I moved suburbs a year and a half ago. We used to get huntsman spiders occasionally. There was always at least one around. (I used to call them Harry. occasionally we'd get another and I would call them Barry. So sometimes Barry and Harry cruising around.) Its been a year and a half and no Harry or Barry. We get dandy long leg spiders, but they are meh.

We are not allowed pets. There is a cat that we pat down the road occasionally but I liked having huntsman spiders around to walk past and see where they were and say "G'day Harry"

So...how do I fill this void?

I knew it, you're growing soft over the years.  :laugh:

  Why aren't you getting any huntsmen around anymore?  Is someone in the neighborhood using
  the services of an exterminator?  Can you find some huntsmen elsewhere and bring them home?

 
  Have you considered the possibility that you might be ... too Australian?  :laugh:

It is the strangest thing.
I think different spiders have different haunts. I saw a redback here and it was the first one I had seen for literally over a decade but they are everywhere in Western Australia.
Huntsman Spiders are usually not that feisty. I like walking past and seeing them motionless somewhere and saying "G'day Harry" No need to feed, pet or bug them. Ultimate low maintenance pet.

Quite a bit easier to live with than a Funnel Web Spider!  From all that I heard!

I would agree with that!   I wouldn't fancy a trip to the ER for anti-venom treatments!

I am having a problem with my dishes.

It seems that every time I wash them or put them in the dishwasher, I take them out and used them again. This results in my having to wash them again.

I'm getting very frustrated. What should I do?

Hello CBC

I do not have a shotgun but i think the slingshot will do brilliantly. but for some reason i anticipate that my partner will be upset. i plan to invite her to use her slingshot as well, but i think she doesn't know where she put hers. i'm not sure i should buy a shotgun. wouldn't a hunting rifle be better? then i could hunt the fat mouse i found in my room last night with only minimal damage to the house.

I'm wondering if I should start a Weeble advice and fortune telling thread. The wobble could give us deep and profound insights into the meanings of our lives!

On the other hand she could have one of those fortune telling things the girls used to play with and just say yes, no, maybe or ask later. Or maybe she just wants to post in peace without provocation. Maybe we shouldn't bother her.

Ahh, but - the Weeble of Fortune! how could I turn that down?

I'm torn! What should I do?

  I'll do what I can!  But buyer beware:  You're seeking prophecy from a plastic egg.  :laugh:

Where should we put the CBC birthday week celebration thread? I'm torn between Games and Free for All.
