Here is my stupid, rhetorical, useless story

[Dori]

Yes.  And she said it would only come out if my closet door was shut, which made no sense, but I was young and impressionable and to this day I can't sleep with my closet door open.  It didn't help much when I found a SNAKE IN MY BATHROOM this past summer.  I am almost back to normal now.  It amused the bejaysus out of Biersmythe.  I was not so amused.   

How did a snake get into your bathroom???

He turned left at the kitchen and slithered in.

When I lived in Raleigh, one of the idiot neighbors that lived in the unit above me had a snake that escaped and got into the AC vent.  It was an older building, so some of the air ducts were the fiberglass-and-foil types and not stamped metal.  The snake crawled down into one of them and died.  It happened during the middle of July when it was 90+ degrees outside.  Man, it was awful.  The entire building smelled like death for weeks.

I'm scared of snakes because of this one time in band camp I was running from some thugs on the roof of a rail car. I fell through the roof into a car full of snakes, then many years later I was lowered into a pit looking for the lost Ark. I suddenly found myself face to face with a cobra.

Oh, Henry.
That reminds me of a story about when I was imprisoned in a top secret soviet facility, and I was forced to invent a candy bar that would wind up saving the world. At least the northern hemisphere, maybe more.

Several years ago, I was in (I believe) Monett, MO in the early morning with my camera equipment, looking for interesting areas to photograph.  There is a creek that runs through the area, and I thought it looked like a great spot to take a photograph.  When I got down to the water, it looked even better than when I saw it from afar.  A dam of logs had created a small waterfall, and I quickly gathered my equipment to snap some photos. 

When I got down to the water's edge, there was a nice open chasm that would have put my camera at the same level with the lower part of the water.  I hopped down into it the chasm, and just as soon as I landed, I noticed all of the crevices and the floor was absolutely FULL of snakes.  I don't mean five or six or ten snakes, but an entire nest.  By the grace of God, I didn't land on one when I hopped into the chasm. 

I took one photograph facing one wall of the chasm (figuring nobody would believe me). By the grace of God again, I scurried out of there without disturbing a single snake.  I have the photograph in an album somewhere.  If I can find it, I will upload it.  Unfortunately, it's in black and white.  I didn't know I was going to be shooting wildlife.     As I was leaving, a man was approaching the same edge of the water with a little boy of about five or six, who looked very excited to try out his new Scooby-doo fishing pole.  I told the dad to not go anywhere near the water, because the area was full of snakes.  I'm guessing my pale complexion and clammy looking skin was a giveaway that I wasn't joking. 

I still have nightmares about that snake pit.

Insane family member bought a constrictor type of snake.     She was 16 at the time and the snake was a baby.    She even slept with the crawlie under her pillow.  3 years later Mr. Snake was getting a bit large and she married and became prego.      So--she with many tears turned Mr. Snake loose, waving good by to her pet.

A week later she heard screams from a neighbors home, seems Mr. Snake had crawled onto a warm lawn mower to sunbath.    She watched as the Police, fire department and an ambulance responded to the 911 calls, mingled with the neighbors who gathered to see what was going on.   

Somehow she managed to keep a straight face over all the panic, quietly cheering on Mr. Snake  to keep up the fight and get away.     

Does Insanity run in family's ??

Can't be too bad, no one in jail at this time------Oh wait-----I mean, well you know we would be a dysfunctional family if all members were sane with no hang ups or  hang downs.

Personality's of children from the same parents has since I am an only child fascinated me all my life.  Not to mention how identical twins can become so different in some cases in personality. 

I babysat for identical twins, girls and they looked alike but one was very fem. and the other a butch at 13 years old.   One grew up to become a teacher, the other a stripper.     Just what is a mental state for anyone ????

The only thing my family has in common is we do not like Obama.  One 2ND. cousin is a Paul bott but as we never see him whoop-tee-do.   

[Bad Dog]

whoop-tee-do.   

Mini poll;  Is Vesta partaking of the grape a little early on Sunday morning or, have her morning meds not kicked in?

It amuses me that I could say good morning Vesta, and you would post a story from your youth.

Not my youth, this nutty kid, what else to expect from a teenager, is I expect, the same kind of people that brought those horrid snakes to Florida. Why parents allow their kids to keep these beasts in their home is beyond me.   

I do not understand why adults would want a snake, alligator or bob cat in their homes.    Sooner or later they get too large and are turned loose to fend for themselves, akin to dropping 5 year old children off in the forest and expecting them to survive. 

Difficult enough to raise domesticated animals, cows, sheep, horses and hogs.   Unless one is into miniature potbelly pigs that sleep with them like dogs, undomesticated animals and reptiles need to be out in the wild learning to fend for themselves.

Say is this anything like raising Liberal kids ?
