Things Your "So Called" Friends Never Told You

I was just reading a thread about someone having snakes in the yard and trying to get rid of them. Actually, no laughing matter because they are rattlers.

I responded that I would have to move. Snakes Freakme out!

A few posts later I see this gem from a good friend of mine:

You need a mongoose. Riki Tiki Tavi springs to mind.

Sorry about the snakes, but I have a story that will make you feel a *little* better, and explains why gemmie214 won't come visit me anymore

A couple of years ago, I get home from work, to find DH and DS working in the yard. DS was probably around 6 at the time. He's got this GIGANTIC grin on his face, and comes running up to me, yelling;

"Momma, momma, GUESS what we found in the crawlspace? A SNAKE SKIN!!!!! Wanna see it? Daddy threw it way out in the woods, but I know where it is."

There was a snake. IN. MY. HOUSE. INSIDE Where we live

See, DH knows I'm nearly phobic about snakes, and told DS under no circumstances was he to tell me, and then he threw the evidence into the woods behind the house. DS just couldn't contain himself.

I am delusional, and have convinced myself that the snake has moved on from my basement, and was just there to shed his skin, and leave.


Now, I may be getting on in age but I am not yet senile. I was never told this story!

Thanks Debster!!!!!

See, now I could have sworn I told you this. In fact maybe you blocked it from your mind. I thought for sure, that's why you never came to see me anymore?? That and the fact I live WAYY out in the boonies.
