I never thought about karma or doing it thinking I will be like your hapless heroine, but after I do, I always regret taking away the spider's meal. The poor spider needs to eat too. Same with those dreaded rabbits, hawks and slugs. Nature is always cruel to some poor beast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-10785774768450891802011-05-25T21:10:32.261-06:002011-05-25T21:10:32.261-06:00Donna, it's more of a cliff-hanger so far--wil...Donna, it's more of a cliff-hanger so far--will the pests start munching, or will they head off into the sunset to live better, less destructive lives...? Thanks for the karmic encouragement.<br /><br />Sheila, where slugs are concerned, we have <i>double</i> the reason to be gentle, as killing them is just too gross... I hope a baby bird somewhere has enjoyed a tasty meal from your largess.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-44240327046597592272011-05-25T06:34:03.244-06:002011-05-25T06:34:03.244-06:00I sympathize completely.

I found a slug yesterday that had eaten quite a few chunks out of a hosta and I walked it halfway across the yard to an area where birds like to hang out, hoping that one would find it a nice meal. No, I don't expect the slug's gratitude. But I like being a gentle person ...Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932826147522119761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-54626921600259419342011-05-24T18:08:12.759-06:002011-05-24T18:08:12.759-06:00I love a happy ending or was it??

Though, Janet, I'm not sure that inflicting them on <i>others</i> is strictly within the definition of live and let live. :) And Dave, it does seem like a lot to ask for only half a kingdom, but surely you're well on your way already?Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-1546729467190606362011-05-23T13:53:00.032-06:002011-05-23T13:53:00.032-06:00Survival.
