You and I must be kindred spirits Jan. Nobody has said girl power to me in years. I love it!
I hate spiders as much as I hate snakes. I have the same reaction to spiders that some women have to mice. When we lived in North Carolina, we had a pecan tree. I was out one day with a cane fishing pole knocking pecans out of the tree when I felt something land on my head. It started moving. I started doing the dance of a woman possessed! It fell off my head and onto the ground and I almost had a heart attach. It was the size of a tarantula, had flesh on its legs and had fangs. I kid you not. It reminded me of something out of a horror movie. I looked it up online. It is called a Carolina Wolf Spider. Apparently it also has glow in the dark eyes and stalks its prey at night. Its bite is said to hurt like the sting of a wasp. I found a video on YouTube to show you. By the way, the guy in this video must have trouble finding a girlfriend.
