OMG I did it!!!
This is a huge and momentous occassion for me. I have had a fear of spiders, more specifically tarantulas, for some time. (since I was a little girl, but let's not dwell on how long ago that was ) I had been watching threads here, and even began to appreciate their beauty. I was so excited when I purchased my first little sling.
I have been trying to work myself up to actually holding the sling. Last Monday, I went to another cub scout pack to give a snake presentation and took along the spider shed as well. The kids all wanted to know if I had held it, and I had to tell them I hadn't yet. So this weekend I decided it was time to do something about it.....
First off... to decide to go with the adult diapers or not. Since I was too lazy to go out and get any I decided to go without.
Next, get the sling and take to a safe spot. I decided to go with the bathroom counter, hoping that I wouldn't drop it but have enough light for pictures.
Then I got the little guy out of it's container and onto the lid. I started to get a bit nervous at this point.
Okay maybe I'm getting a lot nervous, but I can do this. We'll start with baby steps. Maybe just a couple legs on my hand, I think I might be able to do that.
Just another second and I'm good. Please don't let me freak out or drop the little baby.
Okay that's enough. I'm good. Now go back onto your lid little T. ACK, wait ... what are you doing. Oh gawd, it's on my hand and how the heck am I supposed to get it back into it's container. Breathe. Okay time to get off ... eep!
The sling spent all of 2 minutes on my hand, but that was because it took me that long to coax it off me!
BUT ... I did it and I'm so proud of me!!!!

Re: OMG I did it!!!
How do I know it is YOUR hand?
For all I know it could be someone else so I think someone need to take a picture of you with the T in your hand
Did I mention you were NUTS.

Who else is going to be dumb enough to let me put a T on their hand?
Hmm... you know I'm not sure you have mentioned NUTS. I'm sure there were a multitude of other names, but I'm not positive on that particular one.

Definitely would have to be related to you!

PS: you know Deb is not going to be happy till she gets a pic of it on your face to prove it is you. Do not encourage her.
Oh good heavens! Who's the one giving her ideas now?
I never would have thought I would enjoy the little thing so much. It's very cool to watch just walking around.

Thanks Mel.
I am not afraid of cockroaches, but I do not want one of those so I understand. If you ever change your mind, I'll be sure to send one your way though.
