    Those poor cats get spooked by those cucumbers… 😂

    The wife and I have reached a peace deal with spiders. She knows I leave them in the house, I just need to make sure she doesn’t see them.

    My coworker and I have both been ensuring spiders get moved out of high human traffic areas.

      Excellent!
      There’s also the fact that most spiders have mouth-parts completely incapable of breaking human skin, so a little diagram or example of such might be worth finding and sharing with the wife?

      Now, whoever’s reading may hate me for this, so go ahead and hate, but there’s some interesting ideas here I wasn’t aware of: (includes a boatload of high-quality supporting links, not unlike a good Wikipedia entry)

        This seems to be what she falls under. 😅

        She understands they are good, she just does not wish to knowingly share space with them due to her mind categorizing them as creepy-crawlies.

        Much like with most of my other friends, she’s happy I have them, but she wishes to spend no time with them. 😂

          And it’s good to have friends like that, yeah?

          As in, those able to entertain competing ideas in their heads without cracking up, or painting you as the weirdo, etc.

          Hmm, question-- how much do / does your wife and friend-group get impacted by your animal-focused life? Do they ‘catch the fever’ to any certain extent? Do they follow your online work on the Fediverse or wherever else…?
