(22,239 posts)I'm sure scorpions have some redeeming quality, but I am hard pressed to find it.

(46,179 posts)I stumbled, mostly asleep, to the bathroom at about 2:00 in the morning; slapped the light on as I went through the door, dropped my pjs, sat, and looked down...
to see a very large scorpion about an inch away from my bare feet.
I lifted my feet and yelled until the then-spouse woke up, scooped it up in a can and released it outside.

(21,925 posts)where there were scorpions everywhere. The family dog was coated with them when we let it outside. When my dad cut the grass, the cuffs of his pants held several of them when he was finished. They were inside the house, all over the place despite the fact my parents would periodically leave the house and burn some poisonous candles designed to kill them. During that one year in San Antonio, my mother said she barely ever slept. I hope its not like that still.
