Call in straight
In a spirit of fairness, equality, and fair play I think every straight person should call in "straight" to see if we have any input to this country, its output, and the ecomomy. .......I'm must be really stupid thinking you can have it both ways.
Religion and the Constitution founded and guided this country. Why do people continue to try and destroy the reason intended by our forefathers, oh I forgot political correctness is more important than God, our country, and our children's future.
The founders strived for freedom of speech. but today that's offensive. You can't have both. With all of the media and technology, we live in the most ignorant of societies.
Britain is on the verge of systematic destruction by Islam and we are next. This country is so divided it will be easy to destroy. Live your life or your lifestyle, but as Ben Franklin stated, "DON'T TREAD ON ME". One nation, under God.
The report this morning of a district in Tennessee not giving students lower than a sixty was joke about this morning, but take a look at our lowcountry schools because a few of them have that policy, particularly in Dorchester 4. Apparently if students see a grade below a 60, they'll give up.
This also means, however, that students who do nothing or very little still get 60s even when they earn a zero. *sigh*

SECURIY MORE IMPORTANT THAN ECONOMY
WHAT GOOD IS OUR MONEY OR ECONOMY WITHOUT A COUNTRY TO SPEND IT IN ? IF I NEEDED MARRIAGE COUNSELING, THE FIRST QUESTION I WOULD ASK THE COUNSELOR IS " ARE YOU MARRIED?
RUSSIA IS IN OUR BACKYARD WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS. SOME CAN GIVE ONLY OPINIONS AND ADVICE ON MILITARY ISSUES, OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE AND RISKED LIFE AND LIMB CAN GIVE US THE SECURITY AND SAFETY WE NEED ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR OUR CHILDRENS' FUTURE AND BEYOND, GOD BLESS YOU, OUR TROOPS AND OUR COUNTRY, JOEY LEPORE SOUTH CAROLINA
Thank you. We needed this. The whole country needs this. Awesome job.

Not banana spider
Too small for a banana spider. I ran into one, face first, strung across my fence post and like to s*&t. I sprayed it with RAID and ot took three days for it to succumb to the desired effects.
The spider you have is very common around here. I have no idea what it might be but the two I had been watching in my yard packed up and moved their entire web one night, same night. Yours might be gone by now. They're harmless but scary as hell if you run into them when mowing the yard.

Golden Silk is correct.
I had several of these in my back yard when I lived in Alabama. If you want to see a good picture of mine it is on webshots. http://tinyurl.com/5htvcs
Notice mine has only 7 legs as well.
Cheers

Thanks Y'all!
Thank you to all who responded to the spider question...it is a banana spider! Y'all rock....I swear if there's an egg sac against the corner of my house when I get back to town, my spider friend is going to be relocated - again, and she will not be the mother of any spider babies.

The spider is a female golden silk spider. It's found in the southeastern US among other tropical areas. It is usually found near the coast especially in areas close to wetlands. The spider will not bite unless provoked, but the bite is not poisonous.

This is a Golden Silk Spider, or Nephila. They get really big (2 1/2"), and when they are full-grown, the silk in their web is actually a beautiful golden color. Their silk is said to be the strongest natural fiber on Earth, and some people in the Caribbean actually make fishing nets out of it. The good part for us is that the silk is also strong enough to hold Palmetto Bugs, which the Golden Silk Spider eats.

Looks to me like that is a banana spider. They won't hurt you, but they are huge and scary

Golden silk spider
Golden silk spider (Nephila clavipes). Quite common, and though the female (pictured) is fairly large and scary looking, quite harmless!

Looks like the shadow of a banana spider. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephila_clavipes There all over my parents backyard in "unincorporated" Dorchester County.
