I agree, I accidentally killed one at my job the other day, I usually try to put them outside but it was on my hand (and was the size of my hand). The colorful ones are the scariest to me though, at least around here, they look too tropical which = dangerous in my book lol.

All the huntsman spiders stay outside though which is good. I've only ever had one inside, which flew out of the air con vent when I was watching cricket a few years ago. Probably the closest I've been to cardiac arrest.

Yeah, somehow it got in there. I still stay away from the vents to this day.

-Rye bread (warmed up) and dipped in olive oil.
-A small cup of chips
-Four beers
-Hundred calorie English toffee ice cream bar
-Chicken parmesan (one piece of chicken)

Not too much, I guess. I got my exercise in today, so I'm not the least bit worried about a calorie surplus for the day.

You barely eat anything. I need to have like 2500 calories to avoid feeling hungry.

If I eat junk food, I find it barely fills me up and I can easily consume loads of calories. I like food that fills me up. It doesn't take much to make me feel full if I eat filling foods.

Forgot I also had a glass of milk in the morning.

If I eat things like meat, pancakes, eggs, and so on, I can get very full. I've kind of always been that way, more so with eggs and pancakes. I love pancakes, but I can't eat too many of them. I always have the shortstack (usually two or three) if I have them at a diner. That will leave me feeling quite full. I can't eat however many come with the full stack, or whatever.

Maybe for those who don't count calories, avoiding junk food is the best way to keep the weight off because it's so calorie-dense, yet it doesn't fill you up. Chips and other snack foods are probably the worst in this respect. It's amazing how many calories you can consume by eating even a half a bag or a quarter of a bag of chips (with perhaps ten servings of 150 calories each... usually it works out to be that a single potato chip is something like 10-15 calories).
