Just a thought on your 22 year old daughter liking boys instead of T's.....kidnap her boyfriend and do some type of scientific experiment on him....adding a few femurs, chelicerae and abdominal setae - she will warm up to T's no problem after that! (Not sure how she'd feel about her boyfriend afterward, though...:p )
Thankfully my 22 year old daughter (one of 4 girls) has a T. Her new boyfriend ain't too keen and was even less so when I got introduced to him and he saw my collection....mwhahaha. No weddings to pay for just yet :)

Where are you from, Phil? Most of us Southern gals are raised old school....my grandmother had quite an influence on me growing up. She raised me to be a real lady. I have the utmost respect for people. I give what I would expect in return. Now, most people mistake kindness for weakness....which, I am very kind. I do, however, have a bit of a "fiery" side, lol...
.I try to keep her locked up. Sometimes she gets the best of me, though.....still, my grandmother always encouraged me, scolded me, taught me.....one of the greatest mentors in my life. I am a product of my raisin' and I say that with the utmost pride. I am proud of who I am today. No room for regrets!!! :) I hope a lot of people feel this way about themselves and are proud of who they are and what they've become.
I am in the UK in a seaside town called Blackpool. Mr grandparents were all "old school" too. I HATE with a passion bad manners as it costs nothing to say please and thank you and to treat people with respect. I always open doors for ladies and give up my seat etc but you are right, so many people just don't have any respect these days. I bet you do have a fiery side....I can see it in your baby browns.....lol

Rant away buddy. FB is the root of all evil. I joined it to see what my wife was up to... I found out and we are no longer together so feel your pain. She tolerated spiders but only when she was getting something at the same time I got a new spider. Needless to say my collection has expanded since....so "winner winner chicken dinner".:). It gets better and I am sure you will get much support from fellow forum members. You never know, maybe you should suggest a dating thread?

I hate FB!!! All it is is drama, drama, drama. You've got everyone in the world in your business. No privacy whatsoever. It's stupid. They should come up with a dating site for arachnid hobbyists, lol.....you poor fellas. Just haven't met your Ms. "Right".... it's terrible.....I would rather have a Tarantula as a gift over gold, clothes, material things, lol.....I can't say over $ because I could use that $ to buy more T's, lol.....so its a win win for me either way as long as it's a T or $....
Beat you to the dating thread idea already ....lol Another FB loather. Get in! Are you too good to be real? Must have some faults ;)

Oh I have plenty of faults. I'm not perfect but there is one thing that I am honored to have and to give and that's a trustworthy relationship. If you're a bachelor/bachelorette, announce it. Don't get into a relationship under false pretenses only to hurt the person that actually "cares". It's a terrible thing to play with. I'm against cheating. You lie with dogs you catch fleas. I stay away from the dogs. ;)
This is the only dog I ever loved (sadly she died of stomach cancer). Her name was Kira.

Beautiful lady!!! What breed is she? Lol, it's all about the competition!!! Ha ha ha!
She was a white German Shepherd. Pretty rare in the UK as still a bit snobbish about the "breed standard"..... idiots! Did it make her a lesser companion...no, did we love her less...no. Rant over. Yes I was really pleased when I was on top of SasyStace ( by media posts).lol

Yeah....that sucks. I'm sure he'll molt to maturity next time. He is a good size. Well, perhaps you can breed aphonos months after she molts since they grow so slow?
I think Probally can she going on 2 year's in her same dress :) so surely they molt same way in the wild .i, figuring there is a seasonal breeding could very well be in October
