Just a thought, from my own experience with a daughter who (a) likes swimming but (b) not on her back but also is (c) autistic and (d) is fascinated by numbers.<BR/><BR/>I got her used to swimming on her back just by counting. She would join me using her fingers to count on as she floated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397480700716013852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485469691062620401.post-87234880235186575292009-01-11T23:49:00.000-08:002009-01-11T23:49:00.000-08:00I didn't bother to clean the pup.

They ripen a little earlier, and they don't have the same lovely floral qualities that wild blackberries do, but they're pretty good. And I'm fuckin' stuffed full of 'em to the gills right now. I'm supposed to go back to the arse spelunker sometime in the not too distant future. Bastard will doubtless whinge this time about the plethora of loganberry seeds lounging indolently about my intestinal tract...<BR/><BR/>...prick.Flintharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456024642528783549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485469691062620401.post-58315142913450642452009-01-11T22:14:00.000-08:002009-01-11T22:14:00.000-08:00I love berries - I've never eaten a loganberry but...I love berries - I've never eaten a loganberry but I'd love to try some.

Because the huntsman bite was mild pain, the window spider was more painful and produced a lot of swelling from the bite on the finger up to the elbow.

Young woman northbound paid her toll, then as she accelerated up the bridge she saw the moster spider in the car with her. Scream swerve bang.<BR/>She ended upside down, had to be cas-evacced by chopper, car wreckage blocked all north lanes for hours. All because of a big old spider who just wanted a lift to the northside.<BR/><BR/>Bring it on Cap'n, we turtles anti ass kicking technology milenia ago. It's called a shell.<BR/><BR/>Oh and by the way - you'll need to figure out some kind of payment schedule for the "Milk of human kindness curdled to the cheese of F*ck you very much."

I do that to myself with astounding regularity too - perhaps not as bad but enough to produce pain, jumping up and down, and depending on the audience various levels of profanity.<BR/><BR/>I'd have left the spider well alone unless it was identifiably venomous.

I was actually moving left-foot forward into zen kutsu-dachi, preparing to swivel ninety degrees right into ko kutsu-dachi, which would have set my arachnoid opponent up for a quick and dirty mae-geri, but also left me the option of a fast retreat if she seemed too much larger than, say, a St Bernard.
