I AM SCARED OF SPIDERS. I dont like them, they freak me out, and they unnerve me with their quick walks across the ceilings of the house. This one, if you look at the palm of my hand and not count the fingers, is as big as the palm of my hand...and if you see clearly, its eating the mother of cockroaches (just a tad smaller than my thumb).
Tommy Garnett has been trying to train me to not be terribly scared of spiders, or cockroaches, or whatever strange insect there is in these corners of the tropical world... He tells me that they are more scared of us and I am of them. And Im trying to take it in and realize that these creatures have been here for longer than we have, and that they probably will be here long after we are gone... They have as much right to be on this earth than I do. So Im trying to reach a point of respect towards spiders and cockroaches. But its not easy.
Yesterday I saw a pineapple that was for sure 2 or 3 sizes as big as "normal" pineapples, to the point when I had to ask what on earth it was, till I found out it was a pineapple. That happens to fruit here. And Trees. And well, guess what?.
IT HAPPENS TO BUGS.
So yes. I leave this weekend for Tiwai Island, to live there 2 weeks and carry out the interviews for my study, with the surrounding communities. Its exciting, and it feels good to finnally get the material I´ve been working so hard to get, to then analyse it. It feels great. But Im scared.
I will be on my own this time. I will meet and be accompanied by the manager of the Tiwai programme, who will also be my translator (the people around Tiwai speak Mende). And I´ll be living in the research center on Tiwai with two German researchers called Claudia and Dunja, that have been on Tiwai since January studying primates... If they survived, so will I. Right?

¿Alguna vez dije que soy de Caracas? Pues no. O sea, sí. A ver: desde los siete años viví en un poblado cercano a Caracas, pero que no era Caracas. Mis amigos en Caracas siempre dijeron (aún hoy) que yo vengo del monte. Y sé que la verdad es esa, cuando escribes de una araña del tamaño de la palma de tu mano como si lo hicieras de un cachalote. Honestamente no había visto una comiéndose una cucaracha, pero no me parece para nada increíble. Incluso recuerdo una vez haber capturado a una cucaracha tan grande como esa araña, y con macanas (ya, no es una cucaracha, es otra cosa, pero para que te la imagines).....ah, y volaba. Eso sin contar que una vez, mientras ayudaba a un tío a quitar la maleza de un sembradío que tenía cerca del pueblo, hallamos una araña en un hueco que nos miraba con sus muchos ojos, y que era al menos más grande que mi puño cerrado. Y peluda. Otra vez a una abeja reina le dió por iniciar una nueva colonia justo en la reja de la entrada de mi casa, y llegó con su enjambre y su zumbido ensordecedor: hubo que llamar a los bomberos para que las quitaran.
Cuando empecé a escribir esto, mi intención era darte algún ánimo, pero al releerlo creo que lograré lo contrario....no importa, considéralo shock therapy. ¡Valentía, chamita!
Wilian se lo dijo todo... la cuestión es que tu no vienes del campo y si de Brasilia! En Itabuna las arañas se paseaban por la calle en la noche, sin contar de las jararacas y otras cositas más que nos venian a visitar a la casa muchas veces... Cariños y fuerza! Te echo de menos, no te veo online desde hace mucho... Tu mamá...
Hi sis,
Good writing! I'm enjoying reading you!
Your reflections are well put, indeed bugs will be here longer than we will...and something I think you missed --
" I'm glad someone else is eating the roaches...!"
Love you, enjoy Tiwaii - say hi to the chimps and remember that you are one of few people who will see a place with such a high diversity of primates...! :) Aren't you lucky!

