That's your opinion, NOT a fact, and irregardless is not a word.

Thank you CB, that happens to be one of my "pet" peeves (no pun intended) same thing when I hear someone say they are trying to "unloosen" a jar or "could care less"

Mercy, you would tear your hair out around my family. Not only do they say they could care less (which I use too), they "unloosen" a jar and "unthaw" frozen things!

Unloosen? I think part of my brain just leaked out my ear.

Then again, I suffer from foot-in-mouth disease pretty badly sometimes, perhaps the occasional grammar mishap would be preferable.

Oh...once I posted here that I was a "grammer" Nazi. I almost died laughing when someone pointed THAT out to me. *facepalm*

Does having no idea what you are talking about mean that creepy crawlies don't bother me??? or am I just unobservant

I think the expression "creepy crawly" is kind of cute in a little kid way. It's gentle. It sure beats "gross and disgusting"

I'm mostly against it because how are you supose to know if its a snake or a spider?

What if the person(s) LOVE snakes, but fear spiders, they'll never know if its safe to click on the link or not.

If the warning said "POTD is a Snake" then people who fear snakes wouldn't click on it & the same for spider.

If I posted a photo of Lilly I would be bumbed with the creepy crawlie warning, as I don't think she creepy... But giving a warning shes a spider is cool with me. Its just the wording I don't like... Kinda takes the fun out of things.

But like I said I understand peoples fears. When I get Lilly back, I have to put her into my closet when Karen comes over, as she will not go anywhere, where she can see a big spider. Shes fine knowing Lilly is locked up & out of sight. I'm ok with it too.

My buddy James is scared of spiders, but only of they touch him. He wants to get to know Lilly better & understand their movements better, which is what scars him
