I tried shaming myself, but never-the-less everytime I'm surprised/confronted by an insect--especially those Giant House Spiders here in the Pacific Northwest that creep out of the cracks of the universe to breed in the fall--my reaction is predictable and LOUD. My husband is also my appointed "bug-killer."<BR/><BR/>BonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897433.post-50964837589838544882007-02-24T11:09:00.000-05:002007-02-24T11:09:00.000-05:00Barbara,This is so beautifully written.

It was really enjoyable to see how you play with language.<BR/><BR/>Photographers say that the true subject of a photograph is the photographer. In the same way, for me, this is about you, and your ability to bring humor to your relationships with life (bugs, Eric, your exterminator, and your kids).<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for such a fun read.<BR/><BR/>KimKim Mosleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17658600791743162004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897433.post-57454002153652973512007-02-22T16:46:00.000-05:002007-02-22T16:46:00.000-05:00I am so impressed with how much you know about all...I am so impressed with how much you know about all these creatures. All I can manage is to scream, call for help, and lump them all together in the icky category! You certainly gave me an appreciation of your curiousity--and I love that when necessary, calling Eric is the appropriate response! Fun one!

I remember very well how bothered you were by bugs,and often wondered if you would ever grow out of that fear. You wrote so well about your experiences, that I could see and feel just what you were seeing and feeling. Good job.<BR/>HHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897433.post-7111437173811604842007-02-19T04:00:00.000-05:002007-02-19T04:00:00.000-05:00your story takes me right back to the sweltering s...your story takes me right back to the sweltering summers of my childhood in southern nevada, when the cicadas would fill the trees and buzz obnoxiously each afternoon. if you dared to walk under a tree while the roar was in full force, the impolite bugs would reward you with shower of what I can only imagine was insect pee. had I only known then that there was such a thing as cicada killing wasps, I would have had you ship me a few dozen.
