crawly
So I was pulling out of the parking lot at work, and swung around to pick up the mail. I opened the door, and dropped several letters into my lap. That's when the ants scurried everywhere. I couldn't get my door open and get the mail out of my lap and car quickly enough. They were all over! I looked into the mailbox, and they are building a mansion in the back. I keep waiting for them to walk into the shop to order some cabinets.
Long story short - I feel crawly. It's a good thing I know some people in the ant-killing business...

I have a wooley black and white spider that lives in the back of mine. I think he's 10th generation because he's been there since I was litte.
Ants are harmless. And best covered in chocolate...
EWWWW...Hey Carroll...ask Martha and Rachael about MY ant experience...IN THE SMOKE DETECTOR AND LAYING EGGS!! Rich opened the detector and they spilled all over the floor,ughhh, I'M all crawly now, see what you started!
oh yeah well we have ants all over our counter! Now I'm ALL CRAWLY!
let me tell you about my mailbox - there are NO crawly creepy things living there... None!
Well, let me tell you! Back when I was a kid, not only did we have ants on our counters but we had roaches in the mailbox. After the five mile hike to and from school each day, dad would make us clean out the mailbox AND get rid of the ants...
HA! We dreamed of being able to go to school...
Nothing but a bunch of whiners...
Your past tribulations are due to either:
1) God punishing you for your disobedience, or
2) God testing you to help build up your wimpy character.
Either way, you deserved it all. Get over it and on with your life. And here's to suffering! Praise God!
Signed,

P.S. Now let me tell you how I had to get up at 4 each morning to milk the cows during a western NY winter when 10 degrees was considered balmy...
you should try delivering mail! i get spiders in my car all day long. i even got in my car one morning to find a huge web between my mirror and steering wheel T
> My mother has a stick for occasions such as this.
Well I know one girl with a bad attitude that she didn't use it enough on...
I have one word for all of you - Waaah!
I grew up with tarantulas, scorpions, and bullet ants (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_Ant for more on these lovely creatures), so I don't want to hear any whining about itty bitty spiders or teensy red ants.
Actually, some insects are rather tasty, so I guess I can't complain about my childhood too much. I recall a yellowish ant back home that had a nice bitter/salty flavor, and tarantulas taste like shrimp. Oh, and I never walked uphill to school both ways in the snow, either.
wow,J, you had it easy...I too lived in a third world country but I had to hike for miles to get to the nearest town- in 130 degree weather. I had to fight through hordes of ants, fire ants, giant black ants (3 inches long-NK). The spiders weren't too bad though...
Ever heard of the "cobblers children have no shoes??" Yeah, same with Pest Controlers childrens/wives. We seem to be the ones with mice, snakes and huge spiders in our house. Why else would we have so many cats.
