If you spot these mysterious black dots in your kitchen, you had better know what they mean

Can a spider poo? A mother turned to Facebook seeking guidance as she expressed her confusion over discovering a set of black droppings scattered throughout her home. Posting on a Mrs. Hinch fan page, she shared a series of images revealing peculiar black specks along her skirting board and wall.

Anyone have any idea what this is?” She asked. “Just appeared this last week or so on the skirting board in my dining room, also bits on the wallpaper and the floor which gets mopped every day! It’s not bumpy, it looks like some sort of paint splatter but it isn’t.” She continued.

Spider poo on the skirting of a home

Followers came back with a common answer – Spider Poo

Commenters all agreed that it was indeed, spider poo

Fellow enthusiasts of Mrs. Hinch promptly came to the rescue, with users confidently asserting that the markings were indeed spider droppings. One wrote: “It happens a lot this time of year, spiders pooing everywhere, Dettox spray is good for it.” While another said: “It’s spider poo after they’ve eaten flies. I get it on my window sill.” Others said it could have been “fly poo” while one user was adamant, it was “spider poo for defs”.

What do the experts say?

According to various sources offering advice on pests, spiders typically do not leave solid droppings; instead, their excrement is thick and liquid in consistency, resembling dark ink stains. These markings often appear on walls and surfaces.

Spider feces are not solid; instead, they appear as dark stains or drips on walls and surfaces. The specific appearance of the droppings varies among spider species, making it challenging for the untrained eye to distinguish.

Typically, spider poop accumulates in a specific location below their web, often in corners with cobwebs on walls. Since spiders seek dark or undisturbed places for refuge, their droppings may unexpectedly appear in various locations. The size of spider droppings is approximately that of a pinhead, and they exhibit a monotone color, with variations in white, black, gray, or brown hues.

Is spider poo dangerous to handle?

While spider poop is not proven to transmit pathogens, it is advisable to treat it with caution and handle it as if it were potentially toxic. Studies indicate that pathogens ingested by spiders do not typically pass on through their droppings.

Nevertheless, it’s important to exercise caution and thoroughly wash hands with soap and water after handling spider feces. Cleaning fresh spider droppings is easier, while dried ones may require more effort to remove and may leave behind yellow stains.

It’s essential to note that cleaning up spider poop does not eliminate the spiders responsible for it. To prevent the reappearance of droppings, taking action against these creatures is necessary. Maintaining a highly tidy environment and removing every spider web you encounter is a good starting point. There are also products available to assist with infestations, and professional pest control services are well-equipped to handle such situations.

She Bought Her Fiancé A PS5 For Christmas And Lost It When She Saw His Gift

It is difficult when you give someone everything you possibly can and they give you back very little in return. Even if they have the intention of making up for it later, it can be very hurtful.

That is the experience one woman had when she saved up and gave her fiance a PS5. Those gaming systems were not easy to come by and she had to really go all in to make sure he got the gift.

When she received her gift, she ended up losing it and his entire family was there to witness her pain. The problem was, they didn’t feel the pain along with her. She posted the following on Reddit to see if she was in the wrong.

I have been engaged to my fiancè M37 for 6 months. He is a pediatrician and I work as a hairstylist. For this year’s holidays I saved up for months and had a very difficult time buying my fiancè the gift he always wanted but never bothered to buy. I bought him a ps5 from a relative that cost +money since I couldn’t find it anywhere else. I can’t tell you how much of a struggle that was. My fiancè recently opened a private practice with his colleagues and his financial situation is better than it used to be.

This year he gifted his parents his old apartment (he didn’t tell me about that) and gave his brother his old Mercedes after spending money on customization. He got busy a few days before Christmas and didn’t ask what I wanted as a gift. I brought up the things that I might need/use and the possibility of getting them as a gift for this year. He was listening and understood what I was saying. At that point I thought that he got an idea. On Christmas day the family came to celebrate with us. Everyone got their gifts and I saw that he got me a pack of toothpicks . he handed it to me and I was so confused I asked him and he said it was for me. His younger sister started laughing quietly like it was funny. I blinked in astonishment. Like what is this? He acted like I was making it awkward. He looked serious and asked if I was going to accept it or wether he should just give it to his niece. I couldn’t believe he just said that. I asked if he was serious and he insisted that I just take it and thanked me for the ps5 I got him and told me he loved me. At that point I lost it I went to the bathroom while his family were giggling for some reason. And I felt so awful I almost cried.

