Stories from real life

This is a place for stories, mainly real life ones, that I have experienced myself or heard from others. I had some idea that the name of this blog should at least have some personal significance; "Theridion Spins Webs" therefore came to mind. Mainly because I thought the blog would have stories in it and I am an ecologist with a (past) specialism in spiders. Hence "spins webs". Then "Theridion" because it is a genus of spider that spins a thick and tangled web often with a matted platform; so there is maybe some further story-telling metaphor in there as well.
