Kevin..I know.  He goes to a couple of places first including Kuwait but they expect him to be in place within two weeks.  I know it will be hot...hot...hot.  Don&#39;t know if my SIL realizes that but she&#39;s so stressed out.  I&#39;m sure he is aware of what to expect although you can&#39;t really prepare for that kind of heat.  From Air Force friends that have been there and returned from here in Vegas they said it was brutal but they did get acclimated eventually.  It was the Camel spiders they were most scared of.  These huge things that chase you and outrun you.  ICK&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  I don&#39;t think I&#39;d mention that to her either.  The story is after the bite you are so numb they can keep on chewing and you don&#39;t know it until you wake up and a good portion of your hand is gone.  I thought it odd of all the things to be afraid of it came down to spiders but both guys I know had the same horror stories about them.  They witnessed them and said they were horrifying.  <br /><br />Speaking of spiders...Steve was telling me about Vinegaroon spiders which are at the prison he works at.  He said all the guys are terrified of them.  They are extremely aggressive and they chase you too.  I guess if they bite you everything you eat tastes like vinegar for a week.  Supposed to be fictitious but other officers there have been bitten and swear by it.  They really are not spiders though.  They are half spider and half scorpion from what I&#39;ve read.  I asked how he kills them and he says they just step on them.  OMG&#33;  <br /><br />All right... now that I&#39;ve given everyone nightmares.  Sorry&#33;<br /><br />So much for my evening out.   I&#39;m back early ... DH was a total KILL JOY&#33;  He&#39;s just extra tired so I only got in a couple of line dances before he had to leave.  I&#39;d say come pick me up in a couple of hours but I was afraid he&#39;d fall asleep and then forget me completely.  <br /><br />Well... he&#39;s watching TV and I promised to join him.  <br /><br />TJ get better really soon&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
