Nice, do that again :P
That's the goal. And it's also why I make sure to have at least one person that's been through it before.

I used to pick the legs off of daddy long legs for fun...kinda like spiders. Once when I was like 10 my class went for hike all day for field trip and when we finally made it to a port-a-potty there was a black widow there... and no one but me knew what it was lol. After I told everyone freaked out especially when I started poking it with a stick... there like it will kill you if it bites you and I said something like thats why I got a stick. Then what if it jumps? Then I say with an *** that big no way can it jump lol.
Well gotta get up in a few hours so I think I'll try sleeping again. My room is down to about low 80s now so who knows...

Aren't they actually a pretty poisonous spider? They just don't have a mouth big enough to bite you, so they're considered harmless?

There is an urban legend stating that daddy long-legs spiders have the most potent venom of any spider, but that their chelicerae (fangs) are either too small or too weak to puncture human skin; the same legend is also repeated of the harvestman and crane fly, also called "daddy long-legs" in some locales. Indeed, pholcid spiders do have a short fang structure (called uncate). However, brown recluse spiders also have uncate fang structure, but are able to deliver medically significant bites. Either pholcid venom is not toxic to humans or there is a musculature difference between the two arachnids, with recluses, being hunting spiders, possessing stronger muscles for fang penetration. [5]
In 2004, the Discovery Channel show MythBusters set out to test the daddy long-legs myth (Season 1, Episode 13 "Buried in Concrete"). After measuring the spider's fangs at approximately 0.25 mm (average human skin thickness varies from about 0.5mm to 4mm), the show's host was apparently bitten, although the bite produced little more than a mild short-lived burning sensation. This appears to confirm the suspicion that pholcids can penetrate human skin, but that their venom is practically harmless to humans. Additionally, recent research by Alan Van Dyke has shown that pholcid venom is actually relatively weak in its effects on insects as well.[6].
According to the University of California at Riverside, the daddy long-legs spider has never harmed a human and there is no evidence that they are venomous to humans

Arent recluse spiders the only spiders in the midwest with venom strong enough to kill a human?
Recluse Spider a.k.a Loxosceles spiders, like their cousins in Sicarius, have potent tissue-destroying venoms containing the dermonecrotic agent, sphingomyelinase D, which is otherwise found only in a few pathogenic bacteria. This venom is highly necrotic in effect, capable of causing lesions (open sores) as large as a bottle cap. The wounds take a long time to heal and may require skin grafts. If these open wounds become infected there are often serious consequences. Rarely, the venom is carried by the blood stream to internal organs causing systemic effects.
- So I guess not lethal but very unplessant non the less. :I

Wouldn't you want to just kill this spider if you saw it.

Have you tried taking Tylenol PM or a sleep aid? They normally do wonders when I get how you were describing.
What the ***, another maintenance?

Should post some pics of the worse cases of the bites. Some nasty stuff imo. Seen so many that were showing bone. Doctors just let it runs it's course over a couple weeks.
Now my funny story that isn't really spider related, but hilarious to me. Was deployed to Afghanistan and a few people were in our dayroom tent. One guy was on skype with his wife when a Camel Spider fell from the ceiling and landing on his laptop. He screamed like he was a little girl and his laptop went flying across the room. Best part of it was that his wife seen it and it scared the crap out of her too. Now I'm not laughing at his misfortune because I had my fair share of encounters with them.