He knocked on the door and told me that he was just messing with me. That it was just a prank. And that it was his sister’s idea. I lost it I started yelling at him and the whole family gathered near the bathroom and watched when I was yelling at him and calling him an a*shole for doing this to me. What’s worse is that his sister recorded my reaction for the lols so she could laugh about it later. I told him he was childish and insensitive he argued that it was no big deal when he embarrassed me infront of his parents like that. We argued and then I left to my mom’s house. He called me saying I overreacted and that he didn’t think this would be my response. His mom berated me for “ruining dinner and everyone’s mood and causing a scene” during a phone call saying I upset my fiancè by leaving all of a sudden. My mom thought they were all in the wrong for being part of this and I had no idea what the joke was honestly. The next day he showed up with my “actual” gift and started apologizing to me saying it was his sister who came up with this idea. And used it as an excuse.

This was not okay and I don’t think anyone would be okay with this.

Edit: to answer your question his sister is 23 she’s the youngest of four. He’s the oldest.

I’m a plant lover and my gift was something to do with Gardening. I grow a lot of plants in the backyard. It’s what I love to do.

Brad Pitt Is Getting Ready To Tie The Knot After Having A ‘Proper Relationship’

Life continues to move on for all of us, and this also includes big celebrities, such as Brad Pitt. Even though we may still connect him with Angelina Jolie in our minds, he seems to be ready to move forward with a new relationship.

Brad Pitt has been dating Ines de Ramon for quite some time and the two of them have been very serious about their relationship. There have been many stories flying around the rumor mill about these two, but it now seems as if Pitt is ready to hitch his wagon to her.

Life wasn’t easy for Brad Pitt after his divorce from Angelina Jolie. There were plenty of hard feelings that carried over afterward, as well as legal fees that were astronomical. It was a costly divorce on many different levels.

He has moved forward with his life and has tried on several occasions to date women after his divorce. His most recent relationship with Ines de Ramon seems to be the one that has stuck, and it sounds as if he is ready to make it permanent.

When Angelina Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, she said that there were irreconcilable differences. She also requested sole custody of the children.

Move forward to November 2023, and Brad Pitt seems to have moved forward, in a relationship that was considered his first proper relationship since the divorce. He also introduces her as his girlfriend.

Brad Pitt turned 60 recently, and the occasion was celebrated at a private room in LA. There were 30 guests in attendance, including his girlfriend, or should we call her fiancé at this point? According to one source, it has reached that level as he is looking forward to tying the knot.

He is also proceeding cautiously, as his divorce took a lot out of him and he doesn’t want to have to go through something like that again.

Restaurant Faces Backlash Over ‘Controversial’ Owner Refuses To Apologize

Note: we are republishing this story, which originally made the news in April 2019.

A restaurant called Gross’ burgers located in Danville is now receiving thousands of negative comments on social media due to a bumper sticker in the restaurant that has been deemed racist.

The bumper sticker went viral after a customer shared a picture of the restaurant saying it was “absolutely disgusting.” The restaurant owner has since refused to remove the controversial bumper sticker.

However, the customer who shared the picture of the restaurant is still disgusted about it. Sam Schnelle’s post had more than 800 shares on Facebook with the caption “f— Grossburgers. Absolutely disgusting.” Schnelle later said that she had called the restaurant so they could remove the sticker, but she didn’t receive a positive response:

“They then handed the phone to the manager who said, we are most certainly not taking it down. YOU PEOPLE are too sensitive nowadays. And then proceeded to argue with whatever recommendations/points I made and then hung up on me,” she said, “Nice.”

Peter Noone Partied With The Stones And Hooked Up With Groupies By The Age Of 19

We often hear about people who live the rockstar lifestyle. They have fans that are clamoring at their feet 24 hours a day and it seems as if they can’t get enough of the fame, along with the partying lifestyle.

This is something that many of us equate to the rock stars that we see today, but it was similar back in the 60s as well. We can see this in the case of Peter Noone, who was part of the band in the 60s, Herman’s Hermits.

This wasn’t your usual rock band that you see today, it was a little more tame as far as the music is concerned but it seems as if the teen heartthrob was doing many of the same things behind the scenes that we expect from big rock stars today.

The band toured the United States and Britain and they even had a number-one hit in England in 1964, I’m Into Something Good. Millions of records were sold and they were wildly popular.

Noone even admitted that he really didn’t know what he was doing and he had a shy little boy stage persona, which really fit in with his actual personality.

