I've always taken them outside to continue their little lives, but now I can't. She thinks they'll come back inside to taunt her. (This year she had one sneak out of a vent at school... right behind her. She probably came close to getting a detention because of that!)<br /><br />Snakes! They traumatize me a bit, although I'm okay with the big black snakes. Our neighbor called us the other evening... A 4-5 foot snakes in her yard. It didn't matter how much we tried to convince her that it keeps mice, etc., away, she insisted on removing it forever. Ten minutes later she called back. Another one, at least six feet long, was in the exact same spot in her yard. That was strange.<br /><br />Pictures of the boys playing in their boat are cute! Don't you just love a good imagination?!<br /><br />RobanRobanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240975327890268321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155290571763326042.post-90111698318862301482009-06-06T16:14:52.101+10:002009-06-06T16:14:52.101+10:00Oh those spiders can be tricky.

I can't even think of your big giant hairy spiders without shuddering. <br /><br />I have never seen a kspork. Sounds a little inconvenient with the awkward cheek stabbing effect, you'd think they would've thought of that during the planning phase of the utensils.

A Kookaburra is an Australian bird, they have a song that some people say sounds like a laugh. We have some that nest near by and sit in the tree outside our house and laugh at all the stupid things I do. I've got some video of our birds, one day if I can figure out how to get it off the video camera I'll post it:)Mummy McTavishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971283362730213835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155290571763326042.post-23455638770411627072009-06-06T06:07:26.602+10:002009-06-06T06:07:26.602+10:00That should read accelerator.

I know I'd be parking the car somewhere in the sun and coming back in a week to find the smell.<br /><br />@Leah - It's hard to tell in juveniles which is a snake and a legless lizard because we have two varieties around here that are incredibly similar. This one was also mid-lunch when he was caught for lunch so he had something stuck in his neck. My policy is if it's a case of safety then assume it's a snake and if it's a case of peace of mind then assume it's a legless lizard.<br /><br />@Saint Bernard - If I felt that my phobia (although I like to call it a "heightened awareness") was irrational then I might take steps to cure it but I reckon that a fear of anything that can silently creep up on you and kill you is totally rational. But you do think I'm nuts don't you?<br />Oh yeah, and there is two more matches but we only need one more to win the series:)<br /><br />@Boy Mom - nice to have you back... I love artichoke hearts... but the thought of all those fluffy little artichokes being slaughtered just for their hearts to go on my antipasto platter seems a little mean ;)Mummy McTavishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971283362730213835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155290571763326042.post-65772494386498016962009-06-04T18:02:14.609+10:002009-06-04T18:02:14.609+10:00Commiserations to St Bernard and other NSW support...Commiserations to St Bernard and other NSW supporters. I didn't watch the game, but kept an eye on the score. Very sad for blues. Enough said. <br />A tarantula walking on an arachnophobes face would sure cure the phobia because most of us would die of a heart attack.

I can't even remember that incident - and here you remember every little detail. The best way to get rid of that phobia is to go to a place (museum, reptile park) where they keep spiders and ask them to let you touch and fondle a large, but docile, tarantula (even let it walk on your face) and after several sessions of that you will be cured - I saw them do it on a TV show. Many people keep tarantulas as pets check out this site <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PadauuWF94w<br />Anyway congratulations to the Maroons, I watched a bit of the match but it was too painful, but there's always another match another day!Saint Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16444039712441368462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155290571763326042.post-48437597771444887122009-06-04T09:37:54.741+10:002009-06-04T09:37:54.741+10:00I think that's a legless lizard, not a snake. ...I think that's a legless lizard, not a snake.

YUCK!!! <br /><br />That reminded me of the time my brother had a pet snake that lived in our garage. The garage was separate from the house and my father had made it a cozy cage. A cage that the snake was able to escape from. While our car was parked in the garage. I hated riding in that car, because I was forever certain that he was slithering around in there ready to look me in the eyes. <br /><br />I do hate spiders! And, your spiders make most of ours look like midgets, but SNAKES make me lose it! I am not kidding. It doesn't matter if it is big or small, I hate them all!<br /><br />I am CERTAIN that something is crawling around on me...<br /><br />Mrs. Nurse BoyMr. and Mrs. Nurse Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717397125661709072noreply@blogger.com
