If crickets aren't captive bred, they can carry many parasites and other microorganisms. Crickets are very VERY dirty-- I have to clean their habitat cube EVERY DAY. They shit all over the place, it's really really grody. They SOOO remind me of cockroaches, and it really creeps me out every time I have to get one out for my spiders! Crickets are really creepy. I dread having any feeder crickets escape into my house-- I would not be able to sleep at night. I'd have to turn loose one of the spiders to have any piece of mind!! P.S. Finny, it's absolutely NO use..my phobia is very deep seated, and it comes from a few experiences that I do not ever want to repeat!! I wasn't ALWAYS scared of the water, but a few things have happened to turn my heart. The sight of a shark, even in an aquarium, makes my hair stand straight on end. I think my reaction to them is more a relenquishing of my invincibility, than a fear..the knowledge that I don't stand a CHANCE against a shark or other large or socially-organized aquatic creature in its own element. Unfortunately, my experience of the ocean and lakes has not been anything like what you see on The Little Mermaid! I've almost been eaten alive by nesting male bluegill (honest!), bumped by something LARGE and UNSEEN while wading out on a sandbar in Florida in the middle of the night in the ocean, covered in leeches, tangled in seaweed and almost drowned, and THEN there was the snapping turtle incident..I won't even go into the details of that one, it was TOO weird to have really happened. I'm quite happy to observe water crathurs from a glass bottom boat, or at Sea World!! -
Ok, now I have to confess that I am one of those weird people who doesn't swim in lakes or oceans. I am deathly afraid of sharing water with things that are not people!! On the other hand, I have one new spider already, and two new ones being shipped from California. I am also getting a mantis, a female Pseudoharpax virescens, with that shipment. The cricket raising is going ok, so far..I still say crickets are SO gross!!! I would rather lay in a vat full of spiders, than one full of crickets!

Fashion Violations
jynxxxedangel replied to Homicidalheathen's topic in Fashion, Beauty and Costume.
Who else HATES capri pants? They look like what we used to call 'highwaters' down south (which meant your folks were too poor to buy pants that fit you for the schoolyear)! Yes, I had to wear them, sometimes, and I dreaded the teasing from the kids who were more well-off than we were.. *LMAO* I also hate already-distressed (holey) jeans that cost 150 bucks off the rack. Christ! I fought every DAY in school because I got picked on for being poor. It actually interfered with my EDUCATION! Now rich fecks want to look like poor kids. It makes me SICK. Yes, I have some emotional baggage concerning fashion! And what's that thing with the young girls wearing the short stretchy skirt that doesn't even cover their butt with JEANS (it looks like a long shirt tail hanging out)? Who's the idiot that started that fad?? P.S. I also dislike when people who have never worked a construction job in their LIVES wear Carhartt's, ESPECIALLY when they leave the f***ing TAGS on.. How ridiculous! The SAME goes for people who wear licensed sports gear and leave the tags on..how TACKY can you GET?? Oh, and ALSO, when gentlemen of colour wear their fingernails LONG.. GROSSSSSS!! Cut your NAILS, dude-- PLEASE!!! -
I used to be afraid of spiders too, but not anymore-- I have become fascinated with them! They are one of the most interesting and adaptable creatures on the planet..
BTW, welcome to DGN!

DUDE!!!
Tell me you're going on the camping trip!!
We gotta go hiking together! :D

Hahahaha, no, but I WISH I was a middle-school science teacher! Children are MUCH easier to deal with than drunken, grown men!

Pictures That Describe How You Feel
jynxxxedangel replied to phee's topic in Pictures, Photography and Art
Most of the pictures here describe how I feel (aside from the spider ones-- I love them!), deep within my subconscious.. Joshua Hoffine is truly incredible. http://www.soothbrush.com/children-fear-photography/ -
I absolutely LOVE the 'Steampunk' genre, it goes very well with my taste for 'shabby chic'! I think I was Steampunk before the colloquialism was even coined.. Anyone who is into Steampunk things, go to http://etsy.com, and search the keyphrase, 'steampunk'-- lots of great jewelry, costume items, and art will come up..

Does anyone else here have an interest in true spiders, tarantulas, solfugids, and mantids? Calling all bug freeks!! :D I need to find a good, CLOSE, REPUTABLE breeder! Who has s'lings or nymphs to sell or trade for??? On my wishlish are: Phidippus audax (I need two mature females, I have an immature male already, as you can see), Phidippus regius (mature female and male), Lyssomanes viridis (mature female and male), Avicularia versicolor (spiderling, doesn't have to be sexed), Peucetia viridans (mature female), and Metasolpuga picta (mature female). If ANYONE has these critters, I would love to get together and talk pidgin!!! I hope I'm not the only spider-lover here!

Did you send me a PM? I got an e-mail notification, but the message is non-existant! Verrrrry strange.. :\

OMFG I've been SO busy! I finally got a CAR today..I should be able to start coming out to CC pretty soon!
-
Hey Finny..I'm not sure what I'm doing this weekend, yet..If there's a chance I can get out to CC, I would love to come out!
BTW, you are CRAZY getting in the water with all those sharks!! People think I'M nuts for chasing around spiders and bugs all summer, but I think you take the cake!!

Oh yeah..I think I may have found a job..it's all the way over in Waterford, but at least it's SOMETHING! Hopefully, one of these landscaping companies I applied to calls me before spring. I'd rather do that, than work in a restaurant!
P.S. I think my ex who's stationed in Germany is going to ask me to marry him tomorrow, before he gets shipped off to Kuwait..If I sa
