Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

Yeeeeouch!!! went to get some burgers out of the freezer in my garage....found a large assassin bug in the garage.....picked it up to toss him outside.....before I could get the door open, I felt a darn sharp pain in my finger. the stupid assassin bug bit me!!!!! within a few minutes I had some swelling and pain!!! didn't know these miserable bugs would bite....it's been an hour now....still minor swelling, nice little red spot where it bit....but I didn't get mad and kill him, he still got tossed outside.

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

is it kind of like a bee sting?
I used to get a couple of those every summer
here we've been getting eaten alive by mosquitoes in the yard
makes me think of this song/video (for me it works better in flash which is the play button in the blue field underneath)
and the french version is really cool too
Play films - Focus on Animation - ONF
it's even got a snake in it

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

wow so...... the creek by my house is really high and cloudy...... and i was walking around trying to find higher ground for me and my cousin when i faced my greatest fear..... i stepped on a truely massive snapping turtle!!!!!! i immediately grabbed it's tail to immobilize it so i didn't get bit and i brought it out of the water to show my cousin.... then i ended up going all the way back to my house (leaving my cousin to watch the turtle) to get a pillow case and a backpack to put the turtle in...... we brought it home to show my family and my friend.... so now it's in a giant sterilite storage box with a few big rocks some water and a piece of wood over one end.... my cousin called her dad and he told us to feed it raw chicken and try to keep our fingers from being bitten off pics will come soon

Shanley! Dangnabit!

Let the poor thing go unless you're going to make soup. Really, put it back. Come on, girlfriend. Just because you have the means to remove an animal from where it belongs - and can keep it in a *semi* natural habitat does NOT mean you should.

Take the poor thing back and let it go.

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

Jeepers did his first shed last nite - MY FIRST SHED!!! Wasn't there 8:00 PMish, but there this AM. Didn't know at first who'd done it but today looked at the Jeep-Jeep and not only was he bright and shiney, he was like a greased pig in my hands. So fed him and he ate an ENTIRE night crawler!

Found the Peepers monster and he's as blind as a bat with aqua eyes and butt ugly with dull, ishy, brown "skin." He should be shedding soon.

Tried to feed the Jeepster F/T pinky. No go. I'm not a happy camper about this.

The Boys are growing!
