Spiders?

From little on up, I was terrified of them. I used to have my brother kill it when I found one. Now that I'm married, I'm often called upon by my wife to save her. So, I have learned to not be so irrational about not liking them. Having said that, if one catches me by surprise, I still react of out fear.

Funny story. My Mom and dad have a shed out back of their house. They had a ground hog underneath it digging holes causing the shed to sink a bit. So, we were using a piece of chain to level out the ground underneath it. We got the chain through from one side to the other and used a sawing motion to even out the dirt. Well, when we got to the end, I was on my stomach using my arm to scoop out the excess dirt. One of the armfuls of dirt pulled out a spider as big around as a can of vegetables. I about shit myself. You've never seen someone go from horizontal to vertical in such a short time. LOL!
