Did You Ever

#1 Postby Janice » Sat May 13, 2006 2:51 pm

Did you ever walk into a huge spider net and came face to face with a huge spider on you?

Did you ever step on a snake or rat, not seeing it?

Did you ever have a shark/alligator close to you in the waters and not see it?

Ever walk thru the mountains and come face to face with a bear or wolf?

Hey, if not, you have not lived :grrr:

Living in western pennsylvania growing up as a kid, we lived in a rather rural area. Many times in the morning I remember hearing my dad yelling and honking the horn outside going to work cause there were bear outside. Sometimes we would find garbage scattered all over the place and my dad at first blamed this on the dogs but, it wasn't cause one day he found a couple of bear rummiging through out garbage. Anyway yeah one mornign we got up to go to school and unfortunately we couldn't get down the driveway because of a mother bear and her cubs were wandering around outside the house.

No to all of the above; but I was late for school once because there was a moose at the end of our driveway that wasn't in any hurry to move.

Yes, one of those banana spiders

No, but i've come close to snakes before

I wasn't in the water but when we've gone crabbing there's usually alligators nearby waiting for the turkey necks bait.

No, no mountains in coastal Louisiana!

The closest I came to anything was probably a strange dog growling and coming closer to me. I got scared a few times but always came out ok.

Nearly stepped on a snake a few years ago...in my bathtub :eek: When I was about 14 my parents and I went to West Virginia one winter; we took a walk in the snow and on our way back to the car we saw a set of tracks in the snow that dad identified as bear tracks.Guess not all bears hibernate in the winter :lol: We walked back to out car quickly and quietly and got the hell out of there.

I walked into a spider web once between trees, a few hours later the spider crawled up the back of my neck. I was deadly terrified.

No.

I'm not sure, we were in Daytona Beach, Florida during that New Smyrna Beach shark attacks. There was warnings posted not to go in the water, but we did.

I come face to face with foxes and kyotes in my neighbour.
