Best state in the U.S. (barring some really stupid gun laws). Okay I don't care for cane spiders either...but other than that I love Hawaii.
Can't stand them cane spiders either.... but have had 3 about the size of your fist that I caught as pets for my daughter.... trying to teach her not to be afraid of bugs.... creeped me out to catch them..... fed them roaches and crickets and mealworms..... now we have a centipede.... about 8 inches long.... lovely.... she likes them.... sheesh... what a father will do for his daughter.....
Now that's a devoted father bear...yech!!! I'm not afraid of spiders...but they are ugly!!! (cane spiders that is). Glad your daughter likes them. Are you sure she is not related to my little sister? She had a pet tarantula - lost it in dads Mazda RX-7 one time.
Yuck!!!!.... I hate those big spiders!!!! What's really the pits is catching those big 747 cockroaches at night to feed these little beasties! ugh! A tarantula in the RX-7..... !!!!! bet dad was real happy....
Well you know I never did ask him about that...mostly because my sister is 17 years younger than me Figured if he wanted to get her things like that when she was 16 he should be prepared to accept that she was at the time a scatterbrained semi-blonde. Amazing that she has since turned out to be smart...book smart (okay she at least married a marine so she has some other smarts too). She's now studying for her Masters Degree down in San Diego. If she works it right she'll be a Navy Officer (she used to be in the Army). Talk about confused...hmmm, dang that's exactly what dad did too.
