Whats the farthest you traveled? Mine was 4 hours one way. Got to see a fellow members awesome collection. Twice!
Yeah I've done it twice in a year. I just love traveling! I've never seen someone else's collection in person though. I'm thinking of more, hang in there guys!

-instead of playing computer games like BF3 or any sort, you just open your web browser, type arachnoboards.com then read some replies from threads.
-every piece of a plastic container you see must be yours.
-picture whore.

... you plan the family vacation around the ATS conference 3000 miles away.
... you try to calculate if ATS conference and related expenses can be itemized on 1040 as continuing education expenses.
... you have friends and co-workers saving likely spider containers and water bowls.
... you mumble incoherently when a family member asks, "Just how many spiders do you have now?"
... you relate at the family dinner table that you have sold four spiders that will be shipped out Monday. But, fail to mention that there will be 7 more incoming...
... none of your arachnophobic co-workers are willing to bring you the box that arrived special delivery.
... you're continually rearranging spider containers in an effort to: A) disguise how many there really are, and B) to see how many more you can fit

Great thread! LOL

you open the door and the person backs up three steps bc they heard you carry spiders in your pocket/purse (true story. Apparently when I moved back to my very small home town my reputation preceded me)
the local pet-shop owner gets excited when they see you and asks for advice on inverts
you get depressed/angry when someone steps on a spider
you raise your arms straight up in the air when you want to be threatening :p
when the weather warms up you get excited for "molting season"
Your first question when considering an apartment is "do you spray for bugs"
