The Womper Woom OR You Might Be A Modwomper

[KattMamma]

I know the feeling on the Scorpions, wife found this one under a chest in the living room March 8th, 2014 when she was cleaning.

Yikes! More nightmarish critters... (shudder)

I'd much rather find one like that, then the smaller neon colored ones

NEON? These creepy things come in neon colors? Great....

If you ever need some coils Kat and haven't worked your way up to it let me know.

Thank you Reign! That's so very nice of you! Hopefully I'll just knuckle down and do it, but I did consider buying premade...

If ya want fun coils, but don't have fun making them.....

I had looked at some on fasttech, but they didn't look anything like these lol! These are almost as scary to me as the scorpions... bookmarked it though, cuz I might be feeling more adventurous later lol ... thanks!

Saw a pic of one of these last night (coconut crab - friggin' scary huge!) and I'm so glad we don't have them in Texas...

My scorpion looked like this and was just over 3 inches long (which is about the biggest I've ever seen around here)

I wished we had some of them big ol crabs here!

LOL, I was thinking the same thing ...

Never heard of neon, but I do know they say that scorpions fluoresce under black light.

Ultraviolet or black light, I bought a mega ultraviolet flashlight to search the house for more (and this one did glow under the light), didn't find any others. Bad thing is I own a pest control company, and this was IN MY HOUSE, wife was not happy to say the least.

I knew that scorpions were in the southwest, but I never knew that they could also be found in Florida.

No scorpions in Central KY.

I've seen a few here in GA. Platform shoes are good to smack them with.

In NY the worst bugs we need to worry about is ticks with their Lyme disease.

No scorpions up here in New York, but the wolf spiders can get rather menacing.

Heh... wolf spiders aren't so bad. I once saw a wood spider -- indoors! -- as big as a man's hand -- a LARGE man's hand. It took my breath away so badly I couldn't even scream -- sorta like the big drops on roller coasters.

To be honest I'm not sure if I'm referring to wolf or wood spiders. My house is in the middle of the woods; large spiders usually inhabit the corners of our window screens (on the outside) and my wood piles. They may even be different spiders but there are tons of them, big and small, all over the place. I don't mind; I prefer them to mosquitoes which are quite prevalent. Maybe I have some pictures available to illustrate...

Really doesn't do them justice though.

Wolf spiders are nasty.
I had one in the living room one night...went to smack the thing with a shoe and a bajillion babies went running everywhere.
Freaked the crap out of me...still does.

We had those on the carport (smoking area!) at the last rental before we bought this house. Nasty, nasty, nasty. Even though I no longer hate spiders, since I started gardening, they still kinda creep me out! And those who turn into gazillion baby spiders when you smack 'em.. *shudder*

This is the kind of wood spider we have around here (N. GA)...

Imagine a man who's about 6'2" -- my grandfather was, even when he was 80 yrs old, he was a big solid tall man, great big hands (mechanic, farmer, all his life). Now imagine that wood spider as big as those great big hands -- that's what I saw in his house, and had to just run get him and drag him in there to GET RID OF IT! because it terrified me so badly I couldn't make a sound except a wheezy sort of groan or whimper.

They're not poisonous, but I bet a bite from a spider that big would HURT!!!

So that's what those spiders are. Never saw them before until I moved back to NY and moved up into the 'burbs here. One night I was out with the dogs and saw a spider walking on the sidewalk in the dim light of the street lights. Stepped on it to kill it and then saw a mass grow larger and larger as the baby spiders scattered. Scared the you know what out of me.

What I find fascinating is the wasps (forget their official name) that makes clay nests and captures spiders to stuff in their nests. I read that the spiders are kept alive, but in a zombiefied state so that when their baby hatches, it can feed on the spiders.

With the subtank mini you HAVE to tighten the bottom pin. If you dont you will get varying ohms readings. Put a baby screw driver or a little drill bit in the airflow holes and tighten it a little and then they are rock solid.

What I was saying with the subtank mini bit me tonight. I got out some of my tobacco flavored vapes thats been sitting a while developing (steeping). I got out a new RBA deck, wicked it with some cotton and tried some Latakia and it was vaping well, then a dry hit on my M80 Plus. The coil was at .7 ohms initially but I looked when it dry hitted and it was at 2.1 ohms. Yikes! Took the RBA deck apart, tightened the bottom pin and went back to vaping. Then after emptying that tank, I decided to try some Shade tobacco flavor (nice plum tobacco). I rewicked it with some fresh cotton and gave it a try. All was going well and wam, another dry hit. Now the ohms reading was at 1.07. Jeez. Ended up taking it all apart, rebuilding the coil and wick, (was an original coil that came with the RBA deck) and problem solved. Nothing worse than having a great vape ruined by a coil/deck that wants to change its resistance!

Was smashing cans one day and seen a huge brown recluse go into a can, so I grabbed it and put it in the smasher. When I smashed it a ton of baby spiders the size of a pin head came pouring out of the can. Grabbed a can of WD-40, and my lighter and roasted them baby spiders!
