Rn, Serate I totally feel your hysteria! My reactions are the same as yours...our older kitty Spanky Wayne brought an 8 to 10 inch snake in Sunday and was playing soccer with it, luckily for me, I was on my way home from Illinois, so hubby took care of it. He's also brought little lizards inside to play with too....*GAG* DH and I have an arrangement...he takes care of snakes and lizards and I take care of spiders for him.

When we lived in Florida and in Houston we had the little chameleon lizards. They never bothered me much, but one day I was at my sewing machine which was at a window, the sill of which was at my eye lever. I spotted a chameleon on the outside window sill and a palmetto bug (polite Florida term for cockroach) coming from the other direction. That cute little chameleon calmly nailed and swallowed whole that gigantic ugly cockroach! And thereafter it was "Oh, the blessed chameleons!"

RN Snakes have a bad reputation. They don't deserve it. Please don't kill them when you see them.

RN, snakes are creepy! I won't even go into the reptile house at the zoo. Personally, I wouldn't care if there were none left on Earth. <shivvers>

RN: I have a phobia Dogdoc. Can't control it. See. Snake. Piss myself and run screaming. I am with Huk'd. I think I'll move to Ireland.

RN:I'm with Hukd and Escapee! The same goes for me....I run in one spot, then start crying like an idiot. I can't attest to what DH does to the snakes, but they should know better than to be in my house! I don't go bother them in their habitat!

Well Escapee, you better pray that St. Patrick got them all out of Ireland before you move there. The geiko lizards here are always getting in the house or else the cats carry them in from the garage to "play" with. I just cannot sit by and watch the cat and mouse game that ensues and then the subsequent murder, so I get on the playtex gloves and try to catch the lizard and carry it outside to safety. Those buggers are fast too. And then, of course, the cats hate me for spoiling their fun. Nature is both a wonderful and dreadful thing.

RN Dogdoc no chances of me killing a snake. I ran screaming like a banchee. I don't think I wold have had a panic attack had the snake not been by my front door. Juju I guess you just made me change my mind. Uh, not about liking lizards, but about moving to an apartment. More chances of those cockroaches in an apartment! My wonderful hubby told me last night he had seen a couple of lizards in the back yard but didn't tell me cuz I'd freak out. Uh, I think I might have been better prepared for yesterday [well not for the snake!] had he told me. I had no idea lizards existed in Kentucky. [Iowa for that matter but after researching yesterday I found out they do.]

RN I'm happy to report I have never encountered a lizard or a snake near my home. If I did I would react the same as Serate, and Colossus would probably join me in screaming like a girl if it was a snake (he likes lizards though).

RN then I'm adding you and Colossus to my thank you list GAL! It was the snake next to the front door that had me screaming. I think I could come to tolerate the lizards if I had to as long as they weren't in the house. Maybe.

RN Happy Birthday, Tabbyking! RN I am so excited for Nightcrawler. I think in these modern times, going from dial-up to broadband qualifies as a life changing experience...LOL (I'm laughing, but not joking) RN I am getting a little aggravated with brother. He's getting his kids their first dog... and the success of his business, the money it brings, and the new hotsy totsy neighborhood he lives in has put him in the mindset that the only place he will get their dog is from a fancy schmancy expensive breeder. He wants a German Shepherd and I must have sent him 15 adverts for rescue pups that were GSD mixes, or GSD purebreds that were given up, but he won't even consider it. He actually went to a GSD show to look at their direct from Germany $6,000 pups. I'm so mad at him right now. But, I still love him more than anybody, though

RN I am cracking up! I get a catalog ever so often (once every 2 months I think) from one of the bead websites. They're about the size of a small magazine, except for once a year they have one that's a bit bigger. I just went out to grab the mail and saw a phone book sitting under my mailbox. Was a bit puzzled since I'd gotten one a couple weeks ago. Picked it up....and it's my bead catalog, lol! This thing is 1,000+ pages long! I'm going to be busy for a month looking through it.

RN just heard that there's a good chance a temp agency has some work for me starting next week... crossing fingers... (The $ isn't great, but it's $ the best part is that it's customer service which I prefer over reception.)
