if he scurried fast he'd be scary as hell. I hate it when spiders move fast and you lose rack of 'em.
I had to fight the urge to swat that nasty little thing off my computer screen! Barb, last night I was in bed reading when I happened to see something moving out of the corner of my eye. It was a very small lizard....about the size of your little finger. Of course, I didn't care how darned small he was, I just wanted him gone. But, as soon as he saw/felt me coming....he scurried off as fast as he could. I lost track of him behind my entertainment center. So, now I have no idea where he is hiding. Hopefully, he'll find the way out same as he found his way in. At least that's what I keep telling myself. I don't like spiders, snakes, or lizards!!
What'd really be cool is if the spider would bite the cursor.