In 1965, they managed to outsell the Beatles and had 20 hit records, including There Is a Kind of Hush, and No Milk Today. A $1 million record deal was signed by the time he was 17 and even Elvis Presley came to perform with him in 1965 on stage.

He admitted that he was living the rocker lifestyle but he said that he didn’t ever get into drugs. The other rock ‘n’ roll habits, however, were part of his life.

He said that they were able to stay up all night because they were 16 and 17 years old and by the next morning, they were up and at it again. These days, he is in his mid-60s and looking back on life and all that he was able to enjoy at the time.

He also said that he never got sick of touring but he considers himself to be fortunate to have survived the debauchery of the 60s. He said it makes you stop and think because not many of his contemporaries have lived until this time.

When he was in his heyday, he would hang out at the Moody Blues house and he did enjoy drinking some. He would party with the Stones and the Beatles and hang out with them, even though they were about seven years older than he was.

They would go out to clubs and John Lennon would buy him drinks because he was only 16 years old. For the most part, however, he did it just to fit in with the rest of the people he was with.

Even though he didn’t consider himself to be an alcoholic, he did start going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings with his father at the age of 19. He realized that he did need to cut down and although his wife still drinks on occasion, he is dry.

He met his wife when he was 20 and they have been married for 43 years. At the age of 24, he quit the band and admitted that all of them wanted to do different things at that time.

These days, he is still performing on occasion and he is as charismatic as ever. You can see that for yourself in the following video: VIDEO

Less than a month after painful divorce, Jason Momoa, 44, “begging” star for a date – and you might recognize her

He hasn’t been long on the singles’ market, but Jason Momoa is reportedly wasting no time in finding a new romantic partner.

That’s at least according to RadarOnline, who claim that the Aquaman and Game of Thrones star has set his sights on Demi Moore. The two are said to have crossed paths at a recent event in Hollywood, with Momoa quite taken with the actress.

Fans will be all too aware that Momoa, 44, finalized his divorce from Lisa Bonet – his wife of four years – earlier this month. The two had been an item for 12 years, but are now free to pursue new romances following their split.

If RadarOnline are to believed, that’s led Momoa to Moore, ex-wife of Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher. The 61-year-old shares three children with the former, and last year it was reported that she was doing everything she could to support Bruce in his tragic battle with dementia.

Moore is single, but for her part it appears that she’s prepared to make Momoa work to catch her attention.

As per reports, the celebrity pair were spotted at a screening of the documentary Common Ground on January 18 (around a week after Momoa and Bonet filed for divorce).

One insider told the National Enquirer: “After they chatted, Jason snagged her number from a mutual friend, and he’s been laying it on thick, telling her she’s the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen. He’s been texting her, saying he hopes she has a day as beautiful as she is.

“It’s super cheesy, but Demi’s loving it.”

Not only that, but the same report claims that Momoa is doing his best to advance things by way of asking Moore for a date.

“He’s been begging her for a date and even calling pals who know her, asking them to put in a good word for him,” the source continued.

“The idea of hooking up with Demi is a huge fantasy for Jason,” a source told the outlet. “He thinks they would make a great match and says Demi could teach him a lot.”

Following his separation from Bonet, Momoa bid farewell to the home he once shared with his ex-wife and chose instead to make a van his new residence.

This unanticipated shift in lifestyle has surprised many people, yet Momoa openly shares glimpses of his “van life” on social media, embracing the simplicity and eco-friendly aspects of his newfound home.

What do you think of Momoa and Moore potentially dating? Let us know thoughts in the comments.

Caitlyn Jenner shares blunt, two-word response to O.J. Simpson’s passing

Caitlyn Jenner was among those who had words to share upon learning about the death of OJ Simpson.

The former Olympian who was previously married to Kris Jenner, ex-wife of Simpson’s lawyer Robert Kardashian, tweeted two simple words followed by “#OJSimpson.”

Keep reading for more.

Jenner, 74, did not mince words when she posted about OJ Simpson on X. “Good Riddance,” the media personality wrote.

Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman who was murdered alongside Nicole Brown Simpson, also spoke out.

“The only thing I have to say is it’s just further reminder of Ron being gone all these years,” Fred told NBC News. “It’s no great loss to the world. It’s a further reminder of Ron’s being gone.”

In June 1994, Simpson was accused of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman at her Brentwood, California condo. Despite originally being told to turn himself in, the former football star and a friend led infamously led police on a low-speed chase through Los Angeles.

He was eventually arrested in Brentwood at his estate.

