I worked out this morning at 4:45, got to work by 6:30 dressed in jeans and button up shirt. I had to put the 4th row seat back in the rental van, and even with an under armour my button up was soaked. And it was still dark outside.

Just got bit by a snake. Looked it up on the internet;It was a “Yellow Belly Water Snake” and its non poisonous. I was more worried about taking my dog to the vet than me going to the E.R.[/quote]
Wait wut?
T you and your dog got bit by a frakking SNAKE?!?! WTF were you doing!?!?[/quote]
He woke me up by barking crazy. I went outside and saw him fighting with a snake. I ran back in the house and grabbed whatever I can (a kitchen knife) and ran back. I squatted down and held out my hand and I started stabbing it. I caught off a piece of its tail and then it bit my finger. I jumped back and it got away. It hurts like hell too. I checked to see if my dog was okay because his mouth was foaming but it turned out to be just from the excitement. He seems fine and I checked on the internet if I should go to the hospital. My neighbor saw the whole thing too and told me that because of extremely dry heat we been having,snakes are rampant around our area.[/quote]
I love teh snakes.
I spent a hell of a lot of my childhood catching them and other assorted critters. I really miss hunting them.

Wow, me too. I haven’t seen a single snake outside of a terrarium since I moved to Scotland, and only one lizard. =/
Where I lived in Dallas, right next to Mountainview lake, there was a brook and a few big wooded hills I used to go ‘hunting’ for snakes/scorpions/lizards/skinks…anything cool I could get my hands on. It was always exciting lifting up the next big trunk or slab of rock and wondering what was going to be underneath. I miss that. =(
One day I was walking along the brook with some mates and caught a baby rock python! Must’ve been about 3’ long and was wrapped around the roots of a tree overhanging a bend in the brook. Absolutely beautiful and I could only guess it was someone’s pet that escaped! Took it to my mate’s house where he had an old aquarium I could plank it till I could go home and ask my mom if I could keep it - to which she said ‘hells naw!’. When I got back down to my mate’s the snake had escaped. Broke my bloody heart so it did. I was wanting to take it back to the brook…
Ahhh those were the days. Caught many a venomous snake; couple of young rattlers and a moccasin too in my time.
Oh and Quad, if it happens again - next time just take a broom and a pillowcase, calmly pin the snake down behind the head with the broom, lift it behind the head and drop it in to the pillow case and drop it off elsewhere. 
Glad to hear it wasn’t poisonous and didn’t hurt your dog too badly and that it escaped your evil stabbing. =P
k…awkward geeky moment over…[/quote]
This post excites me. Great stuff.
When I was in North Carolina, there were skinks near the beach house I was staying and the fast little bastards would run through the cacti so I couldn’t catch them.
Embrace your geekness, Stern. It’s something to be proud of.

haha, Skinks are awesome! Did you ever feel guilty when they kept on running and you realised you were still holding a tail? =D
I tried keeping anoles as pets but was too young and inexperienced to realise that I was actually poisoning them by feeding them insects from our pesticide laced yard. They kept dying till eventually I just gave up. Didn’t realise what happened till a few years later.
Had newts too at one point - fascinating things they are. ^^
But the thrill is definitely in the hunt. Never knowing what you’re going to find and whether it was going to be dangerous or not. Good times! This place misses out on a lot of that it’s sad to say.
so went in for x-rays today…managed to break every toe on my left foot except for the big toe. yay is me, I are strong, I like da pain

I spent the last week in East Tennessee, 85 degrees no humidity and people there were complaining about the heat. Yea and it was 60 degrees at night and we had no AC in the cabins. I was in heaven.

Aye it’s definitely not one of things I miss about Texas. I miss some of the good stuff associated with the heat - drive in theaters, fantastic thunderstorms, warm rain…but not that killer humidity. =/

This is how I feel when I go back to Kansas. Everyone’s got their hand fans and I’m over here cool as snake in the shade.
Ahahahahaha! Disregarding our hideous cost of living and mind boggling politics I take a brief moment to gloat about California’s superior weather.
Which I’m not out enjoying because I’m inside working a fifty hour work week to pay for my studio apartment.
HA!

^ Yea we have AC for inside fun and games to avoid the heat. Plus no state income tax.
