Nice story! I don't do spiders. We have seen a few creepy ones around here and one tarantula, but only once! I don't think I could have squashed it with a frying pan... Yikes!!

I have yet to see a tarantula in person, but I now have a reputation of acting by instinct and kind of over-killing bugs when they take me by surprise. This idea came to me after we went to a wedding and a spider ran across the table toward the person sitting next to me - I picked up a fork and hit the spider a lot harder than I needed to and made everyone at the table jump. This has left a vivid mental image in my memory of the fork with all the spider's legs sticking out around the edges. It would be totally like me to squash a tarantula with a frying pan and leave a crater in the table. Hence Martha's response.
