i also sleep in the recliner, on the couch, and in the floor......guess i will have to start checking all my hangouts for spiders....

You're like my brother. he could sleep in a garbage can. One day when we were kids, we were playing hide and seek and couldn't find him for hours.
My father came out to put out the garbage and found him in a metal can sleeping. :lol:

I thought hobo was another name for the brown recluse? :dunno:

Here is what wikipedia says:The hobo spider (Tegenaria agrestis) is a member of the genus of spiders known colloquially as funnel web spiders. Hobo spiders sometimes build their webs in or around human habitations. T. agrestis is indigenous to western and central Europe, but is now also found in the northwestern USA and southwestern Canada. The northwest includes Oregon, does it not? This same author further used his toxicology study as the basis for claiming that in some parts of the U.S. nearly all bites imputed to Loxosceles reclusa, the brown recluse spider, are in reality hobo spider bites[3] —recluses are not found in the range of the hobo spider. These two references are the foundation for the belief that hobo spiders are dangerous to humans.

Some of these women may not be able to sleep tonight, and that includes me.
