Did you make the figure? I was excited that you might be a spider artist for a moment there, haha. You would have liked the old version of this site (Spiders.us) … there were forums for art, spider memes and general discussions. I have no idea if any changes were made to the site. 🙁 I haven’t uploaded images myself in a while and don’t remember what to expect.

OK. I’ll try to remember check back on it in a day or two. Holiday stuff is eating up all my free time. I didn’t get notifications for any of these posts, I’m seeing a lot of them now for the first time. I think you need to respond directly to something I’ve said for me to get a notification or else I might miss it. 🙁

Just popping in to say hi, hope you’re well. Have I missed anything crazy here?

Yes, as of now the kids are all supposed to go back this fall and masks are supposed to be optional… Glad to hear things are going well here.
