Nicole- that could have been me. I try to be rational about spiders but it just doesn't work.

Siegmar catches them under a glass and releases them outside: one of the reasons I need a man in my household We would never kill them because around here they are useful.

These days I stepped on a big nasty dead one (it was dead before I stepped) that was lying on the floor in the living room. I felt there was something under my foot, thought it was a cat toy and looked down: *jumps higher than she ever expected to jump and squeeks at high volume*
