VM, I hope your arm gets better. Goto the ER if you have too, you dont want that togo septic on you.

Thank you, my arm is beginning to look better, but I am still rather sick. Here is a site about the Hobo spider (also known as the aggressive house spider) www.hobospider.org Most of the info. is fairly accurate. But some of it could be updated as far as when the Hobo enters homes

necrotic arachnidism, which is almost identical to the local effects produced by brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa, poisoning

The brown recluse is very common here in South Florida. When bit by one, its a trip to the ER for anti-biotics.

Yes, yes I do. Now excuse me, I need to check the nightly biz reports from PHL, EWR, and JFK.

A few years ago when I got my first Hobo bite I mistook it for a mosquito bite. But then my forearm swelled to twice the size. I had to get antibiotics that time. Now if I notice a bite I put the bite cream on right away. That stops the bite area from progressing, but you still get rather sick. We also have Brown Recluse spiders. But they are less prominent here and not as aggressive as the Hobo. But I understand the Recluse bite is very dangerous

cuban cigars, classic cars, cuban food, yeah!!!

an excellent flight plan Janet.

and some wonder why why theres extensive airliner security scrutiny.... its Janet fault and her planned diversion of our flight to... havana. I had had the jet fueled to reach Paris.

Cool! I've always wanted to visit Cuba. I hear they have some really good Cafes here 

Miguel, Carlos, Juanita, Carmen and their little ones just showed up in their '59 Chevy*.

They HIGHLY suggest staying in the States. In fact Carlos, if I understand his English correctly, is saying "you gringos are stupid. Stay where you have food, amigo."

* The Coast Guard intercepted a vintage Chevy a few years back. Yes an actually Chevy from the pre-JFK adminstration. The guys rigged it to not only FLOAT. But to operate as a boat over 90 miles of open water. It was the second time they had made it to within sight of shore. They sent these guys back? Excuse me, give em damn scholarships to become engineers!!!

Well, OK, I'm concerned about loosing my left arm to multiple spider bites and all Tekla and Mister could do is give me a bad time 

Actually, I told you to go to the ER.

Quote from: Mister on June 07, 2009, 07:38:21 PM

Well, OK. I apologize to both of you. I probably overreacted because I wasn't feeling well and may have missed that. The Hobo spider bite can have quite an adverse effect. Especially when your afraid to go to sleep. Luckily my arm is beginning to look better and the head ache, dizziness, confused feeling and general irritability is dissipating also. Friends?

Ahh, how sweet they kissed and made up.

Which is not easy with a three headed gummy bear  But I think Tekla is still brooding
