MOVE MOVE MOVE. For the sake of the children, move away. I can see it know: "Well we keep the black widows because they kill the brown recluses, and we keep the frogs to kill the black widows, and we keep the rattle snakes to kill the frogs, and we keep the coyotes to kill the rattle snakes. It is great around the house. The kids have some many pets to play with, and the animals seem to discourage CPS."
You keep spiders???? I want everyone to know right now, we have a kill insects on sight in our home. From spiders, to ants, to rollie pollies, and any other creature that does not press the door bell, and we invite them in. If we see two spiders in a day, we are packing up the family and busting out the bug bomb (insecticides or not, rotting flesh sounds worse).
Here is a question though, and one that confuses me:"We moved out here in December of 2005, and haven't been knowingly bitten - until now." and then "We've had a few suspicious bites from "something" before, however." What the hell is going on over there? How many times do you have to be bit by "something" before you decide there is a problem? They need to sweep in there Waco style, or at least like there is polygamy going on and save those children.

"Then: Run 120-degree hot water over the wound for 15 seconds. Whenever the bite wound gets your attention, either by burning or itching, then that's your signal to get it with hot water again. You can start by putting the wound under warm to hot water, and then slowly making the water hotter, until you've reached the 120 degree mark, and then keep it there for around 15 seconds. 120-125 degrees is the general temperature that can still be withstood, when you've slowly acclimated the wound by bringing up the temperature slowly. Therefore, you don't need a thermometer, just bring the water up to a temp that you can barely stand. If you are still unsure, then you can use a thermometer"
I would like to note that 120 degrees is code for hot waterheaters. Why? Because 121 degrees burns babies skin.
What an idot. Her giving out medical advice really angers me but I am unable to post. I must have been rude or something. Hmmmm. One of her followers could get bitten by a brown recluse spider while I type this and needs medical attention and instead she puts the affected area under 120 degree water then trips over her dress and the braided hair and then dies. Why is it that none of her readers have health insurance?
I would like to know if what she is writing and giving medical advise legal. I have a brother who is an IT attorney (Erik, that means informational technology.) I will have to ask him.
Well if we don't hear from her in a couple of days we can at least pray for her....seriously. That is crazy to mess with a brown recluse bite.
I live in the US and for practicality's sake I am familiar with the only two poisonous spiders that live on our contintent: the black widow, and the brown recluse. I know what they look like and I know to get immediate medical attention should any of us receive a bite. It only takes a few seconds of research on the Internet to learn how dangerous those bites can become without medical intervention.
It just perplexes me that she would blow off something serious like this. Thank God it wasn't one of her kids!
How dare her to think that her knowledge is the word and all mighty right. SHE DOES NOT HAVE A MEDICAL DEGREE or any degree. If you google "brown recluse spider bite", 86,400 sites come up. These people who think
Candy knows everything from homemaking to cooking to raising children to being a personal trainer to money management (cough cough) to home decorating (cough cough to hairdressing (cough cough) you know where I am going with these examples--- actually look up to her. It is sad and dangerous. I remember her stating that you can "make homemade formula for pennies" but never shared the recipe. This was the same post where she was against government handouts and the WIC program. I bet a large % of her readers qualify and need these programs and she is stating that it is not Christian to accept these programs. THE BRAUER FAMILY NEEDS THESE PROGRAMS but I don't think it covers pest control. My "soft side" is was coming out for a wee bit So sad. My heart does go out to the children--I don't think homeschooling is a bad thing if you do it right. Her children will not have the socialization because she keeps them so sheltered in her own little Candy world.
A few years ago, I made the Friendship Amish bread starter and it gave the whole family flatulence. I will end on that note.
The question is....did Candy REALLY even get a bite or is this more of her made up stuff? I truly believe that she makes up at least 50% of the stuff she posts. I think her site is an ego booster for her and a way for her to make a little money by people buying her stuff. I think she bakes bread one time, takes a picture and then acts like she does it weekly. Same with all the other duties she claims. I think she sits her ass on her "comfy" couch with "DH" and figures out how many more children they need to have to up the welfare they receive, while the children clean house and put together a puzzle that constitutes homeschooling in their eyes. I can not believe CPS ever gave the one child they took back.
Candyland just posted this website in response to the spider chronicles.

Has anyone been to "Coffee with Candy" lately? The latest posts comment section is interesting. I think Candy is posting comments on there and it is humorous!

"justme" is already going in and deleting their comments after i posted mine about thinking it was candy. I cut and pasted one before it was deleted. The first post stated that "coffee with candy" was vile and nasty. who uses words like that in her blog??!!
justme
I'm not, honestly, given the company you keep.
The biggest joke here is that you and your friends are, in the eyes of the Church, behaving as badly (or perhaps worse, because you're supposed to know better) as you say Candy is.
You make me ashamed to be Catholic. Honeslty. You do. You make me ashamed to think people may think that all Catholics behave this way.
We don't. I don't agree with Candy, and I know many of her arguments are rooted in ignorance and superstition. But I'm not going to be the cause of her hardening her heart and closing her ears for the sake of winning some phony, fake fight on the internet.
I feel bad for her on the one hand, and I am actually tremendously impressed with the way she keeps her chin up and a smile on her face in spite of the fact that some sour old biddies are literally gang-banging her on a daily basis. She may be wrong, but she has more honor and integrity than you lot ever will.
Actually Benjamin, the comments left by "justme" don't have enough grammatical errors and misspellings to be Candy's.
I didn't think about that! It could be the "DH" though!
The other anti candy websites are just as bad as she is. They are all pompous, arrogant, and self-righteous when it comes to their opinion. I was told that the majority of people on one blog were "a tad bit older, and more seasoned." That they were not into personally attacking Candy, but as you read through the comments by the "regulars" or "more seasoned" readers they are just as disparaging as any comment I have ever left. They do not like outsiders, and would rather complain in their own insulated world. It is like watching the Sunnis and Shia fight: small differences, but with the same intolerance. What a wonderful world.
By the way, I am married, and it is a union. It is not one submitting to another. It is an equal partnership. I find this to be more Christian than one party submitting to another. I respect my wife, her intelligence, and her perspective on life too much to ever think that there should be only one person making the decisions. I married my wife because I love everything about her. I respect everything about her, and usually wonder what in the hell she is doing with me. I just think that a submissive relationship equates to one feeling superior and not appreciating the other.
I know about Visits to Candyland and Coffee with Candy... are there others?
I would say that there are as many variations of the power dynamic in marriages as there are marriages. Love, respect and appreciation on the part of the husband doesn't preclude the wife feeling a sense of submission.
But this can be anything from biting her tongue if he is doing something she disagrees with but knows he feels strongly about to the submission of heart where she consciously builds her husband up in her thoughts and feelings.
While some couples might have a perfectly equal split in power this won't work for everyone. everyone to each their own.
That through me off for a minute there candyiscrazy, when you mentioned your wife...I had pictured you as a woman. :-)
