feel about this information. Happy? Sad?

I'm going to go with ambivalent.

I received news today that my mother has a slipped ruptured disc of the I4 and I5. She'll be having surgery on the 25th of this month but while her full recovery is certain how long that recovery will be is still unknown. This may turn out to be a very trying time as my mother is the bread-winner in a house with a four digit mortgage payment. If internet gets cut off of the necessity list, I'll let you guys know.

You could always start a fund on here.  :wink:

I know I'm just an "annoying newbie" here & don't really matter, but I hope the surgery goes swimmingly & that she makes a swift recovery!

Good luck.  Back surgery is pretty serious.  My mother has had DDD for almost two decades now and has been on heavy opiates for most of that time.  Several surgeries haven't really helped.

This is what I have (DDD), which led to temporary paralysis from the waist down. NOT fun.
 I now do something of a self - traction position to alleviate things when they get awry. In fact;
I use that technique for self spinal adjustment from the neck down to the sacrum. I can pretty much
'target' the areas (vertabrate) that feel like they are off by tensing certain muscles and relaxing others.
