She has eaten him.

My rather splendid female spider has today eaten her mate.

I am a little sad, they have been sharing a web for the last couple of weeks, I was beginning to think they had a Understanding . But alas, today Mr spider is no more.

For reference they are not pets, rather squatters that inhabit my ceiling.

This did make me laugh.

Sadly, if any sign of baby spiders Henry will be enlisted. I'm progressive, but There Are Limits.

They will be teent tony and will soon leave home.

Then Mts Spider will find another.

Could he have pretended he was a female, and the real female (the one without a willy) wanted him out of her space asap.

If only we could all eat our husbands when they got on our nerves.
so true.

So do you have to hang them first? I'm not a good cook, but I think they have to be well hung

This has got me thinking... once upon a time, DH was lean and muscly and wouldn't have made a good dinner, but is probably a bit more tasty now with the unhealthy addition of middle aged spread.

So do I tuck in next week, or wait a couple of years for even more fat to marble through the meat?

Brilliant 😂

I was in our loft office room building dh a chair and a massive house spider ran down the wall at me. Like actually went for me. When I told dh he said “oh yeh that’s Bruce, he is a dick but I love feeding him flies and watching him eat. He’s getting so big. He must have thought you an intruder.” 😅

DH is training an assassin!
Now, casually make a show of cancelling your life insurance...

Vegemiteandhoneyontoast · 19/07/2024 10:44

If you find a ball of baby orb spiders, blow on it gently and they all shoot off in different directions, a bit like a firework going off. It's really impressive.

😂I love how Bruce is protecting the man cave 😂

Last holiday I got out of the shower to find DP sat on our balcony, breaking crisps into tiny pieces and leaving them on the wall for the colony of ants to pick up and carry the little crisps up the wall and back to their ant houses / nests (?) We almost missed dinner we were that engrossed in their efforts 😂

I think you'd definitely need a chest freezer.

Silviasilvertoes · 19/07/2024 10:20

That might result in the need for therapy. I’d imagine pretty much everything is out there if you look for it. And just remember, if you do, the police will check your search history. Covertness needed from the outset!

Think there’s definitely one out there with chianti and fava beans…

op your dh may need to get some flys in, don’t want hungry baby spiders in da house… mama spider may already be giving him the side eye

ladymalfoy45 · 19/07/2024 11:13

I suggest a huge cauldron for the cooking. Because I want to see if the ads show cooking pots.
And I think there are friends from Wild Green Memes on here....,,👀

Sevenwondersofthewoo · 19/07/2024 11:42

If your looking to eat your husbands the best way is to club him on the side of the head and put him in your freezer first. Would be good if he’s already bent over at the freezer as a body is heavy. Now you partial defrost so the cutting is easier and there you have it. Remember and sharpen those knives how 😈 😈

would love to have a web though for the deed but we’d need copious amounts

now leave the kids alone and no Henry

I’ve a family in my bathroom that no one is allowed to touch unless it’s the cat and I’ve no say in that

But wouldn't we have to gut and skin first?

I don't really want to lug the whole thing every time I want a couple of rashers for my breakfast.

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 19/07/2024 11:54

Reminds me of the show Santa Clarita Diet where she brings along a finger as a snack 😁

OccultGnuNew · 19/07/2024 12:03

All this talk of eating your partners is interesting but what's the plan for the vegetarians amongst us?

ladymalfoy45 · 19/07/2024 12:05

@NetballHoop think of the size of the nappies. And the wet wipes.

ladymalfoy45 · 19/07/2024 12:06

@OccultGnuNew we'll come up with a bartering system

We’d swap of course.

OccultGnuNew · 19/07/2024 12:09

Ooo interesting, could I get his equivalent weight but in tofu? Or quorn?

Partial defrost then cut him up will be good but it will take time of course.