What followed was deemed the “trial of the century.” After an 11-month trial, Simpson was acquitted of murder; however; a later civil trial found him liable for Nicole and Ron’s deaths.

The “sad last days” of the beloved actor Jack Nicholson…

The actor has and will continue to be remembered in history as one of Hollywood’s greatest as the most nominated male actor in Academy Award history

But now that he is 84 years old, the celebrity seems to have vanished from the spotlight, and there are rumors that he is not in the best of health

In fact, a source close to the actor allegedly informed Radar that the celebrity is passing out at his Los Angeles estate in his “sad last days.”

Radar was informed by a close acquaintance that Jack “doesn’t leave his house anymore,” with his son and daughter taking over the caregiving duties, despite their being no official confirmation from the celebrity or his spokespeople.

The insider source went on to add that the Mulholland Drive neighborhood was quite close-knit and that everyone was concerned about him.

He is in good physical condition, but his mind is lost. It makes me very sad to watch an actor with Jack’s brilliance end his career in this manner.

A buddy of the celebrity also provided feedback to Closer Weekly after he made a rare comment in the wake of basketball great Kobe Bryant’s tragic passing.

Jack made the following remark following the horrific helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Kobe and eight other people: “I was used to seeing and talking to Kobe… You die from it.

“We’ll miss him and think of him constantly.”

Then, after living his life to the fullest, a source claimed that the celebrity is “making up for lost time” with his family and kids.

Although the star’s last movie appearance was in 2010, it is safe to infer that he is no longer actively involved in the entertainment business that helped him achieve such fame, even though fans are left wondering what is actually going on with the celebrity.

Memory loss and forgetfulness grow increasingly prevalent as we become older. Bupa argues that as long as people are given enough time to learn and retain things, natural age-related memory loss usually does not cause people too much trouble.

Memory loss can occasionally be the first sign of a more serious disorder, like dementia.

According to the Mayo Clinic, dementia refers to a collection of symptoms that not only damage memory but also thinking and social skills. The severity of these symptoms makes it difficult for a person to go about their everyday activities.

Dementia comes in many various forms, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most prevalent.

The following are some of the signs of dementia, according to the NHS:

-difficulty speaking or finding the right words
-difficulty with reasoning or problem-solving difficulty with complex tasks difficulty with visual and spatial abilities, such as getting lost when driving
-Planning and organizing challenges
-coordination and motor skills are difficult
-Disorientation and confusion.

Unfortunately, dementia patients may experience psychological disturbances like despair, anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations as a result of their symptoms.

Approximately 900,000 people in the UK currently suffer from dementia. And according to the Alzheimer’s Society, by 2040, this number is expected to increase to 1.6 million.

Despite the condition’s extensive list of symptoms, early detection allows for a condition’s progression to be slowed down, which may allow the patient to preserve mental function for a longer period of time.

Delay the onset of dementia by five years, and the number of dementia-related fatalities would be cut in half, saving 30,000 lives annually.

The NHS advises that maintaining your overall health is crucial, particularly after receiving a dementia diagnosis.

Even after receiving a dementia diagnosis, you may safeguard your mental and physical health by engaging in regular exercise, eating a healthy, balanced diet, getting enough sleep each night, and talking to your doctor if you notice any symptoms.

18-Year-Old Parrot Joins His Human Singing Stairway To Heaven

The pandemic has truly changed our lives in many different ways. Many of us look at it as being a negative experience but for one man and his parrot, it was extremely positive.

Many of us found ourselves stuck at home, wondering what we were going to do with our time. That was also true with Frank Maglio Jr and his wife, Gina.

Frank loved playing the guitar but he didn’t always have the time to do it. The pandemic gave him an opportunity to pick up the guitar and start strumming and that is when he noticed the hidden talent of his parrot.

They have an Amazon parrot named Tico, whom they adopted from an older British woman. They love having a parrot, but they especially loved it when they found out just how much the bird loved hearing the guitar.

One day, Frank was playing the guitar and Tico decided to sing along. It all started with the song, Stairway to Heaven, and as soon as Tico started singing, Gina started recording.

They decided to post a video on Facebook and then, YouTube. A new YouTube channel was started. Frank posts videos of his duet with his pet parrot regularly and more than 250,000 people have subscribed.

Along with posting videos on YouTube, he also posts them on Facebook. People love hearing him play the guitar but they especially love Tico and how he sings along.

The comments really show just how much people appreciate, not only hearing the birds sing but the distraction of it all. We all needed this during the pandemic and we need it even more today.
