'terrifying spider post', November 2005

Are you afraid of massive spiders?





I apologise for the blurriness, but it is a bit hard to hold the camera still when any moment a huge black spider is going to fling itself onto your face.



===== here endeth the repost =====

I am doing nothing but writing at the moment, and while I would really like to be able to write stuff here there is nothing for me to write about. When I finish this block of writing I'm afraid I will be going back on the Jane Austen intravenously and I daresay there will be posts all right but they will be austeny. Sorry about that. Hence the spider photos.

Albie is having a tooth taken out tomorrow. I will ask the vet to put it in a bottle.

I have (secretly) kept all of Bumblebee's baby teeth, and checked with his dentist last week how many are left to fall out (2). When I have them all, I'm going to have a necklace made, similar to those pearls threaded on wire, one strand for top teeth, the other for the bottom ones, all in order. Lordy, I can't wait.

Worth having a kid just for the souvenir necklace.

I'll send you Albie's tooth for a spare.

I think this post was one of the first that I read on your blog. It remains the most terrifying.

Poor Albie. After a fair amount of nagging on my part I persuaded the NB to take one of his felines who we've nicknamed "Stinky" to the vet to get her teeth cleaned. $350 and 4 teeth removed later (some had already fallen out but he hadn't noticed) she is now the sweetest smelling critter in the house. She was a sad, scared not-so-wee thing for a few days afterwards though.

Come clean, this is a compilation: 'The best of RH.'

Keep going!

My daughter had a teeth collection - some are hers, some are her brother's. We took some snaps prior to her recent garage sale (I think she has kept them.)
