Hi Mylotters have anyone of you ever tried to do something'
in the dark with horrid results? My son Robbie had a glass of water by his bed on the bedside table. He had a dry throat so did not turn on the light, just took a swallow of water, then He felt something flutter in his mouth,so,still half asleep he took some more water. He said something crawled down his throat and bit him as it went. Whatever it was caused his throat to swell and it was hard for him to breathe. So finally he turned on his light and took some benadryl for allegry and the swelling went down. He woke yesterday morning witha sore throat and some chest pains but they subsided. We think he swallowed a spider and it kept biting him until the stomach acids killed it. Did anyone you ever have a mishap because you did not turn on the light?

Ew! no Iv never had that happen its a good thing that his stomach acids killed the bug, and I'm glad your son didn't get sick, and whenever I drink from my glass I always look inside it before taking a sip, and I never drink anything in total darkness I'm a little bit germaphobic I always rinse my glass before pouring a drink of water or any kind of drink Iv always been that way since I was little. happy

I have not ever been bitten, but I have gotten a bug in my mouth. I put a glass or cup by my bed that has a lid. It is a good screener for creepy crawlies. I think taking the benadryl was smart.

hi grandpa bob oh yes I hate the damned things and every since we moved in here its been spiders. I have a bionic shoulder joint inmy left shoulder and I am in dread of falling again, one night while back I almost fell as there was an ugly medium sized spider wandering around on thje bottom of my shower stall, ugh, I took my towel, doubled it up and smacked the darn thing but I wanted to jump around and scream but was afraid I would fall and break my other shoulder. this apartment is just full of them. we are moving out Saturday and a m I glad. He feels better now but he said the venom just spread all through his body. now he doesnt drink in the dark. lol.

LOL funny huccup, I was going to post the same song. This story reminds of that song so much lol.


myLot reputation of 86/100. Hatley (21459)   ranked 1,343 out of 38,434 in life  1 year ago

hi hiccup and folks oh i always loved that song I used to work in the library on the kids side and the kids librarian often roped me into helping her on story hour. that sone was one of their favorites. and Gale changed it to there was an old lady who swallowed a spider anyway I thought about that as my son told me what had happened. he had never heard that song. By the time she got to the horse the kids had laughed themselves silly, oh I do miss those times. now I am forcibly retired as I dared to work there at age 79. sad but true. a week after emily fire me the headguarters fired her for what she had done,but sadly I could not come back to work as I had fallen and broken myleft shoulder badly.

hi hiccup yes I was doing all my new discussions and was'shocked to find I hadnt given a best response to these old ones. I wasnt'sure
just what to do but knew a lot of these respondents were still'here so
decided to go ahead and give the best response.That was during the'bad days of my life as instead of getting into that damnable apartent in 'the bad words Antioch as we had anticipated, the internet friend who had been so supportive and had told my son oh I will put you up in an apartment in Antioch and pay the first few months rent for you so you canhave a place to stay while you look for work.aha at the last moment the d ay after she had signed an agreement to do all this for us,she changed her mind, she bloody changed her mind. she emailed the manager that she didnt want to help us after all.of c ourse he wouldn't
rent to us with out that paper. so we were homeless and it took until the day before thanksgiving for us to find lodging for me and my son,hes in a govpaid apartment with three other young men all out of work while me the mom is in a retirement home. oh gee oh joy just what I wanted y es. well no.but it willhave to do for now.
but I did decide I loved your response the most so gave it the BR after all it aint over til the fat lady sings and I just sung he he he

Oh my gosh!!! That is disgusting, horrible and gross!! EWWWWWW!!!

I keep a bottle of water next to my bed, CLOSED!! I am glad that I do. I do it so I do not spill it accidentally but now I will make sure that I do it for spiders, too.

Did you know that you are never more than 6 feet from a spider in any room? UGH. I live in the woods and we get a lot of them. Sorry for spider lovers, but I kill them. I am not afraid of them, just do not like them.

We have a lot of brown recluse ones in our area, so we have to be careful

I have done many stupid things in the dark and I think that my toes hate me for it! LOL


myLot reputation of 86/100. Hatley (21459)   ranked 1,343 out of 38,434 in life  1 year ago

hi nanajanet yeah I broke my toe one night in the dark. we also have brown recluses here too. I kill every spider I see, I hate the things a nd the recluses are really dangerous. from now on he will turn on his light if he wants a drink. lol.

Oh thats horrible, I bet he was scared to death, I would of been, especially if my throat started swelling and I couldn't breath, I'd think I was dying. Its good to hear that he got alright tho. My husband is always bringing something to drink when he goes to bed, and we always have spiders or some kind of bugs walking around, I'll tell him to be careful next time to make sure theres nothing in his cup...I've never known this to happen to anyone I know.


myLot reputation of 86/100. Hatley (21459)   ranked 1,343 out of 38,434 in life  1 year ago

olh he was really scared and dosed himself on Benadryl and I am so glad it worked. he felt sick yesterdaybut seems okay today. This had never happened to either of us before either. I am a nut when it comes to doing anything in the dark, i always turn on my light.
