We had lots of small, baby spiders floating around our room.

Like around 20-30.

And I'm incredibly arachnophobic so it was like a nightmare ;A;

I sprayed around and they seem to be gone now, but...sjfks

that's so horrible dude

every little thing i see i worry is one floating around.

pazu take me to canada ;A;

/hides with kabby

sadly, it is now summer, and we do have spiders around now

but I recently de-spidered the perimeter, so hopefully there will not be many!

(much Raid and Lemon Pledge was used)

I despidered the house at the beginning of summer, but my family just went camping and I think my dad brought back some spider

egg sacks with him.

We found one in the car yesterday then we found...a jillion baby spiders last night, so um

screeeam

I'm going to Antarctica ;A;

I would just

the penguins will protect me from spiders

set the house on fire

SERIOUSLY sjfkjs

my first thought was like "OKAY, GOTTA MOVE"

which is really irrational

but seriously ugh

haha I do not blame you ;w;

we're going to fog the house tomorrow, hopefully that should take care of the worst of it

oh, good

i don't like using chemicals but i...don't see what else we can do when there's a freaking swarm D:

yeahh

how long is spider season in canada?

Hmm, that's tough to say. Maybe May/June to September?

We usually get snow in October, and it's been lasting through the spring lately

they usually start coming out around here in april and last until...hm, maybe november

so yeah, basically. moving to canada. this is good.

we also have pretty much nothing for poisonous ones in non-coastal provinces

I'll get a guard moose that will protect me from the spiders

so there's nothing that can hurt you, they're just... creepy fuckers

yeah, here they...can, but it's not exactly common

brown recluses are probably the big worry.

black widows too, but that's mostly a in-the-forest kind of thing

yeah, we have black widows in provinces near the coast ;w;

not so much around here

I actually seriously am thinking of moving to Canada someday, though the reasoning is more due to the gay rights issue.

Though I'm hoping that will be resolved in the US...relatively soon. Either way I'm going to have to move. :/ Indiana is a really

conservative state.

Ahh, yeah. Even conservative Alberta here has pretty much given up on trying to stop gay marriage, from what I've seen.

The main opposition gay people face is within their own families, generally.

Yeah. I actually am lucky enough to have a very accepting family, and they're probably the only reason why I don't want to leave.

But here they're trying to put it into the state constitution that gay marriage is banned, so things aren't going well on that front.

I guess best case scenario is a state nearby legalizes it and I move there? Maybe Illinois or something.

Perhaps

it makes me both amused and depressed to see how much opposition it still gets

I'm pretty sure society here hasn't collapsed yet because of it

I mean, unless I missed something

Yeah. I don't understand it, really.

People just have to have an enemy, I guess.

Yeah... especially in America, I find.

A lot of people in Indiana who are heavily conservative tend to be really combative about it.

Like anti-abortion people and anti-gay rights. They really just won't let it go without condemning everyone first.

/hugs on E

lmao I think even in Canada, we get more passionate about American politics than our own

"Oh, Harper's in charge? I don't like that guy but oh well, it's not like he'll destroy the country."

Haha. XD That's really interesting. I'd imagine it's like watching a train wreck in a lot of instances.

and then "THE CURRENT US PRESIDENT WILL DESTROY THE WORRRRLD"

Our president is the anti-christ. No big deal. Our last one was too. Clinton was probably accused of it as well.

America: EVERYONE IS THE ANTI-CHRIST

pretty much

do people in canada think it's the end of the world every couple of months too?

Hmm. I haven't seen anyone getting crazy about it here, but there probably are a few gullible whackos.

I think overall, it's less common and less socially acceptable to be a vocal, restrictive Evangelical or Fundamentalist Christian

in Canada or Europe than in the US.

It's still pretty socially acceptable here for a variety of reasons.

but NOT every religious person is like that by a long shot.

Yeah, I actually come from a pretty religious family and they're all accepting of Evee and I, so I know that it's not every religious

individual.

The main reason it drives me crazy is because there are at least three different protest spots by my home that are settled at almost every

day. They hold up signs of fetuses post-abortion or anti-gay signs or...any other hateful thing you can imagine.

woooow.

we had like... a one-person protest like that

The last time Westboro was here they declined to show them on the news and instead showed a VFW bake sale that was held

I almost felt bad for her, it looked kind of sad lmao

in specific opposition to the protest.

Yeah, I was glad they didn't get much press.

lmao I remember the WBC threatened to come here once and we were all !??!?!

but the canceled

...they not the

fff XD

We just have a few women's health centers nearby here and a lot of people are like "Planned Parenthood? THE DEVIL! /grabs a picket sign"

It's...really gross.

wooow

I always thought the news just showed rare extreme examples

No, it's pretty much every day at this clinic down the street.

thaaat's pretty terrible

especially considering they do a lot of things for sexual health that aren't even related to abortion

Seriously.

taking care of your body!? THE DEVIL!

When I was about 18 I was going to one to get a yearly done and they stopped by car and begged me not to abort.

They wouldn't take "I'm not pregnant" for an answer.

w o w

my* not by

Since then I've started going to a place south of here. Because screw that.
