It's the teeny-tiny ones you need to be afraid of. The bigger the scorpion, the milder the sting. It's the teeny-tiny ones you need to be afraid of.

I will now feel like I have scorpions on me for the rest of the day. Ew.<br /><br />My family and I went to Gatlinburg, TN, a couple of years ago and this was before I'd had LASIK, unfortunately. We were staying in a cabin up in the mountains, so I never expected to find a scorpion, but I did. Anyway, I had just taken my contacts out and was about to get in bed when I noticed a black dot on the pillow. Of course, without my contacts, I had to get right on top of it to see what it was and nearly woke everyone in the cabin. My husband, who was my fiance at the time, was sleeping in the next room. So I ran in whisper-shouting (because everyone else was asleep already), "There's a scorpion in my bed!!!" Of course he didn't believe me because there are no scorpions in the mountains, so he wasn't too concerned, but he did do the chivelrous thing and came to kill it. He about died when he realized it was, in fact, a scorpion and immediately apologized for not believing me. To make a long story short, we knew no one else would believe us so we drowned it in the toilet so we could save the dead carcass for the morning for proof. We later found out that they are quite normal around the area and are really just like a mosquito bite. Still, that's creepy. I had to sleep on top of the covers for the rest of the vacation, and made my fiance switch rooms with me, too. Just for good measure. That is sheer terror. I will now feel like I have scorpions on me for the rest of the day. Ew.

My. Goodness.<br /><br />I laughed until I cried. I love your blog, and find it very "spiritually nutritional", so to speak, but the scorpion posts... may well be my favourites. You are a fabulous writer.<br /><br />Oh, also? You have convinced me: I could never live in Texas. Never mind the trucknutz (shudder), it's the scorpions that would do me in. Canadian winters, bring it on. At least we are scorpion-free. Oh. My. Goodness.

My husband was in Iraq a year ago and apparently they found a huge scorpion in their unit headquarters. On of the guys used a big cain of Raid on it and they thought it was dead.One of his genius fellow soldiers thought it would be cool to have as a trophy so he glued its pincers and tail in a "fighting position" onto a board. Needless to say it was NOT DEAD and woke up when my husband had duty in the middle of the night and started jumping toward him across the desk (it couldn't walk because it was glued to the board). I guess they needed the Scorpionator... This made me laugh, especially when you put the book on it in case it came back to life!!

My take was that I didn't want to see everything my first kid did through a little glass window. Not everyone is tempted to this, but I know I would be so I removed myself from that occasion of sin. Now it is tempting to see everything through the lens of "how would that look on paper." Good to keep in mind.<br /><br />Oh, and a relative of my husband's in Kentucky apparently once killed a rattlesnake with a can of raid. Beautiful.