OMG... I could never do what you do! I'm so arachnophobic all I can do is run and scream like the girl I am! Only once was I even able to approach a spider... only to capture it and release it outside - or shall I say throw it - so it couldn't hurt my cats. (No, the spider didn't get hurt, he didn't fall far.) You're a good person for doing what you do, bless your heart! Good luck!
New here,
I'm spending my time here for the kids of Haiti.
I'm doing this for a non-profit haiti group that gives time to
creating an oppurunity for the kids in haiti. If anyone here wants to donate then do so here:
[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti
They provide children in Haiti a positive learning environment.
And yes, they're legitimate.
Any help would be great
This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on www.blogger.com. I decided to find a good manufacturer of e-smokes. I'm done with paying so much for normal smokes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers quality Electronic cigarettes with disposable cartridges that compose of the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a variety of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented technology offers convenience and exhibit performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety."
I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

Suggestions on How to fulfill Women at the Local mall
If you may be just one guy and aren't the easiest at acquiring a good deal much less meeting women and are wondering wherever you could head to unearth and fulfill a toddler, then these ten reasonable hints on how to meet a woman in the local mall, have to come in mighty handy.
1 - Go for the food court. Believe it or not, the foodstuff court may be the absolute ideal place during the shopping mall to fulfill a young lady. Here's what you do. Choose a foodstuff put and get in line for your meal. Though you are usually in line, seem to be all around the region where everybody is seated and eating. Glance for a young girl seated alone, and even two girls seated together. When you've got your meal in hand, walk above to where by she or they can indeed be sitting down and check with if you possibly can join them. If you're sincere and straightforward with them, your chances are pretty decent.
2- Do some considering. Before you even think about proceeding for the mall to meet a girlfriend, sit yourself down and do some considerable contemplating. Consider how you could match a chick and what you may say to her if you're the one flourishing. Contemplate which components with the shopping mall you'd probably pay a visit to. Also, you're going to have to invest in a thing although there, what do you would like? At last, check out what meeting a chick in a public put entails. Definitely you might ought to glimpse to get a wedding ring just before speaking with a chick, and you can ought to keep in mind if it is wiser to speak into a female alone or just one who's with other people. At last, you're likely to have to get realistic about your personal age and also the ages of this female you want to satisfy. As in, you may would need to tell your own self to get reasonable and don't you could try to satisfy women which have been very much younger or older than that you are, or that glimpse out of your league.
three - Ask for allow. The moment you will be in conclusion with the shopping mall, one from the ways to meet women is by asking them for allow. Women understand that men have no notion what these are doing when they are shopping, so asking for guidance will not seem this kind of a ridiculous idea. Request advice in picking out a jacket for oneself for instance. Working on so let's the woman know which you are single. If she agrees to aid you, find out her other queries as you grab several jackets to attempt on.

Buying [url=http://www.thomassabosaleukshop.co.uk]thomas sabo[/url] on line can conserve you from the hassle of leaving your residence for a conventional shopping spree. You'll find two ways to shop on the net: by a store's official [url=http://www.monclersale4uk.com]moncler jackets uk[/url] or by means of an online auction web-site. Buying at a website provides you a larger selection of designs and sizes than the shop. For instance, the turtleneck which you will need inside a size 5 is more likely to be in stock at the on the web retailer than at a regular boutique shop. You'll be able to shop anytime which makes it advantageous for those that have a busy schedule. You also save up on fuel and cash, due to the fact you usually do not must devote income on gas or fare.
The mark-up on diamonds is to be expected once you think about the fact that dealers need to cover their personal costs while also generating a profit. They have to deal with a lot of different expenses and these end up coming out of your pocket at the finish in the day. For this reason alone [url=http://www.thomasfashionshop.com]thomas sabo sale[/url] tends to make sense to do your buying on the web any time you are hunting for good quality engagement rings at a very good value.
Online [url=http://www.topclarisonicmiasale.com]clarisonic mia[/url] never have these expenses to feel about. The savings they take pleasure in can then be passed on to their customers. When you obtain your diamond rings on line, you may expect to get pleasure from savings of up to 20%, which is considerable.
[url=http://www.uggbootssaleonlineshop.com]ugg boots[/url] Assuming you have got decided to buy a ring, your subsequent step is to decide how much that you are prepared to spend. It is always a great idea to go to some local stores to determine how significantly they charge for the type of ring you would like to invest in. This will likely permit you to make comparisons once you turn your attention to online retailers.
