AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Spider in the house!!! This has certainly been a curious series of events. Shouldn’t you have an ‘s’ on _Sanguine_? Like **SanguinesSpider**. 😛 ---

Well, I’m smoking crack so don’t mind me, UncleBeer. I’m just happy to be myself again (Spider) and never again shall I seek to change the goodness that is me. But I do want to mention that you are the only person who emailed me about the whole thing, to let me know you had passed it along. The change back to Spider just happened magically as I was posting. No harm, no foul! ---

Yes, it IS a relief! I wont ever try to change a good thing again. The powers-that-be are mostly kind. ---

Welcome back Spidey! It’s a great name regardless of whether you like spiders or not. I mean, I don’t like bladders but I still keep the name! ---

> [@](#): > > But I do want to mention that you are the only person who emailed me about the whole thing, to let me know you had passed it along. Hmm. That’s odd. Dex copied me on the e-mail he sent to you. Musta got lost somewhere along the way. I’m glad that everything’s settled now. ---

I mean, I don’t like bladders but I still keep the name! \*\* That reminds me of a dream my friend Eunice had once about bladders being kept in the refrigerator… and then she had placentas to eat in the dream. Weird stuff, to be sure. More seriously though, I agree that it’s a great name. It’s just so… evocative. F\_X ---
